Our next trip is june 2015, I plan on purchasing a AP for myself and getting the TIW card... love to see all your yummy food reviews!!!!
Its so very helpful to show me the menu through the window.
.Ahh yes, Yachtsman Steakhouse. During my March 2013 family trip it was our favorite meal and became my second favorite signature restaurant. Then after our disappointing December visit there (service-wise) and an even more disappointing meal this time, YSH quickly dropped out of my favorites list. But I'm not quite ready to give up on it yet, so am planning to give it one more chance. Hopefully Yachtsman will redeem itself for me in October and for you and Em too when you return there this summer.
No, not apart of Paula's February girl trip team (I feel as though I am missing something though... )
I was reading Paula's Dining Report (It's Magical! A 10yr Anniv Dining Report with Extras!) and I saw in your siggy you were doing this one To say the least, I can live vicariously through you and Paula and all the wonderful dining reports for the next 373 days until my trip of gluttony.
Yachtsman was one of our throw-ins as a "possibility" for our last night at the World but my oldest daughter is now leaning towards Narcoossee's. You wouldn't happen to have an opinion on that one, would you?
I just found this latest report. I love reading about your many adventures,especially with your daughter. You inspired me to take my youngest daughter on a trip for her birthday over Memorial Day weekend. It was a wonderful trip that neither of us will forget. I laughed about your No Ooey Gooey Toffee Cake . It was one of our must do's this trip but I just couldn't eat anything else. Of course, my daughter could, and she continues to remind me that I had to have a taste of hers. It was only half a spoon!
Oh man, your Yachtsman meal sounds abysmal. Considering the prices of a signature entree in WDW right now, how could they even serve that piece of meat? It's even sadder that the issues weren't exclusive to you.
Yachtsman hasn't been a priority of mine for a while (since I reduced my consumption of red meat), and I don't expect to rush back whenever I'm back in Orlando.
And btw, you're right about the cuts, such as 'Ohana - their latest change is a big problem for me. Besides the shrimp, the chicken was the only protein I was willing to eat (not a fan of chicken wings - too fatty and slimy). While I won't be returning to 'Ohana as a result, it's obvious that someone else will take my spot there and pay the (inflated) prices. Thus, there's no reason for Disney to stop the cuts.
Wow, Brenda ... that really was a terrible looking piece of meat! I admit I like my steak more on the well done than the rare side and I don't even think I could have eaten that!
With having a subpar meal with Andrew last August and our experience in December and now this experience for you all, I am not even entertaining the idea of Jay and I eating there in the Fall. As I said on Barb's thread it is really too bad because I really think the best plate of food I have had in Disney was at YSH.
On another note, I have added Tusker House, more for the characters than the food. I have always liked the restaurant and thought the food was just Ok. Andrew doesn't like TH at all. So I am going to give it a try with just Jay to see how I feel about it.
We felt the same way you did about the TH breakfast, where is Donald?! I don't want a picture of just us against a wall, so we declined Peter was so disappointed the donuts were replaced with donut holes, that was his favorite at breakfast. I had a couple of the donut holes and thought they were quite good though.
Yak and Yeti appetizers are sooo good! No dessert I totally understand being too full!!
I am still shocked over YM, you know I love that place, but I always stick the filet. I can't believe they would serve a piece of meat like that.
I'm sorry your dinner at YC was not very good. I can't believe they would even serve you a plate looking like that!
I have to admit, I am a little shocked that a signature restaurant, such as Yachtsman, would even consider that meal worthy of serving to a customer. I think it looks as though Sian and I made the right decision not to eat there on our March trip.
Hi Brenda,
That is one sad looking piece of leather on your plate. I can only hope that our anniversary meal in July looks Nothing like your meals did. If I get served something like that, for that price, what comes out of my mouth will most certainly not be "magical", of that I can be sure!!!
So sorry your meal at YSH was such a flop. Our first trip to Disney in 2002 we went to YSH and it was awesome. WWWWHHHHHEEEEE those onion rolls are so so yummy. The next time was not so good, except those rolls and garlic. I just found the recipe for the onion rolls and pinned it on pinterest.
I have booked Kona for breakfast for September. We have had dinner there but never breakfast. Had to try before they closed.
Hi Brenda! I'm looking forward to another one of your dining reports, especially since you went to several of our selections for our August trip. Sorry the Yachtsman was a disappointment. That is on our list. Eeek.
Our next trip is june 2015, I plan on purchasing a AP for myself and getting the TIW card... love to see all your yummy food reviews!!!!
The filet normally comes with spoon bread, but you can substitute the mac and cheese!
WOW Brenda- was horrible piece of meat they served you... have they no pride... I am not going back to YSH.... too much of a negative trend
Yikes on your prime rib ... I have shoes with softer leather than that piece of meat! They should of just said they were sold out on prime rib rather than serve you that eeeww! Even your potatoes looks done and not a good done. Also your husband's beautiful rib eye does look over cooked as well. I'm always so surprised at restaurants that specialize in steaks that can't cook a meat to order.
Upside beautiful company, delicious onion rolls and nice wine : )
It's still going to be a little while before I get to my YSH review. Was hoping to do it before I left tomorrow but I have a whole previous day to get through first! So yeah... not going to happen.
This was not a pleasant meal at all unfortunately. I have to admit that Michael's Ribeye at least actually LOOKS like a Ribeye, unlike mine which was a VERY poor cut of meat.
Only two more meals to get to the tale of the TRAGEDY!!
OMG! No they didn't?
So - breakfast was a fail. Bummer. I have never had TH breakfast and I can't stand stale cinnamon rolls. I have to agree that subbing KK for donut holes is just wrong. This is one of the things I don't like about Disney. They have jacked up the food prices but they are making more and more small cuts to things and its starting to show.
Dinner sounds like a total disaster. I have never eaten at Yachtsman. I want to, but its a steakhouse and I vastly prefer seafood over steak. It's got to be the most perfect steak ever and I am so afraid of a fail like that. Thank goodness good company redeemed the meal.
Looking forward to more reviews.
Waiter: what would you like for dinner tonight?
Brenda: I'd really love some shoe leather swimming in brown juice with a side of whip cream
Waiter: you're in luck that is the house specialty
Seriously can't believe someone would even serve that, let alone a disney restaurant. Shame on the chef. Read barbs report too and hers was pretty bad too (though at least looked appetizing). We will stay far, far away.
O.k. Felt really bad for you at Yak and Yeti! That is one of our top 5 .. of course, it's because of the wontons. I don't know what I would do if I could not enjoy that meal.
When my DF and I went to YSH, I was coming down with a head cold. I could not taste anything (Unless I blew my nose and tried the food at that moment). I did not enjoy it at all. I keep asking my DH if he could chose between YSH and Le Cellier... He tells me YSH. Of course, I couldn't tell you what I thought... It was sad.
hi there! nice to meetya!
wow about that end cut. I work at a steak house. they should have at least turned it over. I know endcuts are served that way, but maybe if they had flipped it it wouldn't have kept cooking (being in contact with the warm plate)
since there was doubt about it from the get go, the server should have shown it to you and asked if it was ok immediately.
I only ate at YSH once, I got the porterhouse. nebo said I wouldn't eat the whol thing, but I did! (if it hadn't bee a fancy place, I woould've picked up that bone and gnawed on it! kidding)
at boatwrigths this last trip I ordered my prime rib medium.. when it cam out it was more medium well to well. no pink at all. it was dry. I would have said something, but the expeditor just dropped it off and was gone in a flash.
I try my best to go back to a table a few minutes after delivering the food, in case soemthing isn't right or they thought of something they didn't think of while I was delivering the food.
looking forward tot he rest of yout report!
ps "Hi Millie!!"
I guess it will be Shula's for steak from now on, maybe? I had a sirloin steak at the Crews Cup Lounge and it was delicious, and a lot less expensive, too.
Ahh yes, Yachtsman Steakhouse. During my March 2013 family trip it was our favorite meal and became my second favorite signature restaurant. Then after our disappointing December visit there (service-wise) and an even more disappointing meal this time, YSH quickly dropped out of my favorites list. But I'm not quite ready to give up on it yet, so am planning to give it one more chance. Hopefully Yachtsman will redeem itself for me in October and for you and Em too when you return there this summer.
What a disappointing meal at YSH!
I really enjoyed my one and only visit there. I would be scared to try again because of so many negative reviews!
Can't wait for more!
.
Yes.. Maybe it's just Hunter and I that are bad luck for YSH!! I hope you both have better meals!!
Loving your dining TR so far!!! So sorry you had a bad experience at Yachtsmans... wonder what is going on there, it has always gotten wonderful reviews!
How did I miss your dining report!!?
Wow about that piece of meat!! Medium??? More like well well done! I can't believe they would serve it either. So sorry you didn't enjoy Yachtsman! I didn't care for it too much either in March.
