Wow, that makes me want to eat there and say I'm vegan- just to get that special food.
Alas, I have come to bury Caesar, not to praise it.
But first -- the soup!
I've had the tortilla soup before it was just as good as before. The soup tasted fresh, had just enough spice to give the sour cream garnish something to cool, and had the rim of the bowl liberally dusted with cumin, which I pushed into the soup to give it extra cuminy goodness.
I give the soup a Lisa.
And now the salad.
Caesar salads appear on the menu of nearly every restaurant in the US. With something that ubiquitous, it's amazing how broadly inconsistent its recipe can be. I opted to add on the shrimp to my salad. They tasted fine and were cooked perfectly, although I don't think they were quite worth the surcharge that amounted to nearly $2 per shrimp. The prize was at the bottom of the bowl -- wood grilled pitas that had been brushed with olive oil. They were smoky and delicious.
Unfortunately, those tasty pita wedges were buried in the blandest caesar salad I've ever tasted. I suspect no anchovies or garlic had been harmed in the making of the dressing. The shredded cheese on top did nothing to enhance the flavor either and in hindsight I suspect it may have even been a parmesan imposter (maybe mozzarella?). Perhaps TDCNala's fifty cents was enough to bribe the Kraft grated parmesan off my salad and onto her fries.
I hate to rob pitas to rate all but I'm sending the whole dish to the hounds.
It really didn't help that service was also painfully sloooooow. Perhaps we've gotten too acclimated to the expedited service in the table service of the Disney parks.
If I return to Mythos in the future, I'll spare Caesar and beware the sides of starch.

LOVED the 'Ohana review! I'm a vegetarian so I'm hoping for some good food. Does anyone know if Chef TJ works on Tuesdays?
On the vegan thread it says he's apparently off Fridays and Saturdays.
You ate really well this week! I really enjoyed your reviews. I do have one question though. I do prefer sweeter fruitier margaritas, which one(s) would you recommend, there are a couple that caught my eye, but if you had to rank them how would you rank these three, passion fruit, blood orange, and peach.
