And so it was that on this night, the three of us had dinner at...
After checking in we waited for quite awhile to be seated. But it was during this time that I received some great news. Vicki (GoofySon'sMom) and Andrew were on their way back to Magic Kingdom, so we would be able to meet after all. Consequently, I was in a great mood when we were finally seated at a table right next to this really cute couple...
Okay, let's move on to the food now, shall we?
Here are some menu pics...
And the rolls...
We decided to start by sharing this appetizer...
Zucchini Fries - Breaded seasoned Zucchini with creamy Sun-dried Tomato Dressing for dipping
Our Rating - 4/5
These were very good and probably would have been given a 5 rating if there had been just a few more fries. Eight zucchini fries were just not enough for 3 people to share, plus the fact that 8 is not easily divisible by 3. Do you know how difficult it is to split the last two fries into three equal portions? Because of course, no one was willing to forfeit their full share, not even me. There are many sacrifices which I willingly make for my children, but my 1/3 share of two delicious zucchini fries was not one of them.
And speaking of sacrifices, I stubbornly also refused to share an entree with my DD. When she asked, I reminded her that I was not her father and had made no such deals with her.
Unhappily (and perhaps a little out of spite) she proceeded to order the same entree as me...
Cannelloni filled with a mixture of Ground Beef and Sausage, Mozzarella, and Ricotta served with Marinara and Alfredo Cream Sauce
So I really wanted to love this, mostly because I wanted to justify my unwillingness to share it with my DD. But sadly, I did not.
I rated it a 3 at the time, but I really only gave it a 3 to save face. In all honesty I would probably have to agree with my daughter's rating of only a 2. In fact, when I inquired as to the name of their chef at Tony's, our server said he was a boy by the name of "Ardee".
Oh, I'm totally pulling your leg.
It was definitely nowhere near as bad as that dreadful stuff that comes in a can. If I had to describe this dish in one word it would be, "BLAND". Nothing more, nothing less. But for me, when it comes to Italian food, BLAND is a dirty word.
So did my DS pick the winning entree of the night?
Here is what he chose...
Chicken Parmigiana - Lightly Breaded Chicken Breast with Marinara sauce topped with Melted Mozzarella over Spaghetti
The answer to that question would be...Nope.
He also gave his entree a rating of 2, saying that while the chicken was okay, the pasta tasted really weird.
