We're Back and I Can't Stand to Look at Another Dessert Apr.2010 6/2 Crystal Palace

[lumpy08]

Great reviews so far. Great Pictures as well. I tried to do this last trip and I kept forgetting and would remember after we already started to eat.

Quick question.... The bread with macademia nut butter is that only at Kona for dinner? My MIL keeps talking about bread that she had at the Poly... I have an ADR for Ohana dinner would I be able to get it there.... Or should I switch my ADR to Kona?

I can't see any of the pictures, am I the only one?

 

[NitemaresSister]

I can't see the pictures either. But this might be a good thing bc I absolutely LOVE the breakfast pizza!!! A friend of mine dreams about it And now I know that they also have it at Pizzafari... SO EXCITED!!!

Sorry you missed your ADR... stupid busses!

 

[tink713]

Sorry guys, pictures are back up. Just had to add bandwith on photobucket.

 

[letstalkboutdisney]

love the reviews! Great pictures.
can you tell me what was on the breakfast pizza?

 

[tink713]

Not that this helps you any NOW ~ but when we were there in January I was talking with a CM about how hard it is to make it to and ADR using Disney Transportation and be on time ~ especially for a breakfast from one resort to another (like you BLT -->AKL) Well he said that your ADR is good for up to TWO HOURS after your ADR time. I would never abuse it ~ but if you are gonna miss something you really want ~ you should still go. Next time that is.

Been reading along and loving it! Getting me so excited for my trip!

That's a really good tip. Thank you. I get such anxiety when we are a few minutes late for an ADR, so this will put me at ease a little next time.

Loving these review! They are making me even more super antsy for my own trip

Thanks for reading! I love reading dining reviews before my trip too, makes me change my ADR's a million times though.

Oh that looks yummy. I never thought about Pizzafari for breakfast. Can you customize the breakfast pizza or what you see is what you get?

Pizzafari was really good for a quick breakfast, plus we were just about the only ones in there. The breakfast pizza only comes one way, but it was yummy.

I believe that the bread from Ohanas is pineapple bread not the macademia nut bread. We've never tried Ohanas but Kona is a great way to go if you switch your ADR.

Oh I know, those darn WDW buses.

love the reviews! Great pictures.
can you tell me what was on the breakfast pizza?

The breakfast pizza had a country gravy, cheese, scambled eggs, and peppers on it. I believe they cook them to order so they are fresh every time.

Our day in AK we had made an ADR at Yak & Yeti and I was so excited to try this restaurant. We were seated right away and seated upstairs.

I really was looking forward to trying a Yak Attack, but I just wasn't in the mood for an adult beverage that day. I just got a water and DH a coke.

For my appetizer, I really wanted to try the seared ahi tuna. I had never tried ahi tuna before so I was excited to see how it was. Wow it was so good! It was chilled ahi tuna and it had great flavor. DH hates any kind of fish and he was so grossed out by this but I thought it was fantastic!

I recommended the lettuce cups to DH after good reviews here on the Disboards. They had a very different flavor (maple tamarind) but they were very good.

For my entree I ordered the chicken lo mein. Now, we have a chinese food restaurant back at home called Singapore that has awesome Chicken Lo Mein so I was afraid that I would be disappointed with this dish. I was wrong. It was great, lots of chicken and the size of this dish was huge! I wish I could have taken the rest of it with me but walking around the park all, it wouldn't have been a good idea.

DH ordered the baby back ribs. He loved these! They just fell off the bone. They're his favorite ribs at WDW now.

For dessert, we both ordered the fried wontons. These are as good as everyone says! Cream cheese wontons with vanilla ice cream and honey vanilla drizzle. I feel like I've been using the words great and awesome too much this review, but really our whole meal was perfect!

We will definetly be going back to Yak & Yeti next trip, and possibly every trip. It was that good!

Price-$86.94 Total so far-$553.74

Up next...our other new favorite restaurant!

YUM! That Yak and Yeti lunch looks really good The Chicken Lo Mein and fried Wontons look DELICIOUS my mouth is watering!

 

[tinkgurl]

Oh yum, Yak & Yeti! It's a favorite for Fiance and I. We're finally getting my family there in July. I might just have to try that ahi tuna!! I had the tempura shrimp in March and the house salad. Both were amazing!

As for your list for your ADR's coming up...I'm so glad that you're doing the luau! We love it and do it every trip!! The food is soooo good.

I'm glad to hear you love the luau. We were a little unsure of this ADR as I've heard alot of bad reviews on the food.

 

[tink713]

I was sooo looking forward to this reservation as I had heard many good things about Citricos and the menu looked awesome! We arrived about 20 minutes early and we were seated right away. I can't remember our servers name but he was very informative about the menu and he was also very friendly. Here's our view of the GF from the restaurant.

and our personalized menu with a pretty floating candle in the middle of the table.

I started off with a Sangria. I love trying Sangria at all the different restaurants, its always good but always has a different taste. We also got our bread and butter. One of the breads we were given had olives in it, and I'm not a fan of olives normally but this was really good!

For my appetizer, I ordered the sauteed shrimp - Lemon, White Wine, Tomatoes, and Feta Cheese. This was fantastic! The blend of the feta and shrimp was perfect.

DH ordered the duck confit-smoked duck breast with tomato and egg fettucini. The duck was very tender and had a great flavor to it.

For my entree I ordered the oak grilled swordfish with crispy potato pastilla and sauteed spinach. Wow! This was the freshest piece of fish I have ever eaten. So flaky and tender. Delicious! DH actually isn't a fish person, at all but he tried a piece of this and he even loved this!

DH ordered the filet sicilian. Oak-grilled Filet of Beef with sweet vidalia onions, peppadew and banana peppers, quattro formaggic crushed potatoes and veal glace de viande. He loved it. He said that it was the best filet he's ever had. He likes his filet's well done and this was actually still very tender yet well done. He was very impressed by this.

We both ate every single morsel of both our appetizers and entrees, they were that good!

For dessert, we both ordered the warm chocolate banana tart. This was fantastic too! Like a lava cake with bananas inside. Sooo good!

We left here full and satisfied. This was by far the best meal we've ever had at Disney. We ended up spending 2 1/2 hours here we enjoyed ourselves so much.

Total (w/o alcohol)-$125.14 Total so far-$678.88

Up next...Tangierine Cafe and lots of Epcot snacks

I am so happy to see you enjoyed Citricos! My DH has been apprehensive about eating there, but I think once he sees your picture of the filet sicilian, his mind will be put at ease!
