Victoria & Alberts
Part 2
As the evening progressed, so did our anticipation! How could this get any better??? The harpist played beautiful music throughout the night...it completely added to the entire atmosphere. Notice the coffee pots on the table
I was super interested in these.
Fourth Course
Five choices were given with this course, 2 of which cost extra
the Kobe Beef $35 & the Wagyu Strip Loin $80
Kurobuta Pork Tenderloin and Belly with Verjus-Bacon Vinaigrette paired with a Shiraz
Niman Ranch Lamb with Candied Fingerling Potatoes and English Peas paired with a Mendoza
Australian Kobe Beef Tenderloin with smoked Garlic-Potato Purée paired with a Cabernet Sauvignon
As youve seen, the dishes that are prepared are a culinary masterpiece. Each entrée is not only mouthwatering, but its precisely plated
.food should be appealing to the eye, and the chefs at Victoria and Alberts have succeeded in making this happen.
Fifth Course
Two choices were given
Colston Bassett Stilton, 24-Month Parmigiano-Reggiano, Comte Saint Antoine, and Flagship Reserve Truckle Cheddar paired with a Port.
White Chocolate Gelato with Tableside Shavings and Micro Orchids paired with a Moscato DAsti.
The servers and maître d dont miss a beat
when a lady gets up from her seat, someone is there to pick up the napkin and bring a fresh one when she returns. After we returned from the ladies room, there was someone there to seat us once again. This happened with both my mom and me
.I tried to glance around and see if they literally had someone watching for this sort of thing, but it didnt appear that they did.
And if youre curious as to what the restrooms looked like
.here ya go! Can you believe my mom got pictures of the restroom??!!
Inside the actual restroom were separated rooms for each toilet area
they were not exquisitely decorated as you may think
very simple but elegant.
Even the décor outside the restroom area was simply decorated but very tasteful.
This was one of our waiters, Chris. I cant say enough about him
very poised, extremely mannerly and full of culinary knowledge. We were very surprised when he told us that this was his first week at V&As
they trained him well!
Sixth Course
It was finally time for our final course
the dessert and coffee. This was probably the hardest choice for me because of the tempting descriptions Terry gave us
6 of them! I was also excited about the coffee
these very unusual coffee pots peeked my interest from the time we arrived
now I was actually going to see one in action.
I think this is a vacuum coffee maker, but dont take my word for it
this is how it works
It is actually 2 glass globes, one set into another, with a filter (usually a cloth filter). The bottom glass globe is suspended over a heat source. This set up looks more like a high school experiment than a coffee making device, but it does make a good cup of coffee. I was completely amazed!
Caramelized Banana Gateau
Vanilla Bean Crème Brulee
After all of our courses were complete, they brought out several pieces of chocolate
as if I could put another bite in my mouth! Then, they presented my mom and I each a long stemmed red rose. Each couple was also given a loaf of date bread to take back to the resort.
On our way out, we struck up a conversation with the Maître d, Israel. He was such a delight to talk with, and so very kind. Long story short, we told him that we would be returning to the GF for dinner at Citricos. He kindly walked us out to the Citricos Hostess and told her to please try and reserve a specific table for us by the window
.very polite of him.
Victoria and Alberts was most definitely the highlight of my entire trip. Even though we were there for 3 ½ hours, it was thoroughly enjoyable
never did we feel rushed or hurried. The food was never delivered too slowly or too quickly
.timing was impeccable. Everything
and I mean EVERYTHING
was perfect....especially my dinner date...my DH
If you are a finicky eater, then this might not be the place for you
the menu is selective and changes daily. However you dont have to be a hugely adventurous type of eater to enjoy this restaurant
just be willing to try something out of the ordinary. If you are a vegetarian
have no fear. When they presented our menus, they presented a Vegetarian one, also.
I cant say enough about this dining experience
.would we venture out and do this again?? Absolutely 100%! Even though its more costly than the basic dining at WDW, its well worth the price. Perhaps one day we will try the Chefs Table
just not sure if I could eat 10 courses
....until then, well have to rely on the memories of V&As Main Dining Room.

Faith is something and will do anything once...heaven help us
This could be a problem in years to come
But they say this is the experience of all dining experiences. Who knows?!....one day, right!
Thanks so much for the compliment! Guess we could do multiple pictures on the card...have never thought about that
. I am excited to try it but also a little concerned as I wouldn't say I am an especially adventurous eater. But i figure that this will be my opportunity to branch out! I love all the various cooking competition shows and am also looking forward to watching the kitchen action!
Don't feel bad...my DH ignores me, too, when I start talking about more trips to Disney
I did see KOOKS pictures!!!! Holy cow! That's what you call Pixie Dust!!
10s the magic age...get going!
