On with the show ...........
Aug 19 continued, dinner at Boatwright's Dining Hall.
We went back to the resort after another shopping spree at DTD and needless to say our friend Froggie was enjoying the wet weather.
We settled in our room and nibbled a bit off of our treats from Goofy.
Fay had come to stay and we were relaxing in the room watching TV.
We were discussing cancelling our reservation at Boatwright's since it was raining so hard, but then decided to stick with the reservation and just try to get over there as dry as possible. So we put on our ponchos and were lucky enough to only experience light rain while walking to Boatwright's. When we reached the podium we were surprised to see so many people line up. Those without a reservation were told that there was at least a 60 - 90 minutes wait - ouch!!!
We were glad we had our reservation and once we were signed in we were seated within 10 minutes.
We had a nice table overlooking the podium and there were people trying to get a dinner table all the time we were there.
Our server was really nice (forgot her name) and she suggested some drinks with our meal.
Tom tried the Ultimate Long Island Iced Tea - lots of alcohol, but still very yummy,
while I ordered the Frozen Strawberry Margarita. I am not really into alcoholic drinks but this one was really nice, even though you could taste the alcohol in it.
Right after our drinks arrived the server brought over some cornbread and butter. It was slightly warm and melt in your mouth - sooooooo good! The bread alone would have been worth walking over to Boatwright's in the rain.
We had had a look at the menu on the internet so I wanted to try the Grilled Filet Mignon - served with Crawfish Hollandaise and Three-Cheese Hash-Brown Potatoes. The Filet was cooked perfectly and the Hollandaise was just so good with a scent of crawfish and the potatoes - too yummy to talk about them.
Tom's choice was the Slow-roasted Prime Rib - with Three-Cheese Hash Brown Potatoes and Cabernet Sauce. Again - prime rib just cooked perfectly, so tender! Potatoes heavenly, but the Cabernet Sauce was out of this world.
By now our server had seen us taking pix of all of our food and came over asking if she should take a photo of the two of us. She was VERY surprised that I was going to use the photos in my tripreports/homepage and to post here on the DIS.
Since we were on the
DDP she "insisted" on us having dessert. Not that it did need much to "talk us into it", LOL!
Tom went with the Chocolate Cake - with Fresh Cream and Raspberry Sauce which was very chocolatey and very rich, but SO yummy!!
I was intrigued by the Bananas Foster Angel Food Cake - served with Vanilla Bean Ice Cream. The Ice Cream was nothing to write home about, I have had better before, BUT THE CAKE was so soft and melt in your mouth and so yummy together with the Banana Foster Sauce. I was stuffed even before I tasted it, but it was VERY hard to put the spoon down, LOL!
Well, here is a photo of "the two of us" with our desserts - don't we look happy?
We could not believe that we had been to POR so often and had had breakfast quite a few times at Boatwright's but never had been for dinner. What a hidden gem - we will definitely come back next summer!
When we finally returned to Oak Manor it looked like Froggie was looking out for us.
We were full and tired and fell onto our beds watching more of the Fay coverage.
