My DH and I just got back from a 4 day weekend in the world. We were on the DDP (a first for us) so we tried some new restaurants. Neither of us is a foodie but we are both in our mid-thirties and have crossed the line where quality is preferred over quantity.
I will rate each experience based on:
Atmosphere
Service
and
Food
Rating system from one to five thumbs up.
Day One
Counter Service at POFQ-lunch
DH-steak and cheese sand., chocolate cake
Me-chicken parm., beginets
Atmosphere-The decor was festive. There was plenty of seating.
Service-I'm not sure how anyone on the dining plan who has not researched it even manages to get things ordered here. I tried to ask questions and felt like I wasn't even speaking english half of the time. No one offered any information without serious proding and any questions I asked were responded to with barely audible grunting or pointing.
Food-
Steak sand-DH said it was fine but wished the bread had been toasted or grilled.
Chicken Parm.-The chicken patty itself was nummy and crispy. The sauce was too sweet for me and the pasta was soggy and over cooked.
Chocolate Cake-Dry...
Beginets-I had read up on these and was expecting a doughnut like pastry. i would describe them more like an elephant ear from the county fair. They are wonderful. The texture is firm and chewy.
BOMA-dinner
Atmosphere-The lodge is georgous! I liked the set-up of the buffet as it seemed spread out enough to prevent bunching.
Service-Juan was our server. He was informative and efficient. He was not very "warm" but was certainly polite and good at his job. The whole staff was helpful and we never wanted for anything.
Food-We had a wide variety of foods. The soups were amazing. The prime rib was delicious and we both loved most of the other dishes. I found the Zebra domes to be a bit sweet for me but loved the coconut tiramisu.
