OK, now that I don't have a grabby kiddo on my lap, I'll type more. And capitalize when I can.
We had every intention of having had a lunch before our BB reservations (11:30am...I was actually the very first person to get a reservation when I called so you know I got a waterside table), and then we were just going to share a cookie boat.
And then my brother joined us, I spent a good 40 minutes waiting for him instead of snagging food, then we went on some rides, and almost missed checking in for the reservations. So...we ended up being hungry.
DH and I are vegetarian, and there's only one choice for us on the menu (portobello mushroom dish). We did split that, and with the split plate fee we each got a salad which was actually quite good (had to request it without the sausage), and if they have a full version of their wedge salad, I can recommend it. The mushroom, however, was drenched in vinegar, and not all that enjoyable. Part of that was my fault, as I could barely see my plate and sopped up the balsamic plate decoration instead of picking around it.
DS absolutely refused to touch his kid's mac and cheese, and when I got a lot at that dayglo mess in the daylight, and especially when I had a taste, I did not fault him one little bit. Ick.
My brother is an omnivorous marathon runner, and he really enjoyed the monte christo sandwich, though he only ate half the bread (all the meat filling, though). No veggies for him but the potato gratin they had along with the white asparagus.
I paid, and with the AP discount it was still over $80.
And only ONE of us enjoyed their full meal.
It would have been much better to let my brother eat what he wanted, but to just go with our plans and order dessert. We would have been happier.
So if just ordering dessert, or begging a big salad from them, will make you happier than paying for something you won't like, then do it.
I agree! I am planning on doing this when we go next summer. I'm just going to make a late ressie and we'll just have dessert. That way we get to enjoy the atmosphere, but I don't have to worry about spending a lot of money on a meal that I'm not sure we would all enjoy.
) It had avocado, tomato slices, a little pile of blue cheese, and ham cubes. DH and DSS had the Jambalaya. DH cleaned his plate, and DSS said that the waitress took his plate a little too soon. I choose the Monte Cristo. It was very rich. Loved the potatoes. Between DH and I, I dont think that we ate a 1/3 of the sandwich. We are so glad that we went, just for the experience. We were so full, we didnt get dessert.
it was very good 
it was the way jambalaya was intended... and just an FYI...BB only serves the MC at lunch, not dinner but you can get it at any time at CO...they even have a 3 cheese MC which my friend loves...
