Hi yall!!

This is going to be my first review ever!! :banana::banana::banana: I'm excited, can't you tell? Anyways, I will be posting all 3 reviews tonight (yes with MANY pictures) due to that I am too exhausted to do so right now. But don't worry there is plenty of delicious and disappointing moments to come as the day progresses.

*Wed, 6ish, Paradisio 37, Downtown Disney.*
We have dined at paradisio 37 twice before and they have once again changed their menu..... and it wasn't pretty.

Ok, so P37 is a walk-up only place, so no ressies needed. We are seated immediately, and looking around the place is practically a ghost town. Creepy. And yes, we had a waiter.... who I saw like maybe 3x.:confused: So far the only reason I'm excited is because I knew I would be taking pics for the review.


On to the food!

Aaron got the chicken burrito. He said the burrito was tasty, the rice was rice, but the mixing it with the beans made it better.

Shorty got the pineapple bacon burger. She said the pineapple made the burger juicy and she liked the fries. I think she forgot about the bacon cause she didn't say a thing about it:scared1: That's not my sister...

Mum and I shared the crispy fish tacos (which I asked for to be grilled because fried things and grease on my belly is just as right as a rabbi haveing a subscription to the bacon of the month club) and the shrimp and jicima salad. The shrmp and grilled pineapple was very tasty, a little too much dressing on the salad for me but mum liked it. Now the tacos..... ok they sucked epically. Bland, Bland, Bland...............Bland. There are no other words that can describe them..... bland.

Overall we would not be rushing our way to the doors of P37. :sad2:
 
OMG SPOON!!! The dang computer made me refresh and I have to start all over :headache::headache: Sorry guys, it's a little too late for me to type the reviews over again. I promise I will do them tomorrow!!!

Yes, Fabio is very cute and was a wonderful waiter. At least Kai and I enjoyed having him as our waiter. :rolleyes1
 
*Sat. Shorty's B-day party*

So it's shorty's birthday celebration today and we are going to epcot! Since we are annual passholders and live 90 min away from Dis :cool1: we are just going for the day. Shorty wanted to make it for rope drop so we decided to have b-fast at home.

Ok, we make it for rope drop and get to ride the first flight of Soarin! We also ride the sum-of-all-thrills ride. FUN!! Mum and I went together. She isn't much into loopy rollercoasters however, I am.... muahahahaha!! Yeah I jack up the rise with 6 loops going as fast as it will let me:rotfl: Mum actually liked it. we are SO doing that again!

Anyways you're here for the food not my rambling:rolleyes:

After a little shopping we check up on the time of our adr for VN. Calling.......WHAT, WE HAVE NO RESERVATION!?!?!?!?:scared1: Yup, our ressies for that day were gone..... crap. But wait, there's a spot open for 11:00? Yes, we'll take it!!:woohoo:

*11:30ish VN*

We enter VN, not new to this place we have eaten here before, and we are seated within about 5-10 min. It's pretty quiet, of course it just opened. Our waiter Fabio (cuite) is very attentive and friendly, takes our drink orders and heads off. We all pretty much know what we're getting so when he come back we are ready.

Aaron got the four cheese pizza. *Note: all the pizzas are individual sized and I will put down the names of them in english.* He darn near fainted with love the last time he got it. Loved it just as much again. There is quite a bit of cheese on this pizza, quite, and no sauce. For all you Cheesey McCheese lovers out there, this is your dream come to life. Too much cheese for me and I prefer sauce. Mum liked it, and I think shorty might have had a slice, though she was really into hers. Oh yeah, all that white stuff, that ain't crust...... that's the cheese.

Shorty got the prosciutto and melon pizza, again no sauce. She also got this last time and loved it agian. I don't think she shared a piece :laughing:
100_1620.jpg

Mum and I shared the prosciutto melon pizza and veal salad. Mum loved shorty's pizza last time and vowed to get it this time. I really wated to try the salad which was HUGE!!! I mean freak'n huge!! Mum and I split it, Shorty had some, aaron tasted it, and we still had some left over! Pizza: Mum LOVED, Me, again prefer sauce but still good and I like the melon. Salad: Shorty didn't say much, Mum liked it very much, she and I thought there was too much cartalidge on the some of the veal, but the apples that came on top gave the salad a great crunch and flavor with dressing. I thought overall the salad was really good. I would ask for the dressing on the side, too much for moi, and no gorganzola.... I don't like blue cheese or his cousins ::confused3 but it was still really good.
100_1619.jpg

Now during all of this VN had become increasingly busy. Unfortunately Fabio was seen less and less :( Especially at dessert, which might I say took forever...

Next it's time for dessert.
 
I was too full and didn't see anything that really caught my eye on the dessert menu, but I did say I would try mum's because I have been dissing the pistachio nut for a while and she wanted me to try it again.

Aaron got the Zeppole. Basically a donut hole with chocolate sauce and whipped cream on the side. All made fresh though. He liked them quite a bit as did mum and shorty.
100_1626.jpg

Shorty got the tiramisu, which she had no trouble finishing.....hmmm did she share with anyone. Oh well, it was her birthday. And no, VN didn't do anything for her b-day:sad1: but it was ok.
100_1627.jpg


Mum got the pistachio gelato. she freak'n loved this!!! It was house made gelato. Aaron loved it as well. Me:crazy2: do not like the pistachio......... but as long as she liked it.
100_1628.jpg

Great experience at VN and will be going back!! Extra pics!!

Stay tuned for La Hacienda.

6:ish LH, B-day Dinner.

We walk up to LH and are greeted with very friendly staff, asked to step inside and are seated immediately.. It is really pretty inside, and I think would be very pretty for an illuminations dinner. Now we are all really excited and are greeted by a semi nervous waiter, Memo. Though he may have been slightly on edge he was informative and was very eager to please.

Mum got a blueberry mango margarita I think..... well here's a pics of it and her rather enjoying it :goodvibes

And we were served chips with salsa verde and a spicy/smoky salsa. I liked the smoky salsa better. yummmm
100_1638.jpg


All the entrees are served with corn tortillas and rice.
For the entrees Aaron got the Flank steak tacos. There is a tamale behind the cilantro. We all thought the tamale rocked hard!! The steak was well flavored and tasty as well, but that tamale....
100_1654.jpg


Shorty got the fried shrimp tacos in flour tortillas. She liked them very much.
100_1652.jpg


Mum and I shared the Del Mar for two. I'm going to put what we both thought. OMG THIS IS AMAZING!!!!!!! The shrimp were slightly spicy, seasoned perfectly. The fish was super moist and delicious. And the scallops (which were HUGE) were perfectly cooked. I don't think I've ever had a better scallop. Mum agreed. I Loved this dish SO SO SO much!! The only bad part is that is was a huge plate and we got full so fast! Oh so good.
100_1653.jpg


This is me after one of, if not the best meal that I've had at disney.
100_1656.jpg


Next it's DESSERT!! YUM!
 
Dessert time!

Aaron got the guava tamal which he like very much though mum enjoyed it more I think. I've tried guava before and didn't like it but I thought I would try it again.....eehh not my fruit I guess.
100_1660.jpg

Shorty got the Churros with hot chocolate. This dessert screams her. She was wearing her Lean Like a Churro shirt today just for this :rotfl: She loved it of course.
100_1657.jpg

Mum got the empanada. She liked it though aaron enjoyed Hers more. They should've switched. I thought it was ok.
100_1659.jpg

I got the mexican ce cream. I LOVED it especially the mango..... oh the creamy mango.....:love: It had three flavors: Watermelon (I don' like watermelon so I didn't really eat that one), Mango:love:, and another fruit that I forget the name of but it was a meican fruit and it was delicious as well. But that mango...... if I could just have that mango. AAHHH LOVE!! I almost didn't share.
100_1658.jpg


Now I have to admit that after all of this was done I started to tear up a bit. No seriously, I don't know what came over me. I know I was exhausted from being up at 5:30am, but the meal was so good. The combo brought me to sheer numb goodness I guess. We actually just made an ADR for this on my 17th B-day for illuminations, YAY!!! :dance3::banana::dance3:

Well that's it for now. Until we go to disney next (soon), thanks for reading yall!!
