.
NOTE1: Average food quality. This is not the quality of a New England seafood buffet.
They do have crab legs, but they are smaller legs and the meat is REALLY stingy. Not
high in quality, but will do in a pinch, as will the clams or mussels. Clams are tasty,
but are smaller Littleneck Clams. Face it, you can't make big Disney profits if you use
high quality crab, clams, mussels on a medium-priced buffet. Since the rehab, the ribs
are gone and as are the key lime tarts. The Oreo Bon Bons and Peanut Butter Cookies
are also gone from the buffet, but can be purchased in the resort's gift shop. Another
way to cut costs, they have replaced the corn-on-the-cob with niblets. Absolutely pitiful
way to cut things !
.
NOTE2: People were used to running to the buffet when crab legs were replenished; loading
the plates sky-high; gorging themselves at their table; leaving uneaten plated legs. Now,
your SERVER brings a bucket of legs to your table, as they are not on the buffet. This cuts
down the waste. It also cuts down the amount you can take & eat, because Cape May is known
for their inattentive and slow service. If you don't get it, you can't eat it. Your appetite
erodes while eating other items and fewer expensive crab legs are consumed. When we tried
the new service, our legs were still of average or below average in quality and they were
service slightly warm instead of steaming hot.
.
NOTE3: The new rotation for the "fried food" daily specials:
. . . Everyday: Paella, Snow Crab Legs, Steamed Clams, Herb-Marinated Salmon
. . . Sun & Wed: Fried Shrimp
. . . Mon & Thu & Sat: Fried Clam strips
. . . Tue & Fri: Fried Calamari
. . . Sat: Chef's Choice
. . . Sometimes: Short Ribs appear, but on a random basis as a Chef's Choice
.
NOTE:
The snow crab legs are small and not too meaty.
To many, they are a disappointment.
Let's face it, one can't serve unlimited crab legs of good quality for the Relatively Small Disney price.
