Dining reviews 11/25-12/6-Lots of pics, a little talk - Counter Service - The End!

Oh my, the Blue Zoo looks amazing. But, it might be too rich (and not food wise but cost wise) for our blood! :lmao:

I'll borrow a phrase from Lauren - "We're going to BZ even if we have to eat pb&j and drink cheap beer all week".:rotfl2:

Good one! :rotfl:

I just sent my brother the link so he could see the Blue Zoo pics. Maybe he'll try it next time. :thumbsup2
 
It looks lovely, being English I didn't have a clue who the celebs were though and had to google them :rotfl:
 

Blue Zoo - Where do I begin???? This was the most wonderful dining experience(the most star-filled for sure) we've ever had on any trip anywhere. I guess we'll start at the entrance:

The atmosphere is electric and funky, you almost feel as if you're underwater. Dave was our server for the night and he was wonderful. Before I get to the incredible food let me address the "star-filled" part of the evening. DS had made a trip to the restroom and when he returned he told us "Joey Fatone just walked in". We thought he was joking but within seconds Mr. Fatone himself was being seated at the table next to us. We were stunned when he invited us over to his table for pics and autographs. He told us that a friend of his would be joining him soon. No sooner had we sat back at our table in walks Drew Lachey! He invited us over also. I'm telling you these two guys were genuine sweethearts, they were so friendly. Here's the pics I took of my son's girlfriend with each of them:

To be continued.........

How cool. Drew always looked so sweet and down to earth, It's nice that he and Joey are like that in real life also.

I have good ideas, right? :rotfl:

I hope it was worth the wait!!!;)

::yes::

Good one! :rotfl:

:yay: With Kathy's pics and reviews, I think I would kick myself if I didn't go to BZ next time...Heck, the drinks alone make me wanna go. ;)
 
Fabulous reviews Kathy (not sure how I missed these :confused3 ). Is it wrong that, even with all the yummy-looking food in your report, the thing that has me really excited is the pictures of my beloved Skyy-Berry Martini :lovestruc
 
But what about the bread basket?? Any details??
 
We are leaving Sunday and I was hoping to see the Bluzoo review b/c we had an OK experience before, but did want to try it again. You did make our choice easier. That seafood platter is right up our alley. Any chance you will have Chef's up soon? While this has always been a must for dinner when we are in Epcot, I have seen a lot of negatives lately. Your tastes are in line with ours, so I think I can trust your judgment.

Not wrong at all!! You are the one I have to thank for introducing me to that yummy concoction here on the DIS!:worship:

But what about the bread basket?? Any details??

Sorry, no. We're not big bread or butter eaters, that's why there's no mention of them in any of my reviews. I know, we're wierd.:upsidedow

I should have Chefs up by early weekend. If not please PM me and I'll give you the specifics. We enjoyed it very much, the teens not so much. We had great service and would probably go back.:goodvibes
 
Thanks for the Blue Zoo review...fighting strong urge to make the rest of this reply rhyme...

Some day Jay and I wiil get there ... we just have to! That seafood platter alone looks like it's worth the price of admission. :thumbsup2

And, I am now officially out of touch because I have no idea who either of those celebrities are that you talked about in your review. :lmao:

The seafood platter alone would make me a very happy woman any night.:cloud9:

Joey & Drew were both in "boy bands", NSync and 98 Degrees some time back and both went on to "Dancing with the Stars". Drew's brother Nick was married to blimbo Jessica Simpson.:rolleyes1
 
TigerKat Blue Zoo looks fabulous! We really want to eat there.
Being BIG Drago's nuts....is the lobster as good at Blue Zoo?
Your report is so yummy. :thumbsup2

The last few years all I've gotten at Drago's are the chargrilled oysters. So I can't really compare their lobster.The lobster on the shellfish platter was just chilled, perfectly steamed lobster. I can't remember all of the dipping sauces but there was a cocktail sauce, a wine & vinegar based sauce and a butter sauce infused with fresh herbs, I THINK!!!

The Cantonese Lobster was so different than any other way I've ever had lobster before, it was one of the best dishes I've ever had anywhere.:cloud9:
 
I'm WAAAYYYY late to this party girlfriend, but I finally made it. I hope you saved a drink or two for me. :lmao:

Great reviews! The pics and your experience are almost enough to get DH and I back in Jiko. Almost. We agree with you on Kona and Coral Reef. Not happening again.

Can't wait to see what you thought of Chef's. Our last experience there was 2 years ago and the food was good, but DH won't return. He didn't like the fact that all 3 female members of our party were swooning over the very handsome male server. :laughing:
 
Gosh I haven't been on in a few weeks and all these wonderful reviews and pics are on that I am missing!
Your reviews are fantastic! THANKS! Can't wait for more.. lots of new drinks to try I see!:thumbsup2

Hey, I've got a bottle saved with your name on it. I've been waiting for ya!;) If you can, give JIKO another try. Chefs will be up soon!!!

Thanks for joining in.....for some odd reason I stopped taking pics of drinks the rest of the way. Maybe my brain was in a state of "martini freeze"?????

I have never heard of BLue Zoo before where is this restaurant at?

Blue Zoo is at the Dolphin.(Swan & Dolphin Hotels)near the Boardwalk. It's a lovely resort.:goodvibes
