Eric, my server, had made several recommendations to me for appetizers and entrees. This was another one of those times when I wish someone had been with me, so I could sample several different dishes.
I finally settled on the chilled seafood salad for my appetizer.
This was a mixture of jumbo lump crab, lobster, and shrimp, as well as some mandarin orange slices. There were also two sauces, a lemon creme fraiche, and an avocado cream.
All of the seafood was excellant, and there were several nice large pieces of each kind of shellfish, the oranges added a nice subtle sweetness to the dish. The sauces complemented each other, and the overall dish well, with the avocado cream cutting the slight tartness of the lemon creme fraiche.
For my entree I was in the mood for steak, and I was definatly in the right restaurant to satisfy that craving. I choose the filet mignon.
This was an eight-ounce filet, that was cooked over an oak-fired grill. It was served with mashed potatoes and red wine sauce.
Out of all the dinners I had the whole trip, this was probably the most "boring," being as it was the least complex, and was just steak and potatoes. That however, is not a complaint. It was the best filet, no, best steak, I have had in my entire life. It was cooked perfectly, and had a nice flavor to it. The mashed potatoes and sauce were wonderful as well. There was absolutly no negative aspect to this dish at all.
It was then time for dessert. Which at that point, I really didn't need. But by reading this manu of my reviews so far, you should know, that if it's included on the plan, I'm going to order it. Plus I had been shown the desserts before the meal, and they had looked wonderful.
Although Eric recommended the creme brulee, and I considered the special dessert for the Year of a Million Dreams, which were Grand Marnier strawberries, I choose the tasting of Valrhona chocolate.
This was a trio of three fruit-infused chocolate desserts. Going from left to right is a passion fruit cream filled dome, a banana-chocolate mousse, and an orange-white chocolate lava cake.
The passion fruit dome reminded me of the zebra domes, except with very different flavors, but with very similar consistancy. I thought it was good, though I thought the filling was a little too tart, but I don't really care for passion fruit in the first place, so that was a matter of personal taste. The banana-chocolate mousse was wonderful. It was very light and creamy, and had a great flavor to it. I especially loved the small piece of caramelized banana it was served with. The orange-white chocolate lava cake was excellant as well, and was the sweetest and richest dessert on the plate.
Remember how in part one I said I had planned to order wine with my dessert. Well, one of us, either myself or Eric, did remember it, and I had a glass of Rosa Regale, which went wonderfully, with my chocolaty dessert.
For those of you who have never had Rosa Regale, it is a wonderful dessert wine, so I find it quite odd that it's not on the dessert menu, and only the regular wine menu. It is a red sparkling wine, with tastes of raspberries and rose petals. I highly recommend you try it if you are a fan of sweet wines, and it is available at Epcot in the Italy pavillion by the glass, so is very easily acessable.
Overall, I loved my meal at Yachtsman Steakhouse, and I will definatly be returning. I would love a chance to try many more of the wonderful sounding menu items. I really can't say enough good things about my meal, so I'm just going to leave it at that.
Looking forward to the remainder and def the outcome of your visit to the YSH.
Can't wait for part 2.
But other then that, I have never been treated differently for being solo, and most times I get a very nice table. Anyway, if you have any questions, comments, concerns, anything, feel free to PM me at any time, I would be happy to discuss whatever.
