Hey Everyone! We got back from WDW about two weeks ago, but this is the first chance that I've had to post my dining reviews! Here it goes...
First Day
Dinner: Portabello Yacht Club (8 on a scale of 10)
I really liked the atmosphere of PYC and we were lucky enough to not be there when it was too busy. My DH thought it was the best meal of the trip (we all had pasta), but the sauce on mine was just too meaty tasting. DD and DS (both 17) liked it as well.
Second Day
Lunch: Columbia Harbor House (9)
As far as counter service goes, this one was was great. DH had the fried fish and liked it, DS and DD both had the chicken fingers, and I had the salad. All great and we had the upstairs almost all to ourselves.
Dinner: Restaurant Marrakesh (9)
This was one of our best meals. I loved the interior, the belly dancer, and the food. I would have given this one a 10 if it hadn't been for the small children who kept running around the restaurant and playing with what looked to be either expensive or rare musical instruments. I know i should be used to it after having two of my own, but I was still surprised by some parents letting their kids have free reign that hindered the CM's from doing their jobs.
Third Day
Lunch: Teppanyaki (10!!!)
My favorite without a doubt. The food was light and delicious, our chef was very friendly, and it was a wonderful break from the hot day. I had never tried this before and was very impressed.
Dinner: San Angel (8)
Even though the atmosphere was great and our DD had a blast putting her spanish to work with the waiter, the food was less than amazing. My steak was overcooked (which I will not complain about too much b/c its better than undercooked) and only my DS cleaned his plate, but that's no surprise
Fourth Day
Lunch: Wide World of Sports (10)
Ballpark Hotdogs....need i say more!
Dinner: Artist Pointe (7)
I try to be positive about every restaurant, but I had a hard time with this one. Our service was slow, the food was mediocore, and the prices were just too much for what we got. But I also wasn't feeling very well, so maybe that had something to do with it. However, this is probably one of two I won't go back to.
Fifth Day
Lunch: Brown Derby (9)
DS and I both had the Cobb Salads and loved them. I love the atmosphere of Brown Derby and it was not crowded at all when we went. Very Enjoyable!
Dinner: Whispering Canyon (6)
This is another I won't go back too. It was deafening at some points, we were shoved in a corner, and our waiter was never there when we needed him. The food (I had the pasta) was nothing to write home about. However, my DH ate here for lunch one day when he was feeling sick and had to go back to the hotel and said it had been a lot quieter.
This is it! If you have any questions, I'd be happy to answer them.
