Day six...part three
Yay! dinner at the castle!
This is our third time dining at the castle, all during dinner. This is also the first time dining with the fairy godmother and mice. Honestly, it was a worse experience because of it. While the service didn't lack, everything felt ...well, lol, common... the other times we've eaten there we felt like we were being treated royally. Now it was no better than eating at Applebees. When the music started for the show, I felt so rushed to eat, it was nerve wracking. I ended up just putting my fork down and refusing to eat until it was all done...I like to enjoy my food, darnit, don't rush me with your mice running around!
I also hated the fact that we couldn't be seated until after our picture was taken. I don't care about the picture! I want to be seated! gah
anyhoo
I had the field greens, which was v. similar to the one at Artists Point in the flavors. Not over the top, but subtly mixed. Dh had the corn and crab soup, which to most people would be heavenily, and while it was good, we have a local resteraunt that has it's own version that blows it out of the water.
I had the lamb, which was ok. It was just a very fatty cut of lamb, the accompaniments and seasoning were great, it was just difficult to eat. I can't remember what DH got, but he liked it!
For dessert I got the pear...and yes! mmm. nice. Our server was very nice and brought DH a scoop of ice cream, not on the menu, but it's what he wanted.
The only thing missing with dinner was wine. I understand, but it's just not a meal to me without wine.
Oh yes, there were fireworks at our table at the window...
Loved the around-age-9 girl who managed to plant herself between myself and the window in order to watch the fireworks. Mind you when I say that we had a window table, I mean that I table was a table for two pushed up against the wall...and this girl still found it to be ok to stand there. Hello? Eventually her mom retrieved her, but it took way too long imo. Why would you let your kid do that? That's just rude, and a nine year old should know better.
Other than that, it was magical, as it should be.
more to come for day six!
