Actually, our original dinner PS would have been for Pucks that Tuesday nite, except Pucks was hosting a private affair, so the restaurant was closed to regular patrons.
The Flying Fish proved to be a fine substitute!!
Our PS were for 6:00 and we arrived promptly. I was dreading being seated in the "Cabanna Room" but this nite we were in luck--it wasn't open!! It must be how I look or something, but in virtually our last 4 meals at FF, they always lead Uncleromulus to that back room. Are they trying to tell me something???
Our server that evening was Chris J. and he did a fine job. Good sense of humor, attentive and well versed in the FF menu. We wanted for nothing and the meal was well paced. I now have a confession--I have forgotten what beer I ordered!! Almost unheard of, but for some reason I can't recall. Not that it was anything special--that 'Flying Fish" Ale they used to carry is long gone, so I suspect I had Bass, or Sam Adams. I know--Mrs U didn't write it down in her "daily log"--I'll blame her
BY the way--she had a glass of Reisling to begin, then a glass of Chardonnay that was "paired"' with her meal.
Her appetizer was the Steamed Mussels, with Oriental Coconut Curry Sauce and Sourdough bread. She loved it and when last I looked, was still mopping up the curry sauce with the bread!! I had the "Peeky Toe" Crabcake with Flying Fish Slaw. THis one's been on the menu for a long while. The crabcake is sweet and tasty and the slaw has a bit of a zip. It won't make you forget a Md. style Cake, but as an appetizer, it's fine.
Mrs U selected the Wood Fired Scallops for her entree. These are served with Basil Risotto, Confit Currant Tomatoes, and Sweet Onion filled Piquillo Pepper. Nice sized scallops and very delicious. Only thing--there were but 4 scallops. For $33.00, I think a fifth (or sixth) scallop would have been in order----. $8.00 per scallop seems a bit steep---.
For my entree, I selected from the Chef's Thunder and ordered (yet again ) Halibut. As I said once before, halibut is halibut. This was served roasted in Lemongrass tea, with Bokchoy, mushrooms and leeks. Quite tasty and at least the skin was off!! I didn't like it enough to wish it a permanent part of the menu tho-
Desserts were excellent--for me, the trio of house made sorbet. THis nite they had Strawberry-Basil, mango,and Concord Grape. Mrs U had a chocolate souffle. Souffles aren't easy to come by, and she really enjoyed this one.
Two coffees ended the dinner and we left with a sense of another fine meal under our belts.
Dress and kids report--a fair # of kids that evening, including several in the toddler range. Dress seemed mostly "resort casual", but as always, a # of theme park casual and a lot of shorts. No sportcoat/dresses that I could spot---.

I know, I'll just keep going back to WDW until I can fit them all in!
