Biergarten German Buffet.

Beer Flights. YUM.

BIERGARTEN Well we love it here! Once again we sat with the stuffed shirt crowd. To bad for them. I don't think they liked me singing along to the band! Lighten up its Disney.
Our server was Silke and she was so sweet telling us about the Oktoberfest and a super server.
The beer and food were so good. And we were so stuffed we never got to the desserts. I don't know why I didn't take more pics? Alcohol.
DH liked the light beers and I liked the darks.

Cost: $83.05 Tip: $25.00

Would go again in a heart beat!

GARDEN VIEW LOUNGE TEA What can I say? Magical, romantic, lovely, emotional? Yes to all. How fabulous.

We each had the Grand Tea. With champagne of course.
We both love scones and these did not disappoint.
DH had the trifle for dessert and I had the pastry choice. HHMMMMM pastry.
DH had the Garden View blend tea. I had the Nobo Whole fruit tea. Yum!
Tea sandwiches were yummy. It was very grand and most filling.

I actually cried as the last thing I did with my mother before she died was to have an afternoon tea with her like this. Mother would have loved it.

Cost: $54.32 Tip: $20.00 Our server was Eileen and she was so wonderful!

Cant wait to go back as this is a must do.

I am really enjoying your reviews and pictures.

Can you clarify one thing for me (well actually it will probably end up being two things).

The cost for Boma - was it $50.89 plus a $20 tip or $70.89 plus a $20 tip?

If it was the first one - can I ask - what did the server do for a 39% tip? You didn't mention anything outstanding in your review so I'm just wondering (not judging - I've sometimes tipped very high for no other reason than the server said something that was amusing, or I was in a really good mood that day).

Hi! Your title drew my attention and I'm so glad it did! Great reviews so far!

Add me to the list of people who say you look great and I'd never guess you were over 50! Side story - I was just carded at WDW in Dec (I haven't been carded in YEARS-- and shouldn't be) but anyway the CM refused to believe me but then said "well, I guess it (alcohol) really does keep you young!" Words to live by!!

Well thanks to you I have definitely added Flying Fish to my wish list and am coveting a concierge level stay even more.

I felt the same way about San Angel. Good thing the margaritas came first.

Looking forward to more.

IL MULINO Wow!!! Very, very good. Our server was really very fabulous and I don't remember her name, nuts. The service and ambiance was first rate. We felt so relaxed and unhurried. Where we sat was nice and comfortable with good views. Both of us had wanted to really try this restaurant and we are so glad we did. Very romantic and quiet.

The veal was cooked perfectly as was the gnocchi. Wine so good! Loved the appetizer.
Bread and bread sticks were delicious.
We had no room for dessert at all. But the lemoncellos hit the spot.
Portions were huge and we felt bad leaving this but we were flying out in the morning.

All said and done Il Mulino was a great experience that we liked better then California Grill.

Cost: $221.47 Tip: $60.00

Definitely would go back.
The boat ride from the BWI to Swan was so nice too.

Enjoying the report!

Are you a NICU nurse at a New Orleans hospital? I live outside the city. I have used 2 different NICU's unfortunately. Just curious where you work.

Love your reviews! Giving me ideas on new places to try

 

[TigerKat]

Oh my, the food at Il Mulino looks incredible! We're trying to decide if we're going to do the Deluxe Dining Plan or no Dining Plan at all and we'll be staying at the Beach Club so Il Mulino will be very close by.....that Saltimbocca looks amazing......

enjoying your photos - especially the Afternoon Tea - brings back some wonderful memories....
