Fat And Over 50. Dinks Dine Delish. Dec. 8-16 08. AS I DISCO TO "FINALLY"..THE END!

[Poppinsme]

YAK and YETI. Well we really loved it. The food was good and a real surprise. We came up to the front desk and told the young man that we had no ressies. He said "How about a seat at the bar where you can order" Are you kidding me! "Say no more" Great chairs and the bartenders were so much fun and sweet. The other adults sitting at the bar with us were not stuffy and we ALL talked about the food and drinks. So much fun!!! It was a really cool Disney experience. And having 2 beers apiece helped I'm sure.

I had the steak and shrimp and it was very good and of course cooked very rare just like I ordered. The shrimp tempura was nicely turned out. Dipping sauce was good . As were the veggies and rice. No way could I finish this feast after eating the Dim Sum (very good). The portions were HUGE!!!

DH had the ribs and he states that for rib lovers they were just delicious and fork tender. He enjoyed the Dim Sum basket and was shocked that the portions were so huge. DH couldn't finish either.

On this trip we were total winos. But when we saw the beer choices, well game over, gotta try them. They were very good.
There has been a lot of negative reviews about Y&Y on the DIS. We are here to say that we found the service, food, ambiance, and fun, wonderful.

Cost: $91.57 Tip: $30.00

I'm in, loving the reviews!

Just looking at your tag pictures..is that your English Bulldog? We have one, she's 3, her name is Bailey.. best dog ever!

Yes! His name is Buddy(4 yrs. old) and we adopted him from English Bulldog rescue back in May. We just love him to pieces. Had no idea that bullies were so loving and sweet. We call him our little love sponge as he is a small bullie boy only weighing 40 lbs. He had never seen a horse before, so when he came to live with us, it was hilarious to see him and the horses just standing there staring at each other. Buddy is a real tuffy to wards the 1000 lb. horses. I think they just roll there eyes.

We ate at Y&Y and had the same entrees as you guys, we loved them too!

BTW my DH is a bulldog lover and he says yours is the cutest!

California Grill It was very good. But what happened to the dress code? DH and I really dressed up for this one. Suit and tie for DH and lovely dress for me. We were way over dressed!
And that is sad.

The cheeses board was most delicious and a good choice. But I must say I liked the selections at Flying Fish better with the wine flight. I thought the Sashimi/Sushi was good but Ive had better. DH really enjoyed his flatbread, filet and his favorite the Ravioli. The desserts were great when we ate them later on a late night. We both really liked the wine as it was perfect with our choices. I did find it strange that there was no recommendations given for correct wine. At this level of service there should be a sommelier to make suggestions when asked what would go well with the courses.
The view was outstanding of course and we were not rushed. Carol was an excellent CM and served everything well. She had just finished nursing school so we had a nice chat about NICU. The atmosphere was really like a large bistro. Very loud even late on a Wednesday. We brought left overs back to our room.

Total cost: $239.63 Tip: $60.00

Would we go here again? We both wish we had gone back to V&As but we are glad we tried CG.

BOMA I really liked this very much. DH thought it was OK (he was tired). We tried quite a few things and enjoyed them all. No complaints. Our server was Brahim and he was very good. No rushing and the plates were cleared immediately. The food and smoothies were delicious. I really liked the watermelon rind salad. DH loved the soups as I did. YUM!!!

Cost: $70.89 Tip: $20.00

We will go back.
