Hello again!
7/15 - Habour House (counter service). This is where Disney can be very expensive - especially if you have kids. Counter service throughout the parks are like going to the movie theater. It racks up pretty quickly. Anyway, I got the chicken fingers and my hubby got the soup and 1/2 sandwich deal. I was impressed that they had a vegetarian option (hummus sandwich). It was average at best.
Columbia's in Celebration - Went to visit friends who live in Celebration (really nice houses!!). They took us to the downtown area which is wonderful! Columbia's was marvelous. Too stuffed from the black bean soup to finish my entree of two small tenderloins and a small crock of scallops in a cheese sauce ( I can't remember the name of this combination entree, but it was wonderful!) to get dessert. No usage of our diabolical plan.
My husband had a grilled fish (my mind is playing tricks because I can't remember what he had. ARGH!) and said it was sublime. Good sangria as well.
7/16 - Mitsukoshi. Had sushi for lunch here. Some of the best sushi that I have had. I liked their miso soup because it had a combination of strips of tofu and small blocks of tofu. The iced green tea and the sakura drink are also very good.
Le Cellier - They are touted themselves as the best restaurant of the World Showcase. I haven't eaten at all of them yet, so I can not dispute their claims. The best steakhouse I have eaten at - hands down. I have eaten at Morton's, McCormick and Schmick's (wrong spelling) and practically any of the big name steakhouses and Le Cellier was unbelievable. The filet was melt-in-your-mouth and my husband's NY strip was fantastic. We did mention our anniversary, but they did not give us a free dessert, which was fine. They did give us a card signed by the staff which was cute. We ordered the dessert sampler and was treated to some wonderful desserts - sorbet, a chocolate torte and a maple creme brulee. WOW!!
7/17 - Todd English's BlueZoo: This is the closest to a Vegas/Miami type restaurant in Disney. Created for the hip and happening, it is blue-tiful with a sea theme. Great speciality drinks although I would stay away from the avocado margarita. It tastes good, but it didn't agree with my husband. I had a tuna tartare appetizer that was to die for. My hubby had a scallop appetizer which was also very good. He had a Wahoo with a light sauce ( i forget which one) and I had the salmon with a crabmeat and scallions sauce. Both were wonderful. They gave us a dessert sampler for our anniversary (It worked again!) which had the best sorbet I've ever had. It also had a chocolate, peanut butter thingy that was so good I don't how to describe it. Best restaurant for me during the whole trip.
The world showcase has some great speciality drinks like the Chocolate Dream in th UK and the Kir Royale in France. It was fun to try different tastes in this wonderful park.
All in all, a feast of wonderous proportions. All of the food was good, but some were better than other. i do also recommend going over to the Boardwalk area. We made PS at Spoodles, but never made it. The menu looked good. ESPN had some nice speciality drinks as well.
Thanks for reading!!
