Well, I can't believe it....I am going to have to post ANOTHER bad report about something at DCA. My wife and I went this morning to DCA to go to the Taste Pilot's Grill for breakfast. It was never anything to write home about, but it was okay. I actually liked the sausage, biscuits and gravy. Well, we went this morning and were told that Taste Pilot's will no longer be offering breakfast. Now the only place that you can get breakfast is at the Pacific Wharf Restaurant. (The place with the clam chowder and salads in the sourdough bowls.) We got there and the menu was as follows:
Scrambled eggs in a bread bowl with bacon and fresh fruit. $5.99
Didn't sound too bad, so we got two of them. Well, as we walked to our table my bacon blew off my tray, hit the ground and shattered into at least 25 pieces. (no exaggeration) Then, the wind blew the pieces into the water. It was surreal. I had bacon, I didn't have bacon. I went back in and told them that the wind took my bacon. They were nice and replaced the bacon. I also told them that I was a little concerned that the bacon "broke" up like a meteorite when it hit the ground. They said that these pieces would be better. I took them back to the table and prepared for my meal. The bacon literally shattered in my mouth. It just broke up.
No big deal. I don't really like bacon anyway. On to the "scrambled eggs". I thought they smelled a little funny, but I dug in. Something wasn't right. I couldn't put my finger on it. My wife did, though. She said "these scrambled eggs taste like hard-boiled eggs." She was right! They were crumbled up yokes from a hard-boiled egg! Yuck! I have NEVER EVER asked for my money back from a meal before, but I did today. I went back and told the manager that I was sorry, but I had to ask for my money back. She was very nice and went right to the register and got it. I appreciated that. She asked what the problem was and I told her about the cremated bacon and the hard-boiled scrambled eggs. She told me that they don't get fresh eggs, they only get hard-boiled eggs to put on their salads. They simply crumble up the yokes and make them look like scrambled eggs. I told her that that was a bad idea to
try selling that. I told her that it would hurt their lunch and dinner business. She agreed and said that they were asked by Disney to provide breakfast because they needed someone in the park to offer breakfast now that Taste Pilot didn't. Oh well, now you can't get breakfast at DCA! What next?!
The good news:
We saw the Monsters Inc. show on the little stage by the waterfall (Wine Pavillion) and our 2 1/2 year old loved it. They got the real actors to do the voices and the costumes looked great. Really a nice little show.
