I don't know about you, but I'm going for the food(w/ pics!)Update-Wolfgang Puck Cafe

Okay minor change of plans- We will be dining at Liberty Tree Tavern on our MK day. DH saw the fried cheese while I was reading dining reports and insisted! Guess that's the price I pay for my obsession...:lmao: Anyway, I have looked at the menu here, and it's not really impressing me. Anyone have any suggestions or comments on the place?
 
Okay guys, only 4 more days til we are home! I am sooo excited. Plus we got a really great suprise today. Apparently DH's son will be in WDW while we are there. Sooo, (all fingers crossed) we might get to spend a little bit of time with him while we are down there. :banana::banana::banana::banana: (Can you tell I'm excited?) He didn't get to go with us last year, and I am very excited about getting to help him experience his first trip!
 
Found this one a little late but before the actual reviews! :goodvibes Hope you have a great trip!

And I have to say, your cat could be the twin to ours ... size, color and the way he is laying there! Ours is Tigger! :laughing:
 
Thanks for joining! That's crazy about the cats. Like long lost twins!:lmao:
 

So we're back. I'm kinda sad, but atleast I get to start planning for next year! Overall, we had great meals. Only one really bad one and two so-so. Otherwise great. I will start the reviews shortly, but here are the top 5 for each of us:

Okay- I should get atleast the first review up today- Yak and Yeti. Enjoy!

Up first- Yak and Yeti.

I have to admit that I was a little worried about this one. I heard so many mixed reviews on the place, but still wanted to try it. So I guess I didn't have high hopes going in, but it was great!

I have tried to take pictures of all of the menus. Some turned out, others didn't. I'll post what I can. And it seems that my pics ended up HUUUGE. But in the interest of getting started, here it goes...

Yak attack:
017.jpg

Mango Daiquiri, Bacardi Light rum, and wild berry flavors.
DH loved this. It was very sweet, too sweet for me. But like I said, he really enjoyed it.

Bonsai Blast:
015.jpg

Skyy vodka, DeKuyper Banana Liqueur, PeachTree Schnapps, Blue Curacao, and Sweet and Sour
I loved this. Kinda like a tropical margarita. The sour mix was a great compliment to the banana and peach.

Pork Pot Stickers:
018.jpg

With Soy Lime dipping sauce
DH thought these were pretty good. Not great, but good. I didn't try them as I don't like pot stickers

Lettuce Cups:
019.jpg

Minced chicken breast, Chopped Vegetables, Saigon Hoisin sauce, crisp lettuce cups.
I was a little worried when this came out. The chicken was a little more minced than I was thinking it would be, and I thought it kinda looked like cat food. But it was sooo good. The lettuce was super crisp, the meat was great, and the cilantro and carrots were great.

Duck with Anandapur Glaze:
021.jpg

Roasted half duckling, orange wasabi glaze, jasmine rice, and stirfried veggies.
DH was in heaven! This is the first time he has ever had duck, and he loved it! Cleaned the plate, even. He said the glaze was fabulous. There was a ramekin of it on the side of the plate, and he used it with the duck, the rice, and the veggies. The veggies were good, still really firm. We both hate mushy vegetables, so it was good.

Shaoxing Steak and Shrimp:
023.jpg

Skirt steak, tempura battered shrimp, jasmine rice, stirfried veggies, chili plum dipping sauce
I really liked this. I ordered it rare, knowing it was too thin to get that way. I just wanted it as rare as possible. It came out medium rare, which was great! The shrimp were good. Cooked just right. The veggies were still crisp, and the Jasmine rice was good, although I didn't eat much of it. I wanted to save room for dessert!

Okay, it seems our dessert pictures are missing. But I will try to explain them as best as possible:

Mango Pie:
Shortbread cookie crust, rasberry sauce and fresh whipped cream
Can you tell DH is a mango fan? He really liked this. It was sweet, but not too much

Fried Wantons:
skewers of fresh pineapple and cream cheese wontons with honey vanilla drizzle, served with vanilla ice cream
I liked these. The warm pineapple was great, and the wontons were good. The sauce was a little too sugary sweet for me, but otherwise they were great.

Great start! Yak & Yeti turned out to be our second favorite meal of our trip last September (second only to LeCellier) and, like your DH, my husband cleaned his plate of the duck! Can't wait for the rest of the reviews.
 
Enjoyed your first review - thanks for taking the time to do a dining report. Looking forward to more!! popcorn::
 
Welcome home!

We loved Yak & Yeti too, especially the drinks.

Cant wait for more, and the bigger the pictures the better to drool over!
