Kevin's Latest Restaurant Reviews

[dmccarty]

We just got back from WDW.

It was a great trip but on our first day our oldest DD got sick. We took it slow and still had fun. We had taken the kids to CG when they were younger but they could not really sit still for 2-3 hours but on this trip we figured they would enjoy the place and we had ADRs timed so we could see the fireworks. The oldest DD was so tired she slept through the show. Our youngest and I went out outside to watch and it was COLD. This was during the cold snap last week. BRRRRRRRR.

The food as usual at CG was excellent. Our only complaint is that that do not supply wheel chairs to roll us to our car. We were so stuffed it hurt to walk.

It was expensive but worth it.

Later in the week we went for the first time to Sanaa. VERY good and much cheaper but we left stuffed to the gills and needing wheel chairs again.

While we did overeat walking up to 10 miles a day allowed me to loose at least three pounds!

Friday the ick hit me while at EPCOT. By lunch time I headed back to the resort where I ate and crawled into bed. Without me being there the family went and ate at.....

The Coral Reef.

The DW and my parents did not know of the reviews of the Coral Reef.

The opinion? VERY expensive for the food you get. My dad is going to complain to WDW about how overpriced the meal is compared to what is on the plate.

I am sure Disney is looking to maximize profits and wants to see how much they can get away with but we are already reacting to their higher prices. We did NOT have that many ADRs this trip and we did not go to MNSSHP. Disney has overpriced MNSSHP. Its just not worth that kind of money.

Later,
Dan

But I have to let everyone in on the joke: EVERY restaurant that gets positive reviews will ALWAYS get some negative reviews. That's got to be frustrating for newbies to make a decision.Edit to add:

I just went to the Restaurant board, in the Food and Wine thread, and someone just posted this morning that they ate at Kouzzina last night and enjoyed it. I think that drives the point home to try the place for yourselves before making a decision to avoid it.

This can be said of alamost everything you purchase.

I was recently in the market for a new camera. I read every review I could get my hands on (good and bad) and then made my descion.

Something as simple as the bluetooth mouse from Apple causes folk to get all heated. It's the best mouse ever!!!! It's a piece of garbage!!!!

Reviews are opinions and for the most part entertainment.

I'm not a big fan of Harry Potter or the Twilight books. Goes to show what I know.

If anyone is being swayed one way or another by opinion....so be it. It's not like I'm trying to talk anyone out getting lifesaving medical attention.

LOL! But your opinion is gospel!

& because of your review I don't have to eat at Kouzzina . I am a picky eater at best. I checked out the menu and didn't think I would like anything there but was going to try if as my DH loves to go to new places. Well, I told him "Kevin said it wan't worth the money, so we really shouldn't try it" and he agreed. Seriously, I love your reviews, I don't always agree with them, but that is why there is chocolate and vanilla.
Thanks for the great entertainment. Penny

To be honest, I think Kevin's style for dining reviews is perfect for me. I would not want him to leave out the value as a part of the equation. In fact, other than a really good Pete-Rant, the Kevin reviews are my favorite thing on the podcast. Well, John's sense of humor is a highlight, and the shopping reviews by Julie are a plus, and.... Well, anyway, Kevin, keep up the great work.
