KnJ's Feasting w/ Pics

[KnJ]

On with the food

DH started with the cheese plate: He said it was a good variety and very flavorful

I had the French Onion Soup: I almost finished the whole bowl!!! I loved it!! The only thing holding it back from a score of 5 figments was that it was way too hot and I burnt my tongue.

DH had the shrimp and scallops: Said it was wonderful, but not worthy of 5 figments

I had the pork chop: So, I entered the restaurant thinking was going to get the chicken, but after talking to our very close neighbors sitting next to us and eyeing their food, I decided to try the pork chop. Actually the entrees that DH and I both ordered, were something that our neighbors were eating, kinda odd, maybe our tables were a little too close. Back to the review, I am so glad I ordered it! The flavor of the mushroom sauce was perfect for not only the porkchop but also the noodles!!

up next desserts....

 

[KnJ]

last but not least the desserts:

DH had the chocolate tart for dessert: All he said was nothing special, but good

I had the creme brulee: Once again, it was nothing special, just ok actually, I have had tons better.

will we return: Definately!!!
will we recommend: Yes!!

 

[KnJ]

How about some CS!!!!!

First up is Liberty Inn, which deserves some backround.

During all of our previous trips DH and I vowed never to eat at Liberty Inn because there are so many wonderful and unique CS locations at EPCOT, and thought that only those that should eat there are those with kids who are picky or those that are just picky in general. Well, one day I had the craving for chicken tenders and new that no other CS (even Sunshine Seasons) could satisfy that craving. So, I turned my eyes towards Liberty Inn. I became that person I never vowed I would be. But, my craving was fullfilled.

Chicken tenders: Honestly, nothing special, except for satisfying a craving, oh but did get a Mickey shaped crispy treat for dessert

Return: Honestly, only if I am craving a burger or chicken tenders and I am in Epcot
recommend: only if you are craving a burger or chicken tenders and are in Epcot

This was our second trip the restaurant and were looking forward to it. When we walked up we were shocked by how many walk ups or how far behind they were. It took us about 7 minutes to get up to the podium to check in

Wait time to be seated: I know an ADR is not a guarantee of a time to be sat, I always expect to wait some, but we waited about 25 minutes and this was after the line of checking in

Atmosphere: love the idea and very beautiful, just too crowded. We were so close to the table next to us, we had some wonderful conversations. They were wondering why we were taking pictures of our food, so we had to explain to them about the disboards. then we asked them about their entrees. So, Chefs gets extra points for the ambiance, but loses some for being so cramped

Service: Honestly, I don't remember our server, so nothing special, but nothing bad, met expectations

Drink
Some type of beer: Really don't remember it either, so must not have been bad, or really good

Next post will be the food

My boyfriend got this beer. I believe it to be one of his faves from World Showcase.

 

[KnJ]

I love Sunshine Seasons. So many choices.

I selected the rotisserie half chicken: I thought it was very good, better than I expected. For my sides I selected rice and rice (remember I am picky) there we other items someone can get such as carrots or mashed potatoes

For dessert I had the chocolate asian cake, honestly I cannot rate it because I did not like it. But I know others out there love it, it had a weird spice taste to it, but it still looks good

return: I will return, the variety is endless, and did I mention they sell smirnoff ice

recommend:Yes, like I said the variety is endless, and large seating area.

 

[KnJ]

I went here because I was craving some teriyaki chicken. I knew the place had little seating, but it was still empty

Teriyaki Chicken: honestly it was just too sweet even for my tastes.

return: maybe, i have had the sushi rolls before and they were also just ok. But I am almost sure it will be calling my name again in the future

recommend Honestly, don't expect too much, it is just ok, so don't be disappointed.

 

[KnJ]

May as well do some more beverage pics.

First up:

Bass from UK walk up: according to DH the only beer from the worldshowcase that deserves 5 Figments is the Spaten Optimater from Germany, and the darker the better. He said it was good, but not as good as a Spaten

Then there is the Spaten: This is the beer that DH compares all other beers to. Notice the giant smile on his face

I never had a drink in Morrocco. Yours looked yummy, I think I will be heading there next trip.

 

[KnJ]

We were staying at the Beach Club and heard so many wonderful things about Beaches and Cream we thought we would try it out.

Wait Time: we had to wait about 5 minutes just for them to wipe part of the bar, what we expected

Atmoshpere: I did not realize how small this place is! It is tiny!! But, we love the soda shop theme

Service: it took forever for someone to come and ask us what we wanted to drink and eat, they dropped off the sundaes and then the bill, kinda disappointing. But, it seemed there were only two servers for the packed restaurant

Food:
We only did dessert. The sundaes are large enough for two people to share, but we wanted to try two different ones, we were unable to finish off either sundae, but they were wonderful

DH had the No Way Jose: It is chocolate and peanutbutter heaven.

I had the fudge mud slide: I hate to say this, but it was almost too rich, but it was still very yummy.

return: Yes definately!!!!
recommend: Yes, the sundaes were wonderful, if it is too busy to sit there is a walk up window, but these sundaes cannot be purchased there.

Great reviews and pictures!

I have always spent my EPCOT worldshowcase days drinking the margaritas from Mexico. I never even turned my head towards another stand, gotta have my margarita. Well, I finally opened my eyes and discovered my new favorite world showcase drink, The Habibi Daquari from Morrocco stand. It is just a strawberry daquari with rum and a dash of orange blossom water. Even better news is that it is about $1.50 (estimate) cheaper than the margaritas!!

overall rating:

Well, this needs repeating!!

GREAT tip!! I'll be all over it soon!!

and dh totally agrees about the German beer!

 

[Schucraig]

Great reviews and pictures! I can't wait for more!

 

[SereneOne]

Great reviews and pics! You two are a very cute couple.

How about Le Cellier!!!!! It is one of our favorites, but we had a few odd experiences this time.

Wait time: we waited about 20 minutes to be seated, which is what we have read and expected. On the stand there was a dry erase board with the question of how many provinces and territories are there in Canada, and then can you name them. Then it said to check your answer with a CM. DH and I thought it would be fun to name them to pass the time. Well, we had our list ready and asked the CM at the desk, and she didn't even know how many provinces or territories there are, she did go ask someone to find out the answer. The weird part is that when she sat us, she explained that the restaurant is divided into different provinces and then told us which one we were sitting in and gave us a fun fact on it?!?

Service: she was ok, nothing special, but good

Atmosphere: It was actually somewhat quiet. We love the cellar idea and look, with the lights that look like melted candles.

Drinks

Torontotini: It was very yummy but almost too strong, I couldn't finish it

 

[KnJ]

On with the food:

Bread: I love bread!!!!

Cheddar cheese soup: we both had it and loved it!!! It is a must for both of us each time

7oz Filet: We both had the filet as well, they were cooked to perfection ( mine was medium, DH was medium rare)

Chocolate Moose: I always order the chocolate moose, but I still miss when it was larger and it had the chocolate chip cookie underneath it, but I will still order it and think about how it used to be (hence only three figments)

Shortcake: DH never commented on it, so I am guessing it is just good so I will leave it at three until he tells me to change it. The server actually brought him the wrong dessert at first then went back and fixed it. She even had the order messed up at the table next to us, never had anytype of problem like that at WDW before

 

[KnJ]

I knew I was missing something

return: Definately, it is a must for us
Recommend: Yes!!!!

Really enjoying your reviews!

Both of the following beverages came from a stand outside of Chefs de France

First up:
Grand Marnier Orange Slush: First time I had this beverage, and it is wonderful!!!! The only problem is that they fill the glass too full so it tends to spill out. So, if you get one, take a big gulp to avoid spilling

Grey Goose Citron Lemonade: This was also a first and loved it!!! once again too full, but not really a problem

Had a situation that could have been bad, but Coral Reef took care of us

We showed up 15 minutes early for what we thought was our ADR time. Well, they could not find us in the computer, so I pull out our confirmation number, then they found it, it was for one hour earlier than what we had I had heard horror stories about people not getting in when this happens, but the gentleman at the desk was very apologetic (even though it was not his fault) and says that he will get us sat in 15-20 minutes. Well 25 minutes passes, so DH goes to the desk to find out how much longer, I can see they are talking for a bit and he comes back and does not say anything. About 5 more minutes passes, and we get to go to our table, and it is next to the aquarium When my husband was talking to them to find out how much longer, they apologized again for the mix up and said they had a wonderful table almost ready for us!!!! I was very thankful about how accomadating they were and making the effort to get us a wonderful table!! Moral of the story is double check your ADR times!!!

Here is DH and the table:

now on to the ratings:

Wait time: will not rate due to above posting

Service: Of course due to the way were we treated with our seating definately helps out the score. Our server had a huge party plus us. He did as good as any server could fitting the needs of the giant party plus us.

atmosphere: How could someone not love the aquarium. However, just a tad bit noisy.

Drinks:

I had the Octopus Juice: WOW!!! it is yummy!!

DH had the Reef Runner: very yummy, just not as good as the octopus juice
