Wolfgang Puck Café, October 3rd

For our first night in the World, we dined at Wolfgang Puck Café. We had lunch there a few times, and have eaten in the dining room, but this time I thought we would have dinner at the Café. We were seated early in a room that used to be a patio. The air conditioning was running the whole time and it was freezing. I mentioned it to the waiter, who’s name I cannot remember, but it doesn’t matter because he wasn’t that great any how. The air remained freezing cold for the entire meal. Though the alternative was in the main dining room and it was extremely loud when I went in to use the restroom.

The bread basket included focaccia bread, but it was dry and seemed like it was sitting out uncovered most of the day. My parents ordered salads and they were good. DM’s mixed field greens salad included a crostini with goat cheese. The crostini was stale, not soft in the middle and toasted on the outside like toast should be. It was dehydrated and like ready to be made into stuffing. The spinach salad DF ordered was executed better. They ordered the rigatoni Bolognese and it was okay tasting, not incredible, not terrible, but about average. The portion was large enough though to not feel cheated.

I had the BBQ chicken pizza, which was spicy from the chili oil and the perfect size. It was not overloaded and soggy from the toppings. The crust was chewy, but also toasted and crispy-just right. To top the night off we split a piece of key lime pie-it was fabulous and made up for the so-so pasta dish.

Overall the dinner was just average and we are looking for great. I cannot say I would return to dinner at WPC, but maybe lunch when it is not so crowded. Our server seemed pretty overloaded with tables too.

I'm in, can't wait for the rest!

 

[Robert P]

Thank you for the review. We feel that WP food has declined in recent years, but more noticeably in the area of service. Too many better places to dine nearby. ITA, we might go again maybe for a lunch meal, but won't waste a dinner opportunity there in the near future.

Artist Point, October 5th

I made an earlier dinner reservation for Monday AT 6:00 leaving time to get to the MK for Spectromagic, but we were plum tuckered out by the time dinner was over. We drove over to the Wilderness Lodge a little early to check out the shop and soak up a bit of the atmosphere. I checked us in and we were seated in a nearly empty dining room right next to another party of diners a few minutes later. I do not understand why they cram people right together when the place is a ghost town, considering we had a different server.

Several minutes later Scott greeted us and he seemed apprehensive. Perhaps my family is scary, I don’t know-we are nice people really. Scott brought back the wine and the house bread and butter. My DF went with the spinach salad (which I had too), which was way underdressed, but a large portion that I could not finish. It was topped with bacon pieces, chopped hard boiled egg, picked onions, radish and supposedly a mustard vinaigrette. DM chose the mixed green salad with candied hazelnuts, pears, cheddar and champagne vinaigrette. I preferred her salad over mine in the end. Luckily, I was able to score a few more bites.

DM, the filet hound, ordered the beef tenderloin with blue cheese fritter, roasted fingerling potatoes and wine reduction sauce. First off, it was no where near cooked to medium, but raw inside. It took forever till we could get a food runner’s attention to take it back. Scott finally came over to check on the meals and realized there was one missing. When it finally arrived, more cooked to say the least, it was not a good tasting piece of meat-bad cow. As if it was not bad enough they doused it with liquid smoke to top it off. The potatoes tasted good, but she preferred the sweet potato hazelnut gratin ordered on the side.

The buffalo strip loin was served with asparagus, roasted yellow beets, onion marmalade, and this heavenly goat cheese polenta (like they serve at the California Grill with the pork tenderloin.) I do not favor the buffalo over beef, but it is good substitute for something meaty when you want to cut back on your cholesterol intake.

My father picked his favorite, the salmon, which I hindered on ordering. This time it was served with a potato dumpling, which tasted to me like spaetzle, brocolini and a balsamic vinaigrette. I thought the accompaniments were pretty weak and normally the salmon is paired with roasted potatoes. He enjoyed the dish nonetheless.

For dessert, I went with the house specialty berry cobbler. It was excellent as usual. My mother on the other hand ordered the chocolate cheesecake, but when the food runner arrived she had a goat cheese tart. She threw it down in front of my mom and took off. DM had that "what just happened here?" look. Again we had to try to get Scott’s attention and were not successful for several minutes. The dessert finally arrived correctly.

Cobbler, goat cheese not actually ordered

I can allow one serving mistake, but two to one person, come on now. The menus are not that large. I am a chef and I know meat cookery is a great skill, but you have to be spot on if you do not want to lose your shirt sending out multiple steaks. The food runner should have not taken off so quick- that was pretty rotten. By the time her dishes came, my dad and I were about done with our meals. This was definitely a dining disappointment. I thought maybe the manager would come over, but no, no where to be found when we were leaving. I did not want any kind of compensation, which is why many people complain, but I would have told him what a mediocre experience we had. I will have to think twice about adding Artist Point to my adrs next year.

Mama Melrose lunch, October 6th

We grabbed a quick breakfast at Captain Cook’s this morning. My family prefers to eat at a sit down place for breakfast, but having a lunch adr I wanted to be sure we had an appetite. At 12:05 PM we had our lunch reservation for Mama Melrose’s. The place opens at 12:00 PM so there was a little bit of a wait till they began to seat tables. I enjoy looking at the pictures of movie stars on the walls that are like 20 years old.

I kind of like the décor in here-there are many items I have not yet seen even though we tend to be seated in the same area year to year. It is dark with large windows in the front of the building providing some natural lighting. There are bunches of grapes hanging from the ceiling and movie posters about the walls. The host led us to our table and shortly after that Holly from Pittsburgh greeted us. She was full of energy and very fun. Although she looked pretty bummed out that I was too full for my birthday dessert.

The three of us ordered appetizers and flatbreads for lunch to share. DF went with the antipasti platter for two, which was new to the menu. There were several large slices of provolone, gorgonzola, mortadella, salami along with roasted red peppers and artichokes. We were about halfway through eating it when I realized I did not take the picture, sorry! We also split a Caesar salad with a tasty, creamy yet not overpowering anchovy dressing with crispy romaine. DM had the mixed green salad to start. The vine ripened tomato flatbread is topped with sliced tomatoes, spicy pesto and creamy goat cheese. The grilled pepperoni flatbread had think sliced pepperoni, grilled onions, peppers, and a cheese blend with a light tomato sauce. They are just right for me, not to much sauce, cheese or toppings. They are baked in a wood oven to give it a crisp and smoky taste.

I know Mama Melrose’s gets a number of mixed reviews, mainly bad ones from what I have seen. However, we have eaten lunch here every year for about 5 years now and never had bad food or service. You can certainly get better Italian food outside the world, but while we are here Mama’s is always a must do for us.

Tony’s Town Square, October 6th

So we were eating at Tony’s Town Square before the party at 5:00PM. I originally planned on getting an adr for the Plaza, but it was booked till about 7:00 PM on this evening due to the party. So we ate at two Italian places- most of the time I cannot get enough Italian food! Tony’s is another one of those hit or miss places, heavy on the miss. Our server, Ed, guided us to my decorated birthday table complete with confetti and streamers. It was about half full in the main dining room and only a few tables were occupied in the atrium area where we were seated.

Ed was going for the gold this evening. He was extremely friendly and helpful with the meal selections. We kept it simple and ordered some mixed green salads and I went with the garlic cheese toast. It was a crusty toasted loaf with melted bubbly mozzarella cheese topped with chopped tomatoes, garlic and basil. It must be a newer item on the menu and I hope they continue to serve it.

A round a spaghetti and sausages for our entrees arrived and Ed returned to grate some parmesan cheese. It wasn’t the best tasting sauce, a little bitter, but full and robust at least. The pasta was cooked perfectly and the sausages were tasty. The spumoni for dessert was complete with a lighted candle for my birthday celebration. Ed proceeded to dump a pile of Mickey head confetti in my hair, but it was all in good fun!

(Damn my hair looked good)

The appetizer, salads and dessert were pretty darn good. The sauce was a little sour, but edible. Ed was a great server and made sure our drinks were full and were happy with our meals. I will probably consider returning for dinner before the MNSSHP next year because of its convenience and quality of food and service, but perhaps try a different entrée. We were done eating around 6:00 PM and it was time for the party!

[MickeyNicki]

Loving your reviews and cannot wait for Jiko and Citricos as we are celebrating our wedding anniversary at both next month. Never been to Citricos and it has been a year since we have gone to Jiko

Yachtsman Steakhouse, October 7th

This happens to be another favorite of ours along with Citricos. We have dined here for the past three years and have always experienced great food and great service. There were some conventions going on, so many people were trying to get in for dinner. I was given a pager and I snagged a seat that peered into the glass walled aging room to watch a chef fabricate some lamb chops. The dining was crowded when we arrived, but nonetheless we were seated with in 5 minutes of our adr time.

Our table was located in a small room off the left side of the main dining room. It is considerably brighter than the rest of the dining area and has partial walls peeking into the kitchen line. There are also only four tables in the area, which cut down on the noise factor. Pam of Orlando came over to greet us and take our drink orders. My parents selected a bottle of wine and I had a tall frosty Coca Cola. She returned and talked to us about the restaurants signature dishes and her favorites from the menu.

Pam came back with the wine along with a basket of onion bread and some crusty sourdough rolls. The butter is topped with infused sea salt and olive oil and balsamic vinegar. There was also some roasted garlic to smear over your bread if you choose.

Hey one of those guys is making a run for it!


We ordered our appetizers, but I was disappointed they removed the chilled seafood salad and replaced it with a shrimp cocktail, which I did end up ordering. The shrimp were perfectly cooked and chilled, served with traditional cocktail sauce, lightly dressed watercress and lemon wedges.

DM had the salad with pears, prosciutto, mache, champagne vinaigrette and balsamic drizzle. My father went with yet another cheese selection which included four cheeses and accompaniments-I am making him get his cholesterol checked real soon! They both enjoyed their selections.

I do not normally order a filet mignon because I prefer the taste of a ribeye or fattier cut of meat. However I did not feel like ordering a 20 oz. or 24 oz. steak. I have had the N.Y strip here before and found it not incredibly flavorful or tender. So mother and I selected the filet served with mashed potatoes, wine reduction and the house sautéed spinach and onions. DF went with the N.Y. strip (served with a cheddar potato gratin and peppercorn brandy sauce) even after I warned him about the toughness he may experience. It was a bit tougher than most cuts, but he enjoyed it overall. The filets were very tender and flavorful, much better than tenderloin from the old milk cow Bessie they served her at Artist Point.

My birthday dessert provided by Pam! The YSH always have great desserts, so I always leave a little extra room for some after dinner treats. I selected a take on a caramelized banana Napoleon with white chocolate mousse and chocolate. It was excellent, bananas and chocolate with crispy layers of puff pastry, how does that not sound good. DM tried the creme brulee with berries, which she enjoyed very much.

Overall, we all love the Yachtsman Steakhouse. Great food and very attentive service really make it shine. YSH will definitely be on the adr list for next year.

Il Mulino, Swan Resort, October 8th

We first started coming to this restaurant right after it opened. Last year, we had a larger party and found the food to be okay. This year it was definitely better. The place was dead at first, but a few more parties began to show up as our meal progressed. Luigi was a robust fellow with lots of energy. He and two other servers hovered around us picking up plates and delivering entrees all night. He went for the wine and another fellow dropped off some spicy focaccia and crusty Italian bread along with the baked eggplant and house made salumi to munch on.

The restaurant itself is beautiful with dark woods and dark orange and deep yellow lighting. There are wooden floors and sleek table settings. A wall with a checker board pattern of glass windows sits in front of the open kitchen line. This is a lively night spot when there a number of conventions in town.

For appetizers I selected the polpetti, which they described as a veal meatball served with traditional sauce and cheese. There were three large meatballs with sprinkled with cheese. They tasted like pure meat, lacking some herbs and I filler that I normally prefer. DF had the insalata caprese salad with mozzarella, sliced tomatoes with sundried tomatoes, fresh basil and fresh cracked pepper. DM went with the house salad. A large, but homely salad-it tasted good, but needed a little love in its preparation.

Polpetti

My entrée was the veal saltimbocca. I did not want a real heavy saucy dish this evening, so this was a good alternative. The veal was tender, salty and flavorful from the sage and prosciutto. It was finished with a white wine sauce, herbs and served with sautéed spinach. The portion was quite large with three pieces of scaloppini on the plate. DM chose the lunch size version of carbonara, which she found a little drier than most versions, but the rednered pancetta added a lot of flavor. The portion was still too big for her to even dent. DF picked the cannelloni, which are stuffed rolls of pasta filled with a ground meat & spinach topped with light tomato cream sauce. Again this was a large portion and this dish is particularly filling-I think he managed to eat one whole one.

For dessert Luigi served my tartuffo with a lighted candle! It was not the best tartuffo, it was filled with a vanilla gelato and the chocolate shell was more of a milk chocolate than dark, but it was good. DM went for the flourless chocolate cake, which was very intense with flavor. After dinner they bring over your complementary limoncello for a digestif-it tastes like lemon cough syrup and is really strong.

We had a great experience this meal and enjoyed our dishes. The prices are more expensive than most other restaurants, but the portions are huge! Three meatballs for an appetizer, I was expecting one little meatball on a plate. The cannelloni were monsters and the pasta dish was hearty too. You could easily split and entrée here after eating an appetizer. I feel pretty positive that it will be on the adr list next year.

Teppan Edo, October 9th

This was our first visit to Teppan Edo and found to be a little wild and crazy. The check in area was full of people and hard to maneuver through. We were seated about 5 minutes after our adr time, which I felt was good considering the place was packed. We were seated with a large 6 people family from IL. The hostess led us through the main dining room to the back near the bathrooms and she had us wait. It was a bit odd, but there were a few smaller rooms in the back with two or three tables. We were all seated and Izumi introduced herself to us and from what I could understand she was our server and talked about the service and tradition.

Some wall paintings…

She brought our drinks and took our appetizer and dinner orders. I took a few pictures while waiting. None of us are very fond of sushi, but I helped DF work through his sampler of tuna, yellowtail, shrimp nigiri and California roll. The tuna was by far my favorite. Izumi suggested bringing all salad dressings for me to try, I liked the oriental, but the creamy sesame was the best.

Salad with oriental and ginger dressing

Sushi sampler-what a beautiful dish-you almost do not want to eat it

Shortly after we had our salads and DF his sushi sampler, the teppanyaki chef arrived. He introduced himself and oil the grill and tossed on the veggies, meat, and seafood to cook. If I do not write it down I forget the name- I want to say Mawa or something to that effect. He made a sweet onion volcano-it was quite a crowd pleaser. We frequent a Japanese steakhouse near our home and it is not as formal or traditional as Teppan Edo. I thought the noodles and veggies tossed together were okay-I would have preferred the veggies and noodles separate.

Some of the food was little bland, like he did not season and toss all of the veggies together enough. The meat could have been seasoned more as well. I also like fried rice over steamed rice as well. My father wants to return, but mom and I are on the fence about next year. It was a bit different than what we are used to, but in the end it was fun.

Jiko, October 10th

Okay-so today is my actual birthday

We arrived at the Animal Kingdom Lodge and self parked our car. The place from the outside looks really cool. The lobby is as impressive as the Wilderness Lodge. They acknowledged my birthday and I received a card wishing me a happy one!

I enjoy the design and atmosphere of Jiko, the darker ceiling, the “bird” lights, the wooden tables etc. This time we were seated in the back, where it is considerably more lighted. The mood lighting changed throughout the night, which freaked me out at first, but then I realized it was on purpose. The menu is larger with a great selection of starters and entrees. The menu changed up a bit this year from last. The maize crusted halibut is still there, a very good dish. Also the filet with mac and cheese was still a highlight.

Fly, fly, fly away little birdies

Eduardo finally came over to the table after several minutes. He seemed to be busy with his other tables. He explained the menu and Jiko signatures. We decided over our choices while he went for the wine. I decided to totally pig out for my birthday. For my first course I picked the Savannah rolls, which were a new edition to the menu. They were phyllo wrapped sweet corn and spinach spring rolls with a tasty vinaigrette and frisee salad. Honestly they were a bit bland as I expecting more heat and spice. The presentation was lovely and the portion large enough to share, but it did not wow me. DF had the cheese platter. It included a five cheese selection of cow, goat and sheep’s cheeses with accompaniments. Most were good, but one of them we just felt was bad. It tasted like goat cheese, yogurt and sour creamy, but almost rancid tasting. DM went with the summer salad with peaches, edible flowers, and champagne vinaigrette. It was also a large portion and quite tasty. I also ordered the BLT salad, which was just so-so. The tomato was over ripe and mushy, but the bacon and dressing were delicious.

Hey! There are flowers in my salad, what gives?

Some very fine swine


For entrees, I went for the new braised beef short rib with roasted potatoes and house made barbeque sauce. It was very rich and had a great developed flavor. The meat was tender and moist. DM had the filet (again!) with mac and cheese, which she enjoyed. DF had the grilled swordfish with asparagus and liked it.

I thought I was totally full, but still had room for the pistachio crème brulee Eduardo brought over. My mother went for the apple tart tatin, kind of a small portion, but a lovely taste.

I was not blown away like I was last year, but I will definitely return next year to dine. Maybe I was a bit critical, but my first two courses were so-so. My first impression last year was chaotic. Why they ever planned on having the buffet restaurant across from a quite upcscale spot is beyond me. It makes sense for food storage and preparation, but the noise and crowds from Boma are overpowering. When I go to a restaurant like Jiko, I do not want to fight through a crowd of people with their bathing suits on or hauling dirty laundry in the elevator. I feel Citricos, Narcoossee’s and California Grill were properly placed on their resort properties.

Chef’s De France, October 11th

This has always been a favorite of mine and last year we skipped out on it to attend Party for the Senses. While that was really fun, it was loud, no tables and dark blah, blah, blah. Needless to say, I was excited to go back. We have always had great food. Service has been a miss from time to time, but overall good experiences. The hostess was not the most friendly person I have encountered, probably not a good choice for the front door. (just saying!)

We were seated in the back room right next to the dessert plating area. It was funny to watch the chefs- a female seemed to be doing most of the plating and preparing, while the younger gentleman was busy torching orders of crème brulee and jabbering all night.

Thomas, from Paris, was our server for the evening and it was his first month on the job. He was nervous, but managed to go through the house favorites and features. He brought over the wine and beverages and took our order for the evening. Meanwhile, Thomas brought over some French rolls with butter. I chose the baked goat cheese salad. It has breaded baked goat cheese, walnuts, endive, arugula, and it was supposed to have grapes, but I received one grape-more would have been nice with the goat cheese. My father’s cheese platter included Form D’Ambert and three other cheeses. They portions were large, but he did not push himself to finish them. For about $10.00, it is a great platter to share. DM went with the house salad with vinaigrette, no blue cheese-yawn.

See him(grape)! He is hiding beneath the frisee!

We had just finished our appetizers when the entrees arrived. The portions are large and absolutely filled the entire plate. The plates were piping hot, but they did continue to cook our duck unfortunately. I preferred the duck with the spicy honey sauce, this year it was richer and meatier tasting. The leg confit was delicious and tender. DF traded sides with DM-sweet potatoes for cheesy gratin served along side the grilled filet. All dishes were served with buttery haricots verts-French green beans.

Thomas was shaky-sauce spilled a little

For dessert I opted for the strawberry gelato-it was three big scoops served with whipped cream, fresh berries and a palmier. DM went with the Crème brulee from the mad scientist at the dessert counter.

Remy?

One of his arms must be longer than the other

The food was hot and delicious, a perfect ending to our last evening in WDW. Thomas provided great service and told us about his experiences in France. He said as a server you basically only deliver the food and remove plates and here the service is more involved. I thought that was pretty interesting. We really enjoyed our return visit to Le Chefs De France and it will probably secure a spot for dinner for next year’s trip.

Grand Floridian Café breakfast, October 8th

We normally grab breakfast at the Kona Café each morning, but sometimes we feel like something a little different. So just a short monorail ride over we traveled to the Grand Flordian Café for breakfast. The menus between the two are pretty similar, but they both offer different egg benedict dishes and a few other specialties. We decided to stick to the basics so DF and I ordered the Western omelet, which had sautéed ham, peppers and onions. DM went with two eggs and toast and all dishes were served with GFC southern style hash browns. The meal was good, nothing extra special, but a nice change of scenery and atmosphere from the Kona Café.

Some southern comfort

Kona Café- Breakfast

We enjoy eating at Kona Café for breakfast many days on our trip so this review is a combination of many (great) meals had there during our stay. It worked out pretty well if we arrived by 8:00 AM, we would be finished eating and checked out by 8:30 AM or so and head to the parks for rope drop.

I am always trying to figure out the dealio with the seating. They always make you wait to be seated even though the restaurant is empty, this must drive a lot of people bananas. I am sure they have a reason or a program for it, so if someone knows give me a shout out.

The breakfast meats in WDW are kind of lacking-the bacon and sausage are odd, just a complaint

Mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm…toasty

Blueberry hotcakes, well I call them pancakes

Ooh these are darn good-macadamia nut pineapple pancakes

Fruit plate or Carmen Miranda left her hat behind

One of those unadvertised secret menu items, oatmeal

The only problem at the Kona is the fighting your way through the Ohana crowds and the noise can be a little overbearing from the open design. Overall it is a nice atmosphere and exciting to watch the monorail zoom by.

The Plaza

I love eating here. It is bright and airy and with its smaller size you feel kind of sheltered from the noise and crowds of Main Street. We make a lunch stop here every trip, mainly because the sandwiches are delicious and I cannot resist a giant chocolate milkshake made with milk and ice cream; compared to the soft serve in a cup most places try to pass on as a milkshake. Yes, the food is simple and straight forward. You do not need to eat off a tray or out of a paper container. I only have one picture from this trip, sorry we were hungry and started to eat before I could get some snapshots. Wei was our server and provided us with fast and friendly service.

This puppy is filling-that is white America cheese, but it is almost like a sauce-yum

 

[wdwthanksgiving]

really enjoyed your reviews and pictures! so informative - great job!
i notice that you did not include a review of citricos - did you eat there as well?

thanks so much for taking the time for this great review-

Citricos, October 4th

On Sunday, we dined at our absolute favorite restaurant Citricos. It was a short monorail ride over to the Grand Floridian from the Polynesian. Our expectations were high as we have never had an average meal or bad service here. The menu changed just slightly from the last year. We arrived a bit early and were asked to wait, but still were seated early. It was not overly crowded at the time, yet there was a steady crowd all night.

Tammy greeted us and she was helpful and friendly throughout the night. She gave us some time to choose a wine and brought some bread and butter with scented sea salt to the table. I went with the ice cold Coca Cola since I do not drink wine.

For starters I opted for my favorite Crab Gateau. It is crab and cheese folded together and warmed in the oven, topped with a creamy orange fennel sauce and tomatoes. Seafood and cheese are not typical companions in the food world, but this appetizer is heavenly.

DF went for the cheese plate and DM the goat cheese truffle salad. The threecheeses were given in decent portions with raisins on the vine and other accompaniments. The goat cheese balls are shaped to look like truffles and coated with sesame seeds, dried tomato and cracked pepper. The goat cheese is served atop frisee, thick sliced bacon and peaches.

I chose the veal shank with carrot potato puree for dinner. Even though it was 90 degrees outside, I still felt like something comforting and cozy to eat. It was tender and the sauce oh so rich. They even provided a fork to scoop out the bone marrow, but I did not go for it. I know it is tasty, but the mouth feel freaks me out.

DM had the filet jardinière with the peppadews & onions on the side. It was by far the best tasting & tender filet she had this trip. DF had the black grouper which he really enjoyed.

I felt a bit different and decided to stay away from chocolate this evening for dessert and went with the gelato sampler. I love my chocolate, but later at night it could keep me buzzing from the caffeine. There were three gelatos-cappuccino, toasted almond and raspberry. The flavors were intense and delicious. DM went with a liquor soaked angel food cake.

We never felt rushed to order nor did the entrees arrive before we finished our appetizers and salads. I prefer Citricos over the California Grill any night. It is more peaceful and relaxing. The staff is also more attentive and focused on you as an individual.
