Your meal at The Plaza looks great!

 

[Linda67]

I agree the Plaza meal looks great - the sandwiches looked really tasty
Is it just a straightforward meal - no characters ?

The sandwiches at The Plaza are very good. Yes, it is just a straight meal, no characters.

At some point during the day, DS wanted a turkey leg

We had tried one several years ago and it was a greasy mess! I have to admit that this one was pretty tasty!

Dinner was at Cinderella’s Royal Table. We went in not expecting much, I just really wanted to eat in the Castle. Plus we knew we would be stuck in mass crowds and wanted a place to escape for a bit.

Dinner started with nice crusty rolls with butter

DH and DS both had the soup of the day – I cannot for the life of me remember what it was! Maybe New England Clam Chowder? I will ask them tonight and update

I had the BLT Salad – applewood smoked bacon, tomato, egg, red onion and a wedge of iceberg lettuce drizzled with roasted shallot vinaigrette

This was somewhat hard to eat but very tasty!

For entrees, DH had roasted Lamb Chops with gratin potatoes, vegetable ragout and drizzled with herb pesto.

This surprised me because DH doesn’t generally eat lamb. He said he just wanted something different and that it was fine.

DS had the Vegetarian Pasta – spiral cavatapi pasta, roasted tomatoes, crimini mushrooms, spinach, roasted garlic and fresh basil

He would have preferred this with less tomato and more mushroom and spinach. This was not his favorite for sure. He ended up just picking at the pasta.

I once again had pork - the Pork Chop with bacon, mushroom ragout and red bliss mashed potatoes finished with sweet chipotle glaze

This was tasty but probably my least favorite of the three pork dishes I had thus far. Not bad, just not as good as the other two dishes.

For dessert, DS had the crème brulee of the day which was eggnog

Creme brulee is one of his favorites and he really enjoyed this one.

DH had the Chocolate-Cream Cheese Buckle – a single layer of chocolate cake stuffed with cream cheese topped with crème Chantilly and finished with crème anglaise sauce

This was very good! But not as good as the Chocolate Slipper that I had pre-ordered!

This was truly delicious! The strawberries dipped in the mousse were wonderful! I didn’t have much of the actual ‘shoe’ but DS loved it. Well worth the extra $15!

All in all, we enjoyed our meal here more than we had expected to. The show with Fairly Godmother and the mice was cute. She recognized us for our anniversary. We had a table overlooking the carousel which was nice. But at $179.xx it is way overpriced. Having deluxe dining, it didn’t matter of course. But I don’t think I would even consider paying that much out of pocket for this meal. Food was good but no where near the quality of the signature restaurants.

I have to try Il Mulino (after reading MickeyNicki food report and yours makes it a must place to eat) and Artist Point (I have an ADR for Flying Fish on our May trip and my husband said why are we going back b/c a few years ago we went and he really wasn't happy. I told him give it another chance since it was 4 yrs ago but I hate to try it again and him tell me I told you so...I'm going to cancel Flying Fish and book Artist Point)...thanks for the report again.

THANK YOU! Based on this trip, I would definitely pick AP over FF. Il Mulino is a definite must!

Joining in and enjoying your review very much! We (well me) are starting to think about our next trip in a year and I would so love to try some of the signature restaurants but I'm not sure our kids are "seasoned" enough yet. Maybe I'll try one and see how it goes.

 

[disney_princess_85]

Your chocolate slipper looks lovely!

I had the vegetarian entrée at CRT and I was pretty underwhelmed too. I loved the chocolate and cream cheese buckle though!

 

[mommykds]

Love reading your reviews.

Definitely give one a try! I think Jiko and Cali Grille are "louder" than Artist Point or Citricos so they may be a good choice.

It was delicious! DS was definitely underwhelmed! He was right when he said that he could have made something better at home!

Love reading your reviews.

Thank you! Two more days plus a breakfast to go! I plan to finish up this weekend!

I wish they made more of an effort to make the food at CRT better! I guess you really can't beat the atmosphere, though.

 

[MiNniEDrEameR]

Just joined in the party!!! Bring on more food porn !

Agreed! And it is really rushed, at least at dinner. They want you in and out!

Thanks for reading! Will post New Year's Eve tomorrow!

 

[GoofySon'sMom]

New Year’s Eve day started out with snacks for breakfast. One of these

And a cinnamon sugar pretzel

Both were very good!

I had booked lunch at Chefs de France mainly to see Remy. I almost cancelled when I found out we had to eat off the dinner menu. I ended up very glad that I didn’t. Our server, Ludovic, was great and our meal was a pleasant surprise!

We started out with the yummy crusty rolls.

Warm rolls with cold butter. I could have eaten many of these, but limited myself to only one.

DS started with Soupe a l'oignon gratinee - the classic onion soup topped with Gruyere cheese

DH had the Assiette de fromages de France - French imported cheese plate

And I had Salade au bleu - romaine hearts, blue cheese dressing, bacon, walnuts, croutons

All were very good, especially my salad. Lots of bacon and crispy croutons.

While enjoying our appetizers, this guy came out!

Is it sad to say that he was one of the highlights of our trip? Oh my gosh, I loved him!

For entrees, DS and I both had Plat de Cote de Boeuf au Cabarnet avec pates - Beef short ribs braised in Cabernet with pasta, pearl onions and mushrooms

This was one of our favorite meals from last trip and it didn’t disappoint us this year. The beef was super tender, not fatty like short ribs can be. Very flavorful. Delicious.

DH had Filet de boeuf grille, sauce au poivre noir Gratin Dauphinois et haricots verts - Grilled tenderloin of beef with a black pepper sauce original potato gratin of Savoy and green beans

This was also very good, especially the potatoes.

For dessert, DH had Crepe a la pomme et cannelle, glace vanille, caramel jus de pommes - Crepes filled with cinnamon, apple, vanilla ice cream and apple caramel sauce

DS had a cappuccino

I just finished the wine that we had ordered.

Lunch with the wine, came to $192.45. DS and I did have a very good lunch here last year but with all the recent bad reviews here on the Dis, I was nervous. No need to be. All three of us really enjoyed this meal.

 

[GoofySon'sMom]

I had booked an early-ish dinner at 5:30 at the Biergarten because I wanted to be back out for all of the festivities. I didn’t even realize that at 6 pm, it was New Year’s in Germany. All of the servers went down on stage & celebrated. It was really cool and a little sad as you could tell many were missing their families.

This was really a nice bonus for us!

As you know, dinner is a buffet – I only took my first plate.

Potato Leek soup with a pretzel roll, roasted potatoes, chicken schnitzel covered with spaetzle and gravy & some sausages.

All were very good. I ended up with a 2nd plate of the chicken & spaetzle!

DH had a Becks and I had a white wine flight. Total of the meal was $134.70. The alcohol portion was $22.90.

Throughout the evenind, DH and I enjoyed a couple of beverages

Champagne for me & white wine for DH during the first Illuminations.

Later, we each had two of these

Pomegranate and champagne from a stand set up near Morocco. Very tasty!

thanks for another wonderful update...I'm so glad too you did not cancel Chefs de France...we had the best lunch meal there too. My husband loves the cheese sampler and I love the short ribs (its one of the best that I had on our Disney trip). When making an ADR's my husband request for CP and Chefs de France.

This truly seems to be a hit or miss place if you read the reviews here. I am so glad it was a hit for you as well. We definitely enjoyed our meal.

Chefs looked great I keep puting chefs back on my list then i hear a not so good review and take it off now I will for sure keep Chefs on my list! i think i will have to order that "Salade au bleu - romaine hearts, blue cheese dressing, bacon, walnuts, croutons" I looks so good
