Hi All!
I live for dining reviews and am excited to have the chance to share my own! My DH and I just returned from a fabulous week and I'm still full! But it was worth it.
We had booked the trip just 90 days out so I was late with making reservations. For the most part I was able to get everything I wanted. I would just say don't give up keep trying. It took a few weeks to get BOG but I did. Even while I was at Disney I swapped some things around so you never know.
Also, we didn't do the dining plan. We don't do a lot of QS and not enough TS for the deluxe. We're stuck in the middle and I felt it was more cost effective to pay oop.
Here we are! Starting things off with one of my favs - Kir Royale from France.
We arrived Friday at 4:30 and had made a reservation at the Yachtsman since we were staying at the Yacht Club. Also, we were celebrating DH's birthday so the Yachtsman was a perfect choice. Thankfully we had no delays with our flights and our luggage arrived with 20 minutes to spare before dinner! Phew!
We checked in and were seated within about 15 minutes of our reservation.
To start I had the wedge salad and DH had the charcuterie
I really enjoyed the wedge. Crisp and fresh with a tasty dressing. The charcuterie was also quite good. It had Mortadella, Pork Loin, Wild Boar Rillettes, Saucisson en Brioche (sausage in brioche), Chasseur Pate. Delicious!
We also received their basket of bread. I LOVE bread so it takes a lot for me not to like it.
The onion pull apart bread is my absolute fav and the star here. The regular dinner rolls are just ok. I wish they just did a basket of the onion bread.
For our entrees we each ordered the 12 oz NY Strip Steak with brandy sauce and potato gratin. AMAZING. Steak was flavorful and cooked perfectly. The potato gratin a perfect side. We also ordered a side of spinach which was also very good.
Dessert I was very excited about because I had ordered a mini-cake from private dining for my DH! It was so easy, I just called the number from the cake thread and ordered it. It was chocolate cake with white chocolate mousse and white chocolate ganache frosting.
This cake was amazing. Seriously absolutely delicious. I figured it'd be just ok and was more about the novelty of it but it was so good! We contemplated ordering one to have at the end of the week. We never did but now I'm sitting here typing this thinking dang, why didn't we order another cake!
This dinner did not disappoint and was a great way to kick off our vacation.
Next up: Frontera Cocina and California Grill.
