My First Dining Review (4/29 - 5/4):
Well it has been a month since we returned and I have finally gotten this dining review started. We had a 5 night stay at BWV, April 29th – May 4. This is my first ever dining review, or any type of review for that matter. However, I am a big fan of the DIS, the Restaurant Board, and particularly the Dining Reviews.
Let me preface by saying that I have been on a diet since July 2006. I have lost 52 pounds to date (WOO HOO!) . So since I refuse to diet on vacation, I often dream about all the tasty things that I will be able to eat while at Disney. I think it is what gets me through and keeps me true to my diet most the other days of the year.
We were using the DDE discount. We always go to Cape May Clambake and Ohana for dinner. We had three more nights to schedule ADRs so we each decided to choose a TS. I chose Boma for dinner, we also chose Rose and Crown (each of these are first times for us) and to go to Cape May a second time because we love it.
Restaurants to be reviewed:
Kringla Bakery
Cape May Clambake
Tusker House
Ohana
Boardwalk Bakery
Rose and Crown
Sunshine Seasons
Boma
Boardwalk Bakery (#2)
Cape May Clambake (#2)
Well, I may as well get to the report.
Day 1: Kringla Bakery and Cape May Clambake
Lunch: Kringla Bakery: I split an open faced ham sandwich and School Bread with my sis. Mind you, I only split food when I am trying to save room for an early dinner. I have no problem handling a full meal. There were two surprises to this meal. The first was how much I did not like the sandwich. The bread was dry and the ham seemed slightly frozen and watery. The second surprise was how much I did like the School Bread. Generally, I am disappointed once I try something that so many have raved about. Sometimes I think my taste buds must work differently then most other people on these boards. But the School Bread was very good and I am not really even a fan of coconut. However, I probably would only stop back at Kringla to try another dessert, so many things looked delicious.
I rate this experience a 2 of 5 for CS. The line was long and very slow, food was mediocre (neither the sandwich nor the School Bread made it on my must have Disney food list) and I am not a fan of outdoor seating even when undercover.
Dinner: Cape May Clambake: YUM!!! I have been to this restaurant probably ten times and I love it. I am disappointed that the shrimp are now cold instead of freshly steamed, but what can you do? The ribs and mac and cheese were particularly good this evening, as was the clam chowder. I had a little of everything, but I was full before I got to the carving station, and I had to save a little (a lot) of room for the yummy desserts. My favorite desserts are the mini-cheesecake, mini-key lime tart, and the strawberry mousse.
I rate this experience a 4 of 5 for TS. The food was delicious, the atmosphere calm and comfortable, and the service was good.
More to come...
