My Top 5 Meals from April Trip

[kleigh1969]

My Top 5 Meals:

1. Via Napoli (dinner) - We had a large pepperoni pizza with basil. This was wonderful: the sauce, the cheese, the crust - just perfect. And I am very picky about my pizza. We also had the tiramisu, which was excellent.

2. Sanaa (lunch) - I can't believe this place isn't busier.

We got a table by the window and saw so many animals while we ate. Bread service was amazing - we got all naan. It was so fresh and bubbly. For sauces we got cucumber raita, garlic pickle, and roasted red bell pepper hummus. Garlic pickle was my favorite.

I also got the tomato soup with paneer cheese. Delicious. Soup and cheese both had a nice flavor and texture and was served at a good temperature.

For my entrée I got the slow cooked assortment. I chose the basmati rice which was nicely seasoned. I chose the chicken with red curry sauce, a very pleasant flavor, and another, which is not showing on their menu they have up right now – chicken durbin? Not sure if I am spelling that right, but wow, was that good – had a nice spicy kick. It would not be for everyone, but I loved it.

My husband got the tandoori chicken, said it was good, and polished it all off, but I didn’t taste it. It was a hard decision whether to make this one or two on my list. Really, I think Sanaa tied for #1 with Via Napoli.

3. Yak and Yeti (lunch) – I got the chicken lo mien. Nice portion size, hot, and tasted great. My husband the got ribs and they were so good – falling off the bone. My husband’s chili slaw could have used more zing for sure, and the egg rolls we got here nice and hot, but no different from what you would get at a typical restaurant – I would probably not get them again; I would try something else.

4. 50s Prime Time Café (dinner) – We both got the fried chicken. Crisp, hot, juicy, what more can I say? A treat because we stay away from foods like that for the most part at this point in our lives!

5. Liberty Tree Tavern (dinner) – Yeah, I know the food is a little processed, but after a hard day of touring, it was so nice to get off our feet and have some comfort food. You can’t beat the atmosphere here. Salad was a little wilted and didn’t have much dressing on it (although my husband thought it was fine, so maybe we just needed to toss it). Good bread, meats and gravy were good, especially the steak. I loved the mashed potatoes. Stuffing was good. We liked the dessert. This place is just becoming tradition for us!

4. Maybe I went on an off-day, cause my fried chicken was incredibly salty! the table next to us said the same. It was awful. I should've had the meatloaf. Im a bit hesitant to try it again, but it was a lot of fun. The antics are hilarious.

5. I LOVE LIBERTY TREE DINNER!!!! I cannot say enough good things about it. Its a tradition for us as well, must do for every trip! YUM!

Maybe it was an off day like you said. I felt that the turkey at Liberty Tree was saltier than the chicken at 50s PT. So if you thought the chicken was saltier than the turkey, maybe they made a mistake on the spices that day?

Thanks for the reviews. It's great to hear a positive review of Via Napoli. We went in September and loved it. I can't wait to go back next month, but the recent bad reviews have made me nervous.

I honestly can't understand how someone could eat what we ate and not think it was wonderful, but my husband pointed out that most people are used to the typical (at least in America) pizza that has "cheese" over every square inch and is smothered in toppings. This pizza is a little more subdued - but an example of less being more!

Thanks for the reviews. My son is looking foward to trying the ribs at Yak & Yeti. I'm glad to hear that you liked them.

Would you recommend Sana for a NOT adventorous eater? I would love to go but not sure about DH

I LOVE Yak and Yeti. I had the steak dish and the lo mein (and I don't like lo mein) and both were excellent!!!

Via Napoli will be a new one for us when we are there in July. Glad to hear you liked it!

We were going to do Yak and Yeti but changed to a Tusker House lunch to get a "Finding Nemo" package.

We love LTT! My husband wanted it at least two times for our upcoming trip.

It does look like they have a few items offered for those who may not be into African/Indian food: Turkey Club Sandwich, Burger, Pork Chop, so maybe show him the menu and see what he thinks. Also I have read reviews where people have said that the fish has a very light broth, nothing too exotic.

I was a pretty picky eater when I married my husband 12 years ago and little by little he has gotten me to try some many different foods, most of which I like (I still refuse to eat mayo, sour cream, and mushrooms). I never would have dreamed of trying Indian food on my own.

But the funny thing about it (or at least the food I have eaten) is that a lot of it is just comfort food - meats slow-cooked in gravies and sauces, some spicy, some not. I don't mean to think that I am by any means even a little bit of an expert on Indian food, but the red curry sauce for example, was just a really tasty, tomato-based sauce. And when I was eating the tomato soup, I remember telling my husband that it tasted a lot like the sauce that comes on the raviloi I like to order at Tucci Benucch!

He may be surprised to find that he likes it; although it would be a bummer to get this expensive meal on vacation and not like it!

Great reviews. My Dsis and her DH will be going next month without the DDP so I will pass on your review of Y&Y.

Great reviews! I am a huge fan Saahn too and liked the Yak and Yeti

Thanks for the reviews. What time was your lunch seating @ Sanaa? I have been thinking of booking this for my trip in December.

We had an 11:45 seating. There were other people there, but not many. I would say maybe about 6 tables total. So everyone got a window seat! Maybe it got busier later, but it worked out perfectly for us. Great service too. Our server was so nice and helpful, answering questions about the menu.

I also am a big Liberty Tree Tavern fan! Is it a character dinner now? I know it has been in the past....

Not anymore. They took the characters away a couple years ago.
