On our second last park day DF woke up feeling very ill. This was not good! How would she enjoy the food! We headed to Magic Kingdom, hoping she would feel better with some fresh air and some good chow.
I've always found MK's quick service selection kind of limited in terms of quality. I was very happy to find the Columbia Harbour House a couple years ago. Not only does it have vegetarian selections, but it also has a TON of seating available. Gotta love not combing the place searching for the one lone open table.
ME:
#8 Garden Galley Salad - Mixed greens with chicken, pecans, pineapple and feta cheese.
Apple Crisp - Apple Crisp.
Lemonade
I was actually pleasantly surprised. Normally i have the veggie sandwich and soup combo, but this day i was feeling salady. The combination of pineapple and feta was a little odd, but it worked. The salad also came with a bunch of dressing options. I opted for the Olive Oil Vinagrette which was great. Much better than the normal Ranch/Italian/Blue Cheese offerings. By the time i got to the apple crisp it was quite cold. S'ok though cause
again i was too full to worry about it.
DF:
#2 Fried Chicken Strips - Served with choice of French fries or apple slices.
Apple Crisp - Apple Crisp.
Sprite
DF picked at this plate. She felt that chicken strips might be ok for her troubled tummy. She said they were good, average fried fare. I tried the chips, they were pretty good too. She didn't finish her apple crisp either.
Since DF wasn't feeling well we bailed on MK early and headed back to Old Key West so she could nap and i could go to the pool. Who was i kidding? I ended up falling asleep too. We woke up just in time to head to the Polynesian with DM and DD for the much anticipated Kona Cafe. We had first tried this place last year after many recommendations from fellow disboard members. It was excellent last year and we were hoping it would not disappoint this year.
BUMMER. DM was too hungry to wait for apps and
begged us not to order any. BOOOOO.
ME:
Shrimp and Scallops - Panko breaded shrimp and pan-seared scallops with sticky rice and Ponzu, spicy guava, passion fruit, and wasabi cream sauces.
Chocolate Macadamia Nut Tart - Dark Chocolate and Macadamia with a pecan pie center.
Smoothies - Strawberry-Banana.
Wonderfully delicious, delicately breaded shrimp and perfectly seared scallops. Though the portion looks small, it is filling. I did ask for an extra side of wasabi cream sauce, but that's cause i
love the stuff. I loved the added touch of roasted poppy seeds on the scallops.
Yes, i deviated from the Creme Brulee. I will admit it was a big choice, but it was worth it. This tart was great. So moist, so tender, and sooo nutty. I regret nothing!
DF:
Pan-Asian Noodles - Asian noodles with sliced chicken, seasonal vegetables, and a House made vegetarian stir-fry sauce.
Chocolate-banana Creme Brulee
Smoothies - Strawberry-Banana.
DF wasn't feeling well again. She opted for the noodles to again, not upset her stomach. She said they were tasty, but really didn't elaborate. The dish looked pretty sexy but not too complex.
She barely touched her Creme Brulee! That's how you knew she really wasn't feeling well. Lucky DM also had the Brulee and so we can take her review. DM said the Brulee was beautifully presented. She appreciated the taste of real bananas, not just banana flavoring. Also, the chocolate and the banana worked very well together, and the custard was very smooth. She would not give up her chocolate swirly decorative thing.
Kona Cafe did not disappoint once again! The only drawback is that the atmosphere is sometimes a little noisy due the high volumes of guests going through the lobby and the rabid numbers of children. lol. Overall a great experience not to be missed!
. DS (18) is a VERY picky eater. We tried CdF last June while at WDW with DH's family and DS was bold and got the seared tuna and LOVED, LOVED, LOVED it 
(OK, he REALLY liked it 
!!). We are headed back to WDW next month and will be back at CdF. Actually, if he had it his way, we would eat dinner there every night, but I HAVE to have my Le Cellier & Kona and we do want to try Teppan Edo (which he discovered that he loved last year on our Spring Break trip).
I am too excited about our ADR for Narcoossees! Thank You for posting
