Sadly, and also, finally, this DR is winding down. This is our last dining plan meal for the trip.
This was a very strange meal for us, I'll be honest. The server was just... weird. I'll discuss throughout the meal.
We checked in, and were seated after no too long.
She brought us some bread:
Which was good, but nothing particularly special.
She asked for our drink orders, and Nic asked for a glass of water, too. She asked if he wanted tap or bottled, and he said we were on the dining plan, so he wasn't sure if it was covered. She responded with "It can be...", and we were like "Well, is it or no?" and she just giggled and walked away. We were already kind of like ooookay, that was weird.
So, she comes back with drinks (including a bottle of water), and takes our appetizer orders.
I went with the Goat Cheese Truffle Salad:
It was really really good. I loved it!
Nic ventured out of his comfort zone and tried the cheese plate:
He really liked it, and was glad he ordered it. He's not a bleu cheese eater at all, but still tried it. It was a milder bleu, but still to bleu for him.
When our waitress came back to take our plates, she made a snarky face and said "Ah, I see you're done with your cheese plate... Yes, blue cheese is only for those with sophisticated palettes, like all our food here." and did her little giggle again and walked away. I should point out, it was a rude giggle, not an "I'm kidding" giggle.
We were definitely feeling less than happy with her when our entrees arrived.
I ordered the filet, after she practically forced me to. I'm pretty sure if I would've ordered anything else, she would've just put in my order as the filet anyways. She got SUPER offended when I said I'd had a lot of filets this week and was feeling a little filet-ed out. She asked which I'd liked best, and I said Jiko's, and she literally said "Oh, Jiko's sucks." Then, she went off about how wonderful theirs was, and I finally was like, fine, I'll get it.
Was it good? Oh, yessss, of course. Sooo delicious. Was it as good as Jiko's? Nope. And when she asked, I told her I liked Jiko's better, and she made a comment of "Well, it must be that whole sophisticated pallette thing". At this point, we were about ready to grab a manager and complain, but we just aren't complainers. I know, it's stupid, we should've just complained, but neither of us are big with confrontation when it's not a huge deal sort of thing.
Nic ordered the short ribs:
They were very delicious, but, again, not as good as Jiko's. Ohhh, Jiko short ribs.... ... Anyways, he liked them, but he did comment he wasn't a big fan of the parsnips.
During our entrees, she showed up to ask about refills on drinks, and when it came to the water, we were like "Well, we're on the meal plan, and I'm sure more than one isn't covered." She told us "It'll just disappear like the rest of them." and gave her obnoxious little giggle.
I ordered the Warm Banana Chocolate Torte for dessert:
It was good, but a little dry. It was perfect with the ice cream, and I wish there would've been more ice cream, because I ran out, even though I tried to portion it out.
And then we come to the last drama point of the evening. Nic ordered the Lemon Cheesecake:
Food first, it was very good, but rather lemony. We couldn't figure out what the giant decorative thing that sticks up was. We both took a nibble, and I was rather addicted to it, and ate a decent bit. When our waitress came up to clear the plates and drop the check, we asked "What is this made of? Is it supposed to be edible?" and she snatched the plates off the table, and snapped "Well, you've already EATEN half of it." and stomped away from the table.
We just kind of stared after her, absolutely stunned at the rudeness. I'll state again, we really regret not going and speaking to a manager in hind-sight. It absolutely ruined our meal.
Well, it turned out the drinks were covered under the dining plan, though we noticed it conveniently jacked up the amount of the bill as far as tip goes.
Food - 9/10
Pretty delicious, though there were a few weird things, as commented upon.
Service - 2/10
Unfortunately, we were so frazzled that we left our copy of the receipt, and I didn't write down her name. I think I remember it, but I'm not going to write what I think it is, since I don't want to possibly incriminate someone innocent.
You all read what I said about service. She gets two points because she at least brought stuff out timely and did keep drinks refilled, though I highly debated 0. She did her job well, just with the worst attitude and rudeness of any server I've ever had at any restaurant.
Atmosphere - 10/10
We were right at the window, looking out to MK and the lake. Beautiful!!
Overall Experience - 6/10
The food was good, and we had a good time, and we'll definitely go back. But, if we ever see her, you can bet we'll be requesting a different server. We recommend the restaurant for sure, just not her.
Total Cost of Food: Don't have the receipt.
That whole server thing at Citricos is just beyond bizarre. Sophisticated palette?? Wow, I think I would have lost it! Those are the times when I'm not happy that the tip is included when we use our TIW card. That is just so rude and unprofessional. And to say another restaurant's food sucks? Just amazing. 
I hope you didn't tip her?
