Maybe we'll do a split stay in 2011 (next year we're doing a split stay with AKL). I just love the thought of the queen beds at CSR now, plus it's just "home" to us. I'm surprised about the parking lot being full...we rent a car every year and have never had a problem. Oh well, bring on more food porn for us tomorrow.
That would be a nice split stay!
Oh, soooo sorry Raglan Road was so awful! I just today made a reservation for it in September...DS & his friend really want to go there for both the food and the entertainment. Wonder if they do a better job with the more traditional Irish dishes? Or are they still on the menu even? Now I seriously have to debate this one. Was the entertainment any good?
Sounds like you're still having the same crummy weather we had -- raining every afternoon/evening just about last week. And not the usual quick downpour & it's over stuff, either -- it was the puddles up to your ankles in places kind of rain. Was hoping people would have a better time this week.
We loved the smallness of the POFQ, and the quietness...and parking close to our building. Yes, the place is looking a little shabby, but we kind of took that as part of the decor, just like the real French Quarter. It has always been clean, anyway and maids were quite attentive. Hop that boat over to DTD one of the days you're going solo -- it's really relaxing and convenient to the Marketplace .
This morning the sun is shining, DH is snoring and all is well with the world! Maybe RR had an off night and you will have a better time? The music and the dancing was great but other than that I dont think I can get Todd to try it again. Plan to walk around POFQ and check it out today...we had the quietest night ever, no neighbors upstairs or next to us, the only turbo toilet was ours
Boy, what a crappy start for you! That stinks all around!
I think you should go back and complain...bring in your pictures and see what happens...you never know, right?
Tomorrow will be better, I just know it. (It can't get much worse!
)
Thats an idea, bring my camera over and say hey, your food is BLECH!
Niki how dare they not talk to you when you dont eat the food? If the clamari was that bad, you didnt get ice for your ice tea - and they ignore you? You both were very very tired!
Well, at least things can only go up from here...
Enjoy the time - Weather is looking good for Orlando - no worries for the end of your trip - you'll have plenty of us cheering you on what to do!!
Thanks for confirming, altho we are Irish, and dh makes a great Irish Soda Bread, we do not want any pucks or doggy poo
I know usually I say something but we were so tired and hungry and it was so loud in there that we just dealt with it...looking forward to better meals!
We have an Irish restaurant where we live and the food there is fantastic!
That pasta from Raglan looked horrible. I ate there once, and had a decent meal, but I do agree that WP is better.
Looking at it now I cannot believe we didnt send it back!
Nicki, so sorry to read about your terrible experience at Raglan Road.
And as for the bread pudding ... oh, the humanity! That wasn't any bread pudding I've ever had at Raglan Road ... that was leftover french toast from yesterday's breakfast stuffed into a coffee cup (there weren't any coffee grounds in there, right?).
I agree with a previous poster ... you ought to take those pictures back to the restaurant and speak with a manager. The entire meal looked disgusting and that makes me very sad for you and for the rest of us, too.
Here's hoping the rest of your trip and meals are nothing but wonderful.
Nope no coffee grounds
For the rest of you dining at RR I hope my experience is nothing to be repeated!
Those meatballs looked just plain wrong. Sorry you had to start your trip with petrified dog poop....things can only go up from here, right? Hope tomorrow is a better, more magical day!
Thats right, it can only get better...no more icky food for me!
OMG that looked horrid! Sorry to hear you had such a horrible experience! I really hope it gets better from here on out!
It better or I am going to McDonalds! Just kidding but I got to tell ya last night at DTD McDonalds was jammed and had a line to the front door......at least you know what you get when you eat at McD's!
Oh Nicki, I am so sorry to hear you had such a disappointing start to your trip, food wise!
So I was not the only one who had a less than stellar experience there. The breadpudding we had was as dry and tasteless as yours! I ended up pouring the butterscotch, or whatever sauce it was, onto the spoon and eating it that way.
I just hope that you will love Cali Grill as much as we do! If you get a chance ask for one of my two favourite waiters!!
Have fun and enjoy your week at THE WORLD!!!!!!!!!
It seems we have the same tastes! Cali Grill countdown starts now! We have 5:45 ressies and I cannot wait!
Count me in as horrified by your Raglan Road experience. It sure didn't look like mine. My friends ordered the calamari back then, and it did NOT look like what you received.
I'm wondering if they lost their good kitchen staff and replaced them with inadequate help.
That could be, new kitchen staff but after all the food we had there is was evident that items are sitting under heat lamps just waiting for people to order them....that aint cool
I can't believe how gross your food looked from RR. I ate there on Mother's Day and everything was really tasty.. maybe they were just having a bad night. Either way, that's not an excuse, especially when you drop $90 for dinner. Just think happy thoughts.. many more delicious meals to come! Looking forward to reading the rest of your reviews! (and pics
)
Wish I ordered a cocktail, then the food might have not made a difference!
So sorry you had such a bad night! Yucky food, and the AP issue
I can't believe that. Tomorrow is a new day, though, and Cali Grill is waiting
You got that right, put it behind me and get to eatin'! Now if DH will just wake the heck up!
Sorry you had such a horrible first night out. It has to get better from here.
If you can please show some pics from POFQ, we're thinking of staying there this fall. Looking forward to the rest of your reviews.
Plan on doing that today, the sun is out and I cannot wait to scope out the grounds! So nice and quiet, quieter than any resort we have ever stayed in, including the deluxes!
We have eaten at RR for both lunch and dinner and other than having awful server both times, the food was quite good. We adored the bread pudding and none of us remember it looking like that! Seems they either changed staff or had a really off night. No way the fact that you didn't eat your food should have been ignored! 
I think you have great taste in food, and I think I will be crossing off RR from my list for next year. Hopefully today will be a better day!!
I truly hope you have a wonderful experience at the Cali Grille. It's one of our all time favorite meals! 
I have Tony's down for lunch one day. That veggie calzone Todd had looked good!!
