Orlando's Magical Dining Month

[llqool]

Don't know if someone posted this already (can never get the search function to work!), but there is apparently a new promotion called Orlando's Magical Dining Month going on Sept 1-30th. There are several upscale restaurants in the Orlando area that are offering prix fix lunches and dinners (lunch $17 and a 3 course dinner is $29). It not only includes places like Emeril's 2 restaurants at Universal, it also includes some Disney restaurants like Fulton Crab House and Portobello Yacht Club.

I guess the off-site places are trying to draw business b/c of the free dining promotion causing everyone to eat on property???

Anyway, there is a website you can find if you Google Orlando's magical dining (the promotion is thru the visitors bureau). It doesn't seem that you have to buy tix or anything, just make a reservation at a participating restaurant.

I wish we had time to try Tchoup Chop!

The homepage said it's a fixed price and a fixed menu so I would think you can't just choose anything off the regular menu. I wonder how limited it's going to be BUT I went on ahead and made reservations for Fulton's anyway. We tried to go about 5-6 years ago but there were no open reservations, and we never thought to try again..... Thanks for the info.

Just wanted to note that the website does have some of the menus. I only looked at Portabello's - but it appears to be very limited.

Yes, and I called Fulton's today to make reservations and the waitstaff on the line told me that the chef was preparing a menu for this special today. Who knows what will be on that menu but that's okay, as long as they have a chicken/beef dish to choose instead of the fish for one of us...
