DAY FIVE- Thursday
dinner: Grand Floridian Cafe

To us, the GF cafe is our little hidden "gem" it is very under rated and it has never been crowded when we eat there. on my last trip, we ate there for breakfast and lunch,and and this trip we went for dinner. it was nice and convenient t just go down the elevator, take about 15 steps and you are there! we got there at 6, and did not have ADR's. we had them for the day before for lunch but cancelled b/c of DH being sick. they were SO sweet and said "no problem" i had my honeymoon button on, and they were so excited for us and gave us a window seat. there was literally no one around us.

for appetizers, bobby got crab cakes and i gt the cheese platter. I am very picky and only ate some of mine, but DH said it was ver good for a "normal person" (thanks) DH really enjoyed his crab cakes and even though he still didn't eat a lot, he ate over half the crab cakes.

for entrees, DH got the land and sea, and i got the new york strip.

as soon as i got my steak, i had to move it away from the other food on my plate. lol!

DH said the shrimp were EXCELLENT and I relaly enjoyed the steak. again, not the best i have ever had, but good. the mashed potatoes on teh other hand....these were the best thngs I have ever had! I'm sure they had tons of butter in them, but they were so good! DH was upset that he couldn't finish his meal, his appetite was still not normal. he decided to skip dessert and I decided to get the chocolate fondue. I was excited about this b/c i llloovvvee chocolate. but it was just....ok. see, it was DARK chocolate, and i dont like dark chocolate, so it tasted kind of bitter IMO. but if thats the worst thing to happen at this meal I'll take it!
our server was also very nice. she brought everything out promptly and explained all the different DP options to us.

GRADE:
Food: A (dessert gets a B)
Service: A
restaurant atmosphere: A. window seat, very empty, very private and nice!

Great reviews. Your husband is a really good sport to allow you to take pictures of him with his food. Of course, you are both so attractive and photogenic that it is no wonder he is willing to smile when you break out the camera!

DAY SIX -Friday
LUNCH
Cap'n Jacks DTD

OK...this is going to be an interesting one. i know some people love this place....but we hated it. now, granted, a lot of ppl go for dinner to get the lobster, and thats great, but that is not on teh lunch menu, and what we ordered was NOT good.
ok, so first of all we walk in at 11:25, and aparently the place doesn't open till 11:30. only problem is, teh girl at teh conuter speaks HORRIBLE English and we couldn't understand that she was trying to say that they were not open yet! how annoying! plus, we were FIVE min. early. come on now. so that got me annoyed to begin with. you shouldn't be a hostess if you cannot speak ENGLISH! BAH!
ok..so we come back 5 minutes later, and are seated. our waiter was very very nice, very attentive, and totally not teh problem. he was great! as we wait for him to come take our order, i look around. the place just looks....dirty. it just looks kinda old and yucky, and just not my style. but that i could get passed if the food was Great. we order apetizers and get the new england clam chowder and the spinach and artichoke dip. DH said the clam chowder was pretty good, and teh dip just "ok" and nothing special.

he was finally getting his apetite back! haha. (but not completely)

I ordered the chicken alfredo, and DH orders the shrimp in lobster sauce. DH loves seafood and lobster, so it was a good bet for him (we thought)
our food came and we started to eat.....first of all, the noodles were chewy, and the sauce in mine kinda too liquidy. DH said the lobster sauce tasted NOTHING like lobster sauce but like bad cheese. it was edible, but just, blah. mine didn't have a lot of flavor, and it was just....substance. something to eat. but def. not "good"

nasty lobster sauce

the chicken I had that had no taste.

the highlight of this meal would be the dessert, but seriously, how can you csrew up desert so i won't even give them that. it was like a lava cake with ice cream and all these toppings. it was yum, but nothing that i couldn't make at home.

GRADE:
food: D. it just wasn't good....plain and simple.
service: A. our waiter was great, but it didn't make the food taste better
restaurant atmosphere: C- I just don't liek the old roughin it dirty looking place...i kept looking around for bugs!

Yummy. I was so glad that you posted a pic of Coral Reef's crab claws. I think I may be getting that for my appetizer this coming June. Thanks for sharing your reviews.

DAY SIX- Friday
Dinner
Le Cellier-Canada (EPCOT)

by this time DH had his full apetite back, and I was very excited for him! on m ylast trip, le cellier was one of my fav. places to eat, and i know it gets dis board hype, so lets see what happened....
ADR was for 6:10, we got there at 6:05, and had to wait about 15 minutes. it was a nice night, so it was ok. we finally go in and this place is PACKED. we get seated right in front of the bathrooms with a table LITERALLY a foot and a half next to us. luckily, there was no one sitting there. yet. (they were the little two perosn tables.) our waiter finally comes and is very nice but very very slow. it took 15 minutes to get our drinks and bread. then we ordered apetizers, and he took off before we could order our food! he cam eback 10 minutes later and took our order. by then we needed more drinks, and that took another 15 minutes. our apetizers finally arrived a few minutes later. I got the cheddar cheese soup and DH got the beef skewer. DH LOVED the beef skewer, said it was so good. the soup was...ok. It is strange, i swear I remmeber it tasting a lot better than this...i only ate about half.

we both ordered the filet, and i didn't realize it had some weird BBQ sauce on it. I really was not impressed. first of all, i asked for medium to medium well, a litle pink on the inside...it came back chared, blackened burned. and the sauce was just not my cup of tea. i am sure it would have been ok not burned and without that sauce, but oh well. dh said it was just "ok" too.

i dont know why they put it on such a BIG plate. it looks so little and lonely.

ok so after 15 minutes of flagging down this dude, we order dessert. i got the sorbet and DH got the creme brule.

the sorbet was ok, not great but refreshing. Dh said the crem brule was ok, but then again he isn't into fancy desserts, so it could just be him haha.

now, let me back up a little. about the time we got our apetizers, they sat a couple down next to us. great. i was determined to make teh best of it...which was impossible. let me paint ya a little picture here. it was another honeymooning couple. but not just ANY honeymooning couple. it was high maintenece barbie and her husband. this girl had long bleach blonde hair, VERY expensive clothes on, name brnad EVERYTHING, and she talked like a balley girl....i'm not kidding. "like, totally, i freaked out when that squirrel came running in front of me, like, oh my gosh, like, it was so, like, gross!" AAAHHH I was in H-E double hockey sticks. and she talked LOUD. i didn't want to hear her conversation but it was kinda hard not to. she kept saying how she couldnt wait to get home and get her little fee fee or foo foo or whoever out of the kennel b/c she missed him so much and how she was getting a mani-pedi as soon as she got home. it was AWFUL! AAAHH! and they were basically sititng on top of us....it was the most akward meal.....i guess i dont rmember it being like that last time b/c last time we had 7 ppl so we were at a big table away from everyone else. but i don't think we ill be going back here. food jsut ok. and atmosphere too crowded for me!

GRADE:
Food: C+ or a generous B- since DH loved the skewer
Service: C. waiter slower than Christmas...and kinda dumb to boot
Atmoshpere: C or B depending on where you sit! it is a neat place, but i felt so uncomfortable being so close to people!

Oh no...your Le Cellier experience frightens me because that's where I was thinking we should go if the rumor about Alfredo's closing is really true.

everyone has a different experince. it was a BAD place. just not as amazing as everyone makes it out to be. if you get a good table, have a competent waiter and don't order the wrong thing then hopefully it should be fine! lol.

 

[bop28]

That teeny filet on that huge plate looks crazy!! Did they forget to put something on the plate?
