[burberryplaid]

Just wanted to say I really enjoyed your reviews...especially since you guys hit some places that aren't widely discussed around here.

 

[mommykds]

Hey Courtney - wasn't that you and Ryan sitting next to Heather and her hubby?

Just kidding...

Like, that totally was not us. No, like not us at all. I mean, really, did you really, like believe that would be us? I mean, like seriously? What? Us? Like no.

Hahahaha! I literally laughed out loud when I read that.... So funny!

Loving the reviews Heather, it's a shame that your DH was so ill, at least he got his appetite back by the end of the trip.

In Le Cellier, do they not have private tables? I don't really like the idea of eating with strangers and i thought that most places you would sit with your own party. Does this happen at most WDW restaurants? I'm concerned now.

ok, we ate at Gasparillas a LOT so I am just reviewing it one time. lol. we found it very convenient for us, we were in the main bldg. so just an elevator ride downstairs and a quick walk outside. we spent many a night sitting at teh tables outside watching wishes and eating.

Hi heather,

Can you really see wishes from Gasparilla's? We will be staying at the GF-Sugar Loaf in November.

it was a private table just to ourselves, a little two perosn table, but it was literally on top of teh two person table next to us. there were a couple tables in the bacl that looked more secluded, but i wasn't about to wait around for one of those. plus, when we got there no one was at the table next to us at first. it is a very small restaurant withvery close quarters

Your reviews and pics are great!! Thanks for sharing!
About LeCellier...not great news, as we are planning an ADR there in October! We will have 4 in our party...are all the tables that close together, or just the 2 person tables?
That steak does look tiny!!

 

[heatherlynn444]

well, maybe not all the tables, but a lot of them are very side by side.

here is another review from someone "squished": http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?t=1301610

here is a pic i found on the boards. you cansee how close some of the tables are:

like I said, maybe we just had a bad table, bad waiter, ands I picked the wrong food. haha. but personally, there are better places to eat in Disney In our opinions!

DAY SEVEN-1/13
LUNCH
50's Prime time cafe

this place was a definate to do for DH's first visit. he loves to joke with ppl so I knew he would get a kick out of this place. we had 11:05 ADR, and got there at 11:15 (stunt show ran late!) and were seated in 5 minutes or less.
our waiter was "cousin" J. R., who was.....of the homosexual persuasion, which was fine, but very funny. DH is not a big fan of being checked out by other men, and I thought it was quite funny. i had already been to the bathroom, and so when I came back JR asked if i washed my hands, and knowing his little tricks I said "yes and its BLUE!" (refering to the soap) he was all upset I ruined his joke hehe. DH got told repeatedly to get his elbows off the table, and he rolled his eyes like a child. too funny! also, a family by us had to get up, come to our table, and tell us congratulations. it was cute.
we both got vanilla milkshakes for our drinks, and a glass of water

this was a mistake. teh milkshake was so filling, I was't hungry for my meal!


for apetizers I got the herb cheese and DH got the onion rings.

DH proclaimed the onion rings "good" and i thought the herb cheese was just ok...the bread was hard as a rock!

i ordered the fried chicken and DH the chicken pot pie. the fried chicken was pretty good, the greens, not so good. I tried them, and when JR asked if i did, DH told him I hadn't! so he made me eat more! DH lied! i was "mad!" haha. but they were really gross. DH said the pot pie was good but not great. (i think we were both so stuffed full of milkshake everything tasted not as good!)

but of COURSE we got dessert! I got the smores and SH a hot fudge sundae.

very very good. but i was so upset I couldn't finish! but i wish i had them now! dont you hate that? at the time you are stuffed, and then a month later, you would give anything for it!

GRADE:
food: B. filling and good, but not "spectacular"
service: JR was very good and played the part well,and always got us water refills, and came and talked to us alot
overall atmosphere: A. atmosphere can't be beat! its so cute and fun!

Thanks for posting more great reviews, really looking forward to 50s Prime Time, have to remember no milkshake before food though , I'm with you on this Le Cellier thing, it was good, but not up to the hype of these boards, and table location is important in a room like that, for privacy. Thanks again,

 

[GoofyBaseballMom26]

Your review is great. I also agree with you about Le Cellier. I enjoyed it but probably won't go back.

You are such a cute couple and your picture in the carriage is beautiful!

 

[jenseib]

YUM! the S'mores look so good. And the sundae too! I have been craving seets the last few days ,and those pictures really hit me!! LOL

 

[PlutosFriend]

Sorry your dh was sick I had the Mahi Mahi when I was there too. Yummy. Looks like you guys sat at the same table we were at. Next time I want to sit closer to the tank!

 

[PlutosFriend]

I have always wanted to try Cap N Jacks. Maybe not anymore The food doesn't even look good in pics to me!

 

[PlutosFriend]

I am another one who wasn't all that impressed with Le Cellier, and we had a really good server. The food was just OK. And yes, your steak does look lonely and tiny of that huge plate!

 

[DISNEYDUET]

[heatherlynn444]

ok, sorry this took so long!

DAY SIX 1/13
Dinner
Narcoossees!

ok, so this was by far our fav. meal of the trip,so glad it was the last night, it was a great way to top off our disneymoon! we had 7:00 ressies, but changed them b/c the saints/eagels playoof game was starting at 8, and I couldn't miss it! (yes I knwo I have issues hehe) we got there at about 5 till 6, and were seated right away. it was pretty empty in there. we got a seat by the window, and it still wasn't quite dark so we could see everything.
our server was a middle aged lady who was so sweet. we told her it was the last night of our honeymoon, and she brought us complementary champange. how nice! we ate some bread as we looked at the menu (which is really good bread!) and finally decided. Bobby ordered the crab cakes for apetizer and whole maine lobster for entree. I got some kind of cheese platter for apetizer and the filet mingon for entree. I told her i wanted the steak a little pink in the middle and she said they would butterfly it. I was hoping they would cook it right!

yay

our apetizers came very quickly. bobby said the crab cakes were really good, and well...i'm sure the cheese would be good to a normal non picky person,but i dont like weird stuff. i ate some of it that was good, but to me some of it just wasn't great. bobby liked it though.

whatever that bread stuff wa son the bottom rightr was really good though! as was whatever was covering the cheese on the bototm left!

crab cakes

our food cam eout in about 20 minutes or so, and bobby lobster was HUGE! it was 2 and 1/4 pounds, and bobby decided to name him stan. (i have no idea...) we both began to eat and MAN was it GOOD! I eat a lot of steak, and am very much a meat and potatoes girl, but this was amazing! whatever glaze they put on it was awesome! i usually get full quickly but i ate every bite!

yummy!

bobby and stan

it took bobby awhile to eat that massive thing, but he was determined. we don't drink much so bobby got a bit loopy on the champange...

oh yes, he played with the lobster claws. it was too cute! i couldn't stop laughing. i looked at my watch, it was 7:30 and we hadn't even ordered dessert! ok, so we ordered and went ahead and gave her our DP card to scan so we could leave when we were done. i got the sorbet and DH got the cheesecake (we wanted to share both)

very good, lots of fresh fruit. i think it was mango and cherry flavored?

i knwo its hard to see but they put a sugar sign thing on the back with the princesses dancing with their princes for our honeymoon. it was edible but not very good haha. but teh cheesecake...oh my gosh SO GOOD! if you lie cheesecake this is a must! we were so full but stuffed it in anyway! we left just as wishes was getting going and ran back to the main building and turned on the saints game. (which they won) so hands down, best meal of the trip!

GRADE:
Food: A ++++++!
Service: A+ she was so sweet and very informative.
atmosphere: A very cute place right on the water, great view esp. from window seat. got a little loud as we were leaving, there is no carpet, we thought it might help with teh noise! (like they would take my suggestion haha)
