All spiffed up for dinner we took the boat to Contemporary and the Monorail over to Grand Floridian. We thought we left with ample time to get there. Howerver, the Monorail was so packed with people leaving MK as the holiday party. We managed to make our 6:55 reservations at 7:10. Though we clean up well!!
I expected Narcoosee's to be similar to Citrico's, though the atmosphere felt more like higher end chain resteraunt then fine dinning. The food however, was completely fine dinning. We got started with a drink with Melissa picking a Borduex blend red while I went for a Smoked Dark and Stormy. The bread service was great....the salted butter went down well with us (likely due to all that time in the sun at MK)
Afterwards we split a calamari appetizer and a lobster bisque and wow where they so good.
For main courses I got the Scollops while Melissa opted for a Surf and Turf of Filet Minion and grilled Shrimp.
Those plates where clean when we where finished with them. The food had great flavor and textures as you would expect for finer dinning. We nearly skipped dessert till we saw this Almond cheese cake pass our table and had to have one. I paired it with a Dow's 20 year Tawny Port which Melissa finally got to experiece port with dessert (she has had port with me before, just not with a rich and creamy dessert which really changes the wines profile.)
Stuffed we left and waddled our way past the gingerbread house for some photos
We then caught the monorail back to the Contemporary and if we made it in time would head to the DVC louge to watch the holiday fireworks. We made it with just enough time for me to order us a night cap before the show started.
Happy we got to see both fireworks shows one way or another. We caught the last boat back to the RV and call it a night. It was a great last night together. Tuesday will be AK and her flight home and I am solo again.... But that is another post.
