I've had that before, I wouldn't be able to share it.the citricos crab gateau seemed like a spread (and something i'd have a hard time sharing with anyone!) - it sounded great!
No! I love to plan my vacation around the restaurants instead of the rides!
Sad?
Thanks for all your great reviews!
ok, where do i begin?? (loving these reviews, BTW!)

portobello soup at artiste pointe looked heavenly - big fan here of the mushroom!
i usually get a chopped salad (cobb, if available) wherever we eat, and the one you had at kona looked huge!!
my DH always gets the turkey dinner at LTT (during lunch) but he also loves pot roast, so i'm showing him your photo of it - maybe this trip he'll make a change! (it looked good!)
you're not alone: my disney trips have morphed over the years to one big "shop and dine" extravaganza!!!!
Sad?
Thanks for all your great reviews!
Now to Thursday and Citrico's. This was going to be my special birthday dinner. The service here was phenomenal! Tiffany took excellent care of me and her recommendations were spot on.
First, the gateau of crab. Instead of using breadcrumbs in the crabcake, they use cream cheese and another kind of cheese (I forget what she told me). The result is a very smooth crabcake that melts in your mouth.
I've never had shortribs so I thought now is the perfect time to try them! Their angus beef braised boneless short ribs. Oh so delicious! No knife needed to cut them. All this wonderfulness sitting on a bed of creamy mashed potatoes.
For dessert I selected the seasonal berries gratin with the champagne sauce.
This is how the dessert was presented:
This was some kind of light,frothy cream with berries. Very light and refreshing! This is a close-up of just the dessert:
Citrico's gets top marks in my book! Worth the trip to get there!
auntfrannie - Thanks for the review and pix from Artist Point; I somehow missed that post from last week. Anyway, looks good. I'm still on the fence about keeping that ressie. We're staying at the WL and it's for our first night. Problem is - I have AP vouchers and I want to have the DDE card to use for the dinner; which means we'll have to check in, go over to GS at MK and then back to WL for dinner. MK has late EMH that night, so we're planning on going back over after dinner. I have a feeling that once we get our AP passes we're just going to want to stay in MK. Mmmm - what to do?
One other question: I noticed you were celebrating your birthday. Was it your actual birthday or close? I'll be there at the end of June - three weeks BEFORE my birthday. My girls and I have never been at WDW this close to any of our birthdays and I thought it would be fun to celebrate it. Do you think they would have a problem with that?
However, when I go in Oct I am taking my Mother and she'll be celebrating her 76th birthday two weeks before we're there so we are officially celebrating her birthday while we're at Disney. There have been numerous threads about celebrating birthdays and the general consensus has been that it's up to you and what you want to do. No one asked to see proof of my bday when they gave me my birthday pin and other than getting lots of Happy Birthdays and candles in my desserts that day, it's not like you're getting anything extra that's putting anyone else out. Go, celebrate, have a great time!

Thanks for the tips, auntfrannie! Others have told me also to celebrate my birthday. I'm not looking for any special perks - thought it would be fun to do though!(once you're over 40, you look for any reason to make the celebration of another birthday enjoyable!
God those pics look yummy! And isn't Jiko just fabulous.
