great reviews & pics. THanks for adding the cost of 07 v 08... it's nice to see it written down.

I am loving your reviews...

Most of your comments really sum up the way we feel about the 2008 DDP. Take away a huge benefit that amounts to about $20 per person per day, cause the dining to have OOP costs while on vacation, and only lower the price by 1 measly dollar. The whole thing reeks like yesterday's garbage.

I'm not sure we will be using it on our next trip (whenever that may be).

Keep up the reviews and pictures!

Great review and pictures! Really enjoyed reading it so far.

Maybe you can answer this question for me about Crystal Palace, maybe not, but I figured it was worth a try to ask. I like prime rib, but I have to have mine well done. The mere sight of rare or even pink meat makes me queasy. Do you happen to know if they also offered prime rib on the well done side? Or if you could ask for a serving of it to be cooked more for you? Thanks in advance!

Hi Sorcerer!

My Dad's the same way. He could only eat meat if it was very well done. (Odd, when you consider that he was a butcher. )

IIRC, they sliced it on the spot, so I think it was all about the same. But the staff seemed very accomodating, and I bet if you asked them to take it back and cook you some a little longer, they'd do it.

After seeing that picture of the cheese plate at Narcoossee's I sure wish I'd gone ahead and ordered it with a nice glass of port. D'OH, D'OH D'OH!!!

Love your reviews - they're very informative and well done!

When we at there in Sept I asked for it well done and she put a couple pieces on the grill for me

That makes it even better!

So gald you're feeling better and made it back to finish up your reviews. What a disappointing experience at Narcoossee's. To me, the signature restaurants should be a memorable experience for a ll the right reasons - and not the wrong ones. Although it does sound like you had an 'off' server rather than there being anything particularly wrong with the food

Sorry about your experience at Narcoossee's; it was one of our favorite meals on our trip last month. Natalie was our server and she was fantastic--we did not get the feeling at all that it mattered that we were on DDP. We got the surf and turf and when DH thought his filet tasted "off", they immediately brought him a whole new plate with more cheesy potatoes and asparagus, too! Turned out it was the antibiotics DH had taken the week before, and reportedly don't have side effects for 5-10 days afterwards, so the steak was actually fine. Would have been nice to know that when they were prescribed! Our server was very gracious throughout. I had the almond cheesecake like you did and it was out of this world; I'm so sorry you didn't get to enjoy it at the restaurant.

We would not be able to swing this meal either without DDP; it was $215 for 2 adults and 1 child, plus we got a Cindy's slipper for DD6, which was $14ish plus tax/tip. I'll have to say, she ate it and some of her DDP dessert, too!

Good reviews, keep 'em coming!

What AWESOME reviews!

Thanks for the pics and the detail descriptions of your experiences.

Look forward to reading more.

I'm just loving your reviews. I too love CHH. The hummus sandwich is the best with the tuna coming a close second. Can't wait to read more.
