LARRY & MICHELLE CONGRATULATIONS!!!! I wish you a happy life filled with lots of love, laughter and trips to Disney

Thanks for the reviews - I just finished reading them. I have been eager to try Yak and Yeti and after reading this I am really looking forward to it. I also love lettuce cups/wraps so I will be ordering this for sure!

You two are an adorable couple! Thanks again for your great reviews!

For our entrees we both ordered the Grilled Rib Eye Steak. Larry wasn’t happy with the presentation of the steak. He didn’t like everything piled on top of it. Sorry that we did not get any pictures of either steak. We spent too much time talking about his steak. He finally got the greens and potatoes off of the steak and got into his steak, which wasn’t appealing at all. It took a while to get the attention of our server who wasn’t very attentive in the first place. Larry tried a bite of my steak while waiting for the server to notice him. He loved mine. His was just a bad piece of steak. He told the server when he finally came that it had a bad flavor and texture. The server asked if he wanted the same thing or something else because he wouldn’t like the same thing since it is marinated. By then I was getting antsy and fussy. He was basically arguing with Larry saying he just didn’t like the taste of the marinade, not that it was just a bad steak. Hey it does happen. We weren’t upset over that fact, but we did get upset over the fact that the server wasn’t polite and wasn’t listening. Finally I stepped in and told him it was a bad steak, a bad cut of meat that it does happen. So he finally agrees to order Larry a new steak. Who knew it would be so dang difficult?!!? The second steak was perfect.

I loved your reviews they were excellent! I also have to tell you that a very similar thing happened to us a couple of years ago at BD! I ordered the Grouper & DH did also. Mine was perfect, but when he took a bite of his, he spit it out & said it tasted gross. So I took bite just to be sure & it was absolutely bad. I mean really nasty tasting! So we called the server over & same exact thing! "I'm sorry grouper is not to your liking sir, can I get you something else?" Now mind you, we have family spread out all over Florida & we've been there many times & have had grouper so we KNOW what it should taste like. We kept insisting that it was bad, not that he didn't like grouper. We finally got him to agree to a new piece, but unfortunately that was bad too.

When we called the server over a second time, he seemed to be getting frustrated with US like we didn't know what we were talking about. He asked to get DH something else, but at this point the rest of us were all done eating so DH said, "never mind just get us the check". So now the manager & server come over trying to insist that DH get something to eat on the house, but we just wanted to leave. They also still kept insisting that grouper was just not to my DH's liking. If they just admitted that yes it was bad, because like you said, it does happen & apologized it would've been fine, but their patronizing tone embarrassed my DH in front of my sister & her DH & it has kept him from ever wanting to eat there again. I can see their attitude hasn't a changed a bit, so I don't think we'll be eating there again anytime soon.

Sorry didn't mean to hijack! Just had to let you know, you weren't alone in that BD experience!

For our appetizers Larry ordered the Crab Cakes and I ordered the Crispy Duck Roll. Both of these were nice starters. Larry says the crab cake wasn’t as good as it should have been and the breading wasn’t very good. The dipping sauce with mine was great.

Four our entrees Larry ordered the Steamed Whole Maine Lobster and I ordered the Grilled Filet. Larry isn’t really a fan of lobster but thought he would give it a try. He said it was the best lobster he had ever had. It was very, very rich. My filet was good, nothing outstanding.

Just before desserts the lights dimmed for Wishes. It was amazing to see Wishes again while dining. We snuggled and enjoyed it.

For dessert we were torn. I wanted to try the Almond-crusted Cheesecake that I had read so much about here on the boards but at the same time I really wanted to try the Key Lime Crème Brulee.

This was my meal at Narcoossee's, YUM!!!!! Thanks so much for sharing your reviews with us and I wish you & Larry many wonderful years together!

You are so sweet! Thank you! I hope you love Yak & Yeti as much as we did. How far away is your next trip? I'd love to hear how their lettuce cups compare to the others you have tried. I've never tried them here at home yet but if they are that good I will have to.

Not a hijack at all. I think it is great to share all of our experiences. Wonder if you had the same guy we had. Last time I ate there with my sisters I had plastic in my salad and they were trying to say it was the way the lettuce was cut, it was the Cobb salad, was looking like lettuce. Sorry but I know the difference. I know what she was trying to say it was because I could pull it off a piece of lettuce to show her but the texture was different between that and the plastic. As soon as I bit down I knew it was plastic, not lettuce. Guess we won't be going back there either. Sorry your husband was embarrassed.
