We ended the day at my favorite park in the world by eating at Teppan Edo. When we came last year this restaurant was closed - I believe for renovation - so we didn't get the chance to eat here. When we began going through possible reservation choices this one was a no brainer for us - we love us some teppan grill 
I have to admit that once again I was a bad girl and did not take any pictures
So, I will try to move this one along quickly in order to get to a future update that includes some eye candy 
Candi started with the Sushi Sampler - $9.50 - not included on the meal plan
This would be a first for Candi as he had never had sushi before, which was the main reason he ordered the sampler. It included 5 pieces of sushi - tuna, yellow tail, shrimp nigiri and 2 pieces of the California roll. He was most excited about the California roll because so many people had told him it was the best kind of sushi. For him this would not be the case, in fact, it was his least favorite of them all
His favorite was the tuna followed by the yellow tail and then the shrimp. At this point he had not had any sushi to compare it to, but enjoyed it a lot and declared himself a sushi lover 
I took very tiny bites of each kind and disliked them all 
For my appetizer I had the edamame - $4.50
Now, ya'll are probably gonna laugh your pants off, but I had no idea that these were soy beans. I had only seen a picture of them and thought they were a version of snap peas - my favorite if ya remember Well, sitting at a table full of strangers when you try to eat soy beans as such is quite embarrassing considering you are not supposed to eat the "pod" part 
Oh, the empty bowl you brought me is for after I eat the beans out of the pod I must admit I did not enjoy them at all, but it is probably due to the fact that they weren't what I thought they were. Candi was too busy laughing at me to try them so he has no opinion on them 
For his main course Candi had the filet mignon - $29.95
This was absolutely delicious - he said it was cooked perfectly and had the perfect amount of spices and flavor. I had a bite and would have to agree. We go to teppan grill places all the time and this steak is definitely one of the best we have had!
I had the Nihonboshi (chicken and steak combo) - $28.95
I believe this steak was a New York steak and although it was good, it just didn't compare to the filet mignon that Candi had. No worries, I ordered it mainly for the chicken because I had eaten so much steak up to this point
Oh my goodness - this chicken was heavenly It was cooked to absolute perfection and had amazing flavor. I am not kidding when I say that I have never had chicken that tasted this good anywhere!!
Both entrees came with vegetables, steamed rice and noodles. All was very tasty but I wish they had fried rice
Somebody at our table said it was because fried rice isn't actually a japanese dish and, although I appreciate this, I still missed it 
To drink we had an iced tea and a diet coke - $2.95 each
We both skipped dessert - nothing sounded very appealing and we were completely stuffed.
Upon leaving the restaurant we walked out and saw this
We just so happened to finish eating as the fireworks show was beginning
We stayed at the top of the stairs and enjoyed the show from the balcony area.
This was completely unplanned and the perfect way to end our night
Our Overall Thoughts On Teppan Edo:
LOVED IT!! The service was amazing - they are so respectful and polite - everyone from the hostesses to the waiters to the cooks. They all make you feel like you are eating dinner at your own home and are definitely there to make you happy. The food was outstanding - some of the best we had all week. And to top it all off our cook was top notch - not only was the food excellent but she was full of energy, singing and telling jokes and making sure that all the food was cooked exactly how we wanted it. Teppan Edo is definitely on our "must do" list - quite possibly every time we come back!

Candi chose the danish which he said was perfect - nice and flaky on the outside but soft on the inside. He granted me one teeny, tiny bite and it wasn't even with the middle filling but it was definitely yummy! My blueberry muffin was delicious - tasted very fresh with no stale parts and tons of large blueberries within the muffin.

Welp, we were too darn tired to even think about doing a sit-down lunch and dinner. I called and cancelled our WCC reservation and decided we would see how we felt after a nap. In the end we decided to get us a snack to hold us over.
I could tell from how loud the snoring was in our room that Candi was straight out exhausted - probably a combo of travel day and humidity. I wasn't that tired but just didn't feel too much like getting all dressed up for our planned Artist Point reservation. While he continued to sleep I got online and decided that if I could switch the reservation to what was supposed to be our "free day" that I would make tonight our "free day" instead.
