My husband and I were joined by his co-worker and his wife for dinner at bluezoo at the Dolphin Hotel.
I started with the Littleneck Clams Flatbread (freshly shucked, extra virgin olive oil, grated parmesan & fresh oregano). This was scrumptious and I would go back to bluezoo just to have this again. I gave everyone a piece and we all agreed it was amazing.
My husband had the Seared Jumbo Sea Scallops with braised beef short rib & silky cauliflower puree. He loved it. I tasted it but I didnt like it very much. The scallops seemed raw and the short rib wasnt that great. But my husband disagreed, he thought it was delicious.
The other couple had bluezoos New England Style Clam chowder (light & brothy with salt cured bacon & house-made oyster crackers) and the Garlic Roasted Jumbo Shrimp with creamy polenta and fennel butter. I didnt taste these but they loved their dishes.
They also ordered Littleneck clams, but the waitress brought them oysters instead and she insisted that they said oysters NOT clams.
But that wasnt true, no one ever even mentioned oysters. So she grudgingly took them back and brought back these teeny, tiny clams. They were the smallest clams we ever saw. We had a big laugh over that! 
For my entrée I had the Simply Fish (mahi mahi grilled on the teppanyaki grill with warm crabmeat sauce). I didnt like. The fish wasnt cooked enough for me and the sauce tasted very fishy.
My husband had the two-pound Maine Cantonese Lobster, fried and tossed in sticky soy glaze. He enjoyed it very much. I tasted it and it was just ok.
We shared the Lobster Broccoli Stuffed Cheddar Potato. We both agreed it was tasteless. It sounded a lot better than it tasted.
The other couple had the Surf and Turf (broiled 8-ounce beef tenderloin, butter poached lobster tail, three-way celery, porcini cream) AND the Flame Grilled Tenderloin of Beef Filet (horseradish fingerling potatoes, charred frisee salad and balsamic veal jus). The both raved over their food and said it was fantastic.
My dessert wasnt that great. I had some type of key lime tart. It was just ok. My husband had some chocolate thing (it was just average) and the other couple had delicious sorbet which they loved.
I was a little disappointed in bluezoo, but I would like to give it another try. I really loved that Littleneck Clams Flatbread! It might be a long time before we try it again, though. There are so many great restaurants to try in Disney World and so little time! Besides, bluezoo is very expensive and they dont accept any discount cards (DDE, AP or DVC) so I think before I go back I will try Jiko at the Animal Kingdom Lodge (I have been trying to eat there for years, but it never worked out).
