Love your reviews! Our last visit to HBD was a bit less than spectacular (it has always been great otherwise) but I still love that cobb salad!
 
LOVE LOVE LOVE your reviews!
Not only are they informative, but hilarious too! :thumbsup2

I also have to say, you sound like such an upbeat and fun person--sometimes I get tired or reading all the negative reviews (especially when I KNOW I'd love to eat what they had!)--so it's so nice to read your's! Excellent job and thank you so much for taking the time to do this!

Oh man, I'm totally a fan of living, so why not live life happily right??? ;)

And that's EXACTLY the reason you will rarely hear downers come out of my mouth! I :love: reading positive reviews! I mean, yes, not everything will turn out the way we want, but that's life!

And I love reliving my meals!!! Wishing I could go back soon!

Funny thing with that particular pic...as soon as I took it, I dripped it all down the front of my brand new Epcot sweatshirt. That's when my DH said, "Disney alcohol taking its effect already?" I was like, "Uh...nope, its the first one of the day." He was like, "Overly excited?". My response, "Yep, always excited over the adult Disney drinks."

After that convo...I was realizing that Disney is not stingy withe their alcohol content because by Canada I had a HUGE grin on my face...that is, unless I am seriously turning into a lightweight. :lmao:

They honestly aren't stingy at all..which can be good or bad...I prefer good though!:lmao:

Oh, no lightweights allowed on this thread!!! :rotfl2: Lol! Jk!!

Ohh - glowing drinks with Vodka, now you are talking :cool1:

I know...I think this is the epitome of happiness! Disney + Glowing Vodka = One SERIOUSLY happy chick! :cool1:

Great review, never really looked into HBD tbh. Loving that Glowing Cocktail, you just know its going to be good when it glows :)

I took the glow cube with me, so now whenever I make a drinky at home, I throw it in, and voila! A Disney Drink instantly! :laughing:

Love the review!! Who doesn't love glowy drinks with Vodka- crazies that's who!!LOL

:rotfl2: Right???!! :laughing:

Love the reviews. Thanks for giving us photos of the restaurant interiors. Those are nice to see if it's a restaurant we haven't been to yet. Looking forward to the rest of your report.

I love seeing the inside of restaurants! So I figured, maybe there are others out there that wanna see it too, you know?

Love your reviews! Our last visit to HBD was a bit less than spectacular (it has always been great otherwise) but I still love that cobb salad!

Oh no!!! How unfortunate!...but the cobb salad is genius right?

Great reviews! I'm signing on for the remainder :)

YAY! Hello and Welcome!! :hippie:
 
Thats it, the next trip we take I am adding AP in...there have been so many amazing reviews lately and yours was the clincher!

Aww glad you like my Pre-TR! I was debating about doing a full TR :confused3...I do have TONS of pics and I did order my Photopass CD with lots of stuff on there to...so maybe, perhaps..

Tony's Town Square.....right....NOW!
 
Ciao Bella/Bello!

So this was our first meal EVER at the Magic Kingdom!!! And I was ECSASTIC! We spend LOTS of time here so why not freaking eat here, right???

So after exploring the park for a few hours, we arrived at Tony’s about 5 mins before our ADR time at 12:20pm, checked in and seated us right away! YAY! :cool1:

Here’s the Lobby…sorry literally no time for other pics!

100_1040.jpg


I love, love, LOVE Lady and the Tramp! Anyone hear the song Lady by Kenny Rogers? Heart it! So this restaurant was right up my alley! Not much going on as far as décor, but there are pictures around the place of scenes from Lady and the Tramp which was really cute! Oh and there is a fountain featuring the leading lady and her man in the middle of the restaurant, but alas no pic of that!

100_1046.jpg


This seriously CANNOT be my only pic of the restaurant!!!

100_1047.jpg


Wow you guys :sad2: …I’m so ashamed of myself!!! Total let down…Lol!

OH and I must apologize in advance for the crappy pictures on this meal! I only had my little point and shoot with me for some reason! This is definitely amateur food porn I’m afraid! :scared1:

The Appetizers:

I had the Calamari – tossed with Olive Relish and served with a side of marinara sauce ~9.99

100_1041.jpg


It was super tasty! I’ve had some crappy cal before, but this was great! Not too greasy!

DH had the Butternut Squash Soup ~ 5.49

100_1042.jpg


What the frick!? (Chris Kattan as Mango, SNL) Disney chefs have got all the soups down!!! This was sooo good!!! Doesn’t look like much, but goodness gracious! Now, I’m not saying it’s better then Artist Points Portobello Mushroom Soup by any means, but this soup is really good! Our waiter said it was a seasonal soup, so it may not be there by the time you go and try it, but definitely ask!

By the way, our waiter was AH-MAZING! Never once did we ask for anything! He was on us like white on rice! We would not even be halfway done with our sodas (2.69 @ 2) when he would bring us our refill and he did this three times! He was awesome! Snaps to him!

The Entrees:

Pretty much any Italian restaurant I go to , I ALWAYS get Spaghetti and Meatballs…and Tony’s was no exception! I don’t know why I do that! Lol! DH HATES when I order that! But I know what I like so BACK OFF!
Spaghetti with choice of meatballs or sweet Italian sausage in marinara sauce ~ 16.99

100_1043.jpg


Really no one can ruin S&M for me (LOL! Omgosh I don’t mean S&M like the kinky S&M, but Spaghetti and Meatballs! Get your mind of the gutter…that’s right, I’m talking to YOU!) LOL!...ah, anyways….

DH ordered the Eggplant Catasta (Stack) – layers of eggplant, caramelized onions, fresh mozzarella, and parmesan with marinara sauce over penne pasta ~ 15.99

100_1044.jpg


Doesn’t look like much, but it’s great! We both are huge fans of eggplant and DH likes Penne pasta so this was a match made in heaven! Oh see the bread on the plate… DON’T EAT IT! Unless you want to chip a tooth then go right ahead…its super dry! Gnarly! But really, with the pasta dishes do we really need all these carbs!?! Ugh, someone stop me! The health lady is coming out to play! :lmao:

The Desserts:

I’m a Crème Brulee freak, so naturally I went with it! Pistachio Crème Brulee sereved with strawberries~ 5.99

100_1045.jpg


Why was this the best CB I’ve had the entire trip??? I mean this thing was gone within seconds of taking this pic! I swear! DH was like, WTH where did it all go!? Lol! No crème brulee for you! :laughing:

DH wasn’t too hungry so he ordered the Gelato – Italian style icecream, chocolate or vanilla ~ 4.49

No pic, because it’s literally ice cream…well actually you can see it in my horrific “seating” pic…here I’ll repost it again! Haha!

100_1047.jpg


Ha and you can see DH’s refill! :rotfl2:

For those using the Deluxe Dining Plan, they take 1 credit per person because it’s a Table service restaurant, so it’s 2 credits total.

For those paying OOP, here was our total with 2 non-alcoholic beverages, 2 appetizers, 2 entrees, 2 desserts, and tax: $68.51

Overall, I was pleased with this place! I would say the census for Tony's on the DIS is really about 50%. I’m always either reading how disgusto this place is or how yummy it is!

Will my next trip have Tony’s on my ADR list? Probably not…but remember this was my first restaurant in the MK, and I’m an explorer! I want to see what else MK has to offer. So this doesn’t mean I’m scratching Tony’s off my list!

Buona sera! (Goodbye)…oh and no I don’t speak Italian…let's all give a big round of applause for my partner, wikihow.com, on helping me today with the two phrases of Italian for my review! :woohoo: :yay: :rotfl:
 
Mmmmm... creme brulee, if it's on the menu I'm ordering it! I was a little worried about a pistachio flavor, but I think you sold me on it being your favorite of the trip. Keep the desserts coming! (oh, and the food too)
 
Your reviews are fantastic. I work with a guy who also speaks in movie quotes. His favorites are from any Adam Sandler movies or Wedding Crashers.
Btw, we live about 20 minutes from the original Yuengling brewery. When we took my dad to WDW in 2006 many of the CMs were surprised that he could pronounce "Yuengling" correctly. He loves their lager.
Looking forward to reading the rest of your reviews!
 
For some reason I remember white table cloths on all the tables at Tony's...though I really think I prefer it without them!
 
Another awesome installment, chickie :cool1:

1.) We ate at Tony's in 2005 and it was terrific. There was no one in there when we went at lunch either :confused3 I am not sure why its a 50/50 split when it comes to who loves it and who doesn't, but I am in the top 50 (the ones who like it LOL). Glad you guys had a wonderful experience.

2.) Creme Brulee....ohhh, a girl after my own heart. Love creme brulee. Can't get enough of it.

Can't wait for Narcoossee's!!! popcorn::
 
thanks for your tony's review. doesn't sound too spectacular to us (we'll be paying OOP.) now, Brown Derby is sounding better all the time (for when we're on the DDP).

thanks again!
 
Thanks for showing all the cuteness that is the interior of Tony's! We didn't eat table service at MK because nothing really stood out as superior food based on DIS reviews, but the cute decor (and my love of Lady and the Tramp) might make it worthwhile. How badly can you screw up spaghetti anyways? :upsidedow (and it sure looked yummy in your picture!)
 
Loving your update. I like Tony's I find it rather quaint to eat in :) Yummy looking Creme Brulee and Strawberries :)
