So we left Epcot and drove back to Old Key West.
We took showers, relaxed a little and then hopped in the car to driveto the Yacht Club where we would be having dinner this evening at the Yachtsman Steakhouse.
We parked the car and took our time as we were early and knew from past experience that we would not be seated right at our time (although there are usually tables available).
Once we reached the hostess desk, we gave our name and then had a seat until they called us for our table.
We were called about ten minutes later and the hostess started to walk us to our table. I could tell by the direction we were headed and the table we passed, that we were going to be seated by a table of 8 people. I was NOT happy about this at all because I knew who those 8 people were. They were the 8 people waiting with us who had two kids who were climbing over the furniture in the waitng area, screaming at the top of their lungs, while the parents/grandparents totally ignored them. Not my idea of a nice anniversary dinner. I asked if we could wait until something else opened up and they said we might have to wait a bit and I told them that was fine. We went back and sat down and waited.
I want to say it was only another five minutes before they took us to a new table which was off in it's own little alcover with only four tables in it. The other three tables were filled, but it was parents with older kids and they were all very quiet.
Soon our waitress came over and brought us our very special "anniversary" menus. I thought this was very sweet of them.
Mark ordered a glass of Reisling
And I ordered one of their delicious Pina Coladas
Our waitress took our orders and then brought us our bread. I could just sit and eat the onion bread ALL NIGHT LONG:
We didn't order any appetizers this time because we knew how full it made us when we were there in April.
Soon enough our entrees arrived:
Mark ahd the filet with mashed potatos:
And I had the strip with a baked potato:
Let me just say that everything was absolutely perfect...cooked exactly the way we like it. We will definitely be back to Yachtsman. It blows LeCellier out of the water.
While we were dining, our new DIS friends also came in to dine and they came over to say hello to us and offered to take a picture of Mark and I having our special anniversary dinner:
We were too full for dessert, but our waitress brought us an anniversary dessert.
I believe it may have been the Dessert Sampler Platter but couldn't say for sure. Mark tried a little of each but was not impressed.
After we settled up our tab, we went over to our DIS friends table to be sure they were being well taken care of. And, of course, we had to have a picture:
Sorry about the pictures...most of them are bad because I didn't want to use a flash in the restaurant.
After we left Em and Brenda, we decided to try to walk off our dinner and took a stroll to the Boardwalk.
A few pictures along the way:
As we were walking over the bridge to the Boardwalk, Illuminations had started:
We browsed in the shops. And you all know by now what happens when we browse in shops:
As we passed here
Mark could smell the smells coming out of the open door and decided he had to have a peek. Well a peek turned into a purchase and we found a bench outside while he ate his treat
After Mark finished his treat, we slowly walked back to the Yacht Club to retrieve our car and drive back to Old Key West.
One last picture on the way:
I think we were back in the room and in bed by 10:30.
Up next, a Wednesday with no park time?
