What to order at Ariel's Grotto?

[Ashlotte]

Anyone have any good or bad entree stories to share? Just curious to hear what is tasty and what to avoid. Thanks!

I really liked the redfish meal and the cioppino.
They were both really good.

I agree-my brother, Dad, and I had the cioppino last month and it was delicious-much better than we expected for a theme park. It did have a bit of spice to it (which we all LOVED) but FYI.

DBF loves the cioppino, he orders it every time. I've had the tri-tip and the chicken and both were excellent choices, as was DBF's cioppino, I'd just rather have tri-tip or chicken.

Dh had tri-tip, I had red fish. Both were very good.
Honestly, since they changed their menu, I have yet to read a bad review in regards to the food.
So I think you are pretty safe ordering what ever entree your taste buds are up for.

Oh and my kids had the chicken skewer things, they both liked them. I tasted them and also thought they were good.

I had and loved the pasta dish. DH had the chicken and he thought it was okay, but nothing special.

Go for breakfast and remove the need to make a decision!

Cioppino - sorry to sound silly but what is this?

We had the tri tip when we went, I thought it was good, but dry.

Ohhhhh the pasta!!!! I had that the first time we ate there after they changed the menu. It was delish!!!!!

Cioppino is fish stew, it's very good.

It is a fish stew with a broth like base with large pieces of fish and shellfish. A bit spicy for some but it really is very good when someone knows how to make it. Usually served with crusted bread.

I'm vegetarian, so I ordered the Spinach and Ricotta Agnolotti when we went in October. I wasn't crazy about it (but I also don't like spinach lol!) but the broth it was in had a good flavor. I didn't eat enough of it to be full, but honestly, I didn't need that much since I'd already picked off of the antipasti tray.

Thanks Jack and Pixiewings - sounds great. I will have to add it to my list of must-eats.

Yes the cioppino was great! That is what I ordered, but can't remeber what DH and DS ordered. I think DS had prime rib or some sort of steak. It was really good also, but apparently not as good as my cioppino since I can't remember it.

DS probably had the tri tip, I don't think there are 2 beef choices on the menu. The Tri Tip was delish!!! DD13 loved it, she ate every bite, except the few I took from her plate.

I've been there for both breakfast and lunch.

To me, the breakfast wasn't as worth it to me.

I prefer going for lunch and getting the chicken, I LOVED the chicken!

I keep seeing suggestions to go for breakfast, but that's not an option on the DL website. Is it only a high-season thing?

That is odd. If your looking to book I would just call. Perhaps the website got overlooked.

 

[kandsadie]

Cool, I'll ask when I call. Had I not see it here, I wouldn't have known it was a possible option. Of course I also would not have know it was in CA, I thought it was in DL.

Duh.
