Our prince and princess dinner (formal night) was in Animators Palate (so we would need to wait until the following night to see the restaurant "show").
Started off and my mom and dad decided to share a drink. The Tutti Frutti - Tequila, Midori Melon, Passionfruit puree and cranberry juice.
It was a very sweet drink.
For appetizers both my dad and I got Belle's Scallops (scallops and mushrooms in a white sauce).
These were good but not "blow your mind" good.
My mom order the cheese souffle
The verdict - weird, but good. It wasn't quite like quiche but similar.
Entree #1 - Parma Ham wrapped chicken breast
The chicken was moist and my mom really enjoyed the vegetables it was served with. The thin sliced roasted potatoes were very tender. I thought the meal looked dry when it came out but she said it was moist.
Entree #2
My dad ordered two portions of the Beef Wellington served medium (or maybe it was medium well?). When ordering he was a little
about the whole "wrapped in puff pastry with a cabernet truffle oil" thing. (he's much more of a meat and potato kind of guy). He ordered it because it truly was the only thing on the menu that really appealed to him. If he hadn't liked it he would have ordered the chicken but wouldn't have been really happy. Well, he loved it and ate both pieces and all of the sides.
Entree #3 - baked fillet of turbot with mashed potatoes
This entree was very "white". I was always taught that mains and sides should compliment each other and colour should be considered. That being said, it was a very good dish. Again the fish was tender and cooked properly and the mashed potatoes were to die for (smooth, rich and creamy). The sauce it was on was very rich and went well with both.
Entree #4 - Vegetable lasagna
This was so good. Simple, nice vegetable, rich cheese sauce and then it was sitting on a layer of chucky marinara. Of any dish I crave right now, it's this one (ironically the one I could probably replicate at home).
Desserts -
I'll admit, I was too full. I ate every bite of the two entrees and just couldn't fit anything else in.
My mom ordered the dessert trio (she wasn't really hungry, she just wanted to say she'd had dessert). I think she took maybe a bite of each one and that was it.
It was lemon cheesecake, chocolate souffle, and tiramisu.
My dad ordered the tiramisu (which is his all time favourite dessert - even above chocolate cake).
Maybe because it was "diet" but he found it very bland.
Dessert #2 for dad was the ice cream sundae
Overall, the food was good but this isn't a menu I'd rush back for. To me, I don't understand why this menu and the semi-formal night menu aren't switched (have this one on semi formal night and the other menu - which I consider fancier, on the formal night).
