Friday night...Arrived at WDW about 8, had PS for FF at nine but were seated by 8:30. Sat at the show bar again. There is no way I can describe the food adequatly. Wife had the grilled Wahoo over fresh tomato risotto. This was very flavorful in a way that I can describe as "jumps at you", not hot spicy, but colorful, can we say? I had the Pan Seared Tile fish over a corn relish. This was great but opposite of my wifes fish as the flavors were delicate, but there nonetheless. My oldst daughter had the Chared NY Strip (so I had a bit of all three entree's). The Strip was FABULOUS! It is so tender (extraordianary for a strip) and the flavors jump in your mouth like an alka seltzer cocktail! A+
Saturday lunch. We ate at Flame Tre Babeque at AK. It was very good for fast food. We ordered two rib meals (and shared) using the AK meal deal coupons (which in essence give you a free soda and ice cream for basically the same prce as your meal would cost ala carte). The ribs were surprisingly meaty and very flavorful. It was a good choice. B
Saturday night dinner. Boma. One of our favorites and it didn't diappoint again, although I found the prime rib lacking this time. Everything else, especially the soups & zebra domes were great. B+.
Sunday lunch. 50's Prime Time. What fun this place is...Although for the price I was certainly wishing we'd had tried Brown Derby. Wife had the Pot Pie and raved about it. Daughter had the Turkey sandwich and deemed it very good. My Steak sandwich while flavorful was a bit fatty and left me wishing I'd ordered something else. Great place for the fun and atmosphere but I'm not sold on consistent food quality having only eaten there 2 or 3 times. B-
Sunday Dinner. Jiko at AK. Wife & I had an evening to ourselves and decded to try Jiko. Not being hungry she shared the 5 African Bread & dipping sauce appetizer with me & had the house salad. We liked the bread & sauces although after they brought more bread that was included with the meal we realized we should have tried someting else. Wifes salad was good, but not great as the fruit dresing was overwhelming. I had the Filet over mac & cheese. This was very tasty. The steak was done to perfection & very flavorful, The M&C is not typical as it blends with the wine sauce that accompanies the steak. As Filet is not my favorite steak (odd, I know) this meal didn't blow me away...Maybe I should have tried the Monk Fish (next time) but still the quality of the service and the product we were served shows undeniable quality. My rating has it straddling an
A-/B+...
Monday Lunch. Columbia Harbor House. We had the Fried Fish meal. Nothing to write home about. Daughter had the salad and again the dressing was overpowering. We probably won't be returning here. C
That's it for now. Bon apetit!
