This will be my first post on the boards. I've followed the unplugged podcasts for quite awhile. My time is due to participate.
My wife and I just returned from a trip to WDW. We try to make it our annual vacation. We started the tradition with our honeymoon in 2012. Having said that, another annual tradition we have is going to Victoria and Albert's for our last dinner. Eating their for our honeymoon was a life-changer. This meal alone is worth saving for every year. Despite this, I've never reviewed the place and have found myself forgetting some of the details from out first trip there. I want to share with you our experience and at the same time, catalog it for my future reference.
I hope everyone enjoys!
We dined here on 7/19/2014. The restaurant is located on the second floor of the Grand Floridian and is to the left of the band that plays on the floor and just before the entrance to Citricos (if I remember correctly). There are some unassuming doors that showcase the entrance to the restaurant. They must use facial recognition because we weren't 20 feet from the entrance and the doors are opened by two people who then flanked us as we entered to greet us. We were promptly seated in the dining room. Eating in this room is like taking a vacation from your vacation for a few hours. I don't have any pictures pertaining to the ambiance, but I'm sure there are many sources if you feel so inclined to find them. Below is a picture of the menu for the night.
You get to select 1 dish from each course. Here is how it progresses... You start with the amuse-bouche which is a 1 - 2 bite morsel to get your palate going. It's whatever the chef is making that day. The remaining dishes are cold appetizer, warm fish course, game course, main course, cheese course, and dessert. There is also the option of a caviar course and courses that have a supplemental price added to them.
There is a separate vegetarian menu for those who happen to require it. They are also extremely accommodating to anyone with dietary restrictions. A neighboring table had a laundry list of restrictions and the servers and chefs altered the menu for them.
Anyhow, on to the food...
