Thursday-4/12-first a few counter service comments: We seldom sit down for breakfast or lunch, so a quick bite at the parks or resort will have to do. I am happy to report that im my opinion the quality of CS meals at WDW has improved to an above average level.
We ate at Pizzafari, Sunshine Seasons food fair, and Columbia Harbor House-All were pretty food with the fish at Columbia becoming a fast favorite. Also, I must report the food at Capt. Cooks was actually very good-stirfry noodles, club and pork sandwiches all very good.And the baked goods at the Poly in general all very good. Really no complaints for CS stops for the first time ever.
Wolfgang Pucks Cafe- Downtown Disney: Let me first say that while many people love DD, We find it very inconvient from the monorail resorts and parks(and expensive if going by taxi); unless going to Circus Solei, not worth it for our family.
Onto the food-always wanted to try Pucks and immediately felt comfortable in the upscale casual atmosphere. Started with the wine list which was somewhat blah and settled on an overprices Cambria Chard. DW had an average mixed green salad and I a really nice lamb curry soup. Service seemed a bit uneven, which is something I dont usually comment on with WDW restaurants unless very agregious. Not terrible here so lets press on.
Entrees were Cheeze ravioli for DD-liked it; DW had macadamia crusted chicken(not Wolfgangs recipe, but the resident chefs we were told) actually very good for a chicken dish. I had the deluxe chefs sushi/sashimi sampler which was fine. Ended sharing a nondescript key lime pie.
In summary, not a bad meal and if DD is on your agenda Pucks is worth a try. Probably not a repeat visit for us though. Next installment O'hana character breakfast and Le Cellier.
