Check-in was slightly bumpy at OKW, but pretty soon we were at our room and lugged all our stuff up to the second floor of our building. We didn't do much unpacking since we wanted to get to Hollywood Studios for the day. We spent a few hours there, but didn't get to do much because it was pretty packed. Eventually we were hungry and the food there doesn't interest us too much, so we headed to DTD.
I figured we would probably end up at WPE for this meal, but decided to walk around and check out our other options. We had Raglan Road reservations for another day, but we were walking by right when they were changing over to dinner for the day and there was no wait, so we decided to eat here.
Their outdoor menu sign. I love this as opposed to the little printed menus some places post near the door.
We were seated right away and our super friendly waitress came right over and took our drink orders. Rob started out with a beer.
And then another beer later on.
She also brought out Irish Soda bread with the Guinness and sugar dipping sauce.
This was so good! We ate most of the bread. The dipping sauce went with it perfectly.
Rob wanted to try two items off the appetizer menu instead of an entree. First he tried their soup of the day which was a mushroom soup.
He loved it! It was a really large portion too.
Next he tried the Nom Nom Wings. Sweet 'n spicy wings tossed in a honey, chili flake, soy and ginger sauce.
He was worried that this might only be 4 or 5 wings as an appetizer, but our waitress said that you got a lot. As you can see from the picture, it was definitely a lot of wings. They were pretty large as well. Rob really enjoyed these too. He was happy he went with the two appetizers as his meal.
I was torn between two different items and asked the waitress for advice. She liked both but swayed me a little towards the Gnocchi Sea Gnocchi Do. Homemade gnocchi with seared scallops and crispy pork belly sauteed in a tomato, broad bean and braised kale white wine butter sauce.
This. Was. AMAZING. I'm pretty certain that this is now the best thing I have ever eaten. Everything about it was phenomenal. The scallops were cooked perfectly, the pork belly was so good with the kale and the gnocchi just melted in your mouth. I am seriously drooling as I type this.
Every time I would take a bite I would tell Rob, "Oh my God, this is so good!" According to our waitress this was a fairly new item at the time. I hope they keep it on the menu because I have to have this again next time.
Obviously I hated it.
Then I decided to try and stuff some dessert in me too because I had to try Ger's Bread & Butter Pudding. They were out of this when we ate here 4 years ago and I have been dying to try it ever since.
Once it is out of the cup it expands to about 3 times the size you think it is going to be. Then I covered it with the sauces they give you.
This is just about equal to 'Ohana bread pudding. I hate raisins and I wish it didn't have raisins in it, but I can deal. Take out the raisins and it's perfect! This was sooooo rich and Rob didn't want any, so I tried to eat this on my own. I got to a point where I would risk vomiting if I took another bite. I almost took that risk, but I finally put the silverware down and left the rest of the bread pudding behind. Seemed wrong, but I didn't think it would keep well, so I didn't box it up and take it with me. This dessert was awesome, but it really needs to be shared.
This was my second favorite meal of the trip and my entree here was my favorite dish overall this trip, or any trip for that matter.
We were stuffed and happy, so of course we went to see another movie!
Up next, late night dinner and a seasonal movie classic!

: Actually, the pot roast sandwich looks pretty darn good too!
Been lurking for awhile and love your food porn and the report so far. My fam and I have been trying to hit Beaches & Cream for the past 3 trips and have never hit it right (ALWAYS a 2-hour wait after some awful transportation issues each time 
) - with that being said, after seeing the pot roast sandwich and the burger, we are definitely going in 2015.
