I am so jealous! I had decided before our last visit to JIKO that I would get the halibut but somehow I decided to see what all the fuss was about the filet. I'm still wondering, wasn't impressed...that halibut looks so GOOD!!!!!!! Isn't it fun to sit at "the cooking place"!!!!!!
I don't see what the fuss is about the fillet either, so I didn't order it. I guess it's more "popular" signature, than awesome signature. How wast that mac & cheese though? I do want to try that some time.
Mmmm... you have me thinking that I should try to fit Jiko in on my upcoming trip. Looks delish!!
Too funny on your meal stalker!
A to-go bag for your unfinished wine... brilliant idea!!
I hope you do try Jiko! It was really nice and my favorite of the trip.
Your meal looked good, although I am with the other majority on eating Ostrich I'm afraid. I like the idea of where you were sitting though
The cooking place was a great place to sit, especially solo. I guess with one other person it would be nice, but more than that would be a pain. I've read some people just pop in there, no ADRs and are able to grab a meal there.
That dessert is quite tasty, I'll agree.
Tasty and tart.
I haven't tried Jiko yet but this looks amazing
I hope you get to try it sometime, totally worth the money.
Yum, fab review of Jiko
Thanks!
I agree that the lemon meyer curd dessert is so delicious and probably the best dessert I've had at WDW. Of course, I also don't like overly sweet desserts so that might have something to do with it.
Ah, an anti-sweet solemate. It seems like too many disney desserts are all sugar, blerg...
Great review - Glad to see such a glowing review of Jiko's. I'm eating there solo in about 3 weeks.
Can I ask about the seating - are they tall chairs at the cooking place where you were seated? One of things I hate about being solo is they try to seat you at the bar but my short little legs and my big butt just don't get along well with tall bar chairs.
The chairs are tall. I'm quite the shorty myself and I got up there OK, but there isn't a ton of butt room.
We are eating at Jiko a week from tonight! Thanks for the review! That dessert looks delicious!
I hope you have a great meal!
I love that you had a meal stalker.
When I got to the dessert photo, I thought it looked like a sour cream ice cream "bunny" sitting on top of one of the ghosts that chases Pac Man.
Paging Dr. Freud...
What have you been drinking, and have you brought enough to share with the whole class?
I love your review of Jiko. I cannot wait to try it in January.
Thanks for reading and enjoying. I'm sure you'll have a lovely meal in January.
I can't believe that we're only on day one! What a great first day! Love the meal stalker and your one person ostrich genocide campaign! I feel the same way about birds...they just creep me out.
It was quite the first day, that's for sure. I'm glad you understand my bird fear, most people think I'm weird...er
Love it! I can't wait to read more!
I'll get to typing propbably after this weekend!
Mmmmmmm. We do heart Jiko. Almost worth the 2.5 hour drive just to go eat there.
Almost worth it?
Girl, you have got to start posting more often! I LOVE your reviews!!!!
It's work. We retail drones are busy this time of year. It's really gotten in the way of my posting time. The Overtime has been great though and will fund further trips to WDW. I'm trying to aim for at least 1 post a week until the holiday rush is over.
Wow! Your dinner sounded soooo good! You got awesome service, too! Lemons are my favorite!
Yay Team Lemon!
Dinner was soooo awesome and the service so good that I was bummed by some bad tables/service at other places. Oh well, that's what happens during F&WF and free dining.
