We were both looking forward to our Yachtsman dinner! DH had gone in June with DS and a friend and had accidentally ordered the prime rib instead of our favorite ribeye and had been kicking himself ever since. I had been craving the bone marrow side since we had eaten there last September. The marrow spread on the brioche roll is another example of heaven on a plate. But since I wasn't really all that hungry we decided that I would order a entree on the lighter side and we would split the ribeye and it's sides. But I'm getting ahead of myself. We started our meal with the amazing roasted garlic to go along with the onion rolls.
Yummy, Yummy, Yummy! I ordered the lobster bisque as my appetizer and it was a solid choice. DH hit a home run with the his choice of country fried rock shrimp and calamari. Every bit of flavor that was lacking in the calamari from my lunch was packed into this dish. It was so good! And I only sample a piece of shrimp and calamari. DH said the avocado toast was delicious by itself!
We were already starting to get full when they brought our main courses. And as good and amazing as DH's entree and sides were, that's just how flavorless and boring my entree and side was. The risotto was rather bland and it was heavy tasting so I took a bite and left it. I love lobster but this poor thing tasted mushy and watery. Just not very good at all. I asked for drawn butter because everything tastes better with butter but even that wasn't enough.
DH was kind enough to give me most of his bone marrow and brioche since he's not in love with it as much as I am. And he gave me a nice portion of his steak. We started contemplating getting our desserts to go although I don't know when we thought we would eat them! Then our waiter brought us an anniversary gift of small house made candies that were out of this world! I don't even like passion fruit but the fruit square was very good.
In hindsight we really should have stopped there but we'd both been looking forward to dessert and since creme brulee doesn't pack well I had to eat it immediately, right ?
DH got the chocolate peanut cake at the waiter's suggestion and he devoured it.
At that point I was physically uncomfortable. My stomach was so full it hurt! Luckily we were able to walk some of it off at Hollywood Studios. Once we got back to the room, I was still feeling a little nauseous and decided to cancel our Coral Reef and Tiffins reservations for the next day. I didn't want to risk getting charged for cancelling a reservation and we'd been having second thoughts about eating at Tiffins anyway. Nothing really appealed to me on the menu.
I don't sleep well on a full stomach which is why we traditionally eat fairly early dinners. I didn't have the best night sleep and woke up still feeling very full.
. I decided I had to try the sausage gravy and biscuits even though we'd be paying out of pocket. I love sausage gravy and this gravy had just the right amount of salt and enough sausage to give it great flavor! And the biscuits were so tender.
or did you pay OOP?
