It's funny you say that as this is always my quandary as well - to choose a filet, bison strip, duck, etc or go with the Dragon Roll and Spicy Kazan as my entree?! I always get the Dragon as an appetizer even if I do go with a more traditional (non-slushi) entree. Glad to hear you enjoyed it as well. The price is so high I am trying to stay away from my beloved California Grill for a couple trips... But I am planning a holiday blowout and you better believe that California Grill sushi will be making a triumphant return!
Yeah they definitely have so many options that its hard to choose. Glad we finally tried the slushi but as you said the prices are pretty crazy. Hope you enjoy as much as we did on your holiday trip.
Catching up! I have avoided the dining board unintentionally as I have been getting started planning our next trip! It will be just a Disney quickie, and I think the perfect opportunity to play ADR roulette, as inspired by you! I scored a same evening CG s(l)ushi fix in December. My very smart 8 year old picked your top sushi choice. It was sooo good. I think your number 2 looks good, too. Via Napoli was a hot mess for us a couple summers ago... Bad service, tough, almost burnt crust. I think we may need to give it another try, though, as 99% of people seem to love it! I wonder if they have any decent gluten free options. Surprisingly, Tutto Italia does.
WOO-HOO for another trip when are you going? Of course I love the idea of playing it by ear. Our next trip will be another mix as we'll have my inlaws with us for part of the trip and I didn't want to chance availability for 5.
Lovve that you have slushi lovin' kids too. I think if you start them early it is just common place, not weird.
Sorry you all didn't love Via Napoli. The crust is almost always charred and a little chewy, so if that isn't your pizza style likely best to stay away. I on the other hand love charred crust.
Wow how does that happen, very cool!
I think you'd be surprised how much it really does. I think we've only ever made one ahead of time CG ADR before. All others (and we go almost every trip) are last minute.
Oooh great choice! Do you find when you use a sommelier, they choose more of the higher priced wines, or do you give them a price range and then they choose from there?
We definitely give them a price point and then let them go from there. Though there have been a few times when we didn't do that and they rarely went exorbitant. I think a good sommelier is pretty proud of what they do and let their palate, and not price point, dictate their recommendations.
While not a fan of sLushi, all of your alcoholic beverages definitely look good
Maybe after a few alcoholic beverages you would be a slushi fan
Sounds like you found some delicious slushi there! And your Cucumber Fizz does look quite refreshing - but I'm having a hard time imagining both cucumber and Sprite in the same drink!
And Casey does look quite proud of herself - flowers and all!
The slushi was definitely deliciouso. And I think drinking anything with cucumber is likely odd but it somehow worked. And Casey is always proud of herself. She's never met a mirror she didn't love
what was the cream portion of this dessert? Taking my kiddo to CA Grill in December. Last time he had the rice krispie sushi but he does not like gummies and swedish fish so thought this might be a better option for him. It says pop rock ice cream on the menu? eh? Was the little cutie happy due to her dessert or the slushi or maybe both?
I thought it was just regular ice cream. Pop rocks ice cream does sound cool, but I don't remember Casey mentioning anything. She was definitely happy about the dessert. Definitely a rare occurrence for her to have something all to herself.
Love that Casey calls it Slushi
I was wondering about the bacon/sushi combo, it always sounds strange to me. My boys now love sushi and the amount they can pack away is
...well that is the case with anything they are a fan of c
The pork sushi wasn't bad my any means, just not the what I was expecting.
Good to hear you've got some slushi fans too. Though, mine puts next to nothing away
Just caught up (recently returned to the DIS from a prolonged absence) and LOVING your report. as always!
Welcome back!!!!! Glad you are enjoying!
