I'm ready to change my Dinner reservations for there. I just don't think we are going to like it. I booked it because of the princesses, DD8 and DD5 wanted to see princesses. Now what am I going to do? Does anybody have anything good to say about this place?
I thought the food was great at the lunch we had there in June. The cold bar had a wide variety of interesting foods and salads (only a little bit of fish!!) They had sausage (salami), turkey, muenster cheese, jarlsberg cheese, crackers, flat bread, and regular breads (wheat and white). There were cold salads- potato, beet, cucumber, tomato, and pasta. They also had greens and ranch dressing. My kids had plenty of choices from the cold bar- one had salad and bread and butter. The other had tomato salad, muenster cheese and bread and butter. They chose hot dogs w/ corn for their entree.
My dh had the "traditional" lunch which was like a big meatball w/ a sauce on top (you could ask for it w/o sauce I'm sure) and it was served with steamed veggies and mashed potatoes (they also had cheese and cauliflower in them but they were delicious). I had the soup and sandwich and it was great. It was an open faced salmon sandwich w/ a delicious mayo sauce and crumbled bacon on it. Fresh and tasty.
FWIW, we sat in the back room and we saw all the princesses before dessert with no problem. We also didn't notice any full plates of food going back to the kitchen. No one seemed repulsed by the food. If you don't like herring or smoked fish, just don't get it at the cold bar- there were other things available. I just looked at our pictures of the lunch and you can see 3 tables in most of the pictures, all the people were eating and seemed to be cleaning their plates.
Look carefully at the menus on allearsnet.com. Remember there is a separate kid's menu when you decide. They were very accommodating here, we saw at least one dad at another table order an adult sized order of the pasta and meatballs from the kid's menu.
The desserts were great. A large portion to share and the cheesecake was delicious, nice and light- the berry sauce was tart so if you aren't fond of that, ask them to hold it. The chocolate cake was good and the rice pudding w/ strawberries was amazing.
