Great update - although I'm disappointed you didn't have the Tavern Fried Cheese appetiser as I just love looking at pictures of those ooey, gooey little sticks of delight
Oh really, is that something they are famous for? I didn't know that, somehow I had never heard of it. It sounds good!
Hi! I'd just like to say I'm really enjoying your wonderful food reviews!
You both look like you are having a great time and I love the way you describe your meal experiences. We are hoping to go back to WDW next year and this is whetting our appetite!
Sharixx
Thank you, I'm glad to be helpful tiding you over until your next WDW visit!
The oyster crackers you were served on the side in a bag for your chowder is the "normal" way you would get them if you were say in New England getting New England Clam chowder. They were just trying to make it authentic for you
Oh, is that what they were doing? Thank you for letting me know, I had no idea, I just thought they were being cheap!
Well, it's difficult giving an opinion of something if you don't know what on earth you're talking about 
Yeah, not that it helped too much ... But I don't even want to think about how horrifying this would have turned out to be had we been totally sober!
Yes, wilma-bride was quicker than me here, but she is right, there was no family-style option there for lunch.
Next review coming up in a bit ...

As you may have noticed if you have read my former installments, this was a very food-heavy day: three meals, four TS credits per person
Calorie overkill! 
By wandering around MK for hours and hours however, walking for what felt like literally miles and miles and miles (boy, were my feet killing me!) and then going for a swim at our resort pool, however, we had managed to train off some of those calories and miraculously work up an appetite for dinner
.
And this was a good thing, too, as we were facing another Disney Signature Dining Experience this time at Narcoossee's at Disney's Grand Floridian Resort. I had heard lots of good things about this restaurant, and I was very much looking forward to checking it out.
Our previous experience with the Grand Floridian hadn't exactly been great (if you want to know why, flip back to my report on our 1900 Park Fare dinner
), and today didn't really start off much better:
We arrived by car for the first time, and DH was majorly put off by the fact that self-parking was so extremely far away from everything, even out of the grounds and across a road and through a gate ("Imagine being a guest here", he said angrily, "you pay so much per night already, and still you have to park outside the hotel grounds like some poor unwanted cousin-twice-removed if you're not willing to pay for valet parking"). Even though it didn't anger me as much as it did him, I could certainly see where he was coming from.
Consequently, when we had a look around the hotel grounds, he said he found it stuffy and unpleasant, and he was glad we were not staying here (which is good, because we couldn't have afforded staying here even if he had declared his everlasting love for the hotel!
).
Anyway, I for my part found everything beautiful and tried to calm my poor DH down a little, consoling him with the prospect of some delicious dinner. I mean really, it was so beautiful here:
We entered and had to wait no more than about two minutes until we were led to our table by a very nice and friendly CM. When I saw the interior of the restaurant, it was love at first sight: I really liked the atmosphere, the round dining room and the many windows. And now finally even DH had to admit that this was neither stuffy nor pompous, but just extremely nice.
Check out the view from our table, across the water to the Magic Kingdom (which you can see in the distance if you look real close somehow it was easier to see in reality than on this photo):
Talking about drinks for a minute:
At home, we love to have a glass of wine with our dinner, and before this trip I had planned on trying lots of great wines, and cocktails, and whatnot.
However, with DH driving our rental car most nights and therefore not wanting to drink anything, and with the astonishingly high prices for alcohol, I usually settled for only softdrinks or, at most, a beer (or more than one, when Prince Charming happened to be present).
Tonight, however, I decided to have a glass of red wine with my dinner. I can't remember what it was apart from it being an American dry red wine, but it was very nice! On our next trip, I'm definitely going to budget a bit more for alcohol and have wine with the dinners! (How convenient that we will be on a cruise so DH won't have to drive after dinner and will therefore be allowed to get blind drunk any day he wants
)
Anyway this installment has been going no far too long already without any mention on food, so here goes:
For an appetizer, I had the Chefs Recommendation, the Grilled Jumbo California Asparagus with Prosciutto and Blood Orange Dressing. I had been looking forward to trying the Yellowfin Tuna Tartare, but alas I love, love, LOVE asparagus so there was simply no way I could pass that up (much less since it was Jumbo Asparagus with all those formidable capital letters).
Well, what can I say It was really nice, and I did not regret ordering it, even though I would have suspected something a bit more, well, fancy. This was good, but not too interestingly seasoned. I kind of expected more from that dressing. But the asparagus and prosciutto were gorgeous, nonetheless. (And I will STILL try the tuna tartare next time after all we wont be visiting in asparagus season!).
(Incidentally, another reason why I felt very much at home there that night is that there was a honeymooner couple seated at the table next to ours (much braver than us wearing the bride and groom ears
), and the whole time the bride was busy taking pictures of the food they were served, while the groom was acting a bit embarrassed about her strange behaviour. Just like us!
I should probably have asked her whether she was also preparing a dining report for the DIS, but I didnt want to disturb them. So if you are out here, DIS bride who took food porn pictures at Narcossees on May 8th after 7:30 pm, just say hi!
)
Anyway, back to culinary matters: DH had the Crispy Duck Roll which came with spiced apple chutney and soy-chili glaze. Shame on me I was too busy with my asparagus to try it! He really liked it, though, and it was very beautifully presented as well:
For our main course, we both knew all along what we were going to order: The Surf and Turf (twin medallions of filet mignon, butter poached rock lobster tail, potato gratin, and choron sauce, that is). Both of us.
Sigh I know its horrible to choose the most outrageously expensive item on the menu simply because you can and it is all paid for; but thats what we both did!
.
We just figured there was no way we would otherwise shell out $ 58.00 per person for an entrée, and neither of us had ever had lobster before (a bit embarrassing to admit, I know), so we went for it. We comforted ourselves with the fact that this automatically meant a bit more tip for our server, so were doing something good for everybody.
So here it is probably the most expensive entrée I have ever eaten either on mine or you guys' side of the Atlantic Ocean:
Awestruck, we both had our first bites. Looked at each other expectantly. And came to exactly the same conclusion, both of us:
The filet mignon was gorgeous and to die for!
And the lobster was boring and tasting of nothing but molten butter!
Nothing we will ever need to eat again, probably. Maybe we are just not lobster persons (what a horribly uncultivated thing to say, though, isnt it?).
So anyway, we wont be having that again next time we visit Narcoossee's (which we will, that much is certain!). There are lots of other things I'd love to try here, though like the salmon or the tuna, or maybe just have a whole big portion of that delicious filet mignon -, so I wont go hungry!
By then, the time for Wishes was fast approaching, and we asked the waiter whether we could have our desserts to go, like we had recently learned at the Flying Fish. The server was really sweet, we told him we wanted to watch Wishes outside (didn't want the obstructed view with everybody standing in front of us on the verandah) - so he really hurried our desserts, two portions of Key Lime Crème Brulée, as well as our bill, and we were out of there within less than five minutes after telling him of our plans.
So we ambled over to the marina, snuggled up close to each other in the beautiful fresh evening air, and watched first Wishes and then my beloved Electric Water Pageant. So romantic!
.
The dessert, by the way, didnt look anywhere near fit to be photographed when we took them out or their carton at the hotel, so no pictures here, sorry! We enjoyed them the next day, though, no matter how they looked.
All in all, this was a great meal, in a great setting and with really nice and attentive service. The Surf and Turf left a bit to be desired for us, especially considering the steep price, but that was the only downside in an otherwise beautiful meal. And like I said what did that matter? We were on the DxDDP, the food was paid for anyway!

I am not a lobster person either
so I wouldn't order it in either case, but it's been pretty widely reported that the lobster tail that comes with the Surf 'n' Turf is prepared from frozen, which might be the reason you didn't like it. (The whole lobster is fresh, however.)

I am sooo glad it wasn't just me! I, too,thought the lobster tail was very bland.

My sister and I are already discussing restaurants for our January 2010 trip (it's her first WDW trip) and she suddenly came up with Narcoossee's which I had never been interested in. She keeps talking about it and actually got me researching it. The thing that always turned me off was the seafood. I eat fish but nothing else that comes out of the sea. The first time I tried lobster, I hated it and later found out that I am actually slightly allergic to shellfish.
But she got me looking at the menu again and as you said, there are many intersting dishes besides the lobster. And after I started to actually look at the restaurant I realized that it is indeed very beautiful. I guess I never noticed that because I feel about the GF very much like your DH: it's too stuffy!

I didn't really care for the lobster tail at Narcoosee's either. I would try their whole lobster though, I heard that's much better.

The lobster on the surf and turf is Caribbean lobster. The whole lobster is Maine lobster, which is about 1000 times better. You still may not like it, but that is how a lobster should taste.

I just spent the entire morning reading your wonderful reviews. You dined at several of the places that we're planning for our Sept trip.
I just wanted to let you know about the biscuits, we usually have them with butter and jam so they taste much better than the way you had them.
Thanks so much for all the great food pics.

Still enjoying your reviews. Shame about the lobster at Narcoossees - I wouldn't know what good lobster should taste like anyway so suspect I wouldn't have been too disappointed - still, the filet sounded great

Hi Annichan, I have just updated my dining review. It seems like we started slacking with our reviews around the same time... Must be the summer weather in Germany!

Well, well, well ... I've been slacking so badly on this dining review! Two months with no update - I know, that's pretty bad 
. I promise to be better - that is, if there is anyone at all still interested in my ramblings after so long a break!
I will just start by answering those people who replied to my thread and have probably by now lost all hope of me ever noticing.
Glad you say so - I was feeling so uncultivated!
Yes, I still thinks she was, but unfortunately she hasn't commented yet ... Are you out there, fellow DIS honeymooner?
Thank you for reading, I'm glad you enjoyed my report!
Yes, somehow Narcoossee's somehow didn't seem to me as if it belonged to the GF at all, so much less stuffy and more down-to-earth in the décor and everything (impeccable service, of course, and also GF prices!).
Yes, I might just do that next time!
Go Maine lobster!
May he beware lest I cross his path ...
Thanks for letting me know about the biscuits! You must be on your trip now or maybe even back already, and I hope you have / had a great time!!
Another thing I would really like to try there is the Seafood Cioppino they have on the menu now, makes my mouth water just to read it!
Oh wow - good on you to try to motivate me, but I didn't even see your reply until weeks later! I'll go check out your updates trip report as soon as I've got the next instalment up ...
Thank you! There will be some more to read in a few minutes!

The next morning we were in for a treat: the Lilo & Stitch breakfast at Ohana. When planning for this trip, I hadnt been able to make up my mind at first about whether Id book us for breakfast or for dinner there.
However in the end, as I didnt much fancy the meat fest that supposedly is Ohana dinner, plus I love Stitch, the decision for breakfast here was a relatively easy one. Even DH who usually is all for having his (albeit light) breakfast straight after waking up and not after a long trek to a park or hotel, likes Stitch so much that he was really looking forward to this breakfast and didnt mind the wait for food.
We arrived at the Poly slightly too early and extremely hungry. Fortunately, we only had to wait a couple of minutes after checking in, were presented with our cute leis and led to a table in the second row from the window, by the aisle. (The restaurant was really empty this early in the morning.) Starved as we were, we did not have to wait long: Our server, Monique, immediately put some food on our table.
One was a pretty little platter of fruit, consisting of different types of melons and grapes. The other one held one of the most delicious things I had so far tasted at Disney: the Ohana pineapple bread! Sweet, fresh, succulent, fruity. Before long we had to pester the server for another portion of this yummy stuff.
We had hardly started eating this when a mischievous little visitor from outer space came to our table. After hiding from my husband and then trying to steal some of our bread (no way pal, I wont give that up even for you! ) he hugged us and posed for a picture on which you can probably see how much I like Stitch, as I look so happy:
Actually, as the restaurant was still so empty, all the characters (in order of appearance: Stitch, Mickey, Lilo and Goofy) came around really soon and we didnt have to wait long at all. Cute Stitch even came around twice I know that the characters are kind of supposed to ignore you when you are still sitting there and they come around again, but Stitch didnt, he played with us again and even posed for photos again. See, I know why I just love Stitch!.
He was up to so many antics, running around the room, leading a conga line, generally flitting here and there, that it was really hard to take any decent pictures of him they almost all came out pretty blurry, just like this one:
Anyway, back to the food: I already mentioned how the fruit and pineapple bread was delicious, but the family-style platter that was to follow turned out to be just as good. I dont know, I suppose the items were all pretty standard Disney breakfast fare, but somehow they just tasted much better here than anywhere else. Might have just been due to my fabulously good mood that morning!
This is the family-style breakfast platter we were brought:
It held sausages, bacon, scrambled eggs and sweet scones. In the picture, you can also see our plates laden with Mickey waffles, and the hand of poor DH waiting not-so-patiently for me to finish taking photos and finally allow him to dig in.
We were asked if we wanted another serving, but we could barely finish this platter and had to decline. After all, we were off to Typhoon Lagoon water park afterwards and wanted to be able to stay afloat.
