Review of Boatwright's Dining Hall Dinner

Let me start off my saying that you need to order the cheese fritters as your appetizer!! They were SO delicious.
I had the vegetarian jambalaya for my entree and it was very tomato based. My mom usually makes the boxed kind, so I was not expecting this. It was still very tasty and not as spicy - I had hoped for more of a kick but it was still good.
I had the Bananas Foster Angel Food Cake for dessert. It was light and delicious. If I'm staying here, I would definitely dine here again.

I felt extremely rushed while here for breakfast. It took the characters forever to get around and by the time they did, they went really quick through the interactions.
I loved the Stitch waffles though, very nice touch. I also love the POG juice. Can't get enough of that stuff!

I will go out of my way every time to go to Olivia's for breakfast. It's such a homey place and the breakfast potatoes are the best I've ever had.
This past trip, I ordered the Sombrero Beach Omelet without the ham and add avocados. Per-fect. The potatoes were as good as I remembered, even though they came out a little cold. I already can't wait to get back.
The only thing that would make this place even better would be some press pot coffee. Yum.

I liked the brightness of the restaurant.
I ordered the frittata and it couldn't have been more bland. It was definitely missing something. It was not very filling coming only with some fruit. The press pot coffee was strong, but didn't taste that great.
There weren't many people there so it was easy to get a table as we had arrived early for our ADR. Our server was quiet spoken and hard to understand.
I don't think I'll be returning unless I'm staying at the Grand.

I ate here for the first time the last week of February 2015. The views were a-MAZing up there. I had high hopes for the food.
I ordered the mushroom flatbread for an appetizer and this was the best I've ever had. Absolutely delicious.
I ordered the vegetarian squash ravioli and the ravioli was great, but it was sitting on top of some of the saltiest spinach I've ever had in my life.
Dessert was very lackluster. Nothing seemed that amazing. I had the sundae sampler since it seemed fun. The tiny soda bottle was cute, but the food was very average.
I don't know if I'd rush back for the prices they have. It's also hard knowing that I'll know what I'll be getting before going as a vegetarian. Limited options as far as entrees go.
Pros:
Views, FlatbreadsCons:

It will always pain me to come here and know that Kouzzina is gone. It was our favorite. We figured we'd give the newbie a shot. I ordered the scrambled eggs and they were light and delicious. I was pleased to see that the same croissant was offered that Kouzzina used to have. Yum! That was my favorite part. I was able to sub a side of fruit instead of meat.
I'm not a fan of the dark wood so early in the morning. I need something a bit brighter to wake me up. 🙂

There was a great selection of food here and all of the CMs were more than willing to help you with the offerings if you weren't sure what was in the food. Everything was labeled. They also offer the POG juice here and there's plenty of coffee. The coffee was alright, not as strong as I had hoped. The pap was delicious and don't even get me started on how amazing the roasted tomatoes were.
Our server was attentive and she even got some zebra domes for us to try! (I haven't been for dinner so I was hoping for a sneak peak.)
The atmosphere is great. I'd definitely go back.

This is my husband's favorite over the counter option when we head to Magic Kingdom.
I ordered the lighthouse sandwich and it was good but the bread was a bit hard and dried out. The chips were good that came with it. The desserts were like most over the counters - bleh.
There's plenty of seating and the CMs are great here. I know I'll be back!

DessertsReview of Restaurant Marrakesh - Lunch/Dinner

I am disappointed to see the most recent review of Restaurant Marrakesh being negative, as my friends and I went recently and had a very nice time.
I was there with two friends and a significant other. The friends like appetizers, so we had the seafood bastilla to share and one friend had the salad. The bastilla was delicious!
For meals, I had the saffron mussels appetizer (I think it's new as it's not on the All Ears menu) which was amazing. SO and I shared the Marrakesh Feast, all of which was good except the soup just tasting like regular vegetable soup. My friends had the shish kebab and the couscous m'rouzia. The friend who had the shish kebab said he goes to steak restaurants regularly and the meat served at Marrakesh was better than he's had at those other places.
Everyone very much enjoyed their food. The only downside was how long it took between appetizers & entrees and to get our check. We were there for MUCH longer than I had wanted to be to get to other attractions. We probably spent about two hours there and I was hoping for half that (I did not realize the friends were going to order so much for the first course, though). Our servers were very kind, just absent for quite a while. We loved our experience overall and would definitely eat here again. The bread we had to dip into the saffron mussels sauce was a huge hit!

Let me preface by saying that I'm not really a lemon fan. I decided to go crazy though and get the lemon ricotta hotcakes. This was one of the best decisions I've ever made. Phenomenal. This was probably my favorite breakfast of the week! 🙂
