After sleeping for 2 hours, we felt so much better. It`s something I would never do at home, actually go to bed for a sleep during the day.......maybe snooze on the sofa particularly in the winter is something I have been known to do.......but, it did us the world of good. Not quite sure why we were so tired....Tom said it might be something to do with the fact we`ve been awake from 6.30am and not going to bed till late after being in 90 degree heat all day.....lol.....ok maybe that was why. But we got showered and changed and headed up to the lounge for a bit before we went out.
Lounge was fairly quiet again tonight, but everyone was tucking into the food that looked so nice tonight......a Chinese style dish of pork and noodles was the hot offering and it did look nice.....I did have a small salad with some of the gorgeous blue cheese dressing I dislike so much at home....Tom had some cheese and couple of crackers. We settled with our wine and looked out of the window, it was a lovely night again........we could have sat there all night actually, we knew all the staff well tonight and enjoyed chatting to them so much.......they really were the nicest guys....and young Colby who we knew from last year was there.....first we had seen him this year......nice young man.
But we left as we had a reservation, quite early tonight our table was for 7pm. So we got a car again from outside the hotel......Justin was a cool guy who we spoke a lot to and always asked where were going, as a local he always offered us several options.....plenty to consider next time. Car got us there in 5 minutes and we told him we would make our own way back. I was sure we would use one of their drivers again.
We arrived and again, it was so hot.......lovely.....which made it so nice entering the nicely air conditioned restaurant. Lori recognised us immediately behind some other couples and waved.....one she had sorted them she came over and hugged us and asked if we had a reservation, it didn`t matter if we didn`t....but she just hadn`t seen our name.......so she took us to our table and we immediately said how welcome this place makes you feel.
We felt like cocktails tonight so I knew what I was having again......Berries and Bubbles for me and I think Tom ended up with wine again.......but I`m not sure......missed that!!
We knew roughly what we were having to eat tonight......Tom was going for his Surf and Turf appetiser again, he had enjoyed it so much first time.......I thought I might have sushi. But which one was a choice as there was several that sounded delicious.......I had explained my allergies again so our server who wasn`t Dan tonight as he was off.......Kevin was good too.......so he had checked and they could leave anything off the food on those.......so I eventually chose the Dynamite Roll........it was a good choice......I actually thought he had thought I wanted that for a main as Tom`s came out first.......turns out the timing was off for hours because of my questions about allergies, so Tom was going to wait.....told him not to and enjoy it warm, mine wouldn`t be far away........it wasn't and didn`t disappoint.........
Oh my goodness!!! This was a large portion and so delicious.......the stuff on top was shrimp lightly battered with spicy sauce.......it was lovely......and yes I did share with Tom....who is used to me stealing a bit of his dinner......he thought it was lovely also.....but says his appetiser is one of the nicest he has eaten. Scallops were just perfect.
What was nice tonight we didn`t order our mains till after we had eaten our appetisers......so we had a lovely even longer break between courses........in such a nice atmosphere this was very welcome. Eventually Kevin came back and asked what we were choosing for main........Tom was having the Ribeye served medium, I opted for the NY strip medium rare......I usually choose the filet, but wanted a change tonight. We were having exactly the same sides as last time as they were delicious. Honeyed carrots and jalapeno au gratin potatoes. We know what we like usually.
I had a different cocktail for my second......it was called Black Orchid and sounded nice, it was lovely....had a real flower in an ornate ice cube in the glass.......I did prefer the Bubbles and Berries one though, but did want to try it.
The steaks were the best steaks we have ever eaten!! Cooked to perfection......sometimes I find I have to return them as they are more medium for me......but this was sublime!!! Full of flavour and they were a bigger steak than we expected. To say we couldn`t find a fault is an understatement........both meals we had eaten in here were perfect and certainly worth ever penny or cent we paid. We had definitely found a restaurant we will come back to several times year after year. The whole atmosphere is wonderful with lovely food and staff....can`t ask for much more........
Kevin asked if we wanted a picture together......always......so he said he would get someone else as he was the worst photographer ever.....so after a few minutes a lady came over and took it.....well, she took two and first one we both have our eyes closed........but we like this picture.
We have absolutely no room for dessert.....they have a baked Alaska that is supposed to be out of this world......we had planned to share it and I could eat a little of it.....but we would have burst. So we paid the check and on the way out we said our goodbyes to Lori, and got a car sorted.....she is such a nice lady and best front of house lady we ever saw......very professional but friendly as well. We chatted about a few things till car came then headed out promising we would be back next year.
It wasn't too late and because of our sleep we were not tired......so we got back to our room and got changed into less dressy an outfit and walked into Citywalk.......this was one of the few nights we left the camera behind in the room deliberately. Citywalk was busy but we decided to go play minigolf.....usually we did both sides but tonight we chose the haunted side which is more fun....especially at night......it wasn`t busy but we did laugh at the guys behind us.....wow talk about competitive.....this guy thought he was Arnold Palmer.......he kept giving his friends tips and they were like, so over him by now, its mini golf buddy....... we let them pass as I am rubbish at golf......but somehow manage to win.......lol.......I didn`t win tonight however as Tom whoopped me. Kyle would have enjoyed this as he likes mini golf a lot especially at night when it`s all lit up. We took our time and soon we were done. It is such a good course and well themed........
We headed to Margaritaville now for a quick cocktail and again it was busy and loud.....we sat at the bar and passed an hour or so singing to Jimmy Buffet before walking back to the hotel....... It was fairly late now and we would be ready for bed time we got back. Even at night on the path I never feel wary, you pass a few people and the boats are always passing. We did notice security guys on their bikes more at night which made us feel ok too. It was midnight now, so yep we were practically falling into bed for another brilliant sleep.
Another park day tomorrow.
, not in the sense of the dead husband.
it wasn't in Orlando it was in Switzerland good few years ago.......anyway we were having dinner one night and she finally approached us......clutching this picture........long story short Tom was the image of her husband who had died about 10 years previous......showed us his picture and there was a definite resemblance........her present husband kept apologising and I think she was a little "delicate"
