2006 - Present : Food Pics with Chat

Pad Thai from Mythos and Confisco Grill are both lovely.

Chicken and shrimp in both.
 
Ok, so I know that my daughter and her friend will want to eat at the Harry Potter places, but I have to tell you, the pictures I"m seeing...not impressed. The most attractive meal to me looks like it comes from Thunder Falls - ribs and corn look pretty good.

Any thoughts on this? What are your favorite places to eat for food quality?

And anybody try the Pad Thai...from the photos...those are some Pad Thai dishes that I've never seen before. Is the Pad Thai any good?

I actually really like The Leaky Cauldron. The Banger sandwich is excellent. I like the food selection better than the menu at Three Broomsticks. I can also highly recommend the Ice Cream place at Diagon alley. For other places to eat I can recommend" Bread Box, Cowfish and NBC Sports bar. Good food at all three.

For the resort I like Sal's Market, Jake's and The Bayliner Diner.
 


I took a bunch of pictures and started a trip report I never finished, but here are pics from April 2016. Most of the items are still on the menus.

The following is The Great Feast from Three Broomsticks. IOA

Great Feast (Serves 4)


Garden Salad, Rotisserie Smoked Chicken and Spareribs, Corn on the Cob, and Roast Potatoes

I don't know if they've taken the broccoli and carrots off now, but regardless, it was delicious, we all loved it. And at $59.99, we felt it was a good deal.

The following are from Hard Rock Cafe(dinner)

Nachos. She asked if we wanted ground beef on them, said sure. It is literally broken up hamburger, cooked in a patty and then added. No seasoning, nothing. Tasted exactly like someone crumbled their burger over nachos. Not good.

CLASSIC CLUB SANDWICH
Thinly sliced grilled chicken, smoked bacon, vine-ripened tomato, iceberg lettuce and rich mayonnaise on toasted sourdough bread.

Is there an age limit on the kids menu at Mythos? I've got a VERY picky 12 year old and a DH who loves good Pad Thai. If they'll let her order off the kids menu it's worth it for us, but I hate paying for an adult sized hamburger she'll only eat half of.

This is the Kong Dog - it was very good but there is really no where to eat it in the Kong area. They also dont put the stuff on it - you get too little cups of it and there are no forks, knives or spoons - so it is a real hassle to eat it.
It is also so big you really need to cut it in half. I think it would be better if they had squirt bottles of the cheesed and relish and put it on it - or just have knives

Drhum Club Kantine

This is a picture of the tostone.
Chicken was way overcooked on this but it was still good

Drinks are ok here - but not great - you really have to buy the refillable glass.
With that the first drink is 15 and refills are 10
Price without the glass is 13.50 - although one bartender said it was 17.50 ...they dont seem to know.
I tried the rum runner, club punch, Rum Rita Out Island Ice tea and they were all just OK

I dont like that the tip of 18% is added automatically as there is no incentive for the bartender to make a good drink or interact - not that they have the time.

I never made it over - but their happy hour starts at 7

Strong water tavern
Sweet Plantain and Beef Hash - $9.00
Spiced Shredded Beef, Onions, Peppers, Sunny Side Up Egg
This was really tasty but the hash needed to be warmer - they were so close.

Mai Tai - $15.00
Hamilton Reserve & El Dorado 5 yr, Orgeat, Lime
This was really good - I think they float 151 on it as well

Tavern Grog - $12.00 - did not enjoy this drink at all - was very bitter

The couple next to me tried a few drinks and were disappointed - I had them try the Mai Tai and they were much happier.
I do wish they had a happy hour as at $15 a drink it adds up quickly

Toothsome Chocolate Emporium
Coffee and Chocolate Stout Chicken Wings
Flashed Fried, Chocolate Stout Glaze - 14.95
tasty - but way overcooked

Old Chocolate Fashion
Bird Dog Chocolate Whiskey, Cherry Heering Liqueur, Sugar, Chocolate and Orange Bitters

Revolutionary Old Fashion
Four Roses Bourbon, Creme de Framboise, Cointreau, Sugar, Peychaud's Bitters

Tamales ( GF ) - $8.95 from Antojitos
House made, fresh corn, red peppers, tequila mushroom, chicken raisin picadillo

These were not what I expected when they came out - but they were really tasty.
They have very good margaritas (too say the least) and the free chips and salsa were huge (I wish I got a photo) I had the Fresno which has chilli peppers in it - really nice kick to it

I just wish they had a happy hour.
 
Flatbread from Amatista Cookhouse - $14.
They have happy hour starting at 4 I think and the draft beers are $5 - flatbread was really good - I had wanted to go back to try another but there was so much to do - even with 9 nights at Sapphire
Be aware the kitchen stops making flat breads at 4:30 for about an hour to clean up

Fajita spiced pork, onions and peppers, queso fresco, mozzarella cheese, jalapeno barbecue
20170916_164326.jpg
 
Emeril's Happy hour menu Items (they had no oysters because of the hurricane)
They have mixed drinks and craft beers for about $5 - stick to the beers
Place is pretty dead now that Emeril is no longer on Food Network - although I like the food there is no atmosphere anymore - at least the night I was there - the bartender seemed bored

Crispy Duck Wings - these were excellent:

20170917_165101.jpg

Crawfish Toast - a bit disappointing
20170917_164613.jpg
 
HHN Pizza Fires - a bit overcooked but good - I'll be making these at home as it is pretty simple
