Who: Me, DW, DS1 (3 yo), DS2 (18 mos), my mom
We had 11:50am PS for lunch. We arrived at 11:20am and requested a waterside table. I told the hostess we would be willing to wait and she said we probably would need to wait.
At 11:30am we were sitted. Not waterside but close enough. I mentioned to the CM that seated us that we wanted to wait for waterside. He said we couldnt that it would be at least a one and half hour wait for waterside. Well the kids were being good and like I said we were close to water and could see the boats so I let it go.
We sat there for over 20 minutes and no one came with water, bread, drink order or anything. Finally I stood up and nicely asked a CM to check who our server was. About 10 minutes later we got bread and our waiter showed up. He asked if were ready to order lunch. I told him we wanted to order drinks first. He said that he will take the entire order now or else we wont get our lunch....
I thought this kind of rude, especially for the prices this place charges. This guy was taking our order like a McDonald's drive through.....
DW ordered the Mahi Mahi with wedge salad, I ordered the Jambalya with gumbo, and my mom ordered the Portobello Mushroom with wedge salad. I got a kids chicken dish for the kids to share.
The salads were good and my gumbo was great.
My mom and DW were very happy with their selections. I thought the Jambalya was terrible.
The kids absolutely would not touch their kids chicken meal. This restaurant really needs to rethink their children's menu. Chicken Strips PLEASE. Is this the only restaurant in DLR that does not have the kids Chicken Strip???
For desert we ordered a cookie boat to share. VERY very good.
At this point I paid the bill. I really wanted to stiff the waiter and hand deliver a tip to the gal that brings the bread and drink refills and the gal that was our bus person. They were great. Our waiter (Rudy) was rude, inefficient, and belonged at a Denny's not at a high end resort restaurant.
Bottom line: not worth the money to me. I can put up with high prices and ok food with excellent service. But when the service is lacking, no way....
I can understand how DLR is having a hard time attracting top notch CMs to the park but with BB prices I have to think that the wait staff is pulling in tips comensurate with the surrounding area. Why can't they attract top notch wait staff?
