Every trip my husband and I like to make reservations at the Grand Floridian Cafe. I honestly can't say enough good things about this restaurant! The food is always amazing and the service is outstanding!! We had reservations for 5 p.m. with plans to see the Main St. Electrical Light parade and Wishes after dinner. Unfortunately the Magic Kingdom was just so busy, we decided to skip it and visit the Contemporary after dinner for some shopping and to check out the Christmas decorations.
Princess all ready for dinner!
If you haven't seen any of the Christmas specials on Disney, you might not know about the life size Gingerbread House. It's really spectacular and smells amazing!!
We arrived right on time for our dinner reservation and were seated pretty quickly. The baby had fallen asleep by now and was in her stroller. They were nice enough to seat us at a table in the corner so we could put the strollet of the way. I was a little surprised because the table was for 6 or 7 people and there only 4 of us. It was still early though and the restaurant hadn't gotten busy yet.
By snagging an early reservation you ensure a quieter dining experience, although this restaurant doesn't typically get loud.
For starters glass of wine (White Zinfaendel for my parents, Reisling for my hubby and Rosa Regale for me). My hubby loves French Onion soup here and always gets it. I had a seasonal green salad with parmesean, apples and candied walnuts. My dad got the Sopu De Jour which was this amazing Pumpkin soup. Seriously the soup was soooo yummy!! Along with our appetizers we also enjoyed two kinds of rolls, Sourghdough and Multigrain along with butter that has Hawaiian sea salt.
For dinner two of us ordered Bone In New York Strip that came with House mashed potatoes, seasonal vegetables and Bordelaise. The other two ordered the Roasted Airline Chicken which came with Mushroom Risotto, roasted mushrooms and chicken pan juice. Let me tell you, the Mushroom risotto at Le Cellier is my all time favorite, but this dish was AMAZING!! The chicken was so moist and not at all dry. It was full of flavor and the risotto was just amazing. I got to try a bite of the steak and that too was awesome!! I can't recommend restaurant enough!
For dessert we couldn't decide what to order so we got 2 of the dessert samplers.

We all had a different favorite. My mom loved the Berry Tart, my Dad and Hubby loved the cheesecake and I loved the Key Lime Tart. They were all amazing!!
After dinner we hopped on the monorail over to the Contemporary, but not before a few pictures!
