And.....Here we go.
Our arrival night after experiencing the safari and Nav’i River Journey. We left Pandora as the rain came down and headed to Nomad Lounge before our Tiffins ADR.
We arrived a little early so we ordered an Annapurna Zing and Tempting Tigris. Thanks for the recommendations.
We checked in and waited for our text which came at 5:37, 2 minutes after our ADR.
After being seated, we each ordered a new Annapurna Zing. Yes DH liked my drink so much we now own 3 light up lotus flowers.
We perused the menu as we enjoyed our drinks. We settled on sharing the charred octopus. We ordered the pan seared halibut and braised lamb shank with a Manchurian cauliflower “enhancement”. We also ordered a bottle of Argentinian Rose’ I forgot to photograph.
Octopus..
DH was impressed with the dish and I was impressed I could eat it without a weird reaction to the texture. The char was delicious and the sauce and small amounts of peppers and sausage were very good. Take your taste buds on an adventure and combine the flavors on these plates.
Halibut...
The accompaniments were very complimentary and halibut good but we make better at home. It gave us ideas for the two filets vacuum sealed in our freezer.
Lamb Shank...
Meh..This was bland. I even commented it needed salt. Now, you don’t know me but I am kind of a high flavor but lower salt sort of gal and for me to wish a salt grinder was available is unheard of. The black eyed peas were also, unseasoned. The lamb tasted “gamey” without an herbal enhancement. No mint or thyme or anything. Not even adequate salt and pepper. I prefer the braised pork they used to have at Be Our Guest.
Dessert Trio...
We only needed a few sweet bites for the end of the meal and that is what we got. All of them delicious and all of them small for the price of $14. Pretty much $2 a bite. That, the wine, the cauliflower and the Annapurna Zing were the best parts. We cook a lot and make pretty good entrees with the same proteins. Can't find the photo here
About that cauliflower...we are now finished with day 2 and it is still the best thing so far.
The service was outstanding! Beyond reproach. From the explanation of the premise of the restaurant and inspiration of the the three themed rooms to the recommendation of “cauliflower at it’s best...We have no complaints.
Details and photos will be edited in later.... in November.... When I am not in Florida...And I buy a new computer to download stuff from my camera.
Tomorrow I will write some editable stuff about Garden Grill breakfast and Biergarten “Eat to the Beat” package dinner. Not sure when as I will be branching with Andrew Zimmern at 11:30 and going to Hoop Dee Doo 2nd show.
Name of thread will be changed to “catchy dining thread title”. Later
Okay, mayabe not so catchy but it is....Not so live...
