I can recommend the lobster as well - AMAZING! The surf & turf, sea bass and the chilled seafood appetizers are all EXCELLENT!!!!!!! Like Brenda said, everything there is wonderful!
Don't scare us like that woman!!!!!!
glad all is well -
I suspect pictures any moment now - but you just take your time - YOU are on VACATION!!
Yum....that food at Kona looks good (and I liked the look of the other items on the menu too).
And DON'T YOU EVER SCARE US that way again or I won't meet you in Marco Island!
We sat at a booth and we watched the Red Sox game (did they win?) [/QUOTE said:I was lucky enough to be at the game but sadly they did not win. Dice K gave up too many runs and the Sox players just weren't hitting well today. We gave the game to the Texans 6-3.
Hi all! So sorry for not checking in and making you worry all day but we are alive and well and we did eat again today
Last night was a bad night...DH was really ill, I was not feeling 100% but he was bad...I did get him Sprite and saltines and Pepto and that helped but the best thing for us was sleep and lots of it...we woke up around 10 am (I had a feeling this was gonna happen so I cancelled TH, which we were both bummed about) and the first thing out of Todd's mouth is "I'm hungry". I needed real coffee..I had not had a decent cup in 4 days so I said lets get showered and try to get into Kona, get a late check out and go to the Swan.
We walked into Kona, no reservations either, around 10:45 and were seated immediately to a pretty full restaurant. I was hoping we would get in but if worse came to worse we could at least get coffee at the Kona bar and eat at Capt Cooks cuz one more day at POFQ would make me nuts! Ohana was packed to the gills too! We have been to Kona before but not since April 08 so I was thrilled to get in and chow down!
Here are some menu pics.
The thing with DH is he has a bottomless pit as a stomach and can bounce back from a tummy ache fast...he ordered grapefruit juice...I said are you insane? But he drank it all and was fine all day so I guess he knows his body better than me ha ha
We shared a pressed pot of coffee too, we got 3 cups out of it but for once I got more than DH did, I had 2 cups and he had just 1...about time! The coffee is strong and wonderful and I love it and wish I could get it at any restaurant in WDW!
We shared a small fruit cup...where does WDW get their fruit cuz it rocks! Hmmm do they get it from the Land in Epcot??
DH had tonga toast and bacon....why I thought he would eat light is beyond me. He said the bacon was crispy and not greasy, the tonga toast was great but a bite or 2 is enough for me..too sweet.
I wanted eggs benedict but that is no longer available so I had the Kahuna Platter but today was a "I am going to be difficult day" and I asked for sausage and ham, they gave me an extra link instead of bacon, and I asked for an extra pancake instead of french toast and in the manner of Sally from When Harry Met Sally, I asked for the butter and pineapple sauce on the side. FINALLY! I scored nice soft fluffy, buttery wet scrambled eggs, and DOUBLE SCORE I had nice potatoes that were not burnt and the pancakes were amazing and I DETEST PANCAKES...Kona is the only place I will eat them. DH had the huge piece of ham and he said it was great, not salty at all. The sausages were good but too huge, I like the thin little ones from the food courts better.
We had a great breakfast, we were both feeling fine and we were going back to check out of POFQ...we loved our stay there and cannot wait to go back. Then we went to to a test run to the meeting place that Todd has to attend on Tues...and then to the Swan!
Oh Kona breakfast looks yummy. I have that one booked for dinner and breakfast in August. DS loves to share with me so we can try more things, so I will talk him into something sweet (Tonga Toast)and I will get something with eggs and then we will share.
Glad you guys feel better and Todd seems to have found his appetite!
I was lucky enough to be at the game but sadly they did not win. Dice K gave up too many runs and the Sox players just weren't hitting well today. We gave the game to the Texans 6-3.
Ahhhhh...ESPN Club, one of our faves. My DH has to have an order of those wings every trip.
Glad you weren't rained on today. We've found that sometimes it's raining at the resort but not at the park we're going too so we never let dark clouds stop us.
I especially enjoyed your Kona review because we'll be having breakfast there in just 2 months....and we're staying at the Swan. Also, to answer your baseball question, the Sox did not win today.
I've been lurking on your dining reports for quite some time now, but felt the need to come out of hiding on this one! I'm so glad to hear that you're both feeling better - being sick in WDW is the worst thing I can think of. Lunch at ESPN and a Red Sox game, however, is probably one of the best!
Also, you have no idea how relieved I am to know that I am not the only one who brings tupperware with me to take home some gingerbread men!!!! My DH thinks that I am totally cracked, but nothing beats those cookies! Hope you find some before you head home.
Enjoy the rest of your trip and I can't wait for more of your awesome reviews.
I'm glad your hubby is feeling better! I really want to try Kona when I go this fall with my niece and am torn between trying the tonga toast and the macadamia nut pancakes! I was thinking of her ordering the tonga toast and I would get the breakfast platter and we could share! This looks sooo good! Thanks again for the great pics!
Just caught up on your reviews! Like everyone else has said - so sorry you had such an AWFUL experience at Nine Dragon and that you both were feeling so yucky. Glad you both are better!!! After your RR review I am trying to find a replacement for it so I had actually thought about ND - thanks for being the guinea pig for us all - we will definetly stay clear of there!!! Still trying to figure out a new ADR...
Thanks for the Boardwalk Bakery menu pics - we are going to eat there one night. Glad you had a much better food day today! Enjoy your time at the Swan and the rest of your trip. I am looking forward to reading more food reviews!
I love pancakes, but not in large quantities, I tend to get sick if I eat too many! So the Kahuna platter seems perfect for me, a little bit of everything to sample!I first tried the macadamia nut pancakes in the Kahuna Platter and loved them so much the next time I ordered a regular order but they are not the same...in the regular order they put the nuts in the pancakes and it is just too rich..I prefer them the way they come on the Kahuna Platter instead...whatever you decide I hope you enjoy it!
