Cheryl, I am curious if Mark had the hamburger at Beaches & Cream? I read recently they have changed the patties they use and it's gone down hill.

He says it tasted different, but it's still better than anything else on property.

As for the Liberty Tree Tavern, we ate there in December 2002 and although we enjoyed it, it's not one of our favourite character meals. There's nothing wrong with it particularly - it's just we've had better dinners at places like Chef Mickey's and the Crystal Palace. The characters weren't playing up much the night we went to LTT and the food wasn't anything out of the ordinary.

Hi there Melissa....my family and I ate there for dinner b4 MVMCP. I thought the food was good especially the honey butter they have for the bread. We were actually considering checking this place out for lunch on our next trip.The menu looks yummy!!!!!!!!!!

Hi Cheryl,

We are going to be trying Mama Melrose in February. How was your lunch there?

Hi Cheryl
I thought I had read on another of your posts that you were disappointed with the Concourse Steakhouse. m I was just wondering why?

Hi Cheryl, I am not going for a long time, as you can see by my counter

but am still trying to plan ahead. It just makes it more exciting. I am thinking of Bomas for dinner, I have two kids they will be 6 and 11 when we go. What did you think??? Have you ever eaten at Jiko at the AKL this also looked interesting. Thanks for all you info, I have put a star by Ohanas. The picture of you and your husband is great.

Cheryl,

I'm in planning mode at the moment and my DH and I want to eat places we haven't eaten before. Interested in dinner at Teppanyaki as we have seen mixed reviews on the actual food (while the "show" was good) and Concourse Steakhouse. Also did you use the food court at Saratoga Springs? Thanks in Advance

Let me take these one by one...

Our lunch there wasn't bad. As you may remember we had dinner here as part of the Fantasmic package in May and had an awesome time - one of the best meals of that vacation. By comparison, this time it wasn't as good. It wasn't awful, the food was fine, but nothing that special and neither was the service. Last time we got Kevin and apparently it's not unusual for people to wait 30 minutes for him, he is that good, but unfortunately the day we went, he wasn't working and the server we got wasn't the greatest. I had to grab a manager to get some water, as we hadn't seen him for a while. As I say, there was nothing fundamentally wrong here, but we had a far better meal in May. We decided to take this off our "must do" list and put it on our "we'll go there if we get a chance" list.

The thing which made the meal at the Concourse so bad was the service - and Joy (JoyJ) will back me up on this, as she was dining with us with her family. The server stood talking to his friend for ten minutes, while we waited for drinks refills. We were booked in at midday and he only had about three tables to attend to, so he was not busy. He was also very rude and sullen and only came to give us drinks refill, when we asked another CM for help.

Add to that, both Mark's entree and mine were cold when they were first brought out, so they had to be re-heated and it wasn't at all good. This is our third meal there now and our first disappointment. It is such a shame as we've had a couple of excellent meals there and that's why we suggested going there with Joy and her family. That's the one good thing I can say about the meal - the company was excellent

Oh and the desserts were very good too.

I think your kids would be fine at Boma - we went there with Maureen (statelady01) and her husband and I know they were talking about taking their kids there and they range in age from 3 - 11 (I think I got that right - sorry if I didn't!

) If they're not adventurous eaters, there's a kids section full of the usual fare, but I also saw a lot of kids up there enjoying all the more unusual food, particularly the desserts!

We've been here now three times and every time we have an excellent meal with the sort of food you can rarely get hold of. I think it's a perfect choice.

As to Jiko, it's more upscale and more expensive. Although we had a good meal here, we didn't rate it as much as Boma, which we felt was better value for money, but I know that a lot of people do love Jiko on the boards, so maybe that's just us.
