We had an 8 p.m. dinner PS at the Rose and Crown (at EPCOT, in the UK). Background:
My Mom (50s) likes practically everything but is the best at knowing whats good and what isnt. Favorites are Italian and seafood.
My dad (50s) extremely picky! Favorites are Barbecue, Italian and seafood.
Myself (30) - always told I was a picky eater but compared to my dad, Im not! Favorites are Asian food and seafood.
My daughter (5-1/2) doesnt like traditional kids foods like mac and cheese, etc. Has developed a gourmet taste already! Favorites are pasta, crab legs, salmon and ribs.
We are all major dessert lovers.
Our rating system is yucky, so-so, good, very good, and excellent.
Our PS was to coincide with Illuminations. What we werent planning on was the downpour that occurred that night at around 5 p.m. and lasted for about 5 hours. We decided to stay and wonder around World Showcase with our sopping ponchos on, until we couldnt take it any longer and checked in early at 7 p.m. The restaurant was a zoo! They said people wouldnt leave their tables because they didnt want to go out in the rain!!! They were way behind in PSs because people would not leave! They said they were pleading with them to no avail. It could have rained all night were these selfish people willing to sit there all night?! We went in where it was dry and watched my daughter make her mask at the Kidcot Fun Stop for about an hour before we got a table. People were finally starting to clear out.
After we ordered, 3 women approached our table and, addressing my daughter, told her how Mickeys car broke down and he wouldnt be able to start the fireworks and would she be willing to do it? Of course she heartily replied, Yes! At 8:55 p.m., we went outside and they gave her a light-up stick and at the right moment told her to turn it on and the fireworks started. It was a very special moment for us! We ended up being the last ones in the restaurant and leaving after 10 p.m. The rain had stopped and we had the park to ourselves as we walked out. Now for the food:
I ordered the Famous Fish and Chips. They were good but not crisp enough for my taste. The peas were delicious.
My mom ordered the Roasted Chicken and thought it was good. She also had a seasonal salad with the mustard vinaigrette, which was excellent.
My dad ordered the Bangers and Mash and said it was really good. He also had a seasonal salad with the Stilton blue cheese dressing, which was excellent.
My daughter ordered the Pasta with marinara sauce.
For dessert, we shared a Baileys Irish Crème Brulee, which was just good.
I have the dinner and kids menus if anyone is interested in details.
Well probably skip the Rose and Crown on our next visit to EPCOT because there are many other restaurants wed like to try.
