Figment's Spring Trip to Disneyland, Continued...
Cafe Orleans, Lunch
Cafe Orleans is still one of Figment's favorite places to have lunch. He usually requests a table by the rail so that he can watch the Rivers of America and New Orleans Square while he dines. When the weather is nice, CO is great place to have lunch!
Mint Julep - The new mint julep recipe is growing on Figment. It's much more consistent now and still has a stronger lemon-lime taste than the previous (very green) one.
Seasonal Soup - The seasonal soup was the Chicken Gumbo. The gumbo was still on the menu! We asked our server about it being seasonal and this time the server seemed to think it was unlikely to go away (last time we asked the server seemed to think there was a chance that the chef was going to try something different).
Seafood Gratin - Creamy blend of Lump Crab, Shrimp, Spinach, and creamy Tarragon Dressing served with Seasoned Croutons. This is one of Figment's new favorites at Cafe Orleans. Lots of seafood mixed in a light sauce. It's really good!
Pommes Frites - Traditional French Fried Potatoes tossed with Parmesan, Garlic, and Parsley served with Cajun Spice Rémoulade. A classic! Figment gets this every time he goes to Cafe Orleans. (Tip: ask for extra remoulade; it's really good!)
Lobster Cobb Salad - Mixed Greens, Roasted Corn, Cherry Tomatoes, Cucumbers, Bacon, and Lobster with an Avocado Vinaigrette. Sometimes a salad is nice change. This salad is nice and refreshing, with a good amount of lobster. Yum!
Carnation Cafe, Dinner
Carnation Cafe is another one of Figment's favorite table service locations in DLR. In good weather he likes to sit outside and watch what's happening on Main Street. In colder/wet weather, he likes to sit inside. The weather was nice, so it was good to eat outside.
Fried Pickles with Dipping Sauce - Dill Pickle Spears dipped in Parmesan and Panko, Fried Golden Brown and served with a House Sauce. This is still Figment's favorite item at Carnation Cafe. The pickles are crisp on the outside and pickle-y on the inside. Yum!
Baked Potato Soup - with Bacon, Cheddar, Monterey Jack, Sour Cream, and Chives. This soup is very filling! It's a very rich soup with lots of flavor.
Romaine Salad with Shrimp - Succulent Shrimp, Romaine, Avocado, Tomatoes, and Hickory-smoked Bacon, with creamy Ranch. This another pretty good salad option; the shrimp were good sized and had good flavor.
Homemade Meatloaf - Our special blend of Beef and Pork served with Ketchup Glaze, Mashed Potatoes, Mushroom Gravy, and Seasonal Vegetables. This is still the only meatloafs the Figment likes. It has a firm texture and lots of good flavor. The veggies are always kind of meh (Figment likes brocoli, but not cauliflower).
Cove Bar, Dinner
Figment was happy to see that the Cove Bar was open (albiet only temporarily) because that means Lobster Nachos! The deck area is surrounded by scrims so that guests cannot (easily) see the lagoon or Pixar Pier construction. It gave the place a slightly boxed in feel, but that can't be helped.
Sparkling NO-Jito - Fresh Lime Juice, Agave Nectar, and Mint topped with Soda Water. Trying something new. This drink was pretty good; not to tart, not to sweet. Very refreshing.
Bloody Mary - The Cove Bar makes a pretty good Bloody Mary.
Tri-Tip Sliders - Set of three Mojo Criollo with crispy Onions on Toasted Amish Buns. The Cove Bar no longer features a trio of different slides, now it's three of the same kind. That being said, Figment really liked these sliders. They were tender and juicy, with good flavor.
CB Lobster Nachos - Tender Lobster Pieces atop fresh House-made Tortilla Chips with Black Beans, Pico de Gallo, Chipotle Crèma, and our Signature Aged Cheddar and Oaxaca Cheese Sauce. Lobster Nachos! These are still Figment's favorite thing at the Cove Bar. So good!
