Citric-Notes
For anyone who has read my reports in the past, there is usually at least one meal where my tipsiness reflects itself in my notes and, finding my tipsy self hilarious, I type them up verbatim. This ladies in gentleman is the November 2017 version. Please do enjoy!
For dinner tonight we had another evening planned with my tipsy disney soul-sister, Ariane aka @ariane37 and her husband Steve. Their favorite Disney restaurant is Citricos, which we'd had a few good meals at before but had no where near the love Ariane had. Wanting to love this place as much as her, we thought it fitting to share our last meal together here.
We Uber'd to the Grand Floridian, where Casey wanted a photo shoot with her carriage necklace and Cinderella's carriage before we even entered.
We arrived a bit before Ariane and Steve. You can see Ariane's trip report for a full definition of "bit" here: https://www.disboards.com/threads/y...t-complete-1-25.3629182/page-19#post-58526404. Or you can just go by my tipsy notes which state "Uber to grand while wait for a who took luff wrong way."
While we waited we enjoyed a few cocktails before they arrived. Jason had a "Eye Me" aka Rye Whiskey on the rocks and Casey a Shirley Temple.
I went for the Nilet Silver Sicilian.
Being a Sicilian with a sour personality, this was right up my alley. Nolet's Gin, Limoncello, Bitters, and Mint all combined to put this typical beer and wine drinker in a good place.
After Ariane and Steve arrived we learned we couldn't be with their beloved server Ronnie, and instead we got the worlds slowest server. Oh well, more time together!
We eventually got some bread on the table and more importantly drinks.
The bread, per my notes, was "fne not especial" - catch the subtle spanish undertones - but I did enjoy my wine which was a Gruner Veltliner, one of my favorite wines. Or if you were reading my notes I got a "grinder veltlibry same ad fish" Yeah I got nothing on that.
Jason enjoyed another Rye or as I said in my notes "J rye and greT". I'm gonna guess the big T connotes, like Tony the Tiger, it was GRRRRRRRR-EATTTTTTT!
For our appetizers, Casey and I got the octopus which was a warm octopus salad featuring a smoky version of the mollusk paired with chickpeas, tomatoes and fluffy potato foam with a subtle pepper flavor from a basil aioli.
This was "tender with great flavor" but could have "bee warmer."
Jason ordered the Florida Shrimp with House-made Gnocchetti Sardi Pasta, spicy Puttanesca Sauce, Baby Spinach, Parmesan
This was 'like peas from narcooseess but shimp col and add flavor from 2 much anchovy inpunfanesxa" Dang inpunfanesxa ruins a dish every time.
