This is going to be my favorite reviews. Lots happened so of course, I took lots of pictures. We arrived about 10 minutes early for our 6:20 p.m. ADR. It seemed to be very busy in there and the lobby is not big enough to accomodate all of the people that were waiting. They actually began turning away people without ADR's after about 15 minutes. We waited 10 more minutes (a grand total of 25 minutes) before we were seated in left back area of the restaurant. My first impression was "how cute!" It wasn't anything "fancy" but it sure was homey. Our waiter was very very nice but a little hard to understand. After ordering our drinks we were ready to get started. Matt ordered the mozzarella with tomatoes (http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y192/poeticeclipse/Disney%20Dining/599.jpg). He claimed that he could have eaten a huge plate of just that. I got vegetarian minestrone (http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y192/poeticeclipse/Disney%20Dining/600.jpg). I'm a huge minestrone fan and this did not disappoint. It was great because it was chunky but not thick in texture.
Entree time came along and we were super excited! Matt ordered his favorite thing... pizza! His four cheese flatbread (http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y192/poeticeclipse/Disney%20Dining/602.jpg)came out smelling WONDERFUL. It ended up tasting just as great. My wood grilled salmon was very unique and tasty. I don't know what was on top of it but I really didn't like that much. The zuccini was very good but I didn't really eat the cabbage. For some reason, my mom's cabbage always wins! haha. After dinner our waiter asked us if we were going to be at MGM the rest of the night and we said "yes, we're staying for Fantasmic." He said "well, tell take this around to the special entrance and you can get VIP seating." We thanked him for the VIP card and then ordered dessert. Matt couldn't wait to try some real gelato (http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y192/poeticeclipse/Disney%20Dining/610.jpg). He LOVED it. To him, nothing can compare. haha. I ordered tiramisu with much anticipation. Sadly, this was the only thing that I ended up being a bit disappointed in. I really didn't think that it was anything special. I've had tiramisu (http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y192/poeticeclipse/Disney%20Dining/611.jpg) before and it was much better than this. Oh well. 2/3 is pretty good to me. Our waiter even came out and congratualated us on our honeymoon and then gave us a very special dessert (http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y192/poeticeclipse/Disney%20Dining/612.jpg). I ate more of this than my tiramisu. It reminded me of the chocolate wave over at Coral Reef. Very very yummy and filling.
We walked out of this place with a tummy ache because we ate so much. It was one of those happy tummy aches. hehe. Speaking of walking out, as we came upon the waiting area to leave, we discovered 3 CM's with mops and about 100 towels on the floor. We overheard a CM telling another guest that a pipe broke and there was a massive leak. *phew* glad that I wasn't working there that night.
9/10
