In a beautiful art deco jazz bar while we waited for our table. Heck, we knew it was ready to go, it was just an excuse to drink a cocktail at Disneyland. It's the only place you can get one, and they were GOOD!
1st course for me, BBQ quail with sweet corn served with a sparkling wine.
1st course for him, Pate maison and charcuterie
Second course, My chilled tomato soup with chunks of prawn, lemon sorbet, croutons and other yumminess. Served with a beautiful, crisp sauvignon blanc ... I think, LOL.
There doesn't seem to be a picture of someone else's 2nd course, a fantastic frisee with pistachios, bleu cheese and fruit. Nice, but no picture.
My main course was a lobster salad, which is why I elected to have soup for my 2nd course. It was fantastic. Crisp, sweet lobster, tangy dressing, bitter endive and purple arugula. It was so beautiful. Paired with a Sancerre.
His main course? Smoked chicken ravioli with ham and crawfish. Beautiful, smoky but light tasting entree. Served with a fantastic red wine (below)
This red wine made us laugh... what better than a "pirate" wine when you are sitting above Pirates of the Caribbean. Pirate "La Sirena" TreasuRed, about $65 at retail. We enjoyed a nice tasting with his entree. Even though I got a white wine pairing with my lobster, the sommelier gave me a healthy taste of this too. Yum.
We elected to add another course to our 4 course lunch...
So egads, 5 courses!
Cheese platter extraordinare with bleu cheese with honey (!), goat cheese and a slightly sweet panna cotta. Lots of dried fruits and fruit extracts, served with a sherry that made our whole day.
For this course we had the same thing, I was glad to not share...
I ordered the most unusual dessert I could find, Sweet corn Creme Brulee with a bunch of other exciting tidbits. I wish I could tell you more about them, I just remember one was chocolate covered buttered popcorn.
His dessert? Why Monkey bread and ice cream, what else?
What lunch is complete without a cappucino?
You need some other photos of the place?
The door, knock, knock, please let me in.

From the courtyard, friends are waving to us!
