We celebrated our son\u2019s birthday dinner at Disneyworld at a restaurant called Citrico\u2019s in the Grand Floridian hotel.\u00a0 It\u2019s pretty casual, as most Disney restaurants are, but the food is surprisingly good.\u00a0 With five reasonably sophisticated eaters, there were a lot of fun choices.<\/p>\n

Dinner started with an amuse bouche from the chef of venison with capers.<\/p>\n

\"amuse<\/a><\/p>\n

There were a variety of appetizers ordered, including arancini (crispy risotto with crimini mushrooms, asiago, and charred tomato coulis),<\/p>\n

\"arancini\"<\/a><\/p>\n

a charcuterie plate (with prosciutto, beef bresaola, duck breast prosciutto, and palacio chorizo),<\/p>\n

\"charcuterie<\/a><\/p>\n

a cheese plate (with murcia al vino from Spain, fourme d\u2019Ambert from Auvergne and petit agour from the Basque region),<\/p>\n

\"cheese<\/a><\/p>\n

a macerated heirloom tomato salad,<\/p>\n

\"macerated<\/a><\/p>\n

and saut\u00e9ed shrimp in lemon, white wine, tomatoes, and feta cheese.<\/p>\n

\"sauteed<\/a><\/p>\n

I\u2019ve also included a photo of the cheese plate description.<\/p>\n

\"description<\/a><\/p>\n

There were only two different main courses ordered at the table (evidently, we suffered appallingly from a lack of originality when ordering that night).\u00a0 The most popular dish was Berkshire pork two ways, consisting of a rotisserie pork tenderloin and roasted pork belly with aged white cheddar polenta, escarole, Brentwood corn salsa and cherry gastrique.<\/p>\n

\"Berkshire<\/a><\/p>\n

The other main course was Madeira-braised short ribs served over trofie pasta with wild mushroom ragout and truffle cr\u00e8me fraiche.<\/p>\n

\"madeira<\/a><\/p>\n

There was a celebratory birthday treat of miniature vanilla ice cream cones with sprinkles on top.\u00a0 Unfortunately, these were consumed before I could get a photo of the dish (I often lose dessert photos that way).<\/p>\n

The birthday boy was quite happy with the birthday festivities.\u00a0 Of course, popcorn and hot dogs would have been fine since he was already at the happiest place on earth!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
