PHOTOS: A first look at the gastronomic experience of the 50th anniversary of California Grill at Disney World
This week we celebrated the 50th anniversary in a number of ways.
We checked out new entertainment options, bought new merchandise, and ate a TON of snacks. We now head to California Grill at Disney’s Contemporary Resort to enjoy the new 50th Anniversary Award set menu.
Atmosphere
When we arrived at Disney’s Contemporary Resort, we headed to the second floor to check in for food. Here you will take the private elevator that leads to California Grill.
Once we reached the top of the complex, we were greeted by the cast members and took a look at the Dress Code.
They gave us a copy of the menu to check it out and there are so many options to choose from.
There was a wide selection of snacks …
… Starters ..
… and dessert!
There was also a range of wines …
… cocktails …
… as well as sake, hard ciders and beers!
When ordering, you will choose an aperitif, a starter and a dessert. Food costs $ 89 (excluding taxes and tip) for adults and $ 39 for children.
The food
We started the meal with a drink, ordering the Icewine Martini with Belvedere Vodka, Inniskillin Vidal Icewine, Flame Raisins on the Vine per $ 23 and the Blueberry Lemon Drop Martini with Vodka with three olive blueberries, lemon and pomegranate juices, sugary edge per $ 15.
For the appetizer, we got the Lobster and parsnip biscuit (new) with Lobster, Champagne, Crème Fraîche, Xirivia Crisp …
… Homemade duck pizza made in L’Orange (new) with Ham and duck confit, pickled shallots, black orange fig jam, aged blue cheese, arugula …
