Mizner's Lounge - Orlando

We were celebrating my wife's 75th birthday in style so we decided to go Disney World's best resort, the Grand Floridian, and to its Citricos Restaurant. First a word from an old-timer about dress...can you imagine, even in this day and age of casual resort world that young ladies would come to a top flight restaurant in jeans with holes all over as if they were vagrants off the street. The men were only slightly better, mostly unshaven and cruddy looking. In addition, would you expect in a place like Citricos where you pay over $100 per person that parents would bring infants and young children...I had to turn down my hearing aids four notches, the noise was so bad. So, enough about the ambiance...well it was a very nice place overlooking the Grand Floridians main swimming pool and we did get to watch a rocket launch from Cape Canaveral. The menu is miniscule, the choices not enough to satisfy many people...more appetizers than entrees, with caviar going at over $145 an ounce. As far as the entrees were concerned my wife splurged with a pretty good, but ordinary, $55 steak and I had the poorly described short ribs which in fact were just stringy pot roast and a portion so small that it looked smaller than it was when served on a regular dinner plate. The roasted Brussel sprouts were however a bright spot. Wine...$15 a pop per glass and up...don't even ask how much a bottle cost. The big bright spot was the fabulous service. Tom, our waiter was attentive and very amiable. So, if you haven't gotten my drift yet, the bottom line is that this was not worth the money even with a 50% discount coupon that made things a bit more tolerable.

We went here for two friends birthday. Had a wonderful evening. The atmosphere is just lovely. We started off with an assortment of rolls. I had the steak fillet mignon with broccolini both cooked perfectly for dessert. Our server gave us a little complimentary dessert to help us celebrate with our friends after dinner, we walked outside to watch the fireworks and saw the gingerbread house. Such a beautiful hotel.

Wow. Just Wow. I believe this to be one of the best meals I have had at Disney all these years! Thankfully I remembered to take photos of both our meals! We always have at least 1 dinner here, when we are at Disney. I had the pork tenderloin. My mother had the steak. Each meal was fantastic. Check out the Dessert. It was the odd looking, but delicious. Our server was amazing. Nothing else could have made it better. The menu, I am sure has changed for the seasons, it will not matter. The food is simply Amazing.

We had a wonderful experience here. Our waiter David was excellent and so was the food. The chicken roulade was a bit plain but the filet was excellent. Don’t skip dessert, the chocolate torte and apple rose were fantastic. We even saw fireworks from back dining room.

First off just know that many of pictures highlighted in this listing of the decor etc. are dated it is now much nicer and brighter! Now to the rest of the review. Had a great meal here. Checked in and was seated early. Waitress was helpful and amazing. It was great to see actual mocktails listed on the drink menu. Had a couple and they were great. Started with the strawberry salad dish and it was unique. It arrived and I thought I wouldn't like it BUT it surprised me. The strawberries however were the worst part. Then I had a delicious filet for dinner and the it was great along with amazing mashed potatoes. I was to full to have dessert. I would HIGHLY recommend this place for a nicer meal out.
