Food Review:
|
The food at the Tavern is generally
good, but not very authentic to the period.
1997: Barb ordered the vegetable turkey soup ($3.25) and
Pilgrim's Feast turkey dinner ($11.25). I selected the turkey corn
chowder ($3.25) and Cape Cod chicken pasta dish ($12.75 and
nothing like anything you'd find in New England in the 16th
Century, but that's ok...it was very good). We both had birch beer
to drink ($1.75 ea). All was good, but we felt rushed
because Allan was teething and was very, very crabby.
1995: To drink, we all had an orange sherbet punch that
was served in souvenir mugs ($5.50 ea). It was really good, and
since the Food and Fun card covered the cost, the mugs were a nice
bonus. I had some "country wedding" soup as an appetizer
($3.25). Barb and Stacey both had fried mozzarella and cheddar
cheese with tomato sauce to dip ($4.75 ea). Mike had clam chowder
($3.50). For our entrees, Stacey and I both had the
"Pilgrim's Feast" turkey dinner ($11.25 ea). Barb and
Mike both ordered "New England Pot Roast" ($11.75 ea).
For desert, Barb had strawberry shortcake, Mike had apple pie ala
mode, and Stacey had a couple scoops of cinnamon ice cream. I
passed. I was so full...

Service Review:
|
Never spectacular, but never bad,
either. Just decent service in a place where exceptional
service is common. |
Atmosphere Review:
|
1993: We fell in love with the
colonial decor. The squeaking floors and fireplaces highlighted
the atmosphere. |

One comment here, I think it would be
really cool if Disney was to rehab the menu at this restaurant to
emulate the meals offered at Colonial Williamsburg in Virginia. At
the King's Arms Tavern and Christiana Campbell's Tavern they serve
authentic-to-the-period meals that are really quite interesting as
well as delicious. I remember the peanut soup that I had at the
King's Arms as being particularly good, and very unusual. As it
is, it seems that Disney is turning toward Cracker Barrel
restaurants for inspiration. Williamsburg would be better, in my
opinion. |
