Food – The Johnsons

New Years Eve

We went out to Market to Table for dinner on New Years Eve and I have to say although the service was great we were disappointed by several of the courses. It was a fixed menu for the night, but had several options for each course.

For starters Richard ordered the salmon and although it tasted nice it was served in a bowl and didn’t have much salmon in it. I ordered the roasted beets with a goat cheese and the beets were not anything special, but the goat cheese was really nice!

For the second course I ordered the crab/shrimp cake and it was really nice, but a little on the small side. Richard ordered lamb and said it was nice.

The main course was really done very well. The lentils were a nice addition to my fish and it had a nice crust on it. Richard ordered chicken and other than it being on the bone it was tasty.

For the final course I ordered the bread pudding and it was just ok, nothing special. Richard made the better choice and ordered the chocolate lava cake…

Overall a nice evening out!

Christmas Day

We had a lovely Christmas Day. It started as a relaxing morning at home with the kitties and then we ventured down Bar George for lunch. There were two options for a main and they were both amazing. I went for the sea bass and Richard had the filet. After lunch we quickly headed home as Disney Springs was packed with people. The afternoon involved a nap on the couch with the kitties!

Saturday morning.

It was a typical Saturday morning around our house. Emma made sure I was up by 4:30 am so I could be ready to head down for breakfast and the farmers market.

Thanksgiving lunch

It was a lot of work to make, but definitely worth it!

Saturday morning

So Emma of course had me up at 4:00 am again. After entertaining the cats for a few hours I decided to take myself out for breakfast before the farmers market opens. It has been a lovely morning out, I love this time of the year!

Productive morning

It has been a productive morning. I cleaned the kitchen, made some banana bread from scratch then got to clean the kitchen again!

Now I am enjoying it with a nice cup of tea.

Small world

Last night we went to a great little restaurant called Market to Table in Winter Garden. Our server had a Scottish accent so I asked where he was from in Scotland… turns out he is from Orkney! Such a small world!

Melts on Main

One of my favorite restaurant is a place called Melts on Main. It is a little sandwich shop in downtown Winter Garden and has a great lunch menu. For the first time we went to try their happy hour special, which includes an appetizer with every bottle of wine you purchase.

It was a lovely night out and the company, food and wine were amazing. We will definitely return for happy hour!

The Foreign Experience

Last night was another pop up dinner with Chef Bruno Fonseca at Melts on Main. Once again it is hard to say what my favorite course was… it might have been the beef as it was gone before I even thought about taking a photo.
