(Good quality cheeses and really good honey.) Owner and master sommelier George Miliotes was there, as he usually is, and he’s always a congenial host.
CIRQUE DU SOLEIL DRAWN TO LIFE OPENING DATE MAC
But a table opened up and we promised we would be there only a short time.īut we ordered the cheese board and some mac and cheese bites to nibble on, and of course had a glass of wine. That was due mostly to the crowds – every place was packed, including WBG, which would not allow us to stand at the bar – everyone must have a seat, we were told. We started at Wine Bar George and finished at Jaléo, but there wasn’t time for anything in between. I figured my guests and I would begin at Wine Bar George, stop in at Raglan Road or Morimoto Asia, duck underground to Enzo’s Hideaway, the finish at Jaléo. And they even include a new version of Wolfgang Puck Cafe, now back under the control of Puck and recommendable.įor my recent outing, I had intended to wine, dine and cocktail my way from one end of Disney Springs to the other, finishing near the Cirque du Soleil theater. And don’t get me started on Bongos, the dismal Cuban restaurant in the pineapple shaped building.īut look at the place now. Wolfgang Puck Cafe was there, in its original location, but its quality had sagged so much that I could not recommend it. They could get something just OK at House of Blues but they shouldn’t expect much in the way of a fine dining experience. In those early years, one of the most frequent requests I would get – via actual letters or real phone calls on a landline – were from people who wanted to know where they could dine before or after for the whole dinner and a show evening.
The entertainment complex itself has transitioned from Downtown Disney to Pleasure Island, and the addition of the West Side, to the current iteration of Disney Springs. (The aerialist and the juggler are amazing but they could have come up with a more thrilling act to close the show than people on swings.) I recommend it.īut I was struck by how things have changed since Cirque du Soleil’s “La Nouba” first opened in 1998 in the elaborate circus tent-shaped building that was purpose-built for it. It’s a good production – maybe not as jaw-dropping spectacular as “O” or “Ká” in Las Vegas but with some terrific moments. I went to Disney Springs recently to see Cirque du Soleil’s “Drawn to Life,” which features the same high-quality acrobats, aerialists, dancers, musicians and skilled performers you’ll find in other CdS shows but tied together with a storyline based on Disney animations.
