We finished the meal about 99.9% confident that we had concluded the best meal of our lives. (Apologies to all my matrilineal family who also make the Cuban version (flan) of this beautiful dish.)

We shared a vast salad before our entrees that tasted like the greens had been picked that day. My wife, a more traditional-type patron, had the best filet of her life, cooked as she requested, with the creamiest red-skinned mashed potatoes.

Those desserts are probably the smallest portion desserts I have ever been served in any fine dining establishment but at least the taste was spectacular. I could have overlooked the slow valet service but a tough steak in a place that is supposed to offer a better quality steak is hard to overlook. Magical Dining is a chance to show off what you have to offer. The steaks being tough and lacking in flavor was disappointing and the portion of the dessert left a lot to be desired. Valet Service - 2 Hostess - 5 Servers - 5 Bread - 4 Salad - 3 Steak - 2 Mashed Potatoes - 4 Green Beans - 3 Desserts - 3 I wanted to love this place BUT the the LONG wait for the valet to park and retrieve the car did not overwhelm me. The desserts were incredible regarding taste and presentation BUT the portion left a lot to be desired. The French green beans were perfectly cooked but they could have left out the tomato. ![]() The Mashed Potatoes were delicious and the skin added a nice rustic texture. The Steaks arrived and they were cooked medium rare as requested BUT the steaks were a bit on the tough side and the flavor was a bit underwhelming.

Family style Mashed potatoes and French green beans were provided with the meal. For dessert my wife had the Flour-less Espresso Cake and I had the Cheesecake with fresh berries. We started with the Wedge Salad and chose the 14oz and 18oz strip steaks being offered on the Magical Dining menu. The wine the girls selected had a nice bouquet but since since I can't drink any longer, I can only say that they approved of the wine they selected. When they arrived, we were immediately shown to our table and the service ALL NIGHT was SUPERB! We were brought some bread and it was delicious. ![]() We were the offered a seat at the bar while we waited but since the kids just pulled up we elected to wait for them. We went inside and informed the hostess we were waiting on the rest of the party and she asked for my valet ticket so she could validate it. It took nearly 20 minutes just to get a valet ticket and I was surprised that the valet did not even open the door for my wife. We arrived only to find a LONG line of cars waiting to get valet service. It is Magical Dining again and the kids wanted chose Capital Grille on I Drive. ![]()
