    Scallops are not suppose to be bland! They should have the flavors of the sea they were harvested from. Sounded like you got very fresh scallops.
    To me Flying Fish is a place to go if you love seafood.

      Agreed! I had that exact scallop dish when I was there in late 2022 and it was the best meal I had on property that stay. I thought they were excellent.

    Went to flying fish in Jan w/ my in-laws. I was so excited to show them this place I had heard so many great things, and it was honestly one of the worst meals we had aside from steakhouse 71. We could never find our waitress. The food, took an hour to come out and the fish was seriously overcooked.

    We were just at Disney World this April. Following Pete's recommendations, we dined at flying fish and steakhouse 71. Both were just amazing. My daughter and I are huge foodies and a great part of our trip is finding great places to eat. These two restaurants have become one of our favorites and we will definitely be coming back on future trips.

  • @jaywoods378

    No, I'm sorry. I don't agree that scallops should be bland tasting. However, I do think they don't need that much extra salt, since seafood is already salty.

      You are correct. And it's a bad choice as the main entree for this review. It needs to be an add on and not the main seafood dish you order. Would have liked to see some additional seafood options reviewed

    It’s very cool seeing the crew eat here once again and continuing to love it. On my trip last month I finally ate at Flying Fish based off the DIS’s past reviews, and I absolutely loved it! The pork belly is so good, the potato wrapped red snapper is phenomenal, and the service is top notch! Chelsea was our server and she was spectacular. Only been once but this is my favorite restaurant at WDW! Jaleo in a close second.
    Great review!

  • @disneyworldvacationer
    @disneyworldvacationer Год назад +16

    The hug at the end of this video with Pete and Chef Tim is the highlight here. It really shows how important WDW is to the lives of Pete and crew and I love them for it. They are just as emotionally invested as the rest of us fans are with Disneyworld 🤗 . Regarding the Flying Fish, as a person on vacation at WDW, its hard for me to put some of my limited time (and money) to go here because of the many other restaurant options in (to me) better locations and experience. I’m talking more specifically about the California Grill. If Im going signature, thats the quintessential WDW dining experience Im going with. If I was staying in the Boardwalk area and didn’t want to travel elsewhere or dine in epcot, this would then be an option. P.S: The real info here is no children were used in the coffee & thats the information Im really here for 😆

    • @JL-1123
      @JL-1123 Год назад +1

      For the record, I had the red snapper there a year ago and it was one of the best pieces of fish I've ever had. Also, my son (7 at the time) tried the octopus appetizer (or add-on, I don't remember how it was presented), and it was one of his favorite things he's ever eaten. My wife loved the scallops too - not sure if they were prepared differently last year or the guest in this review just got unlucky, but my wife is pretty sophisticated with her scallops and thought they were great. Family sample size of one, yes, but all seafood was fantastic for us.

    • @ohboy2592

    I'm not usually one to send food back, but I would if I paid $50 for a half dozen scallops and they were too salty. It's possible the cooks made a mistake. If something is over-salted it ruins the dish.

    Great review - had our first experience at the Flying Fish last week, and really loved it! We were staying at the Boardwalk for a night, and our waiter Izzi was great, as was my strip steak and my wife's seafood pasta...after seeing this, I wish I went with the pork belly for the appetizer, although the shrimp cocktail was outstanding in presentation :). We look forward to another stay at BWV and will for sure head back to the Flying Fish, hoping the next chef keeps Chef Tim's momentum up there!!

    I was just there tonight and had the bisque, the scallops and the cheesecake. Interestingly enough, I thought the bisque was a little salt forward, but the scallops were perfectly seasoned. Two of them were a tad overcooked but the other four were perfection. I went with the cheesecake at the recommendation of the bartender (I sat at the bar) and it was just right for me. Very light and not NY style at all. Had a wonderful time!

  • @dawnbeinlich2390

    Flying Fish was hands down my favorite restaurant, food wise, that we went to in September 2022. Unfortunately we will not be returning in December 2023, as the price is just a little too steep for what you get, in my opinion. But if you're up for a splurge this is def. the place to go!

    We went beginning of May and the service was bad. Our server, changed attitude when we didn’t go for his wine suggestion (150$ bottle ) he then forgot our appetizers and when we got our entrees my fish was overcooked and the other’s seafood pastas were warm....we chose this restaurant for the fish, I guess from your review, they should change the name 😂 to keep it a signature restaurant!

    Flying fish is our favorite restaurant for quality of food in all of Disney. The atmosphere here is very nice as well. The staff from top to bottom are amazing. Chef Tim does an amazing job, will answer any questions you have and even take time out of his evening to make small talk. Toledo is a close second for quality and experience. California Grill use to be the top for us but recent visits over the last few years and they’ve slid down the list. It’s great to see other higher quality restaurants to chose from besides Cali Grill.

Was heartbroken when he told us a few weeks ago he was leaving. He is the staple of this restaurant. I am honestly scared for the future of this restaurant now. It is perfection with him at the helm, ESPECIALLY THAT PORK BELLY!!

    Citrico's totally took our top spot in our visit last month, with Steakhouse 71 second. Flying Fish is normally our "go To" but this visit was awful. Terrible service, mediocre food (the vegetarian option is uncreative and bland at best) and non existent wine service. It honestly, if we are rating, barely hovered over quick service - but was $100+ per person. Very disappointed. But again - Citricos and Steakhouse 71 were both excellent.

    WDW hasn't been a Walt Disney type of experience for 20 yrs. Not as clean, too often run down, not the same attention to detail, and the worst thing...only those who can spend vast amounts of money get the best...the rest of us, especially locals...meh. Universal gives a much better experience and better rides overall... Disney is far behind Universal and is living off the past 1970's and 80's excellence they used to have....when imagination still mattered at Disney....now it's watered down versions of meh IPs with little detail.and immersion...just the obvious. The boardwalk area used to be top notch....now.... rarely impressive, just better than ok.....not worth the prices usually.

      @vespista1971 Год назад

      Strange, I order sea scallops often, and have never once had that happen to me. How do I know? Because I’m allergic to fish, and would be in the ER if it did. I am *not* allergic to crustaceans, so no problem with scallops. A restaurant would actually be flirting with a lawsuit by subbing fish for shellfish without disclosing it, because of allergy concerns.

      @@downtown_abown real scallops aren’t perfectly round but the fake ones usually are, they should be slightly sweet which shark, ray and skate are not, real scallops will also be the same thickness all around whereas fake ones usually won’t be.

      I highly doubt higher end restaurants do this. Have any proof?
