PV Sunday
Well, it was a bit rainy on Sunday so I did not get to take many photos. I did take a couple, but I haven't transfered them from my camera yet. I'll do that later today.
They have several restaurants here.
The first one we ate at was a buffet for lunch. It was not bad. Drink service was slow though. I didn't get a drink until after I had finished.
We had dinner the first night at Oceana, a seafood restaurant. I had tenderloin and shrimp. Again, the food was good but service was slow, both for drinks and for bringing out the courses. Teresa actually ordered a salad and never got it.
For lunch the next day we ate at the Seaside Grill. They open at 11am, we arrived around 1pm. Teresa ordered the Pizza, and they said they didn't have them made yet, so she switched to the Panini sandwich. Our food came out, and the Panini was just a regular sandwich. Meanwhile the guy beside us got a pizza! I ordered an appetizer "deep fried Jalepeno filled with Queso served with a side of tomato sauce". It came without the tomato sauce. I asked if I could have the tomato sauce, and they said to use the ketchup. Weird. For my main meal I ordered a "steak sandwich with melted cheese smothered in grilled onions, mushrooms, and peppers". It came out as a long steak you might get on a philly cheesesteak, only served on a hamburger bun. There was sliced onion, but no mushrooms or peppers, and no cheese to be found. I just took the steak out of the bun and ate it like that. The Seaside Grill was a bit disappointing to me, no idea why Teresa liked it.
Then for dinner yesterday we went to El Patio, which is their mexican restaurant. I think we should have started there. I thought everything was excellent. They had a good kid's menu for Mandy, and the food was very good. I ordered Grilled chicken with Adobo sauce, but I no longer expect anything to come out the way they say. There was no Adobo sauce, more of a rub. It was tasty though.
Anyway, we are switching rooms today to see what the suites are like. I'll write about that tonight. Mandy has discovered the "Kid's Club" and won't spend time with us anymore! She's off playing there most of the day. I think on Tuesday we'll do a swim with the dolphins tour. She'll like that.
