Boardwalk Entertainment Complex

[fanofwdw]

Dear Disney-o-philes:

I would like to take my wife out for a night on the town. Boardwalk looks more like our style, especially given the Atlantic Dance Club. We love to swing and cha cha. Does anyone have any experience and opinions about the restaurants and the Club?

Thanks!

HI,

I would suggest that you eat at either Spoodles (mediterranean) or the Flying Fish(seafood). The Atlantic Dance Hall does serve snacks and drinks. Here is a site where you can check out the club.

I totally agree with Spoodles recommendation (I don't like seafood,so I can't comment on the Flying Fish). We ate at Spoodles twice on our last vacation (1 week ago) and thought the food/service/surroundings were excellent.

I agree with Piglet....we like Spoodles a lot.
***thread drift***
And hi, Piglet! Good to "see" you! (I haven't gotten the photo developed yet. )

Sorry!

 

[Piglet]

Good to "see" you too! I can't wait to see the pic!!

Thank you and more questions...

Thanks for all of the comments so far. Spoodles is probably a better choice for us given my wife doesn't care too much for seafood. What are your recommendations for entrees? What's the theming/atmosphere of the restaurant?

Does anyone have more details about the Atlantic Dance Club? A phone number or website for the club specifically would be great.

Kingdom Konsultant...posted a thread on the Orlando Swing Forum about ADC. In checking out the other threads of people visiting the World from other parts of the country, the locals only mentioned CityJazz at Universal. There was no mention of ADC. Does anyone know why?

Thanks again all...

Never had the pleasure of dining in either place - heard they're both awesome though! I'm sure you'll have a great time either way!

The filet mignon and the lamb chops are both very good. And the cheese cake with caramel sauce is to die for.

 

[cymbaldiva]

Cheesecake w/ caramel sauce? That is SO my fav! Oh Yummy!! :slurp: Now which restuarant is that in?

 

[mousecar]

If you like steaks, you should walk or take the ferry to the Yacht Club. The Yachtsman's Steakhouse is one of our favorite restaurants.

It is my understanding that that the Atlantic Dance Club is not a Swing club anymore but a Salsa club.

The cheesecake is found at Spoodles.

At Spoodles I highly recommend doing the "tapas" thing. You can order a bunch of different appetizer(sp?) size dishes and try them all. We did that when we were there and our server really got into helping us pick and recommending dishes. He even threw in a dish for no charge when he recommended it and we were too wimpy to try it (squid ink rice--suprizingly very good)!!

This is one of our favorite restaurants!

Sorry... my mouth is watering! :slurp: but this is the first time that I hear that a restaurant carries one of our favorite seafood dishes! I´m not sure if that is what you meant, but we love the squids cooked in its ink and served with white rice on the side. Delicious! It´s something my mom and grandma cook and I had only have it at very few restaurants at the beach here. :slurp:

I really liked Spoodles, and for a drink, go to Jellyrolls! :sohappy:

Sorry for the drift, but what does squid taste like? Is it like fish or lobster?

Thanks! I'll have to check it out!

As for the tapas, I thought I'd heard they didn't do that anymore...hoping I'm wrong on that - sounds yummy! About the squid, I've only had it fried...it's pretty darn tasty! :slurp:

 

[Jonº0º]

dont forget jellyrolls...

If you are into "singalong" music outside the shower stop at Jellyrolls. It is my favorite club in all of Disneyworld. Threre are two dueling pianos with very talented performers. Always a great time.

 

[cymbaldiva]

I don't personally care for Jellyrolls...one of the piano players was ugly to me. ( and why no, I didn't do anything ugly to him first! :lol: )
