After resting a little while, we got changed for our dinner ADR at California Grill. I didn't, but should have gotten a picture of us! We had plenty of time, so we caught a bus to MK and walked over to the Contemporary.
We checked in and were quickly whisked upstairs in the elevator. Then we waited a few more minutes to be seated. We were not seated at a window, but I did have a nice view from the booth seat I was in.
Our server, Walter, soon approached and we placed our order.
We shared the goat cheese ravioli appetizer.
We both really enjoyed this.
I ordered the filet with mac and cheese instead of the risotto and Brian ordered the bison. They don't necessarily look very appetizing in my pictures, but we both very much enjoyed our food!!
We weren't going to order dessert, but the people at the table next to us had ordered the S'mores Bomboloni and it looked delicious, so we decided to try it. Unfortunately, I forgot to take a picture until we were almost finished with it!
And it was delicious!!
Now, this next part really bothers me! When we first sat down and Walter greeted us, he took a moment to read my pin that said we were celebrating our 20th anniversary and it was actually today. He congratulated us at that time. I continued to wear my button the entire meal. After he took our dessert order, but before bringing it out, he brought a piece of cake to the table and said he wanted to wish me a very happy birthday!!
So, not a big deal in the big scheme of things, but it just rubbed me the wrong way! Having said that, the cake was delicious!!
We hung out just talking for a little while because it was raining and we didn't want to give up our table to go outside and stand in the cold and rain waiting for the fireworks. And we actually ended up just sitting at the table to watch fireworks. Brian just came over and sat in the booth seat with me. It wasn't a horrible view until they seated someone at the table right in front of us!
Beyond the cake thing, I was a little disappointed in our Cali Grill experience. I don't like that we were seated right on top of the people on either side of us. I hated having to listen to their conversations, and feeling like I couldn't have a real conversation because they would be listening to me. It was so loud in there, too. Just not the intimate experience I would have liked to have had considering how much we paid for the meal. The food was delicious, but I don't know that we will be back anytime soon.
We then headed back to CBR. I don't know if I ate too much, or if something I ate didn't sit right, but I was up sick all that night!

Not a great way to end our anniversary!!
