The first appetizer you thought tasted like soap water is because of the cilantro. Some people genetically taste "soapyness" flavor from cilantro
I thought that was what it was. I was going to look it up.
Agree. Some people just aren’t into cilantro and what they usually say is it tastes “soapy” to them.
A *halfway decent* server would have prepared you/asked if you do not like cilantro, spicy food, have allergies, etc.
What's with the staff's fake "fraunch" accents? I speak multiple languages, there's NO NEED for that ridiculous, unintelligible fake "fraunch" accent.
The Chef seems... new?
Refusing to customize/dictating a RIGID menu for a high-end restaurant? 🤷
That seems so... cafeteria "chef". Serving pre-made portions, with zero live prep, and zero flexibility/substitutions in not being a "Chef".
The over use of FAD foods (edible flowers, foam... and let me guess... smoking dishes, "popping" foods, etc?) and not focussing on simple high quality ingredients (like genuine Wagu beef), customization, and good preparation...
Red flag.
It's a FRENCH restaurant?
WHERE'S THE FRENCH DISHES?
The pretentious change of silverware/napkins prior to dessert was just a ridiculous empty gesture - theatrics - to cover up the poor quality food.
High quality dining is centered around the CUSTOMER.
How sad. What a rip-off.
Thanks for the review. I don’t really have a problem with the unknown menu, BUT I think it’s unacceptable that they made you guys feel bad for not ordering alcohol. There could be so many reasons someone doesn’t want to drink, including being in recovery for alcoholism (not that you are, but you could be for all that waiter knows)!
I’ve seen a few people comment these things but just to reiterate. Not being able to choose your appetizer/entree/etc is very common in high end restaurants - pre fixed menus are the norm in high end restaurants. The amuse Bouche that you didn’t like probably contained cilantro - which to some people tastes like soap. The silverware change for dessert is very common, so you don’t “taste the dinner” on your spoon while eating dessert. Gold silverware is preferred because it has less of an aftertaste than silver. As for why the server hovered, that’s traditional French service. Serving the French way has VERY specific rules about what the server has to do. (No fingers on top of the plates, the plates have to be set down and picked up on specific sides, etc) - and one of those rules is that he’s expected to wait behind you in case you need something.
Exactly. I really don’t know why they went. I grew up with humble beginnings though blessed now…I learned early on always walk into a room with your head held high and not insecure like you don’t belong.
Well said, and on point
Side note, some places will change cutlery after every course.
You should definately mention your experience to guest services. This helps with future training purposes!
I’ve eaten at several upscale restaurants, including a couple where I get to know the chef/owner. I did trust them to serve me without ordering and sometimes got surprises (like frogs legs). But I was never disappointed.
But I’m afraid I wouldn’t have made it past the opening encounter here. If a waiter has attitude because I tell him I don’t want alcohol, that’s where we part company. He doesn’t get any tip and the restaurant misses out on my business. I won’t pay to have someone look down their nose at me. There has to be someplace on a ship that size where you can get an impromptu dinner even if you are dressed up. And if they tried to make me pay for leaving the reservation, there would be he$$ to pay.
ME TOO have eaten all over the world and from NYC; boy, would they have been in trouble with me !!!
Agreed
Yeah I agree. That would have been my sign to walk out and go straight to guest services.
I agree he should have tried to make them feel more comfortable as they were not enjoying things but most Frenchpersons or Italians would be shocked to hear that someone doesn't drink wine - it's such a part of their dining culture.
If you eat at this place and don’t tip you should be thrown off the boat
You had me laughing my head off countless times! "Who knew pinky up people like to eat flower petals" 😂🤣
I’ve only been hearing negative reviews from the vloggers I watch that have gone to Enchante for both brunch and dinner. And one of the vloggers in particular does fine dining a lot and has eaten at Remy several times on the other cruise ships too. So I think your experience is very valid and similar to what other people have been experiencing too. It’s super disappointing. I hope Disney will course correct quickly! All of you being so honest is very helpful because I know someone at Disney is watching these review videos! Hopefully they figure it out!
Wish in general is the worst ship in the fleet and was known months ago and only enforced from reviews like this.
Someone called is the upcharge ship.
@@sethschroeder I think it’s definitely different from the other ships for sure and will take some time to get used to it. I’m hoping with some adjustments that we’ll all enjoy it as much as the others though. I’m not counting it out yet! Especially not before I experience it for myself too. I’ve got my fingers crossed for it!🤞🏼
Other than the horrible Enchante brunch DClub review I dont see that - reviews from people who ENJOY haute couture fine dining have been wonderful and going forward I expect more positive reviews will come out. Disney isn't going to change up what they've spent so much money to create and they want that Star!
@@misstdot4780 reduction in size of adult area, the removal of teens area with own pool area, removal of area for all guests on top deck only for concierge, inside stateroom layout of barely getting past couch, the subpar "attraction" that will have a long line, only 3/4 day sailings, and on and on.
If you don't think there has been negatives go and look. It's still DCL so people will have a good time but you are paying a premium because it's new not because it's the best ship.
@@sethschroeder I was specifically speaking about Enchante - I agree that the adults only area is ridiculously small and the hot tub in a idiotic place. I'm going for the Castaway Challenge cruise in Jan and have no choice as far as that - thats the ship its on now. They have run the numbers and Chapek wants Concierge guests and large rich families who vacation big but not often to Disney/Cruise. It's his model and until he's gone we won't get anything better. He doesn't care about adult fans of average income who frequent Disney.
Wild to me that any server would be offended by someone choosing not to have wine. Hypothetically if y’all were on a sobriety Journey. That judgement could be really dangerous
But with a built in tip, they were taking money out of the waiter's pocket. Which is why built in tips are a horrid idea.
This a very true statement. There are also illnesses, conditions, and medications that can make it as dangerous as many food allergies. Also religious reasons. While those are all serious considerations, there is also nothing wrong with just not wanting to drink alcohol at whatever time for whatever reason.
Yup! There are many physical reasons to not drink, but also there are people who just don't enjoy drinking for no reason but they don't like it. I am 100% free and clear to drink, I just have no desire to. I get really hot (which I despise being hot. I could live in an igloo) and that makes me uncomfortable. At 24 years old I will order a virgin drink over an alcoholic one anyday - This kind of judgement is something I get a lot (Not usually from staff though) So you don't need to have a reason to not drink, just not wanting to is reason enough.
With that being said, the waiter was French and French people drink at like 6 months old (kidding) but I was in Paris when I was 9 or 10 and I was offered champagne at lunch in the Eiffle Tower. It's just their culture - however that doesn't warrant the waiter making someone feel uncomfortable for their choice to remain sober, that just may be where the confusion/rudeness comes from.
Other reasons people may not drink alcohol: trying to conceive, pregnant, nursing, or allergy.
@@TitoTimTravels I agree but at the same time the built in tip in the long run guarantees more money because most Americans suck at tipping.
I’d so want a pizza after that meal!! 😆
Thank you for your honest dining experience! You’ll laugh at that for years!
Honestly you made it sound like you went into this blind and was expecting something totally different, which is why you didn’t like it. Even tho you painted a bad picture it makes me really want to try this one day.
I'm not boasting to say I've eaten in a few fancy restaurants. But this menu is just so pretentious.
The best comment ever “I didn’t grow up eating foam”. Me either my friend me either! Lol
Not the $2.25 sprite!!! LOL 😂
Bruh I felt insulted with that charge!
This charge just seemed so silly! Could you just bring a refillable mug with a drink from deck 11? 😂
Thank you for taking one (500) for the team. Now we know better. I can’t imagine your heartache. Y’all are such a sweet couple. God bless.
The review we didn't know we needed. I have honestly never enjoyed a dining review so much. I feel for you. You tried something new and it was so pretentious, it ruined the experience.
I agree with you. I love his review of the dishes. I just am not sure I would have ever done it. Now I know I wouldn’t do it.
If you think Michelin Star level haute couture cuisine and dining is pretentious then of course you won't enjoy this experience - I wish he had done more research before judging this based on his own unfamiliarity of ingredients and portion size.
@@mexicanamerican21 LOL imagine thinking you’re a baller cruising on a Disney ship when actual ballers like myself cruise NCL’s The Haven on newer ships like the PR1MA 🤣
Real ballers have their own ships. I hope this was sarcasm and I just missed it.
I 100% appreciate your honest and real review, I think it’s very helpful for people to see what they are getting into before an experience like this.
We have dined at Remy twice. The first was just after getting married aboard the ship. I definitely allowed them to choose what food to bring. I also refused wine because it really makes it hard to taste the food in my opinion (not a popular one, I know). I stuck with water. If something came that my wife did not like, she would give it to me. But I am very sure that if I told them, "This is not to her liking" they would bring her something else.
Our second time eating a Remy, my wife and daughter left half way through the multiple dessert course to get to a show. The serving staff felt bad about it and ended up sending me off with several boxes of desserts for them to have post-show. I know why you feel awkward, and it was ok. They should have made you feel more comfortable.
As for Enchante.... it feels like a poor imitation of Remy from what I have seen. But I reserve judgement for now.
I’m sorry that you had a terrible experience at the restaurant However, I just want to shine some light into some of the critics that you brought up.
The concept of Omakase (chef surprise meal) is from Japan and has been very popular with a lot of fine dining restaurants as of late. The idea behind this is the chef will use his/her expert experience in deciding what dishes are the best for that day and serve that to you. You are paying the high price to get a taste of what suppose to be the best and freshest ingredients the restaurant get their hand on for that day
In regard to flowers and foam, alot of these fine dining restaurant serve meal that is suppose to challenge and enhance all of your senses and not only your taste buds. It is an experience as a whole rather than just a meal. It might not be for everyone but that is just the expected standard for this kind of restaurant
Lastly, in regard to the waiter just stand right behind you, he isn’t there to judge you but to simply doing his job. A lot of these fine dining expected their waiter to be in constants present to their guests and available immediately to serve or answer anything their guests may have. “Waiting” for your server to show up is consider a bad service for a lot of these guests at fine dining restaurants
That’s it! 🙏🏻 that’s the Michelin experience and not “Cabanas”
Thank you! Well said. I haven’t been on the Wish, but have dined at both Remy and Palo several times, and I absolutely loved Remy. I would enjoy this restaurant too.
Such a bummer! My girls and I watched this and literally said “it looks like dish soap bubbles” and laughed when you said the same thing. We look forward to your Palo review. We were on the 3 day with you and Koda but didn’t try any of the upcharge restaurants. I also knew what kind of microwaveable meat you were talking about under the salad. Only having half a lobster tail would make me sad too! My husband and I have eaten at nice restaurants and have never seen so many flowers in one meal. Thanks for the review!
I love your honest review and can only repeat what others have said. I'm not a fan of "fine dining" and don't drink wine or champagne either. But you know what? Good on you for expanding your world experiences and even stepping out of your comfort zone to give something new a try. I can't wait for more videos!!
The napkin/silverware changing... most high end restaurants will clear away everything from the table and bring you new napkins and silverware for dessert. You don't want to use the same place settings as dinner for dessert.
I think it was awesome that you wanted to try a new experience. I'm sorry it didn't work out the way you were expecting. Its a big risk ordering a meal not on the menu. Probably should have order the individual items from the menu. Soda is not included on the cruise. Of course they charged you!
@Its me Stacey soda is included on a Disney Cruise. I het Shirley Temples in the included dining rooms quite often and have never paid. There are actually 24 hour stations to get your soda coffee tea etc. for yourself.
@@iluvcruising Yes, I know. I have cruised Disney several times. I too get soda in the main dining room. But this wasn't one of the dining rooms. There is no beverage dispenser (soda machine) in Disneys upscale restaurant on the ship. Its the same when I go to Mastro's steakhouse or any fine dining. They do not have those machines and they serve you soda from a glass bottle. Again, I understand he was not used to fine dining but a little bit of research even just on Google goes a long way.
6:20 That appetizer that tasted like soap: if the "herbs" contained cilantro, it's possible you and koda have that gene that makes cilantro taste different than for other people. My sister and I have it.
Thank you - how does someone know what dishwater taste like? I've heard Cilantro tastes like soap to those people - sad if they know what that tastes like
It could have been lavender
@@misstdot4780 taste and smell are very closely related, so for me it's easy to tell cilantro tastes like soap
@@misstdot4780 there may be other explanations i'm not aware of 😅
@@misstdot4780 When I was little, if I said a cuss word, my parents would wash my mouth out with soap. It's not just a southern saying lmbo its real. I also have the gene that makes cilantro taste like soap, its horrid lol
I for the life of me cannot understand why anyone would waste money on that pretentious BS meal. You were robbed and should demand your money back.
Them charging you for that Sprite was insult to injury! That is also 100% on the server for it even being on the bill!
Disney’s signature dining has always been 100% a la carte pricing. Because they don’t offer drink packages like other ships you’re forced to pay even more for alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks.
I cruise NCL because of their Free at Sea deal which includes the premium drink package in the cruise fare. For an extra $200 I could upgrade that to premium plus and add unlimited top shelf liquor and Starbucks if I wanted.
Disney’s idea of all-inclusive is quite different from the industry standard.
It sounds like you just have no experience with this kind of dining and you are giving them a bad review for it. It’s a you problem not a them problem.
Agree
I grew up struggling too, but have had some wonderful opportunities to do fine dining as an adult. My French instructor brought us to a very expensive French restaurant so we could learn how to eat if we went to Paris (yes really). This is par for the course for French dining. Very different from the American version of fine dining. I've always felt super awkward at these types of restaurants. Monsieur Paul in Epcot is much the same, but they at least understand the audience a little more. Either way, it's nice you did it and now you can say you did, and you don't ever have to spend that kind of money to be uncomfortable again.
Thank you for such an HONEST review! I grew up in the same world as you, and as I have been saving and budgeting out my Wish trip next year I have tossed the idea of trying this restaurant back n forth. After this review, I will most definitely be spending my $500 on an enjoyable experience. My fiance and I would feel the same way sitting at the table, out of place and awkward as hell. As much as I thought I wanted to feel a part of the 1% for a night, I quickly realized after not only your review but others, this experience is absolutely not for me. Love the videos and the honesty! Keep up the great content!
Foam has been a trend in fine dining for a few years now. The idea is that you can add unique flavors to a dish without adding bulk or different textures. In my experience they are mostly good, but some people can't stand the texture.
Budgeting is not choosing the most expensive dining experience either, Just order what you like if you want to enjoy your food, and look into what you're ordering before you select it. I also loved the staff, Ryan was amazing along with the chef and their assistant/head servers.
You also are saying be honeycomb dish was a course which it WAS NOT. I did not get the 195 passion experience and recieved that dish. IT IS A PALLET CLEANSER. this is ridiculous watching this.
Pro tip from a non-drinker. If you are ever in that situation again? Tell them you are allergic to alcohol. On another channel (Disney Dining) one of the hosts has 36 years of sobriety and they served him a dessert with alcohol in it at that restaurant.
While I don’t consider myself wealthy, I do come from a more comfortable area of the Country. This restaurant is trying WAY to hard to be high end. Adrian, no matter the cost, you get to define your dinner! Send it back or ask more questions! NEVER pay for so called ‘high class’ if YOU don’t see it as elegant! You’re worth respect!
Amen 🙏
I have never laughed so hard at a review because I could so relate!! We were on your Alaska sailing then again on the same Wish sailing! Thoroughly enjoy your videos, and keep rocking those Shirley Temples!! 👍🏼
Thanks for the video! You made me feel so much better about our decision to cancel our Enchante reservations.
As someone who has been and even studied in France, this is how I was treated 1 out of 10 times by random people or when eating out :(
Your opinion about the food is valid, does not sounds like your type of thing.
But the soda complaint? If you go to mcdonalds and order 100 big macs and a sprite, do you get upset you're charged for the sprite because you just bought 100 big macs?
I have eaten at some very upscale restaurants as an adult but this is truly beyond pretentious. Thank you for reviewing so I won’t have an FOMO for not having a reservation.
The foam is suppose to add some flavor to the dish without the heaviness of added sauces. It’s used a lot in multi-course tastings so that you don’t get full from sauce-ladened dishes. Plus it’s different and looks interesting. Same for the flowers… they’re a garish to make the dish look pretty, but you can eat them and they are milder in flavor than a sprig of parsley that most people never eat.
I would of done the same thing as you, I would of wanted to try it just to experience it. However, based on the menu, I would hardly know what to order. I would of also felt extremely awkward. I’d rather spend my $ on something else. Thank you for this video and your honesty.
Would have
Same! I felt out of place just watching this 😬
What do you expect? 99% of the people that eat there are fine wine drinkers.
Also not saying all that looked great or anything just a tip tho, if you’re not a foodie don’t go to an expensive restaurant.
The fact they finish so many of the dishes at the table would be so awkward for me. And I would be so upset if I spent 500 on a meal that I didn't like half the dishes
This is typical for upscale restaurants.
@@_moving_mountains doesn't make it any less awkward for me. I'm introverted and don't even like people checking on me during my meals
Loved this review! Your facial expressions when you're trying to describe what the food was 🤣
Usually when you have chefs tasting courses they are accompanied by alcoholic beverages. You should have inquired about that before going their.
Love love love this review
Thanks for saving my money! Can’t wait to see how Palo goes. Thanks for the great content x
Your review was so real man, I loved watching it. I’m subscribing
Very entertaining and fun to watch. Thanks for posting this.
A dinner like this, should be fun and enjoyable and never rushed. That said, I can't believe they made you feel uncomfortable, that is unacceptable. Any Bartender (especially in a restaurant like this should know how to make every drink even a Shirley Temple or Roy Roger). As for them charging you for the drinks, sadly drinks are never included, but I agree for the price it should have been. With this type of dinner a lot of it has to do with the 'show' so them changing out the utensils and napkins is pretty normal (even for desert with the type of utensils, it can also do with what they are serving, some metals will affect the taste of food, or so I've been told). What they will also do is give you a napkin that goes with what you are wearing, (ex. if you are wearing a dark color they will give you a black napkin. If you are wearing a light color they will give you a white napkin). I'm not a fan of chef tasting menu/meal because you end up with stuff that you may not like, and I'm picky. One thing I will share as in my mind the experience should be similar (especially for Disney). Is my husband and I have eaten at Club 33 several times and we are always made to feel welcome even though we are not 'fancy'. They will explain the menu and if there is every anything that we don't like or can't eat they will ask and we will tell them which makes the experience all the better). I'm surprised they didn't do that with you. I'm glad some of the dinner was enjoyable for you both. I know you said you wouldn't do it again and I get it, however maybe try it again in the future. I bet the experience will be different and you may enjoy it. As for the flower petals and the foam that is the chef showing off (all about the presentation) remember we eat with our sight and our smell so some of these extra touches are all about the other senses. Which I can take or leave. I wish this was a better experience for the both of you. We thought you both looked so cute all dressed up and seeing how excited you were to go there and treat yourselves was wonderful to see, I only wish you had a better time. Can't wait to see your Palo Brunch we love Palo so hopefully that made up for it.
We enjoyed feeling fancy for a change but we will for sure think about doing it again further down the line!
I completly agree with your comment, its unaccaptable to make people feel unconfortable when they spend so much money to enjoy a spécial diner. And they should have ask for their taste/allergy etc...even for a suprise diner (im french so i hope my english is good enough but anyway i agree with you 100%) :)
@@ophelielilie2139your English is perfect 👍
I agree completely, true "French service" is about the *customer's comfort*
Way to fancy for us!
Thanks for your review!!
I laughed my butt off when you said "pinky-up people!" I can so relate to your experience here. I would not have even known HOW to eat the food when it arrived! I would have been the girl eating the decorative garnish.....
Totally appreciate your honest review and so sorry for your experience. We totally understand feeling awkward in some places and feeling judged for not wanting wine or champagne. We sometimes get that because we don’t really drink. Look forward to the next video with your better experience.
I’m not into fine dining either. My partner and I went for the first time in a year after having a baby, to an upscale restaurant (we were given a gift voucher, not our choice) and the second we walked in I felt so out of place and uncomfortable. They scoffed when I turned down wine and asked for lemonade and the server nearly fell over when I asked for my steak medium-well. Was the worst experience ever and we just wanted to eat and get the hell out of the place. I’m sorry you paid so much for an awful experience
Hey Adrian, I LOVE watching the video’s!! I originally only watched the Disney Cruise videos because I love Disney cruises. But one day I decided to give Theme park videos a try and now I can’t stop watching them!! You’ve gotten me more into Theme park!! Thank you for all you do and keep up the good work!!!!
Thank you for the honest review! I’ve heard the same things from other vloggers. I’m not sure why you were surprise they charge from your drink. As for clearing all the silverware and setting new set before dessert is common in “fine” dinning. If the servers is from France I’m sure he couldn’t comprehend why you wouldn’t have wine with your meal. As they have a glass (or bottle) of wine on lunch break.
I can’t wait to for your next video! And I really enjoyed this format :))
I don't drink either and I'd have been super annoyed with that server, people don't drink for a variety of reasons and it's not on the wait staff to judge the guest. Mocktails have also become pretty popular over the last few years for this reason (if you're ever in Maine, swing by Vena's Fizz House!)
This is also why I'd prefer to go to a nice Japanese restaurant over a French restaurant. The food is just as delicious with lovely presentation, but without the stressful atmosphere. I can't relax in fine French or Italian restaurants the way I can in my favorite nice sushi place.
Kudos for you for trying it out! Such a sweet idea for Koda. Pity you didn't enjoy it. I however enjoyed watching the video. Putting down huge amounts of hard earned cash for a tasting menu can be incredibly daunting. I've experienced some amazing fancy tasting menus and also some incredibly disappointing ones too. Also with that hefty price tag you expect the setting and service to be top notch too. Unfortunately it seems you got a snobby judging waiter which is a shame. I really dislike those kinds of places. You can be fancy fine dining and still make your customers feel welcome and at ease (in fact that should be the main goal). But yes, don't be discouraged by this experience! There are good fine dining restaurants out there :) And thank you for inadvertently making the funniest Enchanté review I've seen so far. Also foam is nasty and I'm so over it!!
I really enjoyed your honest review. Subscribed!
We are going on our first Disney cruise on the Wish in a week. I had managed to get a reservation for Enchante. Thank you for saving us. We are not "pinky up" people. We know how to behave in polite society, but that to spend that kind of money and not enjoy the meal. Yup...we are sticking to Palo.
Hi, my fiancé and I were actually dining at Enchanté in the booth behind your table on 7/25, it was our engagement dinner. While we thoroughly enjoyed our dining experience, I am sorry that it was not the same for you. 😕
Hello! We enjoyed having you guys behind us! You both sounded like I were having the best time! Btw when I said we could hear people chewing it wasn’t directed at you it was the people who were behind my gf at the table next to us in the window lol. But we’re so happy you enjoyed your experience and congratulations!
@@ThemeParkExpress Thank you very much! We wanted to say hi but did not want to interrupt your dinner 😄
Thank you for your honesty. I love your videos because you stay authentic to yourself. Keep doing that!
I really appreciate your honest review. I get the impression that DCL wants to compete with other luxury liners by including high end French restaurants with Michelin level chefs but It’s not for everyone. I can’t drink alcohol either so thanks for being so brave and giving us your review!
Thank you, thank you, thank you for your honest review. My wife and I had high hopes for Enchanté but after seeing this, we quickly agreed to cancel our reservation in October. For that amount of money, we could spend it on so many more enjoyable experiences. Thank you again, $500 worth ❤️
You also based your decision on 1 person’s review.
I'm not sure if anyone else has pointed it out, but that Wagyu beef that you had was most likely American Wagyu, and not Japanese Wagyu, which is the highest quality that most people hear about. I know this because looking at the menu, they were selling that particular dish for about $45. There is no place where you can get Japanese Wagyu for that cheap, unfortunately. It's a very expensive cut of beef. Many restaurants actually lie about having Wagyu, just so they can charge you more, and most people wouldn't exactly notice. I haven't really tried Japanese Wagyu myself, but they definitely weren't serving you that. I don't blame you for being disapppointed in that.
From what I've seen, it looks like it's from Australia, which is probably even worse since it has to travel farther and not as fresh. Probably would have been better to go American or a more common type of cut found in France.
Thanks for your honest opinion you did good on this !
Love your channel, and your honest reviews. I’ve never experienced fine dining, as I can’t afford it. However, about once a month, I prepare a similar experience for my family, in our home, but with dishes we all love. Btw, I get why they changed out the silverware, and napkins. It’s meant to be an experience, so that part I can definitely understand! My family calls me “extra” when I change their forks. LOL!
This review is all wrong. My mom and I Just got off the Wish and it was amazing. WE LOVED enchante brunch and dinner and are 1000% booking them on our future cruises.
It is obvious you don't do fine dining, and do not know how to appreciate it.
It's an embarrassing review. The dude was literally afraid of eating plants
I truly appreciate your honest review :)
This review is hilarious, dish soap foam. Thanks for the laugh. 🤣
We love Remy. We love the surprises and the wine pairings and the champagne pairings. Watching this, The restaurant seems very cold. No tablecloths, which makes sound echo more. I love the dark woods, the tablecloths, the elegance of Remy. This restaurant doesn't have the same feel.
Some of the dishes in your review we have had at Remy before. You have to just open your mind and enjoy what they have presented in front of you, because it's something you would never ever be able to get at home. We like that. I realize it's not for everyone.
But very great that you were willing to try!
Just FYI, if you do the wine or champagne pairing at that type of restaurant aboard one of the Disney cruise ships they bring out a different one, wine or champagne, with each course. They tell you and show you what it is and then explain why it’s being paired with that particular course. Some of the wines and champagnes can be very expensive per bottle. Just a glass, which is a lot less amount than some think, can be shockingly expensive. If you like wine or champagne, I personally think it’s worth it but others think it’s not. They feel just getting a bottle of your favorite one is the way to go. Also, if you get a mocktail or some other types of non-alcoholic beverages you are probably going to be charged for them. In restaurants such as those nothing is ever for free.
just so you know, the crispy first course isn't crispy bees wax, that's inside the the bowl, the crumbly thing is just a tuile made from apparently rice flour and is just meant to add another texture your dish.
It’s clear you are an authentic person and I’m sorry you had a horrible experience. Know that as your channel grows, the $500 will be a pittance of a memory; however, the value of this review is priceless and eternal. Thank you for taking the courageous risk with your palette and pocketbook! Any and EVERY experience is YOURS to have and hold, call it as you perceived it! Gratitude for putting yourself out there. You got this!!!!
Many congratulations on a super honest review! Pleased to know that you have the true courage to stand up for your rights to both a decent meal and actual value for your hard earned CZcamsr money. Whereas it would seem that you got caught up in the classic story and similarity of The Emperor Who Had No Clothes and whereupon the restaurant attempted to convince you were eating actual food. NOT!!! Time to contact your Credit Card Company.
Did he not eat the food? Why would you recommend disputing the charge? Yikes…yikes😮
If there’s a problem one must let them know during service not months later and then suggestions to dispute a charge are wild to me
Thank you for the honest review! I loved a couple of the comments "pinky people eat flowers" stands out especially. I am sorry both of you were so disappointed and the waiter standing behind you was creepy. As for not drinking wine--did the waiter ask you if you'd like to try a wine and then ask for your particular tastes to maybe suggest a tasting (you know introduce what they may have to offer for the idea of a new experience)? You were looking for a new experience and it's sad that both of you didn't get that and instead got judgement instead of an introduction. As for the water onboard, it's reverse osmosis done in a water maker--supposedly the cleanest water you can get. You have no idea what is in a bottle. :)
Thank you for your honest opinion. Planning my first (make-up) cruise (Had one booked and fully paid for May 2020. Fingers crossed for 2023). Not all experiences are magical, and before investing in those memories its nice to see a look before you leap review.
Don't feel bad about the French attitude. Often, French professionals in the restaurant business play up to the expected, arrogant stereotype. People who are snobs about fine dining feel reassured by this, so it's part of the experience. Keep in mind this dude is on a Disney cruise; I think he's overcompensating.
Chef's menus are an expression of the chef's ego. Usually gross. There is a quickly aging trend to "deconstruct" food, often by freezing and making foam expressions of foods. It's trendy.
An "amuse bouche" literally means mouth teaser. Not an official course. Just FYI
That was not Wagyu beef. Wagyu beef has visible dots of fat. 😒 There are less than 5 places in the US where actual Wagyu beef is served.
Changing the color of napkin was theatre to make you feel better about what you paid. It's normal to clear and replace flatware before dessert, but the napkin flourish was ridiculous.
Were the foreign waters an extra charge?
We didn’t ask but we believe so based off the table next to us drinking some water out of a very fancy looking bottle
I too would've felt outta place at Enchante, not because of them insisting we should order wine which I don't mind, but because I'm a Vegan that also grew up struggling financially and their menu doesn't look Vegan friendly at all.
Hi. I just started watching your videos. I am enjoying them a lot. Thank you.
Just have to comment because I cracked up when you said "they plopped a little thing of suds there on the plate" !! I have watched a few of your videos now and just subscribed. Thanks for keeping it real-love your personality 🙂
Thank you for sharing as always. My understanding is restaurants aren’t supposed to put anything on your plate that you can’t eat. But at least if they put it there it should taste like something 🤦🏽♀️.
As someone who doesn't drink I can totally understand how you both felt out of place. As always I appreciate your honesty. My heart broke hearing your disappointment in some of these dishes especially the wagyu dish. If you do try Remy sometime I hope it's a better experience.
Pete from the DIS had a similar experience but during brunch he doesn't drink because he is a alcoholic seemed the waiter had same issue and took 45minutes to get him a coke, I'm just going to say it I think this restaurant is out of place it's a Disney cruise ship not Paris and the French are not great at giving Disney level customer service I should know I've been Disneyland Paris a lot 🤣
That was ridiculous for all of that money ! Love you videos and as always thanks for sharing
OMG Your Experience was MY experience - we need to chat and laugh - Palo is the way to go!
I’d be delighted to chat about it sometime!
It was nice to hear your review. That sounds very similar to Victoria & Alberts at the GF. I have been hearing mixed reviews on this though and it did seem like the awkwardness would be hard to get past, especially with them seeming to judge you for not wanting the wine.
Thank you for being honest with your thoughts as an average person going to this restaurant. I do feel bad that you had such a disappointing experience though. :(
I enjoyed your review! You are completely honest and that what I would want to hear. I would have probably not enjoyed it myself honestly. You had me laughing with the foam and when I saw the foam on the desert dish I said oh no not that foam 😂
Thank you for your honesty and you don't deserve any hate for being honest about how you felt uncomfortable awkward and charged for a drink that truly should have been included with the meal. I'm so sorry you had to go through all this but at least we now know better and hopefully disney either shapes up or loses money on this place because that kind of experience from this company is just sad
Very helpful video. Going in November…we will definitely pass on this! Thank you for this video!
I’m new to your channel!! I loved this 😍🥹
OMG I laughed at this whole video. I feel ya about the meal. Many people have complained about their experience at this restaurant. You are not alone.
Solid review, I’ve always questioned the charge for soda in the up-charged dinning options. Looks I’ll stick with palo over this or remy.
Thank you for the honest review. I would never pay that much for a meal, even if it includes flower petals and foam.
#1 thoroughly enjoyed the video/review
#2 Disney owes y'all about $ 362.86 back...lol
For the amount of food or lack there of with those tiny portions it definitely is not worth the price. And the way they made you feel it definitely wasn't worth the experience
This is awesome review! Thank you! We have reservations booked for this place in Oct 🙄 I think I might switch to Palo instead.
As soon as you said you needed time to process, I was terrified. This restaurant is wild
Thanks for the heads up 👍
Thanks for the honest review. Wish you would have filmed your expression when each dish came out! Sorta like Shakira, your face don't lie 😄😄😄
Grogu wearing Loki horns is my favorite image today. Thank you for the review!
Thank you Adrian. We needed to hear your review. We had a similar experience on the Magic at Palo brunch in April. None of us drink. And we are not picky eaters. I would eat flowers if they tasted good. The food at Palo brunch was supposed to be a good substitute for no longer having the brunch buffet. But the lasagna tasted like Chef Boyardee ravioli. And the steaks looked terrible. Dessert was nothing special. We had a terrible waiter. The only thing on our table in the first hour was water. The restaurant was freezing. I had to go get a jacket but missed nothing as we had nothing but water on the table. We were there for 3 hours for a meal that should have taken 90 minutes. What a waste of time and money. We had unbelievable meals in the main dining areas. I will not venture out to pay more and get less again.
I totally understand your frustration but this is what that level of dining experiences are. I think if you got to go through a “fine dining” experience/behind the scenes then your questions or confusion would be cleared up. All the things you discussed have specific purpose and reasoning.
