NBA Citywalk

[Sue]

The plan was to eat at either Hard Rock or NBA City - not minding which, when we got there and saw the queue at Hard Rock, we went to NBA and were seated immediately! Neither of us are interested in basketball, so that passed us by lol. It is really more like a café than a restaurant; the service was not the best we had (bit slow, ignored when trying to get another drink), but the food was very, very good.

Tin had the Ribs and Fries, he later decided that these were almost the best ribs he's had in Orlando, second only to Tony Roma's:

I had the Chicken Penne Pasta with garlic cheese bread:

This was absolutely delicious, my only complaint was that there was way too much, I think there was a whole chicken in it!

Suitably stuffed, we headed back to Jake's Bar for our nightcaps, two glasses of Zinfandel for me (the second taken back to the room, no problems with that) and Tin had three Buds. We had a nice chat with Anna, who is an Engligh woman currently working as a manager at the RPR, this is her second job there, she had come back to the UK to find work but none of the snobby London hotels would employ her, saying that her American experience does not count - she is absolutely brilliant (sorted out our poor meal on our first night there) and in my experience, American hotels can teach anyone about good customer service!! Our loss I would say - look her up in Jake's if you are ever at RPR, lovely lady.
Bed for 10pm

We ate at NBA in 2005 too and loved the food, no problems with the service either. Sue I had the same meal as you, chicken penne pasta with garlic bread and you are right it was huge but I managed it! Iain had chicken, which I think had cheese & bacon on with fries.

We will eat here again this year hopefully, lots of places to eat at though! Can't wait to try Tony Romas for ribs.
