Chicken Now Premium Outlets I Drive

Lunch today was grabbed at Chicken Now. We both got a small box each - 3 pieces of chicken, chips and Texas toast. Asking Colin for his description of Texas toast he just said it's fried bread although tastes good. 2 Small boxes and 2 regular drinks $18.70 To be honest it was grand and filled a hole while shopping.

Olive Garden I Drive

Tonight's dinner was Olive Garden on I Drive. This is about a 5 mintue walk from our hotel. When we went in there seemed to be a fair amount of families waiting (it was after 8 when we arrived). As we were a party of two we got seated straight away. We ended up sitting in the booth next to the one we sat at 2 years ago.
Server arrived and we decided to order some cocktails. Roscato Berry Cocktail for myself and Strawberry Lemon Martini for Colin. Theses were nice but not that strong.





For those who haven't eaten in Olive Garden, you get the option of endless salad or soup as a starter. The salad portion is massive. Colin had this for starter. It was really fresh and had a perfect amount of dressing on it. I had the minestrone soup. Again it was really good. There was a perfect amount of vegetable and pasta in it. We also got a portion of the garlic breadsticks too. These remind me of the breadsticks you used to get years ago in Ponderosa.








For main course Colin had Chicken Scampi. Chicken, peppers and onions in a garlic cream sauce. Colin really enjoyed this meal. He thought though it was a bit creamy towards the end.



Tonight I went for Chicken Alfredo. Chicken in an alfredo sauce with fresh pasta. By the end of this dish I though it was a bit creamy too. One thing I don't like about the chicken in Olive Garden is that it has a bit of a strange texture.



Olive Garden is one place we try to visit on each trip. The food is fresh and the pasta is always lovely. We noticed as well that large parties other servers came out to carry all the food so it meant there was no waiting on dishes. The night we visited it was busy but the servers were great and were on top of things.
Total cost for the meal was $46.28

Good butter Really enjoying your report. I know you used the lounge as gold circle member, but if you had to pay to use it would it be worth it?

See more...

The hotel was grand for us. We've been staying there for the passed 5-6years. Its a basic hotel and a perfect location (I ride stop 20 and right beside the visitors centre) A shuttle is provided to Disney although comig home in the evening time it can take 30-45 mins. We were told as well on check out theres going to be massive renovations in the hotel starting next week. Hotel will be called Extended stay America from then

Thanks all for the replies will try and update tonight.
