\"Breakfast<\/p>\n

Breakfast…it really is the most important meal of the day. This is especially true when visiting Walt Disney World. It’s always a great idea to fill up on a hearty meal before heading off to a long day in the parks. And boy do I have a great suggestion for you for your next breakfast option! You need to head to the Captain’s Grille at Disney’s Yacht Club Resort!<\/p>\n

Wait…the Captain’s Grille<\/a>…I’ve never heard of it! Well, trust me…this is your wake up call!<\/p>\n

It has sort of a non-nondescript entrance, and is actually a place where I think you could easily walk by without giving it a second look, but that would be wrong! Wrong, I tell you!<\/p>\n

\"Captain's<\/p>\n

This restaurant features a heavy nautical theme, which makes sense, given its location. It is very reminiscent of a New England Yachting Club, but it’s not stuffy enough that you feel you need to wear your ascot or best pearls. It’s actually a very warm and inviting feeling, albeit, it does feel a bit like a typical resort hotel restaurant.<\/p>\n

The best thing about dining here for breakfast is that you have two fantastic options to choose from!<\/p>\n

First there is a great buffet where you can pick and choose what you want. Here Guests will find pastries, fruit, yogurt, scrambled eggs, hashbrowns, bacon, sausage, bread pudding, oatmeal, cereal, and a frittata. My husband had the buffet and he found it to be very much to his liking.<\/p>\n

However, for me, I instead enjoyed the a la carte offerings. I think that they have a vast selection of choices including Lobster Omelet, Eggs Benedict, Buttermilk Pancakes, Petite Strip Loin and Eggs, and Lemon-Ricotta Hotcakes, to name a few.<\/p>\n

On my visit though, I decided to go with the Dark Chocolate Waffles, which are served with Dried Cherry Compote, Espresso-Mascarpone Cream, Chocolate Shavings, and a choice of Bacon or Sausage. Now, I don’t like cherries, but saw that on the menu they offered a strawberry compote on another dish, so I was able to substitute my dish with that option.<\/p>\n

Let me tell you…this was one of the best breakfasts! I thought these waffles were fantastic! First of all, let me start out by saying that there are THREE of them! I found them to be about the sizing that you would see at the Epcot Food and Wine Festival, so they are good sized. The chocolate flavoring was not over-powering, but the mascarpone was fantastic! It too didn’t have an overpowering flavor of espresso, but you could taste it. The strawberries added a nice touch to the dish, as did the chocolate shavings.<\/p>\n

I had them cook the bacon for me crispy, which is how I like it and it came out cooked to perfection. The bacon had the exact right amount of crunch.<\/p>\n

The biggest thing I find to be great about this restaurant, despite the fact that the food is outstanding, is that the pricing isn’t terrible. Meals are under $20, with most under $15! (Which for a table service meal, is not bad, given that some counter service meals ask just a little less and you don’t get nearly as much, in my opinion.)<\/p>\n

Honestly, I had not thought about Captain’s Grille before this trip, but I can certainly tell you, it is on my radar and with so many great and unique options, I certainly think this is a can’t miss. The only hard part for me will be deviating\u00a0 away from those waffles. Even though everything else looks great, those waffles will be difficult to pass up! Decisions, decisions!<\/p>\n
