The Monte Cristo Sandwich has disappeared from the menu at Woody’s Lunch Box. It was being offered as a lunch and dinner entrée, served with raspberry jam and a choice of side. That option is no longer listed on the menu board at Woody’s Lunch Box or on the mobile app.

Lighthouse Sandwich Returns To Columbia Harbour House At Magic Kingdom

The Lighthouse Sandwich has returned to Columbia Harbour House at Magic Kingdom. The very popular vegetarian option disappeared from the menu nearly a year ago. Made with hummus and tomato broccoli slaw, the Lighthouse Sandwich is served on toasted multigrain bread and comes paired with great house made potato chips.

Columbia Harbour House also offers favorites such as the Lobster Roll, (chilled lobster with a touch of mayo on a New England style bun) and the Chicken Harbour Salad (chicken served on top of mixed greens, diced tomato, bacon, egg, melons, onions and cucumbers drizzled with Zinfandel vinaigrette dressing).

Sunday Supper at Enzo’s Hideaway Review

Sunday Supper at Enzo's Hideaway Review.

Sunday Supper at Enzo’s Hideaway is one of the newest meal offerings in Disney Springs.  We were recently invited to enjoy Sunday Supper at this venue.

Here is a photo tour review of our experience.

Tucked away from the main hustle and bustle of The Landings, Enzo’s Hideaway offers a more intimate setting for enjoying a meal with family and friends.  The graffiti walls are part of the ambiance so be sure to check them out when you visit.

Sunday Supper

Sunday Supper at Enzo’s is a BYOB affair; which means bring your own wine.  Enzo’s Hideaway does not charge an un-corking fee; making this a great option to enjoy your favorite wine with a fabulous meal.

Sunday Supper at Enzo's Hideaway Review

We began our evening with some gorgeous cocktails.  The White Sangria had a fresh, crisp flavor.  We also enjoyed The Peacekeeper.  Monkey Shoulder Scotch gives this libation its primary bite.  We also loved the beautiful presentation of these beverages

Sunday Supper at Enzo's Hideaway Review

Next, we received Bread with Olive Oil for dipping.  The outer crust of the bread was crispy while the center of the bread was very soft and fresh tasting.

After the Bread course, our Starters arrived.  They consisted of an Antipasto Board and Misticanza Salad.  Our favorite choices were the Parmigiano-Reggiano, the Prosciutto di Parma and the Pickled Vegetables.

Next up, the Main Course had a beautiful presentation of Meats, Pasta and Roasted Free Range Chicken with fingerling potatoes and seasonal vegetables.  Our favorite meat was the Spicy Sausage.  The Pasta was cooked perfectly al dente and we loved the roasted vegetables and fingerling potatoes.  Salmon was offered separately.  A member of our party had a fish allergy. We greatly appreciated the care the Team took to ensure that the rest of the food did not come into contact with the Salmon.

To conclude our meal, we were presented with Dessert Samplings. The Strawberry Sorbet was our personal favorite with it’s light and fresh taste.  We also added a Cappuccino to close out the evening.

Sunday Supper

Melissa was very knowledgeable about the food and beverages.  Her suggestions were helpful and she took extra care with the fact that we had a fish allergy at our table.  Thank you for a fabulous evening due to your excellent care and attention Melissa!

 

Sunday Supper

Sunday Supper at Enzo’s Hideaway is a dining adventure served family-style.  For us, this experience brought back childhood memories of Sunday Suppers with Family, where we all gathered around the table for great food and bonding time.  Cost for adults is $45 and Children 9 and under are $19.  Take a break from today’s fast-paced lifestyle and enjoy some quality family time at Enzo’s Hideaway.  Sunday Supper is calling!
