    Appreciate that you did a voiceover. It was a better way to not only explain everything, but also be respectful to the others in the dining room that spent $$$.

    The atmosphere looks bare. There are no pictures on the walls. No flowers. It looks like convention dining.

      Agreed. The restaurant interior has no particular design and looks muted and soulless. At the very least, add some artwork and plants to bring it to life.

    Kristen, we are so glad you, Nate, and Maria did a review of this restaurant. For a long time, we thought we would save up and go but we haven't been able to afford to travel since 2020. It sounds like Victorian & Albert's gives you heavy hors d'oeuvres for your $500 and that's just not a good value to us.

    I was really worried for you when you got to the cheese course. The faces you made were so authenic and funny ! I felt badly for you, but had to giggle. It was super cute. I also loved the pan out to your friends and the bearded one leaning back, like "phew" and the cheese head, wide awake and chomping away. What a great group of friends you've got there. Thank you for doing this. I probably had more fun than I could have had actually going there. Loved it. Another great job.

    If you want a meal that blows you away with EVERY dish, I'd suggest a smaller local restaurant with a tasting menu. Not trying to be snobby, I love Disney and would absolutely LOVE a chance to try Victoria and Albert's, but sometimes smaller independent places, even ones without Michelin stars, can get more unique and experimental (which leads to that surprise factor like with the dessert you really loved) .

    I am older, and I would rather have non alcohol beverages any day. Way better for you and the liquor doesnt drowned out the fruit and other flavors. The only exception might be a chocotini, but the alcohol sinks to the bottom, so I just give that part to my hubby, lol. He isnt a big fan of it, chocolate and alcohol. But they are good, til it gets to the bottom. Wow, whatta treat this was ! I am impressed. Glad you all had such a nice time ! Good to see young people doing this. Looks like you've got some really good friends. Very nice video and great information.

    Thank you for your honesty, I really appreciated it!! Personally, I think this place is for people who have more money to spend than brains. Not that it is not a good experience, but it's just too much, especially for people who are not wealthy (most of us!!) ...and I am a person who loves Walt Disney World. But that place is just too much. The fact that you all were still hungry after spending 6 hours there and spending all that money speaks volumes!!

    I watched Nate's video before yours, so I had some idea what to expect. But your narration was excellent. It's interesting what goes into a dining experience that makes it worth the money. I wouldn't want to spend 6 hours doing that. I guess that place is so highly rated because each dish is unique and presented in a unique way.
    It would be interesting to go to other 5 star restaurants and compare them. Or perhaps you could read up on what goes into a restaurant getting such high accolades.
    As for the uni, I think that's one of the worst things to eat. 😊. I'm glad you enjoyed it.
    BTW, goat cheeses have a distinct taste. I happen to really like it. Any product with goat milk has that taste.

    Traveled over to you from Nate’s vlog. I adore Nate & his content. His coverage of this meal was excellent, in true Nate style. I came to get your perspective & comments on the experience. I enjoyed that you used voice-over & that I could see your face as you tasted the strange entrees. I gained more information from you than Nate.
    Would I do this? Never.
    First , I’m cheap: too rich for my blood. Next, I’m pescatarian: too many animal by-products (lamb, beef, bone marrow) Finally, I’m not an adventurous eater. I have food allergies to some of the items. It would be horrendous to throw up outside the restaurant because of one of their unusual ingredients that my stomach rejects.
    I’m appreciative for the individual opinions. You both provided me with valuable & honest information. I’m off to find Maria’s vlog now. 👍🏼 It will be the Trifecta of the reviews.

    Excellent review. Do the waiters wait on more than one table or are your waiters exclusive?
