Under the Sea at Ariels Grotto

When it comes to Disneyland, not only do I have in mind what rides I will be getting on, but what delicious places we will be eating at as well. All restaurants of course have a different price range and for 40 dollars a person you get a full-service 3 prix fixe dinner and you get your moneys worth.  Not to mention you receive reserved viewing tickets for World of Color.

First off is the appetizer, we began our dinner with a shrimp and lobster salad. I have to admit, it tasted delicious for a girl who doesn't eat seafood. This salad was paired with a few slices of butter as well as... some green pesto sauce, I believe. Either way, it was good!

One of the things that were included in our meal was this yummy sourdough bread in the shape of a flower. Isn't it pretty? It was very warm and toasty and it tasted delicious with butter.

Now, let me introduce you to the Antipasti Tower. This tower of food was made up of three different plates. The first was prosciutto with dried fruit pieces, manchego cheese and a blend of marinated olives. To be honest, I personally don't like olives or prosciutto, so this wasn't my favorite plate. However, my boyfriend loved it, and so he ate it all. :)

Next is my favorite plate, which happens to be the most colorful. Here, we had fruit, baby carrots, celery sticks, string chest and fruit gelatin WHICH WAS TO DIE FOR. The fruit was very sweet and fresh, I wanted more.

And the final plate was a mixed green salad served with a special vinaigrette. 

As for the entrees, my boyfriend and I ordered the same plate. We had an herb crusted chicken breast, served with steamed veggies and cheddar mashed potatoes. I was one happy camper with this dish, haha. 

Finally, we ate the dessert plate. The picture tells all. Cupcakes, berries, cookies, and lava cake? Oh my!

This was our amazing view from our table. We sat outside with the view of paradise pier. It was great hearing the distant screams of riders in California Screamin roller coaster.

As for the inside of Ariels Grotto, it was beautifully decorated. The ceiling was decorated with pearls, colorful lights, and seaweed. For a moment I felt like I was "Under The Sea". 

Eating at Ariels Grotto was fun and I'm glad I had this experience with my boyfriend. Although it was pricey, I liked the three course dinner that was served to us. it was fun seeing all the different plates being brought over to us. The food was delicious and the bonus tickets to the World of Color water show were really useful. So keep in mind that if you have money to spend on a tasty dinner, try Ariels Grotto in California Adventure's Park at the Disneyland Resort.
