Dining Set : In the Condo and in the House

Look at our dining table while we live in our condo. I think the eat-in space are the same in sq ft with what we have right now. Small space. This dining set was bought in Rooms-To-Go 4 years ago and we love it. For a family of two, this is alright. The only setback is when we have friends who come over then, I have to add another table so all of us can dine together.

This is our eat in area  right now. The space is small too. We want to move to a bigger house and have a bigger dinning area. That will be awesome don't you think? The space on the right is our back porch.

Anyway, I have to go and blog later. Another client will look at the house at 1:30 PM. I have to clean the house again. Bye for now.

Olive Garden at Colonial Drive

Do you like Italian food? I love to dine in the Italian Restaurant. The pasta is so good. Okay regarding the photo below, I meant to say Colonial Drive not S Semoran Blvd, my bad. When my husband and I heads home from Orlando, we decided to have dinner at Olive Garden in :

11882 E Colonial Drive
Orlando, FL 32826
(407) 381-8084

It was our first in this location. The server was very courteous and knows the menu very well. I ordered a limonata, a Chicken and Gnocchi soup, and Braised Beef and Tortelloni. I was already halfway with my soup when I called the server regarding my limonata.

She apologized for the delay, she forgot. Anyway, I had a great meal and I enjoyed the tender sliced short ribs and portobello mushrooms in my plate. The asiago-filled tortelloni in a basil-marsala sauce tastes good and I was full quick that I need to take out half of my Braised Beef and Tortelloni.

The server is pleasant and nice, from time to time she checked on us. Our dining experience is good and whether I will visit this location again? Absolutely!

Great Food and Wonderful Music

Food and music, I love them both. Fridays and weekends, hubby and I love to have dinner in a restaurant along Cocoa and Cape Canaveral area. Great tasting food, amazing music and friendly guests surely turns a restaurant into a perfect place to unwind.
food-and-music
Last weekend, hubby and I dine in a restaurant with so many tourists. They were dancing barefoot on the sand and it was a nice evening. There were lighted torch, the band played music all night long and their soloist has good quality of voice. I noticed that the soloist uses the microphone that is similar to the best shure 58 at guitar center. Why I know? He lets the guests to participate in singing so; he hopped from table to table. The man next to us was given the mic and he sang one sentence of the song. It was an interesting night and we had a great evening.

The Freestyle Dining At Norwegian Sky Cruise Line

Last October, we took a 4 day-cruise to Bahamas thru Norwegian Cruise Line. We had fun times on board and inland when we explore the Freeport as well as Nassau. Norwegian Sky takes pride in offering their guest the Freestyle Cruising where the freedom on what to do and on what to see will depend on the choices of the guests. I enjoyed the Freestyle Dining the most because I can eat where and when I want.For breakfast, we love to dine in early in the Garden Cafe' and Great Outdoor which is a buffet style dining. Most of the servers are Asian and majority is Filipino. If you like a fine dining, you can go to the Crossings and the Palace Main Dining Room. You don't need to give your servers any tip because all guests are required to pay it per day. Hubby and I still give tips to the servers especially when they did a good job.  They don't require formal attire in the fine dining areas but, when we have dinners, most of us wore formal dresses. During breakfast and lunch, we wore casuals. Both Crossings and Palace Main Dining Rooms have cozy and elegant ambiance especially when dinners are served. You are paying for it so; you might as well enjoy the fine dining experience. The picture above is the poolside area on the 11th deck. The stairs will lead down to the Great Outdoor and Garden Cafe'. We just love it here for breakfast and we love to occupy the seats nearby the full glass window. It's just awesome to see the calm seas while having breakfast.I like the free style dining because I can sit to any table and in any dining area that I want in any time. In the other cruise lines, you have no freedom like that. You are stuck to the selected time and you are stuck to the same people who join with you on the table.Anyway, the food in Norwegian Sky is really delicious. Oh, that's the breakfast of my hubby just a pancake with butter and coffee with cream. One more thing, in Freestyle dining, you have the freedom to have your food delivered in your room free of charge. How nice and convenient is that right?

Buffet at the Beau Rivage

Dining out is just one of the activities that we enjoyed doing while we live in Mississippi. So, when we had our week long vacation last week, we had our breakfast at the Beau Rivage. It was a Wednesday so, the Beau had a buffet deal for seniors. We only paid $19.00 for the three of us at the Beau Rivage Hotel and Casino in Biloxi, Mississippi. When I was working in the casino a year ago, I was in the graveyard shift and in the morning, we always dine out for breakfast. I miss that! All casinos in the area have a buffet all day long. I do not prepare for our breakfast anymore so, when I arrive home, I can sleep for the day.
This is the main lobby of the Beau Rivage. The buffet area is at the right end part of the lobby, behind that tree. The food is delicious and there are so much to choose from. Breakfast is usually less than $10/person but, for Mondays, Beau has specials for military: 2 for 1 breakfast/lunch. Every Tuesdays, the kids eat for free; Wednesdays, seniors are charged half price. Other casinos have their own specials too. When we dine out before, we always go to the places with good deals.I can only have two plates and I am full. Well, for a price of $10, the breakfast buffet in the Beau is my favorite.This is the buffet area of the Beau Rivage. The selections of the food goes all the way to the left side. They have salads for the vegetarians too with wide selections of greens. Oh! I just love this place!
