![]() The sauce was a little spicy, but really didn’t kick in until I had eaten all the shrimp. The batter didn’t take away from the other flavors in the dish. These were also lightly battered which I loved. The combination of flavors was incredible! If our first course hadn’t come out while we were still eating the oysters I may have seriously considered ordering more.įor my first course I had the Salt & Pepper Crispy Shrimp which were topped with ginger, scallions, shiitakes, & a red chile sauce. we got the Batterfried Oysters and they were amazing! They were lightly battered, topped with a light curry sauce, and sat atop a pickled Asian cucumber. My gift certificate was enough to cover both our MD meals and then some, so we decided to start off with an additional appetizer. So I was happy to see that they brought us both menus. I know it sounds silly, but not being brought both made us feel like ordering from the MD menu wasn’t encouraged. At another restaurant we went to during Magical Dining we were only given the regular menus and had to ask for the MD ones. I have to point out that they gave us the regular menu AND the Magical Dining menu. We were sat at a very comfy half booth/half table and handed our menus. ![]() ![]() We took her up on her offer and enjoyed two very tasty, and very strong, blood orange mojitos while we waited (which was only another 5 minutes at the most). We told her it wasn’t an issue, but she still offered us some complimentary drinks in the meantime. Around 7:21 (I checked my phone) the manager came over and apologized for the wait and explained they had a bunch of tables that had paid and they were just waiting for them to leave. She told me it would probably be a 15 minute wait which wasn’t a big deal. I waited until I knew when my friend would arrive and checked us in at the hostess station around 7:05. What in the world was going on? I did show up on the right day didn’t I? The parking lot was full, the lobby & bar were full, and there wasn’t an empty table in sight. I was shocked when I showed up at 7:00 pm and the place was slammed. We made a reservation for 7:15 pm on a Wednesday. I took along my friend Andrea because she had been dying to go. I checked out Eddie V’s menu and liked what I saw, so when I won a gift certificate for there I was super stoked. To be honest, I hadn’t heard of Eddie V’s until late August when my friends and I were starting to make decisions about where we wanted to go during Magical Dining month. I was lucky enough to win a gift certificate on Twitter from Visit Orlando to try out Magical Dining at Eddie V’s in the Dr. Long story short, you could get a 3 course meal at a slew of high end restaurants for just $33 per person. Last month was Magical Dining month here in Orlando.
