Menus
 

Well, there's an interesting disparity in the Wolfgang Puck menu at Disney and the Wolfgang Puck menu in Las Vegas, both in food offered and prices.

Wolfgang Puck Grand Cafe Menu - Disney Springs

CUT, Las Vegas - Wolfgang Puck

Which incarnation do you expect in The Villages?

We went to Spago in LA. While we enjoyed the meal, the best part of the experience was that Betty White et al, was seated at a nearby table. I couldn't keep from eavesdropping on their conversation. Such fun!

Looks about right for The Villages and the menu looks good.

We dined often at Wolfgang Puck Grill in California before moving here. I actually tried and failed to open one in Brownwood when it was first under development. I found the number of permanent residents in TV would not come as the prices would be higher than most, and the developer wanted unrealistic rent. I wish them well and will patronize. Since Brownwood took a long time to catch on I am glad I backed off. $150.00 is not realistic, this is no Spago.

Wolfgang Puck
 

A number of years ago, Puck opened a restaurant in Sawgrass Mills in Broward County. It lasted several years before closing due to lack of business. I operated a large Jewelry Exchange 2 doors away and they were overpowered bo Cheesecake Factory. Their menu was uninspiring.

Doran, you are spot on, Brownwood has taken a bit longer than Lake Sumter Landing to develop. With some of the recent announcements, (especially development south of 44) it appears that Brownwood may see a "flurry" of action.

The new hotel and Wolfgang Puck restaurant will be a good addition to Brownwood.

Had dinner at restaurant in Orlando. I thought extremely overpriced, menu options very limited, portions small

CUT in Vegas is a high end steakhouse. A very high end steakhouse. Think Kobe beef, Huge lobster tails, top quality grass fed beef, etc. If you're on a roll ( hey, it's Vegas), it's well worth it at an average of $100 per person.

Disney Springs is a totally different story and menu. Very good food but a lot less $$ than CUT.

Wolfgang has several food concepts out. Which one this will be is TBD but I've never had a bad meal at any of his places. And for sure, I'll be going to this new joint before I hit the Guy Fieri place.

Disney has a Wolfgang Puk Grand Cafe and Wolfgang Puk Express. Two totally different experiences.

Wolfgang Puck & Gut Fieri's are just franchises. Think Bonefish Grill.

We had lunch this winter at the Wolfgang Puck in Disney Springs. Maybe it was just a bad day but the meals (presentation especially) were not at all satisfying. The staff was friendly but that was about the only positive thing we would say about the experience. Oh, nice views from some tables.

Hubby and I ate at Wolfgang Puck in Disney Springs before going to the Cirque de Soleil next door. Food was OK. They charged hubby $1.50 for ice in his gin and tonic. (6.25 +1.50) They did not tell him up front. He noticed it on the bill.

They don't charge for the ice. Here is what the charge is.
************************************************** **
Guests are noticing a line on their receipt that reads something like, “$$ROCKS $2.00″. I thought I might try to explain that you are not actually being charged for the ICE.
The ‘rocks’ you are paying for is an up charge for the additional alcohol added to your drink. When a guest orders a drink ‘on the rocks’ or maybe ‘up’, typically you are getting an additional .5-1.0 fluid ounces on top of the standard single shot.Standard shots vary with every establishment. The majority will give you a 1.5 oz pour with a mixed drink.

It's very European sophisticated to charge for ice.
