Disney Wonder Dining - Parrot Cay Dinner Review

Okay everyone, life is officially not as hectic anymore! We finally have time to blog regularly again – so let’s talk about some more Disney Cruise Line food. Today we have Parrot Cay. We ate dinner at Parrot Cay on our second night aboard the Wonder. This night just happened to be formal night, so we all got dressed up, felt pretty, and just happened to be in the most casual of the three main dining restaurants on this evening. No matter, while none of us like dressing up regularly we enjoyed doing it on the cruise.

Now, Parrot Cay is located on deck three all of the way at the back of the ship. It has an island flair to it and is decorated with reds, blues, and greens as well as tropical birds. Also, be sure to check out the light fixtures on the walls – it’s Sebastian the crab from The Little Mermaid! The island features are what makes Parrot Cay feel more relaxed than the other two main dining locations.

After we were seated we anxiously awaited some delicious Disney Cruise Line food.

Just as every night, to start our dinner we were brought a basket of fresh warm bread. On this evening it was warm banana bread with creamy banana dip. It was amazing – we had to ask for more.

To start we tried two soups and a dip.

The kid’s Broccoli Cheddar Soup was creamy and had great cheese and broccoli flavor.

The Cream of Asparagus Soup had just enough asparagus flavor to not be overpowering for those that tend to not like asparagus, like us, but we like to try new things. The soup was creamy, but the cream did not overpower the asparagus. Overall a very satisfying soup.

The dip was Baked Crab Martinique. It had good crab flavor, stringy cheese and it went well with the tortilla chips. It also came with a plantain chip, but because Miriya is not a fan of plantains it was given to Christian and he devoured it.

On to the entrees…

The kid’s Fish Nuggets had flaky batter draped around flavorful, moist cod. The fish came with steamed broccoli and potato steak fries. The broccoli was flavorful and the fries were crisp on the outside and soft on the inside.

We also tried the Slow Roasted Prime Rib served with roasted carrots, parsnips, celery, and a twice baked potato. The meat was moist, tender, and flavorful, the meat flavor was enhanced by the natural jus. The carrots still had a bite to them which was great and the potato was full of potato-y flavor.

Last of the entrées was the Mixed Grill.  Beef tenderloin, lamb chop, bacon-wrapped sausage, and jumbo shrimp served with mashed potatoes, asparagus and grilled tomato. All of the meat was tender and had great grilled flavor. The meat was rested on top of mashed potatoes which were creamy and had grilled flavor thanks to the meat that was on top of them. The asparagus still had a bit to it and the tomato was nicely grilled. The Cabernet mushroom sauce rich and paired well with the meat.

Now for dessert…

We sampled the Warm Sticky Date Pudding and the Paradise Coconut Pineapple Layer Cake.

The date pudding was a pudding in the British sense of the word. A warm cake with sweet date flavor drenched in date sauce. It was served with vanilla ice cream which paired well with the cake.

The Pineapple Layer Cake was a moist sponge cake with great pineapple and coconut flavor. The cake was paired with a mango coulis.

So much amazing food! We enjoyed Parrot Cay each time that we dined there.
