REVIEW: Can I Take This Chocolate Cake On A Date In Disney World?

By 2 Comments

In the past few years, there’s been a restaurant in Disney World that we believe is truly underrated.

The Steak Frites from Steakhouse 71!

It’s great for a special occasion or it’s acceptable to visit when you’re in your theme park clothes. What IS this magical place? It’s Steakhouse 71 at Disney’s Contemporary Resort, and we recently stopped by to do a full lunch review. You’re gonna want to stick around for this one!
