Obviously they don’t know that white chocolate is NOT chocolate! I will NEVER go back! And I sincerely hope that others won’t go there either unless they are looking for one of the worst dining experiences a person could have. But not impressed with anything, I ordered it, ate a few bites, and took the rest home to my dog who appreciated it a lot more than I did! For dessert I ordered the chocolate mouse, which came out looking like a pancake with a poached egg on top! I refused it! Then another server or supervisor came out, and said that the white part was white chocolate. Even for Magical Dining Month veterans, the annual event can feel a little overwhelming thanks to the 110-plus restaurants participating with three-course prix-fixe meals for 35. When I asked about the “Hanger Steak,” it was described to me as being like a “Skirt Steak!” REALLY? When I was a child we had skirt steaks many times because they were cheap, thus on the side of being tough. I have NEVER been told in ANY restaurant to order “now” so that we could vacate the table in time for the next reservation!! The menu was short and unimpressive - I often eat chicken and fish at home. Celebrating its 18th year, Visit Orlando’s Magical Dining® offers three-course, prix-fixe dinners at many of Orlando’s top restaurants including MICHELIN Guide honorees.

But that didn’t happen! We were pestered numerous times to order. The location of DoveCote has quite a reputation for restaurants that just don’t prosper, and for the sake of Orlando diners, I hope that DoveCote also goes out of business and leaves! Soon! This place is a travesty to the diners out who either live in Orlando or visit here! My dining companion and I had barely been seated, and wanted some time to enjoy a cocktail before we ordered dinner.
