Cove Bar Lunch - California Adventure

New thing today, sat at the Cove Bar at California Adventure and had lunch! It was delicious and scenic and I loved it. Did I mention they serve alcohol which is fabulous! So family took me out as a birthday gift and we decided to get drinks and food share them all. I really wanted a seat by the lake and so was lucky enough to get a wonderful view! It was a lovely lovely birthday lunch and a first for every menu item and a first to actually go to this restaurant, but it won't be a last.

I got the special Strawberry Iced Tea (alcoholic) pictured in front, and my sister got the Strawberry Pina Colada (non-alcoholic) pictured in back. The Pina Colada was so much tastier and yummier than my drink. It was sweet and flavorful. My Iced Tea was "eh", good enough, and it gave me a wonderful buzz to enjoy the food and scenery. The Pina Colada though was much tastier.

We decided to try 3 menu items as well. The wings were #1 fantastic! We will be getting these again sometime soon hopefully.

We also got sliders. #2 and these were super tasty and I loved the fried onion shreds that came with the sandwich. Good enough to snack on.

#3 and least flavorful were the lobster nachos, which ironically was the reason we went to the Cove Bar because my sister mentioned them and they sounded intriguing. Overall they were bland and I wasn't super impressed with it, but it filled us up which was nice.

Oh and another first, which I'm pretty proud of. I wasn't obsessed with the food or having something "super delicious". My focus for lunch wasn't on the food, but on the ambiance, scenery, drinks and overall experience of eating outside by the Disney California Adventure lake. I suppose it's good because of the whole Weight Watchers - taking focus away from food mentality. I was really proud of myself and I was more concerned about having a good time with the family and drinking in the scenery and overall experience, rather than just what went down my gullet. A cool first, and I may be posting more about the overall experience of a restaurant or an outing, rather than focusing on just the food or flavor of a dish. I'm learning to appreciate other things.

Here is to new firsts and new experiences!
