Originally Posted By Rebekah I was pleasantly surprised by our experience at Nine Dragons. I ordered a spicy dish -- and it kicked me pretty hard. I used to eat spicy a lot but since Doobie doesn't handle spicy its been awhile and it showed. It was a Sichuan style beef and even though really spicy (which the menu and server warned me of) -- it was flavorful beyond that. With more time and a second bowl of steamed white rice I'd have eaten it all. But we were all pretty damp from the rain and eager to get home so I ate as much as I could -- by the way it really warmed up my damp bones. Doobie is so right about John O'Hurley as narrator. His warm voice and narrative skill were a perfect for this event. It had a true storytelling with musical accentuation to it. I'm hoping that we'll be able to go back and see the upcoming performance that will feature visiting CMs from Disneyland. Oh and the tree lighting -- it was kind of sad 'cause the rain stopped for a bit after they announced the show would be cancelled. But the tree lit up and the audience still clapped and stood in the drizzle to briefly enjoy the lights of winter before heading for cover. Rebekah.

I am worried about the cutback in menu items, but that's with every Disney 'fine dining' locale. <<Doobie is so right about John O'Hurley as narrator.

Sadly, I can't say the same about him as a human being as he was quite nasty to a dear friend of mine last year ... he's a bit (or maybe 100 bits) too impressed with himself.
