Ditto for us. Many times they actually split the meal and serve it on two plates. I do always tip as though we had both had a meal since it’s just as much work for the server.We split entrees all the time. Never a problem. We usually get two appetizers and one entree.
I didn’t know that this was possible! We’ve avoided the AYCTE places because we’d be wasting so much food.We split often too without issue. We even split the Taste of the Bayou at Boatwrights which is an AYCTE platter. We couldn't order free refills since we were sharing but it was more than enough food on the first platter. (The CM did tell us we could actually order more of any item but would have to pay a small fee).
So I don't think it will work in restaurants that are strictly AYCTE such as Liberty Tree Tavern, Garden Grill or 'Ohana but it's worth asking in places that offer a la carte items as well as AYCTE platters such as Boatwrights and Whispering Canyon. YMMVI didn’t know that this was possible! We’ve avoided the AYCTE places because we’d be wasting so much food.
The only way around the Prix Fixe is to sit at the bar and they have a small bar menu. You can get the prix fixe at the bar too though.Can you a meal at California Grill now that the menu has changed to pri fixed.
