This was our 9th visit to Victoria and Albert's.
The food and dining experience were, as always, outstanding.
The harpist, Elizabeth (a previous Pixie Dust List nominee) provided a magical atmosphere.
Since our last visit, however, the price has increased from $185 per person to $235 and the wine pairings from $105 to $150 per person.
With tip, that took the bill, for the two of us, over $1000.

At 1700, we took the monorail to the Grand Floridian and met a gentleman from Washington, in tails, who was raised in Salisbury and he and Lew swapped names they knew and then went into Victoria And Alberts.
We were seated by Boris who told us Israel had just had back surgery and would be out for a few weeks.
Our servers for the evening were Sherry and her husband Jack.
