On my recent trip to Orlando, FL, my genius friend Andrea suggested that we hit up a little place called T Rex for dinner. Little did I know I was about to embark on a prehistoric journey of deliciously mind-blowing proportions.
Our expedition began with a greeting from T-Rex himself. Roarrrrrr!
We passed through the deep sea-themed bar, which featured beautiful sea monsters and jellyfish suspended from the ceiling. Colorful aquariums filled with real tropical fish served as dividers between the bar area and the restaurant. This section was extraordinary!
T Rex serves a drink called a Cotton-tini, which is basically a martini that is poured over a puff of cotton candy. I knew that I must try it. Even though it was incredibly sweet, I was delighted as I sipped the sugary concoction. It even came with a commemorative martini shaker!
From our table, we had a view of the Parasaurolophus and it's baby in front of the ice cave. Every 15 minutes, there was a reenactment of the great meteorite impact which killed the dinosaurs. Basically, the lights would dim, the ice cave would turn red, and all of the dinosaurs would begin growling and moving around in an animatronic displays of fear and hostility.
We could also see a Triceratops from our table. His body wrapped around the edge of the restaurant to form booths.
The menu consisted of typical American bar fare. We shared quesadillas, a cheesy flatbread, and some mushroom ravioli. It was tasty in a douced-in-saturated-fat sort of way. Basically, if you are a fan of cheese, you will not be disappointed.
