The Mickey-shaped puff pastry here is pretty adorable and was light and easy to cut.

The filling tasted like stroganoff, except without the noodles. The meat was tender and still had good flavor.

The microgreens were a fresh addition amidst the heavy beef sauce, buttery crust, and creamy topping.

This wasn’t much of a deviation on Beef Wellington as the “twist” would imply, but it’s still very good, and we would get it again.

These came with a huge portion of tots covered in sauerkraut and chunks of ham. It may have been better with shredded meat, but overall for the price, this was well received.

Churro Toffee Cold Brew (Non-Alcoholic) – $6.50

We found the flavor of this coffee to be just like every other Joffrey’s coffee cold brew, with a hint of vanilla. It was a bit watery, but as the whipped cream got stirred in, we found ourselves liking it more. Obviously, anything with churro toffee on top is a win. We decided we would drink this over our regular Starbucks cold brew as we wandered the parks this time of year, as it isn’t as sweet. Cold brew fans should check this drink out.
