Mythos Is Still Yummy
I'm pleased to report that Mythos, at Islands of Adventure is maintaining its high standards. And its moderate price points!
The stand out on several recent visits was (as is so often the case) the Risotto of the Day, this time a generous mound of grilled sea scallops over a mound of perfectly done risotto, garnished with asparagus stalks and grilled cherry tomatoes.
I was less taken with the Blueberry and Pistachio Crusted Grilled Pork with a blue cheese and port wine sauce. Interesting, but I don't think I'd order it again. Still, you don't go to Mythos to have the "same old thing."
The corvina is back! That will be good news for long time Mythos fans. Seems they've banished salmon from the menu because of the chef's concerns over farmed salmon. A lot of finer restaurants are heading in this direction.
As for appetizers, the shrimp sushi is still first-rate and botton mushrooms in a cream sauce, served in a brioche bowl is also quite tasty.
They're still doing those silly mini desserts (boo, hiss), but the warm chocolate banana gooey cake is available to remind you of the way it used to be.
I've posted the Mythos menu.
