VENUE: Sleek Space at Bluezoo

September 7, 2004

E3916bluezoo Private Dining Roo

Nestled deep inside the Walt Disney World Dolphin hotel, celebrity chef Todd English has set up shop. Todd English's Bluezoo offers a sleek, modern space that does not take itself too seriously. The space is reminiscent of a futuristic underwater fantasy. Aluminum fish swim above a blue glass bar; big bubble fixtures hang overhead; and areas are partially portioned off, creating an air of privacy that doesn't feel confined. Seafood is abundant, service aims to please, and groups are welcome. —Shari Lynn Rothtstein
