Day 1 (5/28) Narcoossee's
Seating time- 7:50
After a wonderful day exploring the animals it was time to head to one of the dinner reservations that I was most excited about!
We took a bus to Magic Kingdom, and hopped a boat over to the Grand Floridian. I was thrilled when we were greeted at the door by a very nice man who welcomed us, and directed us to the podium. We checked in, and I asked for a table on the windows. We were told it would be a bit of a wait, but they would do their best!
We decided to step out onto the deck, and enjoy the view while we waited.
We were very surprised by the number of children that we saw running around! I thought that we had made our reservation on the late side, but I guess not quite late enough.
It wasn’t too long before we were lead to a nice 4 top on the windows!
Our view
We ordered drinks to start : Josh got a coke, and I got a sprite.
I love that the menus are printed everyday!
Joshua looking at the drink menu
I knew to hit the timing right, we were going to have to take our time with this meal. I asked if we could have a few moments with the menu before we ordered. Our server brought us some bread and butter. The bread was crusty on the outside, and nice and soft on the inside. It was served with butter that was sprinkled with salt. Butter is one of my weaknesses. I try so hard to avoid it at home, but I had butter every day we were on vacation!
For appetizers I chose to go with the mussels, and the wine pairing with it.
The mussels themselves were very sweet. I loved the broth that they were served in. The “toast” that they were served with was not very toasty at all. I was not impressed. My whine paring was fantastic, and really complimented both the mussels and the broth.
Joshua went with the calamari
Josh wanted a photo for my Disney Friends that showed that it wasn’t just the circles, that there were tentacles too… eww
We enjoyed the electrical water pageant, as we waited for our entrees to come, and as we first dug into them.
For an entrée I chose the grilled filet minion
My steak was very tasty, cooked to a perfect medium rare. I really like the veggies that came with it. The potatoes were so rich that I only took a few bites, but they were very very good. I wiped the sauce off my steak, it didn’t do the meat any favors. I am a big fan of the idea that a really good piece of meat doesn’t need sauces to cover it up.
Joshua went with the Salmon, the Chef’s recommendation for the evening.
It was very rare, and Josh had never had rare fish before. That took him a bit by surprise. “It was good” He didn’t really eat all the stuff piled on it, as he was more interested in the fish. I am not a big fan of fish, so we don’t have it at home very often.
With the meal Josh ordered himself a few of these
Warning, if you have a child, or act like a child like I do, the water parade can be distracting
Soon enough our dessert menus appeared
I chose the Bittersweet Chocolate Mousse. I am a big fan of bitter, dark chocolate.
For me, this was by far the best part of the meal. The mousse was very chocolaty. It was bitter, but not too bitter. I loved the fresh berries and whipped cream that were with it! I would love to have this again!
Josh went with the gelato sampler.
It had chocolate, raspberry, pistachio and cappuccino!
Me – how as the gelato
Josh – it was good
Me – just good?
Josh – uh hu
Then it was time for the fireworks!!
A wonderful boat ride back, and we were headed to bed, dreaming of noming our way through the Magic Kingdom!
I can’t find the receipt, so I can’t tell you how much it was… I will keep looking!
Credits used – 4
Worth the Credits:
Josh – Yea I would say so due to the view. The food and the view.
Me – Meh. I would like to try another signature. I liked Cali Grill better I think….. but I would give it another try
Sorry you weren't feeling well for LTT. Beside LeCellier, that is PrincessK's favorite place. I think it's good too, but I'm not crazy about it like she is. Unfortunately for us, we're very much meat and potatoes kind of people and don't try new things often. I'm looking forward to all your reviews. Keep 'em coming! 
He just doesn't like the whole concept behind that place, though I was there with friends once and it was fun. And Mama Melrose and Hollywood & Vine just seem sort of blah, so we went with Sci-Fi. At least the atmosphere there should be fun!
