California Grill or Narcoosi Firework dilemma

[Kaz65]

Hi,
Only 24 days to go and needing to firm up choice of restaurant for best view of fireworks. Our CG one is early evening so plan on eating - going to MK then returning to viewing deck and N at Grand Floridian booked for 1930 so would hang around there - decisions decisions??
Any advice?

If you really like Fish, then Narcossees, for me the Cali Grill view is better

Cali Grill view is miles better however Narcoossees does the best filet steak on property for me! I'm not a fish eater so always have this when we eat here.

If you left the Cali Grill to go into MK, would you be allowed back to the viewing platform for the fireworks?

We always eat at both of those restaurants when we are there, the view that you get of the fireworks are very different at each one.
Although you are way closer when watching from the viewing deck(s) of the Cali Grill you are at an angle so you won't get that perfect straight on view of the castle being framed with fireworks, saying that we really enjoy heading out to one of the viewing decks with a glass of wine & watching the show & as we are normally only make it over the pond from the UK every couple of years we would be disappointed if we didn't eat at the CG & see the fireworks.
The view from Narcoossees is obviously much further away but still very unique & just as special & something we always look forward to, as with the CG we head outside with a glass of wine to watch the show & they play the music on the terrace & in the restaurant.
If we had to choose one of those two restaurants based on the meals that we had in both of them last year then the Cali Grill would win, the service, food & wine were superb.
Whatever you choose, I'm sure you'll have a great evening.

Yeah, you just keep your receipt, if it's on the 3rd or 4th July there is a huuuuge queue!

I never knew that. We've always eaten quite late and just wandered out onto the viewing platform. We probably wouldn't be allowed into MK with the amount of alcohol consumed with our meals anyway!!
