DH and I are going for a quick 4 night visit in August to celebrate our 10th anniversary (sans kids)..

Our ADR's are as follows:

night 2: Narcoossee's 5:50pm
night 3: Cali Grill 7:40
night 4: yachtsman 7:00

I want to change from either California Grill or Yachtsman for Bistro de Paris when the 30 day window opens up.... which would YOU give up?

Keep in mind DH is going to order a steak no matter where we dine, while I will try anything. I prefer the Yachtsman apps but also actually like the California Grill's sushi offerings.. The Entree's are a split at either for me... I like them about the same.

also, Wishes is at 10pm that night (at the Grill), so we will not be sticking around to view them from there.. we would probably head over to the GF to watch from the beach.

Thanks!!
 
I've never eaten at Yachtsman, but have at CG and would recommend that you keep CG. It is amazing! The filet there is outstanding, as is all of the other food. Every time we eat there our meal takes at least 2 hours, so you may be able to see the fireworks from the restaurant.
 
I would cancel the Yatchsman. The atmosphere there is really cool, but you can't beat the view from the CG. Food is good is both places, but I prefer the CG over the Yatchsman. Just my $.02. :)
 
Don't give up CG - you will be missing out on one of the finest dining experiences in WDW!
 

First of all...Happy 10th anniversary :cheer2: :banana: :dance3: :woohoo:
I have tried both and loved them both, but if I had to pick one to eat at it would be Cali Grill. The food it amazing, and the view can not be beat. If you can try to get a table by the window.
 
We have CG booked for our last night...wanted Narcoosees again, love it, but wanted to to try CG:)
I would give up the yachtsman...the CG seems to be a whole experience, not just a dining one
Happy Anniversary:)
 
I would give up Yacthsmen Steak house, they are really expensive and I think the Cali grill is way better. Plus after eating there you can return at night to watch Wishes from the Roof top. We totally loved CG.! Hope this helps.
 
Just wondering if they even have steak at the Bistro??
Anyway, I guess I'd keep California Grill.
 
We have never eaten at Yachtsman but we just ate at Cali Grill for the first time this June. I had the fillet and it was the best steak I had ever had. Fork tender and cooked exactly as I requested. I never had anyone cook a steak exactly to my liking except myself EVER until that night
 
The CG has great food and an awesome atmosphere. When my best friend was home from Iraq, we made a quick trip to Disney and took our wives to CG and it was great. We had gone to Ruth's Chris earlier in the week and my DW thought the filet at CG was better than Ruth's Chris. We had a late ADR and we were able to watch Wishes from the observation deck. The whole experience took almost two hours, you may still be able to watch Wishes from CG.
 
Definately cancel Yachtsman. We enjoy them both but California Grill is wonderful and the view is fantastic. We tried it for the first time last year and now wish we wouldn't have put it off for so many trips. It will be a must do from now on. Enjoy!
 
We like both. But I like CG better. The food is great and I really enjoy the atmosphere and view.
 
Another vote for keeping Cali. Grill, we like it better then YSH and you just can't beat that view.
 
For your anniversary, you really have only one choice ... the California Grill. We celebrated our 20th anniversary there in 2005. Enjoy ...

My wife and I shared this dessert ...

I would give up Yachtsman. It's good, but it's a steakhouse... I'm sure you have a nice steakhouse near your home that you can eat at anytime. The CG is amazing! The food is out of this world, and if you like sushi, I think you are going to be very pleased... my boyfriend still talks about the sushi he had (Tuna Three Ways - twice!) when we were there in May at least once a week! I know you aren't planning on staying for Wishes, but the view of the castle in general is magnificent. And maybe you could arrive for your ADR a little early and go out on the observation deck to enjoy a drink and the view without the crowds that are out there during the fireworks. Enjoy!!!
 
Another vote here to keep Cali Grill....
My favorite restaurant in WDW:love:
Happy Anniversary....Enjoy

I agree, keep Cali Grill and cancel Yachtsman, truly Yachtsman is nothing special in my opinion, I have had far better steak in other restaurants on property.
 
Looks like you are going upscale for your anniversary. Have you considered Victoria & Alberts? I love, love CA Grill, but V&A is an amazing experience.
