1. California Grill
2. Citrico's
3. Narcoossee's

Looking for a great meal to enjoy on the last night of our trip. Which one would give us a magical ending to our magical vacation??

We have heard great things about all 3, but if you had to choose one, which one would it be??
 
The food is best at Citricos but it would be the last of the 3 I'd pick if I had young children. The restaurant is pretty boring. So if I had younger diners with me, I'd pick one of the other two. They both have good food and offer nice views and an atmosphere that the kiddos would enjoy. I prefer Ca Grill over Narcoosees but that's because I enjoy sushi.
 
I would do Cali Grill with a Wishes time if possible. :)

Our last night is always spent watching Wishes from somewhere different each time. We have done the beach, the train station, Main St. the ferry, restaurants, etc...

This is the best way for us to end our vacation. :)
 
I had to make the same choice. I chose Narcoossees. We've already been to the California Grill and although we love it, wanted to try something new. We're from New Jersey, and I've grown up going to the Jersey Shore in the summer and Narcoossees reminded me of one of our favorite restaurants down there. It's right on the water, has seafood and has one of the most spectacular views of anywhere on Disney property.
 

We had dinner at all three in August, and we're returning to all three this December, so you can see we enjoyed them.

I think it depends on what you're looking for.

My oldest DS really liked Citricos where he had the chicken. My younger DS was thrilled with the eclairs he had for dessert. We all enjoyed our food. Service was pretentious though, and the atmosphere is not exciting or particularly unique. This is the quietest of the restaurants.

Narcoossee's has a very nice view, and all of us (except for my oldest DS) liked the food. This is the most casual of the three.

At California Grill, I actually liked the appetizer and dessert better than my entree (but it was fine). We had an excellent server here (the best of the three), and all three of my kids really enjoyed it. The view is gorgeous of course, even if you're not seated by the window.

We're doing CG on our first "real" night, Citricos in the middle, and Narcoossee's at the end. I think you'll enjoy any of the meals. It just depends on what you're looking for.
 
If I had to choose between the 3 and hadn't been to any- I'd go Cali Grill for the "top of the world" view.
 
With the kids 12 and 14 I would select Citricos as my first choice.
 
We thought Cali Grill was insanely fantastic and would love to go back there again but we are going to try Citricos next week because I have heard wonderful things about it lately...oh and my goal is to eat at every single place in WDW :rotfl:
 
I haven't tried Citricos but we have it booked for our next trip. Between Narcossees' and California Grill, I'd pick California Grill. While the food was good at Narcossee's, the service wasn't as good as it was at California Grill. I also enjoyed the food (and wine selection) a little more at California Grill.
 
California Grill is my recommendation. My wife and I just ate there in April for our honeymoon. Food and atmosphere was fantastic. And watching Wishes from the observation deck can't be beat.
