I have 3 reservations for C-Mas dinner. It started out with us as a party of 3, so I booked CRT, in June. Now, we have additional Family Members. I was able to get Narcoossee's for 3 and 3, but we willbe separated...SOI keep calling
and was able to get Citricos for a party of 6 at 6:50 pm.

Thanks-

I finally tried Citricos in April of this year. It was wonderful. The quail appetizer is to die for. My friend & I split the tenderloin for our main course. It was cooked perfectly & butter soft. We each had a Cinderellabration special for dessert.

The restaurant was very relaxing. The chairs were particularly comfortable, making it a nice place for a long, laid back meal. Our server was great. He was attentive without being stifling, adept but not remotely arrogant. (I think his name was Dan)

I loved the meal so much, it was the first place I planned for DH & I this coming trip. I timed the meal to be over just before the fireworks so we can watch it from the GF marina, which is a lovely place to view them from.

I have also eaten at Narcoossees recently & although the evening was spectacular & the food was good, Citricos was better, IMHO. You couldn't go wrong with either, tho. Enjoy!

I am kind of wondering too- We have a ressie for Citricos, which I am very excited about. I heard that the chefs from Narcoosees and Citricos switched a few months ago tho, so Im wondering if Citricos is still so good....not that Narcoosee is supposed to be bad or anything. Anyone able to give an opinion on one vs the other??

The Chef swap had happened already when I went in April. I was wondering if it would affect the quality. What we had was very, very good, even tho it was the new Chef. My original plan was to check out Chef Grey's work since I had heard so many wonderful things about him, but I liked the menu at Citricos better than Narcoossees, so I kept the reservation even with the switch.

Citrico's is one of the most under-rated, best kept dining secrets at WDW. As a previous poster wrote, the quail appetizer is very good. I love the towering veal shank. I recommend the wine pairings. Add the fact you are in the fabulous Grand Floridian and you'll have a memorable experience.

Citricos is one of my favorites! I'm sure you know that it has a much different atmosphere from CRT - more sophisticated. The food is delicious. The staff is the best on property. How could you go wrong? You'll be in the glorious GF!! Excellent choice. Narcoosees is also wonderful. It is more casual than Citricos.
