I know nothing about Citricos, but absolutely LOVE Narcoossee's, so I can at least vouch for one of them. Great view, amazing food, and nice but not "stuffy". Servers were fantastic both times we were there, too.
You really cannot go wrong with either. They're both wonderful. However, I feel that Citricos is a step above the other signatures. I always say that Citricos is the finest of signature fine dining at Disney. I would look at the menus and choose the one that appeals to you most.
Narcoossee's! I've been to both and prefer Narcoossee's in every way - the food, the service, and the atmosphere(especially during Wishes) I never realized just how much I liked it until I responded in another thread asking to mix and match apps, entrees and desserts from any Disney restaurant for your perfect meal and I chose all Narcoosse's menu items.
I have never been to Citricos, but I went to Narcoosee's last month and it was the best meal of the trip. The food was amazing and the view of the fireworks was great too. I would highly recommend it!
Narcoossee's! We've done both, and love N for the reasons mentioned above. We actually had a poor experience last time we were at Citricos. Very, very slow poor service and the food was mediocre. Prior to that we'd had good experiences, but I'm hesitant to go back considering the price. Love love love Narcoossee's!
Never dined at Citrico's but last Xmas we went with another family. They had ADRs at Citricos and we had Narcoossee's. Of course we took food pics and gave our reviews. They really enjoyed their meal and the food pics looked similar. I think Narcoossee's has a better view and ambiance, though. You can see the fireworks if you plan your reservations right.
This is TOUGH. As others have said, BOTH Restaurants are EXCELLENT. So - what I would suggest? Look at the Online Menus on this board's Dinning Menu section. See what APPEALS to you .
While my reaction is that you can't go wrong with either, I just wanted to congratulate you for getting the spellings spot on - Narcoosee's has an apostrophe and Citricos does not. (It isn't run by or owned by "Citrico".)
Citricos has my vote! I've eaten at Citricos several times and Narcoosee's twice. Citricos has always blown me away and while Narcoosee's is good, I prefer Flying Fish for our seafood restaurant.
We celebrated an anniversary at narc. The night was literally perfect. Perfect table, service was amazing, food delicious great view of the electric water parade and fireworks
We have yet to go back. It was that perfect of a night
Our one and only visit to Citricos was not great. My entree was sent back and nothing other than the bread was acceptable. Sigh, I really wanted to love it there too
Have Citricos booked for our upcoming trip, but have been to Narcosses twice on 2 previous trips. First time it was wonderful the second time (2013) it was mediocre.
