Citrico's vs. Narcoossee's

[AlwaysAPrincess]

My DH just surprised me with a birthday trip to WDW. We always like to try a new reataurant when we go. Which do you all prefer....Citrico's or Narcoossee's? And why?

Thank you in advance!!

I can't give you a comparison because I have only been to Citrico's, but I thought you might like some feedback since noi one else seems to have replied. I loved Citico's I thought the dining room was very attractive. The food was outstanding and the service was wonderful. The shrimp and mushrrom ravioli appatizers were particularly outstanding. There really wasn't anything I disliked about the restaurant. It would be a great choice for a special dinner.

We have dined at both. Citricos has not been open as long so we have fewer experiences there but we enjoy them both. Some in my family prefer Narcoossee's, others Citricos.

We have had excellent service at both on most occasions. One miss at each over the years and a so-so server at Citricos a couple of years back.

The food at both is great.

Narcoossee's enjoys a beautiful setting right on Seven Seas Lagoon. Citricos looks out on the courtyard area of the GF.

Citricos is in general quite a bit more quiet as Narcoossee's has wooden floors and ceilings so any sound is not muffled as much as it is at Citricos. Narcoossee's is also a smaller space and is usually more full in our experience.

Very different menus so be sure to check that out.

Have fun whichever you decide. Both are great.

I have eaten at Narcoosee's but not Citrico's, but I have gone into Citrico's for a look see. I thought the food at Narcoosee's was excellent as was the service. The dining room is definately fine with nice views of the water if you get a seat near the windows but I wasn't super impressed with the atmosphere. I though the decore and mood at Citrico's was really nice and interesting and more romantic. I have not read a bad reveiw of the food there.

We've eaten at Narcooses probably half a dozen times, and Citricos that plus some. Citricos is a better restaurant, hands down.

The food is better, the service is MUCH MUCH better, and the general atmosphere for adult dining is much better.

Narcooses attracts a lot of families, the wood floors and ceiling make it rather loud, and we've had repeat service issues there (to the point we're not going back in the forseeable future).

The quality of the service at Citricos alone makes it worth a visit.

Here is another vote for Citrico's. Though I can't compare it to Narcoossee's having never been, Citrico's is *amazing* for a special occasion. Everything was just about perfect...the service, the decor and lighting, the wine, the personalized "Happy Anniversary" menus and most of all the food. If there weren't so many more restaurants we want to try next trip (such as Jiko and California Gril and Blue Zool), I wouldn't hesitate to dine at Citrico's again. Bon Apetit and congratulations on your surprise trip!
