Help in Selecting a Signature Dining Restaurant

[2Infinity&Beyond]

This November, my wife and I are going on our first adults only trip, and I will be running in the Wine and Dine Half Marathon.

Since this is such a special trip for us, I wanted to pick a 2 TS credit signature dining restaurant to celebrate running in the race, and for us to experience a restaurant we have never tried before. Of course, many of them look so incredible, and we are having a hard time deciding, since we like so many of the items that are offered (steak, seafood, sushi, ect).

Between California Grill, Le Cellier, Narcoossee's, and Yatchsmen; which one would you pick?

Many thanks in advance for all the help!

I've never eaten at CG or Yachtsman, but we LOVE Narcoossee's! Great atmosphere, top-notch service, awesome food.

We used to love Le Cellier as well, but that was back when it was a non-signature. Now that it requires 2 DDP credits, it's just not worth it, IMO.

Where are you staying? You might be tired, so proximity to your resort might end up being important.

I've eaten at all 4 locations and there were things I liked about all of them. Ultimately, our best overall dining experience was California Grill (pre-refurb). We had an awesome table, great service and a great meal.

My least favorite was Narcoossee's. It was just OK in my opinion. The service and the food while good....didn't knock my socks off.

We are staying staying at Pop, but I do not mind traveling to any of these locations.

I think California Grill and Narcoossee's are the top two restaurants of that group.

I'd then put Yachtsman above LeCellier.

California Grill is my top of this list as well.

We got a reservation 2 hrs before the MK fireworks and were able to watch from the table with dessert.

Le Cellier. Very good.

We thought that the food and service were wonderful at Narcoossee's, but it was really, really loud in there. We had to yell to be heard by each other at a two-top! Just something to consider, since calm, quiet has become a + for me when figuring out dining.

I haven't tried Narcoosees--yet. The location looks great and we'll make it there one of these days.

I've been to your other choices and would pick Yachtsman far above CG and LeCellier. The food is spectacular there, plus the service and atmosphere are quite impressive.

CG's menu IMO can be weird. If you hit it on a night when you don't love the selections--like I did--you'll be stuck with a less than stellar meal. However in any event, the service, atmosphere and view will blow you away.

LeCellier has some tasty recipes, but the servers are all Canadian college interns. They are nice enough, but they are in no way equal to Disney's best waitstaff, which is who you will have at the other restaurants. Plus the atmosphere is designed to resemble a wine cellar. It's fine, but it doesn't have a fabulous view like you get in CG. It's not close to the beauty you would experience on a dock overlooking Seven Seas Lagoon. LeCellier became a signature because of its popularity on the Dining plan, but IMO, you don't receive a signature quality experience there.

We decided on Narcoossee's for our special dinner in November.

Narcoossee's is our all time favorite at DW, but California Grill is a close second.
