Help me decide! Signature dining

[cyoung25]

I am SO bad at making decisions!! I've changed all of our ADRs at least a hundred times lol! So I'm looking to the ones with experience to help me make this decision.

My husband and I have decided to take advantage of our adult niece travelling with us and our 2 year old daughter and have her babysit for us to go out on a date. I have looked at the signature dining menus and I just can't decide! I currently have a reservation for California Grill, but I'm not sure if I'm too excited over the menu there. So I was looking to change it. I'm torn between Narcoossee's and Bluezoo. They both look spectacular as far as the menu but Narcoossee's has a great view, I hear.

So, for those that have been there, which would you choose and why? I was also looking at the Flying Fish because I've seen it talked about on the DIS so much, but it's not striking me any more than the other two.

Thanks for the help!!!

I would choose CG. We love it and cannot wait to you it since it reopened. Go with whichever one gets you and DH excited. You can't go wrong with any of the four!

I would choose Bluezoo. The food is very good, and the ambience is nice. Obviously, having not eaten off the new menu, I can only comment on my previous CG experience. Service was outstanding, food was not. It's actually one of the worst meals that we've had at the World both times we ate there. Narcoose's food is meh, imo. It can also get pretty loud due to all the people trying to view Wishes, which judging by the fact that you are having a date night without your lo, you might not want. ( I totally relate to that one! ) Flying Fish has decent food, but will be a loud atmosphere.

Another vote for bluezoo.

Bluezoo is so much better than the others and a true date night restaurant with a very adult vibe.

Bluezoo is my favorite signature; Narcoosees is on the bottom. CG ranks somewhere in the middle.

Here's another one to toss in the ring...Jiko! Disney Food Blog's most recent review of Jiko a couple of weeks ago caused me to move our ADRs around to accommodate a meal there. It looks fantastic!

I can't speak to the new Cali Grill, but when we ate there a few years ago the food was just ok. View of wishes was spectacular. Narcoosee's was a let down. We have eaten at blue zoo twice and the food and service were excellent, but the atmosphere is just ok IMHO. Jiko is excellent! We just ate at Flying Fish a few weeks ago and it was fantastic! Hands down winner on our last trip - Monsieur Paul. Outstanding! The lobster appetizer was one of the best dishes I have ever had!

Jiko and Flying Fish are both excellent! Plus, both locations would allow for some pre or post-dinner strolling or sight seeing.

We are so excited about eating at Jiko!

I haven't eaten at Bluezoo (I'm not big on seafood, and for the money, I'd rather eat at Il Mulino and get a fantastic bottle of wine) ... but if you're looking for a truly unique dining experience, I'd really consider Jiko.

It's probably the one "top tier" Disney dining restaurant that I have enjoyed thoroughly every single time I've gone. The food, the atmosphere, the South African wines, the ambience of the Animal Kingdom Lodge - it's an unbeatable combo for me.

Eager to try the revamped California Grill next summer when we go, but Jiko will be on the list as well.

Narcoosees is our favorite date dinner
