Narcoosee's, CG or Citricos?

[MNSusan]

Which restaurant is best for enjoying a nice dinner and viewing the Magic Kingdom fireworks, Narcoosee's, Carlifornia Grill, or Citricos?

A CM told me Narcoosee's was best but then I read that its very noisy due to no carpet or tablecloths. Is that true? This would be a birthday dinner for my husband.

Many thanks

My recommendation is Narcoosee's. I have eaten at both California Grill and at Narcoosee's. And while it is true that you get a great view from the CG, I prefer the menu and atmosphere at Narcoosee's. If this is meal for just you and your husband, then I would double my vote for Narcoosee's, IMHO it is the most romantic of the 3 places you listed.

I hope your husband has a great b-day.

We've dined at all three a number of times. I would probably pick CG for a combination of great food and a great view of Wishes.

Now, I haven't viewed Wishes from Narcoossee's but my daughter and husband have. They think the view of Wishes is better from Narcoossee's than from CG (this is different from the old fireworks...Wishes is best with a central view IOO). Narcoossee's is probably my DD favorite restaurant in all of WDW. She loves the seafood there. How noisy it is depends on the patrons that night in our experience. It is not as large as the other two.

Citricos is certainly the most quiet but only a handful of the tables can see Wishes....most have a view only of the courtyard of the GF. But you could always time your meal before or after Wishes. For our next trip, this was only one of two requests my husband made...the other was for "the place on top"....that would be CG for DISers!

All three off very good food and usually Disney quality service. You have narrowed it down to three good spots!

Thanks for your input. We've never been on either GF property or the Contemporary, so that weighs into it a little, too. But mostly we're looking for a place where we can hear each other and relax a bit, and hopefully see the fireworks.
