Narcoosees or Artist Point?

[JadenLayne]

Which do you like best? Why?

Nothing wrong with Narcoosee's. But, AP is a superb restaurant at a beautifully-themed resort and the one I'd choose. Perhaps it's because AP was the first upscale TS we visited during our first trip. Perhaps it's because we love staying at VWL. Perhaps it's the cedar plank salmon or the exceptional buffalo filet. Perhaps it's the excellent wine list and available flight of wines. Perhaps it's the berry cobbler and French press coffee presented table side. Perhaps it's the outstanding service. Perhaps it's the Cubs' Den which allows us to enjoy dinner knowing our daughter is having much more fun in a safe environment. Or maybe it's all of the above.

Wow that sounds awesome. We are staying at Wilderness Lodge so it makes sense to choose Artist Point. Can I ask a silly question, is the salmon boneless?

 

[sleepydog25]

Not silly at all (I lived in Alaska for four years and have had salmon all sorts of ways, bones & no bones). Anyway, the cedar plank salmon is, indeed, boneless. They bring it to you on the cedar plank then plate it at the table. It is excellent. The classic companion wine is a pinot noir, and AP has a wine list primarily consisting of Northwest wines (as befits the lodge's theme). On that wine list are some topnotch Oregon pinot noirs to pair with the salmon. If you're unsure of what to order, the servers are well-versed and knowledgeable. I forgot to mention in my earlier post that the smoky portobello soup/bisque is heavenly.

We usually stay at VWL and make a habit of dining at AP since it is so convenient and rated by many as one of the top 5 restaurants anywhere on property at WDW. That being said, the Grand Floridian is close by and Narcoosee's, Citrico's, and V & A's usually get high marks, as well. Still, since you're at WL, why not take advantage of not having to drive or bus over to GF?

And after dinner, you can stroll the grounds of WL, watch the geyser, sit on the beach and watch the electric water pageant, or take a short walk down the nature trail. There is just something peaceful about that resort which is why we love it. If you have any more questions, fire away.

Thanks so much!!!!
We are going to call and get ADRs tomorrow. We always eat at Whispering Canyon just to take pictures at the Lodge but can't wait to stay here ourselves!

I have not eaten at Narcoosees, but have eaten at Artist Point and it one of my favorite restaurants at Disney.

Everything on the menu is Yummy!

Narcoossee is excellent. Artist Point is just that much better than excellent.

Artist point, better food and service.

I've eaten at both and prefer Artist Point. I love the salmon and berry cobbler. We've had good service there too, and Artist Point is quieter and more relaxing. Narcoossee's is good, but I prefer Artist Point. Narcoossee's had good food, but I've had better service, and it was noisy with the wood floors and ceiling.
