Narcoosee's, Yachtsman or CA Grill?

[rblucy]

DH and I are planning a trip for Oct and are thinking of doing one nice dinner. Which is your favorite of the 2 credit restaurants, in particular what do you think of Narcoosee's, Yachtsman Steakhouse and California Grill? Any input would be appreciated! Thanks!

My favorite TS restaurant is Artist Point, but of these choices I would choose California Grill. The sushi, flatbreads, and other choices there are all really good, and there is a beautiful view of the Magic Kingdom and Seven Seas Lagoon.

Of the three you mentioned our choice (in order) would be:

1. Yachtsman
2. Narcoossees
3. California Grill

YSH is currently our favorite place on property. Just love the steak and service there.
Narcoossees is a really nice place to eat, with the opportunity to see the fireworks from the deck.
I believe that CG gets such high marks simply because people go there to see the fireworks, not because of the dining experience.

My order would probably be Narcoossee's, Yachtsman, and Cali Grill. I've been to all many times, and they each have their benefits and drawbacks. We like Narcoossee's because it's just the two of us, and we enjoy sitting at their bar with appetizers, etc. A bit more relaxed that way, and we don't have the stress of ADRs etc. That said, I've had great experiences at Yachtsman and Cali within the last year. Here are recent reviews I did of Narcoossee's and Yachtsman.

My order would be CG, YSH and then Narcoossees. In fact, Narcoossee's is next to last in my order of Signature restaurant preferences. Food there is so-so, service fair (at best).

That's a tough one as they are all great. I would choose the CG for the food, the views, and can I say again the views!

Went to all 3 last September. My order would be:

1. California Grill
2. Narcoosees
3. Yachtsman

I have been to California Grill 3 times over the past few years and have had consistently good food and service. Narcoosees had good food but the tables are closer together. Our experience at Yachtsman may have been tainted by poor service but the food was good.

If you are on the DDP or DxDDP, Narcoosees is a good deal if the surf and turf is what you want. We were on the Deluxe plan (so got an appetizer, entree and dessert - boy were we stuffed) and the meal with only one drink was $215. We did get the $59 surf and turf.

In terms of food, I really don't think you can go wrong with any of these.

My thoughts exactly except Narcoosees is my least favorite.

Cali Grill is awesome and feels more special than Yachtsman but the Yachtsman is delish too....Narcoossee's, well we liked the appies and dessert but not our entrees and it didnt feel as special as CG

California Grill. I always start with sushi and on of there great flatbreads. My favorite entree is there Pork Tenderloin with creamy polenta. CG is the only WDW restaurant that we eat at on every trip.

1. Calif. Grill
2. Narcoosee's
3. Yachtsman

California Grill is #1 on my list and #2 is not even close as far as the food in my opinion.

I have not been to Yachtsman, but of the remaining two, I prefer CG over Narcoossees, no question. I think the food is more inventive and the service better at CG.
