I have to be the lone dissenting voice (sort of). We love both restaurants, and have been to both numerous times - Narcoossee's more often than Citricos.
While I agree that the food at Citricos tends to be better overall, and more consistently so, Narcoossee's has a larger menu, and it seems to change more frequently than Citricos. We often get several appetizers, and just one entree for two of us, and therefore we like the choices offered at Narcoossee's better. We have had a few misses (especially the surf and turf, I don't recommend it), but for the most part, we love it.
The view of the Electrical Water Pageant and Wishes add to our enjoyment of Narcoossee's, if you are able to get a reservation for that time.
Last year we did Narcoossees and had a terrible experience. We were seated by the bar with no view of the fireworks, about as unromantic as you could get for an anniv. We are in no hurry to go back there.
If you want to add the fireworks in at the right time, I might consider it. Food wise and server wise it was a big letdown for us.
Citricos is the most pretentious restaurant we ate at and not because the food was spectacular (which it wasn't). Never going back. I'd pick Narcoosee's every time.
I guess I am the lone ranger here, but I prefer Narcoossee's. Don't get me wrong, Citricos is actually very good, but the menu is not very exciting to me. I do not think that you could go wrong with either one.

I have to say this is my opinion as well. I've been to both places many times, and I prefer Narcoossees. It's just a personal preference though--I really love lobster, prefer the view and theme, etc.
Oh no, I just booked Narcoossees for our Aug trip! We don't eat fish and aren't real adventurous eaters so we thought Narcoossees was the safer choice for us. Was I wrong?
We've been to both and definitely prefer Citricos. The menu selections are more imaginative and better prepared. We go to Maine fairly often for delicious, fresh seafood so we have not been impressed with Narcoosee's offerings.
I tend to prefer the food at Narcoossees, but the service is much much better at Citricos. For atmosphere, I have to give the edge to Citricos as well.
