Narcoossee's or California Grill??

[SunnieRN]

Our traveling party includes a vegan, vegetarian and three meat lovers. Due to paying OOP for the Candlelight Processional, we will have an extra credit to do a signature dining experience.

California Grill is known for working with people with allergies, vegans, etc. Is Naarcoosee's also willing to work with people? There is a vegetarian dish on the menu, but might they do grilled veggies or some such if that isn't appealing?

Thank you so much, oh and we would like to eat at approx 6 pm. I know if you eat at CA grill you can return to watch the fireworks. Can we see the fireworks from the Grand Flo?

First, you really can't go wrong with either. Both are among our favorites year after year. That said I think I'd vear towards California Grill. While Narcoossee's could do some vegan/vegetarian options too I've found that CG has a larger menu in general and a more expansive menu so you'd automatically have more options. And yes you can watch Wishes from Narcoossee's too, though CG is the best in the world IMO.

I agree with kastoney, both of these restaurants are fantastic.
Narcoossees just edges it for us though, it's usually much quieter than the Cali Grill & the view for Wishes is hard to beat, ask for a table by the window when you check in or go out to the terrace.

We like both but CG is a must do for every trip and the view of the fireworks is better IMHO.

CG no question. We have had our best experiences there, while Narcoossee's just ok service, decent food and jerks standing in front of our table outside so you couldn't see fireworks. JMHO

CG is really phenomenal with their vegan offerings, plus the view is great any time of day. On the menu they have a vegan sushi roll which is by far the best sushi I've ever had. They also offer a mixed chef's choice vegan plate if you ask- they have a chef at each of their 4 stations make a different plate up so you end up with 4 tasting size plates and it is a ton of food. Last time I was there they also offered a vegan chocolate torte for dessert

Narcoossee's accommodated my husband's allergies. I'm sure they would do the same for vegans. For his meal, they substituted different seafood for the clams. The chef came to the table and talked to us after being seated. The meal was delicious. We also enjoyed watching the electrical water parade and the fireworks from the boat dock. It wasn't planned, but it was a pleasant surprise.
