Narcoossee's VS. Blue Zoo

[SeeJackRunn]

Which would you choose for a nice romantic birthday dinner?

One thing about Disney, is they have a great ability to command a price for quality that doesn't match. Not saying food is bad on property, but the price is a little disconnected, and this is coming from someone who eats on property often.

I'd highly consider Blue Zoo.

Without a doubt.... Bluezoo
-Not on the DDP so there are usually less small children there, especially at night, we love sitting at the bar or dining at Bluezoo when the kids are with a sitter
- Outstanding food!

We love Narcoosses too but this to us is a nice 'family' signature restaurant. We will be bringing our children there for dinner in August-an earlier reservation of course

We do agree that there is a big disconnect between WDW prices and quality of food (we also visit often so we notice it).

We ate at Blue Zoo for the first time about a week ago and it was fantastic. The best meal of our two week (many signature restaurant) trip. Two of our party did not care for seafood (me being one) and still found it to be a top notch restaurant.

Bluezoo - fabulous creative food in a more adult setting.

Narcoossee's food doesn't even compare ... not even close.

 

[Pakey]

bluezoo = upscale, great food

Narcoosees = on par with Red Lobster. Nice views out the windows, average food.

Blue Zoo.

 

[MickeyNicki]

BlueZoo!

BlueZoo, hands down.

BlueZoo has always been wonderful for us; service, atmosphere, food. It's been our running fave since it opened. It's a big bonus to us that it's NOT on the DDP. Food quality is still great & it has a nice adult atomosphere.

Narcoossees was the worst meal of our last trip. I don't know how you can kill a steamed lobster that badly, but they managed it. I did have a decent meal there once years ago, but either it was a fluke or it has gone downhill. Red Lobster is an accurate description of our last meal there.

Looks like Todd English's bluezoo™ is running away with the vote.

I agree with most of the reasons. "Adult and upscale setting" pretty much sums it up for me.

Wow! Just had my birthday at Narcoossees last week and it was wonderful, and I HATE Red Lobster! Have not dined at Bluezoo so I cannot compare the two, but I will dine at Narcoossees again. I had the Artisanal Cheeses (Humboldt Fog, Cashel Irish Blue, and Tete De Moine), the Cajun-spiced Florida Tripletail, with Maytag Grits, Haricots Verts, and Mango Barbeque Glaze, and a Bittersweet Chocolate Mousse.

Restaurant was quiet and it was a nice viewing of Wishes. They presented me with a personalized keepsake menu and actually knew how to prepare a proper lime daiquiri (unlike the mixmaster at WL who said she usually used lime flavored vodka but could use rum).

We like both, but Blue Zoo gets our nod and here's why:

This is our appetizer, seafood with several sauces:

This is my fish with lobster and crab sauce:

I can't wait to go back on our upcoming trip. DH asked me to be sure to get a reservation here.

What type clothing is appropriate for Blue Zoo in the evening?

How does Blue Zoo compare with Shula's?

How does Blue Zoo compare with Shula's?

Shula's is very nice and has good steaks, but it is very much a guy's place. Dark wood, football photos all over - a real man's steak house. Blue Zoo is lovely, more sophisticated and wonderful food and service.

What type clothing is appropriate for Blue Zoo in the evening?
Today 03:23 PM

We wore slacks and blouses, and the guys wore polo shirts and short sleeved, collared shirts. The same you would wear to Cal Grill or somewhere like that.

I have never been to blue zoo but Narcoossees is my fav. restaurant on property....and I hate red lobster...Narcoossees is way better than red lobster. almond crusted cheesecake and filet = YUM!

 

[jlewisinsyr]

I've never heard the comparison of Narcoosees to Red Lobster before, but that is a really great comparison, except Red Lobster has delicous rolls.

Add me to the Blue Zoo camp!! As for what you need to wear, same as all the other Signature restaurants--no swimsuits, no torn cloths, no tank tops on men, no t-shirts with offensive logo.
