Narcoosses or Jiko?

[DonaldsNo1Fan]

I know there have been other questions like this, but we have already been to Cali Grill twice, and want to try a new signature restaraunt this time. I am debating either Narcoossees or Jiko, I just can't decide. If anyone has a favorite or any reviews, it would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

Jiko is my second favorite signature dining establshment just after California Grill.

Being that you have been to the California Grill and Narcoosee's is in the same area with the same view, I would suggest Jiko for you. This way you will be in a completely different location. Although the food is wonderful in either place!!!

Jiko offers a very unique dining experience. I highly recommend it! I have dined there at least 15 times and enjoyed it every time.
The wine list is a lot of fun, the servers are wonderful and the food is really delicious! I love their flatbreads and the lamb patis; also the Tangine Chicken and also their Short Ribs. Ask for guidance on the wine, if you're drinking wine. The staff is extremely knowlegeable!
I like to recommend to people that they request to be seated at The Cooking Place, chat with some of the chefs and ask for their recommendations and enjoy! Jiko is a beautiful restaurant with great energy and delicious food!
Enjoy!

Years ago we loved Narcoossee's, then they changed chef's and it changed a lot. We stopped going.

We discovered JIKO about 2 years ago and love it. It's so tough not to go there when we are in WDW. It is a different dining experience but not too far off from some of the "norm" dishes, just really, really GOOD dishes. They still have my vote for the best filet ANYWHERE, the salmon is great but I still miss the monkfish. I get the tomato, cucumber and onion salad everytime as it is excellent as well! I highly recommend JIKO.

In all fairness, we actually returned to Narcoossee's this past July actually. Started hearing some positive things about it, so I thought it was time to go back and try it again. While we did have good service and great wine, I was not impressed with the food, at all. I got the salmon which cost more than it is at JIKO and it wasn't nearly as good...oh well. Looks like we won't be heading back there again anytime soon...so my vote is for JIKO!

We have done Narcoosees once, never went back. We dine at Jiko many times each year. Our vote goes to Jiko, it is fabulous.

I like Narcoosse's but adore Jiko.

We liked Narcoossees.

We LOVE Jiko's.

For us, Jiko's is second only to Victoria and Albert's in food quality, atmosphere, etc. We actually like it MUCH better than CG.
