Family ate at Narcoossee's for the first time last night and thought I'd post a quick review. We were on the regular dining plan so were charged two credits.
Filet and lobster tail - both daughter and I got this and both really enjoyed. The filets and lobster tail were both tasty. My mashed potatoes were a tad on the cold side but nothing that would ruin the meal.
Shrimp pasta - wife got this. I tried it and thought it was fine but nothing too amazing. For what its worth I had a better shrimp pasta a few weeks ago at an Italian restaurant in Stamford CT.
NY strip and lobster tail - son got this. Again, the lobster tail was good. The strip seemed to be a lower quality streak cut though and was pretty tough/grainy (cooked medium rare). Thought that was a bit disappointing.
Desserts - I had the cheese plate because not a huge fan of sweets. I thought a couple of the cheeses were fine and a couple not so good but I'm not a cheese aficionado so others might be better judges. It was a pretty large serving I thought. Wife had a lemon custard she liked and son had the chocolate bar/mousse, which he liked but was very rich. Instead of dessert daughter had a half serving of lobster bisque for an appetizer, which was also pretty good (on the dining plan you can get a half serving of the bisque or a half serving of a salad instead of a dessert).
Overall I'd probably give Narcoossee's a 7/10 on the dining plan. The service was good and the lobster/filet a decent deal even for two credits (and I thought those alone were a 9/10 probably). The NY strip though was disappointing and drags the score down some. I didn't find the bread service particularly good (Chefs de France is much better I thought) but my wife and kids liked it. Might give it a lower score if I'd paid the $400 out of pocket, especially in light of the NY strip my son had - for $75 I'd expect a very good steak and his was not.
