Signature Dining Reccomendations?

[vickalamode]

So when I'll be in WDW this June, our last day is only really a 1/2 day and we don't want to waste it at a TS restaurant, so on the last night we're there we want do to a signature dining one to use 2 credits.

I don't want to do HDD or anything, but I was thinking doing the Fantastmic dinner package or something at the Brown Derby, but I'm not convinced yet.

How's the dinner at CRT?

What are some other really special/nice places for signature dining?

What are the restaurants where you can see wishes and hear the music piped in? Are they signature? What time should our reservation be at if we choose to do those?

The best signature dining places are Artist Point, Jiko and Flying Fish...we were at two of the three last weekend and they were fantastic as always.

CRT definitely screams Disney Magic. If you are wanting to stay in the parks then that's a good option. There are so many you can't go wrong but Cali Grill is great food and view.

California Grill & Flying Fish are the only two we've been to and both were excellent!!

We give high marks to Artist Point and Yachtsman.

I had the best steak ever at the Yachtsman Steakhouse. It's also nice to be able to stroll around the Epcot resorts area after dinner. You can see some of the higher fireworks from Illuminations from the bridge between BC and BWI and there's always some kind of entertainment going on.

California Grill is the location if you want to see Wishes. However, be advised, that people with ADR's as early as 6:30 will often camp out at the tables until after Wishes, so timing your ADR's can get tricky. There is an observation deck outside that gives you great views of Wishes. If it were me, I would make a later ADR, watch Wishes from outside, and then as the entire restaurant empties out (and they will as soon as Wishes ends) you can have a leisurely dinner.

My husband and I like Citrico's and have always had good meals there.. We like to have Gwen as our server, she is just wonderful, so knowledgeable on food and wines, very attentive to her guests.

We ate at Artist Pointe in March and had great service and a terrific meal.. I would recommend both restaurants..

California Grill is good, I have eaten there but only once and have not had the urge to go back.

Also, not sure if you would consider this signature, but last trip in March we ate at Bistro de Paris and loved it. Food was good, service was good and the ambiance was just so French...

We have been to both Artist Point and Jiko. We enjoyed Artist Point, and may return there at some point. We have been to Jiko four times and every time has been excellent. (Five if you count the time we had chocolate martinis and dessert in the bar.)

Narcoossee's is fantastic if your in the lobster and filet mignon mood. Their food and service was excellent. So excellent we are making an ADR for here on our next trip. We saw Wishes from the verandah outside and I must say the view there is worth the trip alone.

Jiko and CG. Yum.

We like the Flying Fish and the Cali Grill...
I don't believe the Bistro in France accepts the dining plan. We love the Brown Derby, although it's not quite up to the FF or CG.

We weren't impressed with Citricos or Narcoossee's, although we haven't been to Citricos in years so it may have improved.

Regardless, I'm sure you'll do well!

Narcoosse's was really enjoyable on our trip last year. We had a table next to the window but still chose th go on patio to watch the fireworks at MK. Food was very good. Although my Dh still prefers the Yachtsmen steakhouse for the food.(LobsterBisque especially) So this years trip we do our first week off property and I had to make ressie for the Yachtsmen again.

Thanks for the great suggestions everyone! We decided on Narcoossee's and I scheduled our reservation for a time so that we'll be able to catch both the Electrical Water parade AND get a glimpse of the Wishes fireworks
