What restaurant would you pick?

What would you pick for a nice sit down for a couple?

I voted twice, once for Jiko, once for Citrico's, because they are very different restaurants, and which you dine at will depend on your tastes.

I voted for Fultons. We've been there for dinner on each of our last 4 trips. It is my personal can't miss place. I've heard both good and bad reviews, but we've had 4 of the best dinners there that we've ever had. So hopefully my streak will continue when we go again in September.

Cinderella's Royal Table --- menu not appealing although eating in MY castle would be fun!
Fulton's Crab House -- delicious fresh seafood... best you will find in WDW or Central Florida
California Grill --- overrated in my book
Narcoossee's --- great food, great service, great view... why no votes?
Jiko --- weird food... doesn't do anything for me!
Citricos --- haven't had the desire to eat there...
Yachtsman Steakhouse --- outstanding steak, great service, nice atmosphere... my number one pick!

So my 1st choice would be the Yachtsman with Narcoosee's coming in a close 2nd!

I am equal on Yachtsman and Narcoosee's and Fulton's comes in next. We have had great food and service at all of them, just depends on what you feel like eating. The Yachtsman is primarily Steaks, Fultons is primarily fresh seafood and Narcoossees has both steak and seafood.

We will try Yachtsman next time - I am Veggie but I understand they have excellant options there for Veggies and Carnivores and every time we walk past it looks good! However, I have voted for Citricos because that is where we have enjoyed eating out of the list best.

Yachtsman was delicious! We went there for our anniversary last year. It was pricey.. $125+ for the two of us.. but we had salads, dessert, etc..

And actually, I guess thats not THAT pricey in WDW. lol

We have been to Citricos twice. The first time 2 years ago it was amazing! Our waiter told us there was a movement and that most of the long time waitstafft at California Grill moved to Citricos because they liked the management better. So last year we went back. We had the worst server EVER. Worse then the country buffet. Horrible!!! The table next to us got up and left. We overheard them talking about when is he going to take our order. They had been there since before we were seated and had not been offered drinks. I think they had bread but he kept walking by. When he noticed that they left he looked at us and rolled his eyes. I wanted to ask him why he was looking for empathy from us when we wanted to leave too. He was slow, rude, snotty, and he got 0 tip from us. I don't think I've ever left less then 12% on anything. But, It might be good again. The quality of a resturant can change from season to season.

Instead of not leaving a tip, which can be seen as an oversight, ask to speak to a manager... it is far more effective.

BTW, standard tips are now at 18%...

 

[herprettiness]

We actually did. It's a huge long story I didn't want to hijack this thread to explain something that happend last year. My point was just that just because someone had a terrible experiance one night, don't rule out going to that place.

We loved our meal at Cinderella's Royal Table. It was so much fun eating inside the castle and we were by the window so we saw Captain Hook and Peter Pan chasing each other outside. The service was fantastic. I had the beef tenderloin which was so good with vegetables. For dessert, I had Walt's Apple Bread Custard with maple walnut ice cream. Very good. My mom had the chocolate cake with caramel sauce. Very rich and very delicious.

I voted for Jiko, because I like the fact it's something just a little different.

For quality of food, setting and service I thought it was close between Jiko, Narcoosees and California Grill. The only other one mentioned I've eaten at (so far ) is Cinders and I thought that was inferior in all catagories by quite some margin.

Jiko is our favorite restaurant at WDW. It is a great place for couples to dine out.

:flower :

I picked Jiko but noting picking the Yachtsman was tough. But, if you can only go for one then Jiko would be it.

 

[DisneyJen0504]

Definitely California Grill~Dh and I got enagaged there during the fireworks and visited again for dinner on our honeymoon. We love the food, service and atmopshere and of course for us, it holds special memories.

 

[MrsJ Henry]

Thanks for all the posts. looks like Calif Grill and Jiko are the top runners!
