What's better: Citricos or Narcoossees?

[_queenie_]

Haven't been to either one in a while, what's your choice?

Food was good at both...we thought Citrico's had a better and more exciting menu. Also, the atmosphere at Citrico's was more cozy and elegant.

I was pretty surprised that Narcoosee's didn't even have tablecloths...wasn't too impressed with the ambiance there.

I give Narcoossee's the slight edge, but both places are very good.

I've only been to Citricos, but will be dining at both restaurants during my next trip.

Citricos had very good food, but a dissapointing dessert and mediocre service.

I've only been to Narcoossee's

Food was great, and if you like being down on the water and seeing the fireworks (and even a tiny sliver of the light parade) go Narcoossees

I didn't pick Citricos because I was worried it would be a small cramped room. Also Worried same thing about 1900 Park Fair.... I like lots of windows.

On next trip I'm going to try 1900 Park Fair, but picking California Grill over Citricos again probablly because of the view?

Narcoossee's is great. Try to time it during the water parade and for the fireworks. We are trying Citrico's this next trip.

having been to both, I say Citrico's hand's down. Huge difference in food quality and, in our case, service. Atmosphere wise, they are very different, but both lovely.

Either way, you will enjoy yourself, but IMO, Citrico's is clearly the better choice.

On our trip in September my Mom, Sister & I are choosing a girl's night and we were thinking Narcoosee's. We were basing this on reading the menus. I'd love to hear more about each of these places!

What is great at Citricos?

Does Narcoosee's really not have tablecloths?


Please fill me in! Thanks!

I didn't pick Citricos because I was worried it would be a small cramped room.

I dined at Citricos last August and found the space to be anything but cramped. There was a fair amount of space between tables where we were seated (at least 3-4 feet between tables it seemed) and we were near plenty of windows.

I've never eaten at Narcoossees so I can't compare the two restaurants, but my friend and I really enjoyed our meals at Citricos. The food was excellent, the atmosphere was relaxed and the service, while not the best we experienced while on property, was still pretty decent. We both agreed we'd gladly eat there again, and it may have been our favorite meal of the week which is high praise considering we ate at a lot of great places during our trip (Artist Point, Brown Derby, Flying Fish...)

No tablecloths for us the last time at Narcoosees. And it was so noisy, we could hear the people at the next table to us and had to listen to their conversations and there were several groups with some pretty noisy kids in there too. We had not experienced that on our previous visits and were extremely disappointed as we had taken another couple and raved prior to going and then had to eat crow.

Citricos does a nice wine pairing option with a 3 course price fixe which is fun.

Citricos is by far the better restaurant. The service is the best in WDW outside Victoria & Albert's; and the menu is creative and well-prepared.

Thanks for the info. Is there a nice view at Citricos can you see the lake? I think it was 1900 Park Fair that I peeked into on the way to Narcoossees and it looked like a cramped convention room with no windows. So I was glad I picked Narcoossees for the view.

I had the Steak and Lobster, and it was so nice the way they brought the meal out timed for the fireworks show and music.

So what's the winner for food? Citricos?

 

[Uncleromulus]

I think so!
Markstudy: Except for maybe a few tables, Citricos isn't really a "view" restaurant.

Here's a review I did of our dinner last month:

Thanks, it's really not the atmosphere I'm concerned about.

I just looked at my pictures from narcoossee from October. We definitely had dark blue tablecloths on the table. I haven' been to citricos, but I liked narcoossee. We had sort of bad service, but I think we were sat far outside of our servers section. We were fine though, nothing that would keep us from going back. I didn't find it that loud, but we went a little later at night. It was nice to sit by the water. We saw the water parade, but no music for it, which seed a little weird to me. The turned down the lights and eventually piped in the music, but it wasn't the best view from our table. It was a lovely experience for us overall though.
