Hrmm... after seeing your list, it makes me realize that I need to start trying more places. I keep going back to CA Grill and Citricos. Anyway, out of those listed, I've only been to CA Grill...

For the first course, it would be a tie between the Yellowfin Tuna Three Ways and the Foie Gras.

Main Course: Oak-fired Filet of Beef (although the Halibut is pretty good too!)

Dessert: Valrhona Chocolate and Coffee (mmm... chocolate!)

YSH- Caesar Salad or creamed spinache, Prime rib (but with horseradish mashed potatos instead of the side that comes with it),no dessert (I fill up on the bread, butter & garlic)

CA Grill-Hearts of Romaine lettuce or triple cheese flatbread, filet, banana butterscotch buzz dessert

I have been to any other, but the next one that interests me is Jiko, and I would get the filet with mac & cheese.

I really can't comment on Narcoossee's since I haven't been there yet - but I will be going in just 18 days. Of the other four Jiko would be my first choice, then Artist Point, and then Cali Grill

At Jiko I like the Taste of Africa and usually the soup (it changes) for appetizers, the short ribs, the filet, and the pork for entrees. I haven't found a dessert I LOVE yet at Jiko. The African wine is good too.

At Artist Point I LOVE the Mushroom soup, crave it even. For an entree I enjoy the beef tenderloin and hubby enjoys the signature salmon. The cobbler (which is more like a muffin) is good for dessert - great homemade ice cream served with it.

We haven't been to Cali Grill in a while and have only been once. We are going back during our trip. I plan to try maybe the goat cheese ravioli or the heart of romane salad, the buffalo strip steak, the beef filet, or the pork tenderloin entrees, and the banana and butterscotch buzz for dessert.

Yachtsman Steakhouse - great lobster/surf and turf didnt get appy or dessert
Artist Point - salmon is wonderful and the berry cobbler was to die for
Narcoossee's -never ate here
California Grill - did not care for the food or the long long long dinner
Jiko - the bbq chicken flatbread, filet with mac and cheese and I dont remember dessert for some reason. This is a favorite of ours.

I would have to throw Flying Fish on this list. Great food and service for us every time.

California Grill - Pork Tenderloin w/ creamy polenta
Jiko - Braised lamb Shank
Artist Point - Cedar plank salmon

I am with Ron exactly on this!! And at Jiko and California Grill, any of the flatbreads makes a perfect appetizer.

Hmmmm.. this one is hard for me.. I have not done Narcoosee's in years, and I think maybe will try to revisit it my next visit..

I do love Artist Point, the food is good, service is good and the decor, I love the decor.

Jiko, I have liked it in the past, but our last visit, the food was not served temperature hot and our waiter just disappeared for long period of time so I cannot give them great food and service...

Yachtsman, we tried it our last visit and it was a disaster, food was not good, service was worse, and truly there are far better steak restaurants on property.. Shula's, LeCellier..

California Grill did not wow me.. I know it is meant to impress with the upscale menu and decor, but I thought the food was ok. I also thought our waiter was snippy for sure and we did take that into consideration at tip time, there were 8 of us and we all felt the same..

I've eaten at all more than once so mine, in order of preference (with my fav things I've had at each):

CA Grill-goat cheese ravioli, sushi, duck (no longer have it), pork tenderloin
JIKO-Taste of Africa, flatbread samplers, filet w/mac n cheese
Yachtsman-NY Steak
Artiste Pointe-cheese plate, scallops
Narcoosies-pear and endive salad, flounder

We don't normally do desserts. We split appetizers.

they had the best salad I have ever eaten in my life, lol:
Salad of Grilled Shrimp - Made with Tat Soi, Mizuna, crisp veggies, mint, peanuts, and Vietnamese vinaigrette. - $15.00
followed by the pork with polenta (OMG, to die for)
cheese plate for dessert

Narcoossees:
crab cakes are good, as is the cheese plate
whole lobster
almond crusted cheesecake (OMG, so good)

Artist Point
(didn't care for the mushroom soup it tasted like raw flour and dust to me, lol--and I LOVE mushrooms, go figure, must have been an off night, I have never tried it again though we have definitely been back to the restaurant)

once again, try the cheese plate or the spring rolls are good
the Potato-Chive Pot Stickers - Served with edamame, spinach, mizuna, and soy vinaigrette. - $21.00 are one of the best things served in all of WDW (for a light dinner, especially if you prefer eating vegetarian--this would not be a good entree choice for a big meat eater)
have yet to find a dessert here that was memorable....would probably have the berry cobbler again.

Jiko (yeah, I know, more than 3!)
Maize & Sweet Potato "Tamales" - Herbed maize pudding and truffled sweet potato mash with shredded goat cheese in corn husk boat. - $8.00
Tamarind-Braised Beef Short Ribs
cheese plate for dessert (we're just not huge sweet dessert eaters...)
