Which of these restaurants are the best....

[RamseyTrio]

...and why?

*Citricos
*Fulton's
*Yachtsman Steakhouse
*Narcoosses

we need to choose one last restaurant for our May 2003 vacation. Haven't eaten at any of these yet. We're a party of 4 adults and 2 kids (6yrs./1 year).

Thanks!

The only one of your list I have tried is Fultons. It is nothing that couldn't be experienced at any other Fultons. The crablegs were good, the wait staff was friendly, and it was kid friendly also (we had our five year old with us.) I would pick one that can only be experienced at WDW.

What's best for me, sure as shootin' ain't gonna best best for everyone else.

I'd go in this order:
Narcoosee's- like the view, like the location, love the food, love the wine, dislike the crowd and the potential for noise
Fulton's- great food that's just fun to eat
Citrico's- the food is interesting, the view can be stellar and they have a great sense of romance
Yachtsman- the food is above par, but they don't understand a "bleu" steak; need to give them another chance at some point

Give people more to go on as to your needs and wants and perhaps you'll get better responses.

As requested here's some other info to go on...

We want a place where the food is extra-tasty, kid friendly, nice ambience and just an overall good experience. We want to enjoy a nice meal of high quality - where the price meets the quality and the service is good. A place where you'd go again and recommend to others.

Thanks for all that responded so far...any others?

FULTONS IS GOOD BUT NOT TO END THE TRIP ON...GO TO SHULA'S IN THE DOLPHIN HOTEL- ITS ONE OF THE BEST IN THE COUNTRY- ITS NOT CHEAP AT ALL BUT ITS AN EXCELLENT DINNER

I would make a PS for Boma. The four restaurants that you mentioned may not suit the younger members of your party. Boma is a fantastic buffet with something for everyone. Plus, you won't have the pressure of trying to satisfy the children's needs at an expensive, more formal restaurant. Either before or after your meal, you can wander around the AKL, take the children to see the animals , and perhaps do a little shopping. Enjoy!

If the YSH is on your list why isn't Shula's. It's by far the best streak on property.

I'd probably pick Narcoossee's. The food , view and service are great. It's also the kind of place that I'd feel comfortable taking a one year old. If your baby gets restless, it's easy to make a quick exit to the grounds for a nice walk.

The food and service at Citrico's are excellent, too, but it's a much quieter restaurant.

We haven't been to Yachtsman's for a few years. We always enjoyed it, but the atmosphere doesn't compare to Citrico's or Narcoossee's in my opinion.

My husband has had service so bad at Fulton's on business trips that he refuses to return.

Well, it is kind of subjective. We have eaten at both Fultons and Narcoosees and really loved both places, but for different reasons.

Fultons has great steamed seafood, and we are particularly fond of the Crab Platter for 2.

Narcoosees has wonderful steaks and seafood, great service, and a wonderful view of the Seven Seas Lagoon and the MK.

Both are equally as expensive, but we feel they are worth it!

We love YSH but will be trying Shulas for the first time in Dec.

Is Shulas kid friendly?? thanks..amy

 

[Eeyore2U]

When we were there last there were families there. It's not cheap. You may want to check to see if they have a kids menu as the regular menu is a la carte.

RamseyTrio:
Of your 4 possibilities, I'd pick Narcoosee's. Fultons is OUT--service so pathetic there that I now don't even like walking BY the place--much less going in it!
Citrico's isn't especially kid oriented, and Narcoosee's has a livelier atmosphere and a better view.
YSH is nice, but it's mainly a Steakhouse-so if steak is mostly on your mind, it's a nice spot to go.
