Which Signature Dining would you pick

[sanibellife]

Would you pick Be Our Guest, Citrico's or Narcoossee's?
This is for our MNSSHP night. I have Be Our Guest reserved but it will cut into our party hours but we do have park hoppers and can go early to the party but which would you spend 2 credits on?
We have never been to any of these restaurants for dinner

Our best night ever in the world was at Narcoosee
Perfect temperature, perfect table, great server, food was perfect. It was for our 25th anniversary.

We’ve never gone back. I know there is no way to ever top that night

Thanks Pumbaa!
I should have indicated we are a foodie family. We are family of 4 with a 16 year old and 21 year old.

Another vote for Narcoossee's. Our last meal there was error laden (the man's salmon was severely overcooked) but a sincere attempt was made to make it right and other meals we've had there were fine.

Is there any way you can do your signature dinner another night? Both Narcoossee’s & Citricos are great, but not places you want to rush thru. Plus, folks do tend to dress a little better at both of them, especially Citricos. If you plan on doing costumes or themed outfits for the party, I would stick with BOG.

I am not sure I would do any of these on a party night. I feel like any of them would cut into party hours.

I agree. Wouldn't want to be in a hurry for the party and festivities, would want to savor and enjoy a fine meal.

The other dinner reservations do not cut into MNSSHP time. That doesn't start until 7:00 and the other reservation times are around 5:00 5:30. BOG was the reservation that would cut into the party.
So it sounds like Narcoossee is a favorite! We don't dress up some clothing isn't an issue for us.
We are staying at Poly so it works fine for us!

 

[GeorgiaHoo]

Narcoossee’s. Food was much better than BOG, though I haven’t been to BOG since it went signature. The current BOG menu doesn’t look particularly appetizing to me

I've never been to Narcoosee's but have been to Citricos many times. It's always really good there, but I would like to try Narcoosee's.

It's hard to know what the best choice is. We need someone on here who has been to at least BOTH Citrico's and Narcoosees!!

So a couple of side notes / questions:
What does the park hopper have to do with getting into the party early? I am not sure if using a park hopper on the day you have a ticket for MNSSHP makes any difference. If you were planning a "non-park", you may want to consider using it on your MNSSHP day unless getting into another for 6 - 8 hours is worth a whole day ticket price to you. When we go to the parties, that is our "non-park" day as we would rather use our tickets for a whole-day park day instead of wasting the money on a half-day park day. Just a thought.

Did you know that with your MNSSHP ticket, you get to enter the park at 4:00 p.m.? So it doesn't matter if the party doesn't start until 7:00 p.m., you get to enter early. This also means you get to use your MNSSHP ticket to enter MK before you schedule reservations.

I would agree with @10CJ and @brertoad, I would consider going to these restaurants during non-party days. These are all good restaurants and restaurants that you don't want to rush and CMs don't rush you through either.

You didn't say whether you have children or not. I'm going to assume not, and this is an adult evening.

For my wife and I, there's one great choice, one good choice, and one ok choice.

Be Our Guest is merely ok. While it's a 2 credit signature restaurant, it's the cheapest restaurant with that designation at WDW. We pay out of pocket for this restaurant, and it's a good value. There is no way we'd use 2 dining credits on a $63 per person meal. The food we found to be good, but not spectacular. The room is nice, and meeting the Beast is something you should do at least once.

Citrico's is a real signature restaurant. It's relaxed. The wait staff is excellent. The food is quite good, with some unique choices. The room is blah and generic.

Narcoosee's is also a real signature restaurant. It's relaxed. The wait staff is excellent. The food is quite good. It has a lovely view of the water. When the fireworks are going off, you'll have a view of them. My wife and I dine there each year for the whole Maine lobster. To put it into perspective, I believe our last meal for two at Narcoossee's was about $100 per person, which is an outstanding value if you are using 2 credits the dining plan.

 

[NYCgrrl]

Just a heads up. BOG dinner is not considered a Signature meal by Disney which is a good thing. It is however a 2 TS credit meal just as HDDR and SoA are and maybe Storybook Dining too.

 

[SillySallySews]

Narcoossee’s! Citrico’s a close second, but if you and your children are real foodies I might lean more towards this one for you. BOG is a no for me. I’ve done all three meals here and wasn’t overly impressed with any, and to be honest I’m not that hard to impress lol. I haven’t been here since they changed it to a signature but I can’t imagine anything has changed enough to be worth two credits. Unless you really want to meet the Beast. As others have mentioned, you can enter MK with your party ticket at 4pm. I would probably choose a different day to enjoy a signature meal so I could maximize the value of my party ticket, but that’s just my personal opinion. You could probably have a nice early relaxed meal at any of these restaurants and still be at the party by 7.

Narcoossee's is our favorite restaurant in all of WDW. We go every visit. The food is delicious, service is outstanding, and we love the atmosphere.

 

[Accidental Magpie]

Citrico's by far! It is a thoughtful Mediterranian menu that thinks of a good flow from appetizer-salad/soup/main course/dessert. It is my #2 favorite after California Grill.

 

[Accidental Magpie]

Narcoossee's is very good, but if you have a non-seafood lover in your group their options are limited.

 

[sanibellife]

Thank so much to everyone for your reviews on the restaurants! We chose Narcoossee's! We will have plenty of time to eat and enjoy the party as well.

 

[10CJ]

I would fully expect to still be at dinner at 7 pm, even with a 5 pm reservation. If you are okay with that then go for it.
