From the moment we checked in to Narcoossee's with our reservation until when we left, we were treated so warmly and with that Disney magic we all crave when in the bubble of the World. The restaurant itself is charming, coastal, but not stuffy. The sweeping view of the lake and Magic Kingdom is dreamy. Time your dinner reservation so dessert is around the time of the fireworks for an even more magical experience. You can step outside where they pipe in the music. The view is dreamy. Our server, Marselle, was excellent. She was so friendly and made our meal even more special. She provided such excellent recommendations, I think we went with them all. I started off with the sangria. It was so refreshing. We ordered the seafood charcuterie which was so unique that I'll claim it as a must do. We enjoyed the freshly baked bread with it. All three items in the charcuterie were delicious! My main course was the Gulf shrimp bucatini. It was a more-than-ample serving of perfectly cooked pasta, a delicious sauce, and fresh large shrimp. I've had this dish at several restaurants, and this dish was a star at Narcoossee's. After watching the Happily Ever After fireworks, we capped our fabulous meal with the must have almond cheesecake. It's SO good. The cake is decadent and surrounded by chocolate coral. Save some room for this dessert! Marselle and other staff made my birthday dinner super special. I think I have a new favorite restaurant at Walt Disney World!
Narcoossee's was the dinner highlight of our stay at the Grand Floridian. We started with the Buttermilk-fried Calamari -- absolutely delicious. What caught us off guard (in the best way) were the pickled vegetables served alongside it. Not mentioned on the menu, but completely underrated. A thoughtful touch that elevated the whole dish. Next up, the Lobster Bisque. Rich, deeply flavored, and beautifully presented. They drop a roughly 2-inch puck of ground lobster tail right in the center of the bowl that slowly melts into the soup as you eat. Really impressive. The sourdough bread that accompanied our meal was a little thick and overdone on the crust for my taste, but the salted butter was genuinely good and made up for it. For our mains, we both went with the Gulf Shrimp Bucatini and couldn't have been happier. Pasta cooked perfectly, sauce was rich and cohesive, and the shrimp were done just right. My only suggestion to the kitchen would be add a heat option as a a little spice would take this from great to an easy 5/5 on its own. On the cocktail front I would suggest the espresso martini, skip the key lime martini. The latter is overly sweet and has a thick, almost syrupy texture that wasn't for me. The espresso martini was wonderful though. The ambience is hard to beat with waterfront views, warm lighting and of course that classic Grand Floridian elegance!
We had an incredible dining experience at Narcoossee's during our most recent trip to Orlando. After spending the evening doing the monorail loop, this was our final stop--and it was the perfect way to end the night. Upon arrival, we were warmly greeted by the hostess and checked in. Since dinner service had just begun, we waited about 15 minutes before being seated. Once at our table, our Cast Member welcomed us and took our drink orders, followed by the bread service, which was outstanding. The warm, soft-yet-crusty sourdough paired beautifully with the butter topped with toasted Himalayan sea salt. For cocktails, I ordered the espresso martini while my wife enjoyed the Grand Margarita. Both were expertly crafted and delicious. For our entrées, we chose the surf and turf--although I jokingly turned mine into a "surf and surf" because I couldn't resist doubling up on the butter-poached lobster! My wife's filet mignon was cooked to a perfect medium-rare, and the lobster tails were absolutely phenomenal--tender, rich, and practically melted in your mouth. The accompanying sides were equally enjoyable. The aged Gouda scalloped potatoes offered a unique twist on a classic dish, while the smoky cauliflower added great flavor and balance to the meal. To finish, we shared the restaurant's famous almond-crusted cheesecake, and it absolutely lived up to the hype. It was the perfect ending to an already fantastic meal. From the service to the food and atmosphere, everything was exceptional. We'll definitely be back on our next visit!
Overall, the food is pretty good and well thought out. They did make my brisket and ricotta tortellini undercooked but they rectified that. The food is on the expensive side because of the quality of ingredients and elevated flavor profiles. I definitely say it is your money's worth. We ordered a bottle of Prosecco and I liked it. I didn't think it was amazing so I went to look up the price online if I were to buy it. We paid $100 in the restaurant, but I found it for $10 online. That was a little off putting at least give me a $40 bottle of Prosecco for your up charge to $100. Our server was nice but not the high-end server I would've preferred when our bill is like $600. We ordered a lot of food and drinks for our table. She wasn't extremely attendant or quick. When we go to expensive restaurants, the server caliber tends to be overcompensating. Like I said she was nice. The chef did come out to speak with us. Very nice man. Overall, I would return to this restaurant, I just might skip the bottle of Prosecco lol.
Narcoossee's is a waterfront signature dining restaurant located at Disney's Grand Floridian Resort & Spa, offering a seafood-focused menu with one of the best views in Walt Disney World. We walked into a space with a relaxed but upscale atmosphere, with large windows and waterfront seating overlooking the Seven Seas Lagoon. The design is elegant without being overly formal, and the open views of the water immediately set the tone for a more refined dining experience. The biggest appeal is the combination of elevated dining, lake views, and the ability to watch the Magic Kingdom fireworks from the restaurant area, making it feel like more than just a meal. The menu focuses heavily on seafood and premium entrées, with dishes like lobster bisque, surf and turf, pork chop, shrimp and grits, and fresh seafood options. We started with the lobster bisque, one of the standout starters, and found it rich and creamy with noticeable pieces of lobster throughout that gave it a more substantial texture than typical bisques. The surf and turf was another highlight, pairing a well-prepared steak with butter-poached lobster for a classic upscale combination that felt well balanced. The steak was cooked to a proper medium rare, and the lobster had a tender, delicate texture that held up against the richness of the beef. The sides also contributed to the meal, especially the creamy mashed potatoes and seasonal vegetables, which were well seasoned and complemented the main dishes without overshadowing them. Dessert was another memorable part of the experience, especially the almond-crusted cheesecake with mascarpone. It has become one of the restaurant's signature items because of its unique texture and flavor compared to a traditional cheesecake. The crust added a nutty crunch that contrasted nicely with the smooth, creamy filling, and the mascarpone gave it a lighter richness that kept the dessert from feeling too heavy. It was a great way to finish the meal, especially when shared after a larger dinner. The service is one of Narcoossee's strongest points. The staff created a more personalized dining experience, and the pacing felt more attentive compared to many busy Disney restaurants. Our server was knowledgeable about the menu and offered thoughtful wine pairings that complemented the seafood dishes well. The team checked in at the right moments and allowed us to enjoy the meal without feeling rushed. Reservations are highly recommended, and timing your dinner around the fireworks can make a major difference. We booked a later reservation and were able to enjoy the meal while also getting a view of the nighttime show over the lagoon, which added a memorable layer to the evening. The main thing to consider is the price. Narcoossee's is one of Disney's more expensive dining experiences, so it works best when you are looking for a special occasion meal rather than a casual dinner. The quality of ingredients, service, and setting help justify the cost, but it is still a premium experience that requires planning. The seafood is fresh, the preparations are refined, and the views are unmatched, making it a choice worth saving for a celebration or a night when you want something more elevated. Narcoossee's is one of the stronger signature dining options at Walt Disney World. The combination of seafood, attentive service, waterfront atmosphere, and fireworks views makes it feel like more than just a restaurant visit. It is a place worth planning around, especially for a special dinner during a Disney trip, offering a meal that feels both celebratory and thoughtfully composed from start to finish.
Been a long time so I thought I should update my review. Sat at the bar. Kay was awesome! Lots of great suggestions and accommodations for what we wanted. Had the lobster bisque. Really good. Rich and delicious. The mushroom risotto was intense. Great mushroom flavors and cooked perfectly. Finally we wanted some scallops so we were able to get a side of those...really well done. Delicious. A very nice night at the bar. Staff were amazing.
This is one of our favorite restaurants at Disney. It has amazing food, service and the best fireworks views around. We always start with cocktails because they are always made with care. We had a dietary restrictions in our group and chef Joe was incredible! He ensured we wouldn't have any issues and visited us multiple times. Maura was a fantastic server and even gave us a special treat since we were celebrating anniversaries. If you've never been you need to put this on your list for the next trip.
After YEARS of wanting to try this spot, we did! And we were not disappointed in the least. This spot was fantastic. The staff was amazing and hardworking! The bread and butter were delicious and our meals were even better. You can't go wrong here with what you order, but the blackened redfish stole the show! Absolutely delicious. I recommend making your reservation an hour-ish before the fireworks. Such beautiful views from this spot. I think it's my new favorite fireworks view on property!
Excellent restaurant on the monorail at Disney's Grand Floridian hotel. Exceptional service.
Edwin thank you so much for making my birthday dinner a wonderful experience. The recommendations you gave were spot on. We had the calamari which was the star dish. My daughter who doesn't like eating asked for more. That surprised me. The lobster bisque was also super delicious. Very fragrant. I was not a fan of the romaine salad as it had way too much dressing, but the presentation was still beautiful. He also made sure the kid meals were brought out as soon as possible. Their dishes were very tasty and the fruit bowl had the best fruit we've had on Disney property to date. We had strawberries and grapes. Both fruit were surprisingly missing from all the other Disney restaurants we had eaten at. I was so full I couldn't even finish my shrimp and bucatini. My mom had the scallops and she said it was the best meal she's had on our vacation as well. Last the dessert was over the top gorgeous. The lace design on the key lime pie was remarkable. I couldn't believe how pretty and delicious the raspberry sorbet was. There was jello and whale gummy in that dessert. The Nemo cup was also so cute except the cupcake has vanilla custard in the middle which my kids don't like. But fyi get it if your kids would prefer that over gelato on top of jello. I would definitely come back and even stay on site at the property ! Service was impeccable. Everyone was friendly and the outside patio has a nice view of the lagoon. If you go at the right time you can watch the fireworks if you so choose :)
Wow! This might be our new FAVORITE at Disney World. 1. Like everything else at the Grand Floridian, it is beautiful with a lovely view. 2. The service was good. The chef was sweet to come to our table. My husband informed him that he believed his filet mignon was the best he's had on property. 3. The Lobster Bisque was not only presented beautifully, it was delicious. There was plenty of lobster in it. 4. Even the bread was perfectly flaky. 5. I think the calamari is a must appetizer, the pickled vegetables with it off a lot of flavor. 6. Many employees told me that the shrimp bucatini was their favorite. The noodles are made in house and the sauce was fresh. They did not give a bad recommendation at all, I loved it and am still dreaming about it. Con: The server handed my daughter the menu and told her to pick out her birthday dessert. The dessert was added to our tab. (I do not expect a hand out, but this was not something we asked for or were informed of)
Excellent food and service. We were seating by a window so had a lovely view. Our server brought out chocolates for our anniversary. It was a wonderful anniversary dinner.
We love Narcoossee's, however, they changed the menu and was disappointed by them removing the new york strip and changing the pork chop dish. Still delicious but preferred the other. Also got the salmon dish which I will get next time. You can still get just the filet from the surf & turf but my husband liked the strip. Staff is always welcoming and polite and the ambiance is always delightful.
From exceptional service to quality dining and a priceless view of Happily Ever After fireworks, this restaurant has quickly captured our hearts! Huge shoutout to Mario-both times he has gone out of his way to make our night so magical. He showed us where to watch the Electric Water Parade while we waited on a table and he let us sit and watch the fireworks with a perfect view. I'm still smiling 4 hours later. And as we observed, it wasn't just us. He stopped by so many tables to check on the guests. He's part of the reason why we love it here. They go above and beyond to ensure you have the perfect evening. Now on to the food! Brisket and Ricotta Tortelloni Parsnip, Brown Butter, Sultana Raisins The description may have you looking slightly confused, like how does raisins go with brown butter and what is the brisket doing in there.....but trust the process. It works beautifully! The tortelloni tasted like homemade pasta. Perfectly al dente. The brisket and ricotta were savory and paired nicely with the parsnip and subtle sweetness from the raisins. The brown butter brought it all together. It wasn't overly sweet or rich, it was just right, and the perfect size for an appetizer. Lobster Bisque Butter-poached Lobster, Vanilla, Coral Poured table-side, it's a beautiful dish. It's creamy and luscious. There is a decent portion of lobster meat with the slightest hint of vanilla. The consistency is silky. Not too thick or thin. Take the sourdough bread and leave nothing behind. Surf & Turf Filet Mignon, Butter-poached Lobster Tail, Chive Mashed Potatoes, Confit Carrot and Cipollini Onion, Red Onion Jam, Au Poivre Filet was perfectly seared, seasoned, tender, and cooked to my preference. The butter poached lobster is tender. Not overcooked or chewy. The chive mashed potatoes are creamy and cut the richness of the filet, while the Cipollini onion and red onion jam balance with a slight sweetness. And those confit carrots are so good. I could eat a bowl of them. Chefs kiss. Perfect from the first to last bite. Almond-crusted Cheesecake Lambert Cherry Sauce, Chantilly This is what they're known for and it's a pretty dish. The cheesecake is creamy and dense. The cherries were my favorite as they added some pop and tartness to the cheesecake. I wasn't a huge fan of the almonds, but that's more of a texture thing and a "me" problem. I'd prefer a graham cracker crust. Overall it was a good dessert. We will never go to Disney and not make this a top priority for dining. My husband and I always leave with bellies full of high quality food, smiles on our faces, and happy hearts. read more

Narcoossee's -- 4/5 This is a very, very hard reservation to get, but it's worth trying! The food is really good -- we especially loved the scallops and gnocchi. The best part is definitely the location because it's such a great spot to watch the fireworks. read more
Another great signature dining option on Disney property! The coastal ambiance inside is classy and fun, the dining room feels smaller and intimate, and the views of Magic Kingdom (and the fireworks, if you time your dinner right) can't be beat! The service was awesome - from being welcomed, to our lovely server, to the server who delivered our lobster bisque with a fun monologue - definitely a great example of Disney service. I started with a key lime pie martini, and it was very well balanced and not too sweet despite its name! I'd definitely order again. The fresh bread service was a great way to start the meal, and we picked some delicious apps. The calamari was a win for my boyfriend, and the shrimp and grits was really awesome - I'm not a grits gal by nature, but the flavors here were really excellent. We also shared a lobster bisque, and it was the perfect flavor profile. I went with the surf and turf, which was exactly what I wanted it to be (it is a splurge!). The steak was great - I stand by that there are plenty of great steaks that are not at any of the steakhouses on property. The gulf shrimp pasta tasted like true homemade pasta and was also awesome! No notes, truly. The almond crusted cheesecake stole the show for dessert, but the key lime pie was great too. An awesome meal all around! read more

More than it's food, Narcoossee's offers a great atmosphere, with a chance to see the Magic Kingdom fireworks (including the show's audio that they pipe in over the speakers) from across the water if you time your reservation right. The food, while good, is nothing spectacular. The scallops with gnocchi were creamy and delicious, but I can't say the same for the lobster bisque which tasted mealy and lacked some flavor. The blackened redfish was tasty, but nothing unique. Bottom line: come for the fireworks, the food is just a side perk of this waterside restaurant. read more

Grand Floridian Resort-WOWZA!!! This place was absolutely delicious! From the tasty cocktails to the absolutely hilarious presentation of the lobster bisque! I would definitely eat here over and over again. We came in very late and without a reservation. They didn't even bat an eye, and seated us almost immediately. My husband was at a conference and I hadn't eaten all day, so we were starving. We started off with the brisket & ricotta tortellini appetizer. Oh my goodness, it was absolutely divine. I had the lobster bisque along with a Caesar salad and both were a hit. My husband had the milk brined pork chop and said it melted in his mouth. The best part about the evening you ask? The waiter brought our lobster bisque and did the most comical presentation I've ever seen! So fun and very memorable. We will be back for sure. read more

Try timing it so you can see the fireworks from magic kingdom. We've gone here a couple of times usually sitting at the bar. I've had a lot of items on the menu but the items that are on repeat are: espresso martini with salted mascarpone-wow, lobster bisque, surf and turf and almond cheesecake. Absolutely love the almond cheesecake so much I usually will buy one to eat there and one to go to eat the following day. The red fish is very good as well. The heart of Palms salad is light and refreshing. The expresso martini with mascarpone on the top is unlike anything I've tasted. It's different levels of texture and taste that somehow mingles together quite well. The service at the bar is always attentive and of course the ambiance of being on Disney property with opportunity to watch the fireworks during your meal says it all. read more
One of our favorite restaurants on property! The views alone ...you should book a reservation. If you're lucky enough I highly suggest booking during the magic kingdom fireworks. You can watch fireworks from their porch if you're done eating or before you eat and even better right from your table. As you enter you get your standard disney restaurant experience, everyone kindly greets you as you check in, your wait is not that long from there. The service is amazing here. The servers are always on their A game, before you can even ask for something they are already on it. The food. Omg the food. INCREDIBLE. My favorite salad ever is here. Prosciutto e melon salad. Their twist on it is unique, flavorful, and exquisite. The basil infused melon and the crisp prosciutto was unexpected but absolutely phenomenal. If you're not a seafood lover, don't worry because there are options. Even if you order the surf and turf, you have the option to eliminate either and double double it or single it. The filet was cooked to perfection! So I highly recommend it. The dessert...y'all you have to get at least one dessert!! They come out like pieces of art and the taste is just as amazing! I recommend the almond cheesecake...it was soooo good. I'd bring home 10 of them if it wasn't so delicate. read more

Looking for a place to spend an evening having a romantic cozy dinner? Look no further! Narcoossee's should be your next stop to cozy on up in a half booth, enjoyed delicious food & drink, and watch Magic Kingdom's fireworks! You know the place is going to be amazing when they serve you a WHOLE loaf of sourdough bread with butter. The plating of each item was beautiful, we almost didn't want to dig in! For my meal, I opted for the tortellini and salad, while my husband chowed down on the steak! We then shared the almond crusted cheesecake and may have shed a tear when it came to our last bite. Between the service and the ambience, you can't pick a better restaurant to dine at!

Beautiful restaurant in the Grand Floridian resort in Disneyworld. Reservations required to dine here. Service was good and the food was delicious. Blackened fish was amazing and the surf and turf was to die for. The lobster tail was buttery and melted in my mouth. Steak was cooked to perfection. Bartender most def knows how to make a good drink! I had the key lime pie martini and it was worth putting your pinky up! This place came highly recommended and it did not disappoint! read more
Ooooooweeeee this place is great for seafood fiends like me but be prepared to spend a pretty penny aka a couple hundo! The drinks alone in Disney are beyond overpriced esp when you know they use a jigger to meticulously pour to the ounce, it's not a free hand. But then again my pal said 'if we were in nyc this would be the same' and he's kinda right. Anyway we went for the seafood plateau and I even tho it's $139, we were eating the leftovers on multiple occasions. We added on the shrimp and grits and the calamari app and I wish we didn't so that we could have focused on the chilled platter. I did not know shrimp that size existed, it was a near lobster tail! I'm talking 4-5 bites to finish it. The cold mussels were unlike anything I've tasted and were delightful but for me it was the poke tuna that was beyond belief. I lucked out bc pal doesn't do raw and I was able to inhale it myself. The espresso martini was a win and I highly recommend if you like coffee libations. I miss this place already and oh it's the perfect spot to catch the magic kingdom fireworks but I hope you don't get a bunch of drunk middle aged women signing off key and way too loud next to you on the porch bc that almost ruined the magic. It also startled me so much I spilt my gimlet on me so those biddies owe me $5.50 in what I spilt of my $14 drink read more
If I could give this place 20 stars I would. If you are in the Walt Disney World area, you need to book a reservation here now! Everything about Narcoossee's was perfect. From our server who was just the greatest guy keeping us laughing and vibing, to the ambiance of the entire restaurant, to the fireworks show that can be seen on the balcony, to the amazing drinks and mouthwatering food?! What more could you want?! I'm back home and I'm still thinking about this place. Highly recommend the Salted Mascarpone Espresso Martini - best espresso I have had. Period. Since the restaurant is mostly seafood and I don't eat seafood, I HIGHLY recommend the New York Strip Steak. I had the first bite and I thought I was levitating off of the ground. I'm so serious. The steak was just perfection and every bite just melted in your mouth. I am not kidding. The veggies and potatoes were the perfect accompaniment. For the seafood dishes my two friends ordered, they absolutely loved their food! I've said enough! Go ahead and make that reservation whether it's for a celebration, date night, or you just want a nice dinner with firework views. read more

Stayed at a Disney hotel and ate at Narcoossee's at the Grand Floridian resort. Nice view of the Seven Seas Lagoon from our window. A huge basket of delicious bread and butter arrived. As a party of three we ordered the colossal shrimp. There was one shrimp for each. Large and of course yummy. Plancha seared scallops and Parisian gnocchi was ordered by wifey. Looked great and was enjoyed. Adult child had the prime New York strip steak which was substituted with a fillet Mignon. The server told us about the substitution. Worked out better for us. Another perfect meal. Korean bbq glazed salmon for me. Beautiful and tasty. Good food is never wasted. Great server and cocktails made for a nice evening dinner. read more
Sergio made our experience here so special! We did a walk up and sat at the bar. I think people forget that there is a bar here! You can just do drinks or you can order anything off the full menu. We got dinner and it totally exceeded our expectations. The fresh bread they give you is out of this world! And the salted butter is the perfect accompaniment. We shared the calamari to start and it was cooked perfectly! I prefer an aioli as a dip, but I actually liked this marinara sauce. For my entree, I had to get my favorite- scallops with parisian gnocchi. If you like scallops, this dish is a must try! It may be my favorite meal on Disney property. For dessert, I got the mascarpone espresso martini and it might be my favorite espresso martini I have ever had! The salty foam was the perfect addition to the espresso! I will be dreaming about this drink :) Like I said at the beginning, Sergio gave us top notch service and made us feel like family. We can't wait to come back for the food, but what made this so special was the incredible service! read more

Celebrated my sister's 30yr wedding anniversary here. Self parking is free, but a long walk. Located inside the Grand Floridian property. Reservations are a must. Service is great. Prices are a bit high, but what you would expect from Disney. The espresso martini and key lime martinis were excellent. The colossal shrimp were flavorful, huge and delicious. The seafood charcuterie was very unique. I'd never experienced it and it's hard to describe. I wouldn't order again... even the lobster sausages were odd tasting to me. The Caesar salad was presented beautifully and was delicious. The scallops were good, but didn't wow me at all. The pork chop was a tad dry and just tasted like it was covered in bbq sauce. The red fish was pretty good. They only gave them a tiny free chocolate plate to celebrate 30 years... a bit under whelming. Overall it was a good experience, but not a fantastic one. I was hoping for more because 10 years ago my experience here was phenomenal. Based on how expensive it is I probably wouldn't go back anytime soon because I feel other places provide a better value and experience. It does have a nice view of the park if you like to watch the fireworks. read more
We cannot say enough good things about the food, ambience, and our server (Maura) at Narcoossee's. This is a restaurant located on the water at the Grand Floridian hotel. It overlooks the Contemporary and Magic Kingdom. If you time it right you can see the MK fireworks from your table. The restaurant gives off a Floridian boathouse vibe. The food is amazing. I am going to say probably the best food on Disney property. Not only are the cuts of meat and ingredients high quality but the menu is deliciously creative and the kitchen CLEARLY knows how to cook on a whole other level. Their bread service is amazing too. We got the filet mignon cooked medium rare (perfectly) with the aged Gouda scalloped potatoes, smoky veggies and a demi glacé & red onion jam. And we got lobster which is literally the most tender and flavorful lobster I have ever eaten. Not a chewy end anywhere. OH MY. I mean basically all I can say is that it was some of the most delicious food prepared in the most perfect way. We also got the salted mascarpone espresso martini that is served with this crispy little piece of Parmesan. Marscapone and Parmesan sound as though they wouldn't work but THEY DO. This drink is also made with actual espresso and not just cold brew then called espresso. If you like espresso martinis or drinks like it, it is a must! For dessert we had the almond crusted cheesecake (one of the most delicious desserts I've ever had at Disney) as well as a very good key lime pie. And as for our server, Maura, think of a perfect mixture of a high-end restaurant server along with being incredibly friendly, funny & accommodating. HIGHLY recommend but be sure to make reservations! You can also squeeze in and eat at the bar sometimes with no reservations. Happy eating and drinking! read more

We had a delightful evening at Narcoossee's, located within Disney's Grand Floridian Resort. From the ambiance to the cuisine, the experience was nothing short of exceptional Our evening began with the Lobster Bisque. Rich, velvety, and full of depth, the bisque was beautifully presented and very flavorful, a must try for any first-time guest For our main course, we shared two standout entrées: Gulf Shrimp Bucatini - House-made bucatini pasta paired with roasted tomatoes, savoy spinach, and a vibrant basil pistou. The pasta was exceptionally fresh, and each element of the dish harmonized beautifully Plancha-Seared Scallops with Parisian Gnocchi - Served with trumpet mushrooms, asparagus, tasso ham, and finished with a truffled Meyer lemon cream. The scallops were seared to perfection, but the true star was the lemon cream, a delicious sauce that elevated the entire dish We complemented our entrées with two sides: the Sweet and Sour Brussels Sprouts and the Loaded Mashed Potatoes. Both were indulgent and flavorful additions we highly recommend To cap off the evening, we stayed to watch the Magic Kingdom fireworks from the restaurant's balcony. While the view is certainly lovely, the space was overly crowded and noisy. For a more quiet and enjoyable experience, we suggest walking down to the dock, a quieter spot that allows you to fully enjoy the show and the magic Overall we loved Narcoossees and can't wait to visit again Have you been here?! read more

Decided to try one of the couple of restaurants we had not tried yet. Went with Narcoossees at the Grand Floridian Hotel, Walt Disney World. Food was delicious. You can see the castle from your dinner table & if you get there at the right time can catch the fireworks. Would recommend checking it out. Started with king crab for an appetizer and it was delicious. They also brought out fresh baked sourdough loaf. Scallop dish was delicious, and the desserts were really good too. Had 2 kids and usually Disney menu but the shells and cheese was fantastic. The Nemo cupcake was adorable. Even brought out special birthday chocolates. Great waiter from Chicago. Good food. read more
