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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

Worst restaurant we went to on our May 2024 trip. The ambiance and fireworks views were lovely, thats where the 2 stars come in. The food and service was BAD. California Grill still reigns supreme around the Magic Kingdom area. Waitress was nice but she was new and knew nothing about whats in a dish or how many ounces the steak is. This is a signature, expensive restaurant. They should have her shadowing and training with someone knowledgeable, not throwing her out there on her own before she is ready to serve. Management did her wrong and thats the part thats upsetting. The food: The new york strip steak didn't have a good flavor and was low quality, the yuzu ginger salmon flavors were no good, overly salted salmon, sauces on the dish did not taste good at all, side mushrooms were overcooked and oily, their caesar salad (romaine and hearts of palm) barely had any sauce or even greens (way too small a portion) and way overpriced. It was just BAD all around. This was a one and done for us which is a shame because before the refurbishment, we really enjoyed the food. Alot of influencers were saying this is an amazing restaurant so what happened here?? Are they lying or did things change? read more
As WDW locals, we keep to the same spots! But we have been to Narcoosee's twice in the past year. The food and service are amazing. The views of Cinderellas castle and the monorail are just an added bonus. They also have the best key lime pie martini on property. Highly recommend! read more
I just want to preface this before anything is taken the wrong way. My party and I absolutely love Disney and love eating at all the restaurants. We wanted to try Narcoosee's as it was one of the last resort restaurants on our list that we hadn't tried. We went by the reviews and booked a reservation. After our meal there, we were saddened to say that the food (not the experience) was just completely average. This is why I'm genuinely confused by these 5 star reviews. The consensus at the table was "Disney prices, for an average meal". That was what all of us were the most upset about. The pricing. Obviously you're in Disney, it's going to be expensive. However if you're going to pay this kind of money, you expect the food to be great, and it simply wasn't. We ordered a little bit of everything to really get a taste for the menu. We'll start with the good! The brisket ravioli was fantastic (5/5) and the mushroom risotto was very good as well (4/5). The rest of the appetizers were okay. The lobster bisque was one of the better one we've all had in Orlando, but agreed the only thing that separated it/ gave it an edge from just a standard bisque was the vanilla foam - 3.5/5. The calamari was pretty much your basic calamari. Lightly breaded and tender. Which is great! - 3/5 The other two apps were a little disappointing. The shrimp and grits were not good. Unfortunately we had to send them back. The barbecue sauce kind of ruined it for us. - 1/5 The salad pictured below was delicious! However the problem we had was that there was barely any of it. Seriously I don't know if that was even a handful of greens. For $15 you would hope to get more. Flavor: 5/5! Portion/ 2/5 All the entrees were very average. The scallop with gnocchi ($54) entree we gave a 3/5 and the bucatini ($42) was also a 3/5 So overall! The seafood was fresh, there's no doubt about that. The service was fantastic. Veronica was our server. She was efficient and very personable. Clearly a professional at her job and we loved her! We're just disappointed that you should expect more out of the food set at this price point. There are better restaurants on property to spend this kind of money on. read more

First time here had dinner with friends. I wanted their house made pasta & got the gnocchi with scallops & lemon sauce, it was good but wouldn't get it again. Hub got the surf & turf, was it the best he's ever had, he said no. Get the gingerbread martini, that was awesome! Our service was rushed which I hate, we still had our app & our dinner came out, so then the app sat un ate. Everyone rants & raves about this place & I'd rather go to Capital Grille for equal money. read more
Amazing! The experience is worth it! The food is good, but not incredible wow. Service was good in that my water was never empty. Waitstaff team worked well together. The menu was not overly priced, but portions were not large either. Best part is get a table around 8:30 (or when Magic Kingdom does the fireworks) as you can see beautifully around the table and best yet around the patio of the restaurant. The fireworks music is piped in so it a great escape from the crowds! You can also see the electric parade of floats. read more
Service was great! Good firework viewing if you time it correctly or come back with receipt. Drinks are madly overpriced, but also original and fun (I didn't say good...). The food was unique and plated beautifully, but wasn't for my pallet. read more
Aghhhh... SO wonderful, I am not even sure where to start. Perhaps at the beginning. Okay so I'm a ding dong and insisted to my partner that our reservation was for 7:30. It was not. It was an hour earlier. No problem. We waited like 5 minutes and they seated us. We were informed that they could hold off on bringing our meal until after fireworks so it did not get cold. We were certain we would not care to watch fireworks on their lovely deck and politely declined. Cut to fireworks- I am like a moth to the flame and cannot resist this prime and very romantic viewing spot so I step out onto the deck to partake as does my partner. When we come back inside, our dinners have been covered and our napkins and silverware freshly replaced. Day five into our two week Disney trip and I had been going pretty hard, so I opted for an appetizer as an entree and decided to forgo Alcohol for the evening as well. The ocean inspired charcuterie was effing outrageous in the best way. The waiter took the time to present it to me, explaining each component. He suggested I try one of each component in each bite, as that is how the dish is "intended". Much like the great Gordon Ramsey, I don't prefer being instructed on how to eat my dinner :) I tried it that was but preferred savoring each part on its own. Either way, it was a delicious dish. The service was brilliant, as was the food, and for the dessert, well my picture says it all. Magnifiquè! My only complaint are inconsiderate assholes who bring their children to a restaurant like that, later in the evening, who then (understandably) misbehave and then ignore it as if everyone else in the restaurant spending several hundred dollars on dinner is supposed to do the same. Okay I digress. Can't wait to return! LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS PLACE! read more

A resort restaurant that is known for good food. So lots of reviews are saying 4 or 5 stars.... Well, let's tap the brakes. It is a restaurant at Disney, and it has all the things you might find at there: jam packed seating, happy and unhappy kids, noise and excitement of all types. The food was good, not great, and the prices were way too high. The service was very good and we did not leave hungry. I reservedly recommend it, but know that you will pay resort prices here. read more
our server Mike was amazing! He did a wonderful job and making sure we have everything we needed and he was so nice. The gulf shrimp was so yummy my friend and I both had it and we both ate it all. My friend loved the brisket tortellini personally I thought it was a little too sweet, but it was still good and worth trying if you like brisket maybe just share it with someone. The drinks were great we loved all the ones we had like the margarita, espresso, martini, and the rosé. The next time I'm in Orlando they will definitely see me again. read more

Omg. The food was heavenly. My husband ordered the scallops with Parisian gnocchi and the scallops were literally cooked to perfection. You sliced into butter. I ordered the gulf shrimp and bucatini and the flavors were delicious. The basil, spinach and garlic were just so complimentary. We went to celebrate when we got engaged. read more

Gorgeous restaurant right on grounds of Grand Floridian.... Ambience is spectacular. Steaks are outstanding and yummy:) Don't pass this restaurant up ! read more
Wow - quite possibly the best Disney restaurant near magic kingdom! They started us with complimentary bread with delicious salted butter. Also tried the lobster bisque and gulf shrimp pasta- both were incredible and I devoured them and dipped my bread in the sauce. The service is very good as well and views are amazing - overlooking the waters to Mk and the contemporary read more
Really wanted to eat at this place, but reservations were never open until the day of when I was able to get us in. And I'm sure glad it worked out. Everything was absolutely delicious. I ordered the blackened red fish wish was served just like the picture on their home page, and tasted every bit as good. Great views of the Seven Seas and Magic Kingdom. read more
Enjoyed a wonderful evening with friends. The re-vamp of the restaurant: spot on. I recommend this place 100% The food was good. But the Lobster Bisque: out of this world YUMMY! The atmosphere of the place was so cozy feels like I'm back in the HAMPTONS. The place was clean the bathroom top notch. But the very best part of this place that gave it that extra touch of Magic. The waiter "Mike". He was AMAZING!!!! Extremely knowledgeable on the menu and he gave recommendations. We never even had to ask for anything. He refilled, kept table super clean. Very professional and friendly. I will never forget his smile. A++++ Now our waiter who served the Lobster Bisque, I'm so upset, I didn't get his name because we're all in AWE with the presentation: of the serving the soup!!! His voice and face expressions said it all. I felt I was in a dinner show. A++++ PEP PEE: The only thing: The portions of the food, my guest thought was small, my opinion "it's perfect". Worth every penny!!! OVERALL: I HIGHLY recommend: a birthday, engagement, anniversary, graduation or anything special. It would add that extra magical moment you will never forget. read more

What an experience- MUST dine, if you are exploring Orlando, and want to dine in High Style and try an incredible food! Tip #1: book the dinner while in advance (my friend made a reservation 2 months in advance, but got only 9.20pm slot!) It worked for us in some ways: had some snacks around 7pm -not to die from starvation... We came at 9.05pm, right away got a perfect seating-half booze right in the center with a lake view! Made a drink order and immediately went to the terrace to watch fireworks! Magic Kingdom right across-perfect view! While enjoying the magical fireworks, our waiter Ornuma, brought us our drinks-so nice! It was quite crowded on the terrace, but she somehow managed to find us- great service from the start! Very friendly and funny interactions with her... knowledgeable of the menu details and humorous at the same time! We ordered Plancha Seared Scallops with Parisian gnocchi-seared to PERFECTION (!!) and Blackened Redfish- both dishes cooked to perfection! We were full enough (snaking before at 7 pm, remember?!) helped... Portions are big... vine selection also impressive... What a beautiful experience... We left around 11pm. The restaurant was almost empty (most of the customers left after the fireworks) Tip #2: order your meals before going to the terrace for fireworks-we ordered only drinks, but not a meal and were waiting about 30 min before the dishes were served... despite our server warnings... Got some extra treats from our waiter ( want to keep as a secret). Thank you, Ornuma! read more

Narcoossee's sits at the edge of the Seven Seas Lagoon with a charming view of the MK castle and the Contemporary Resort. Having made reservations for dinner my husband and I were seated promptly. Our waiter was friendly and helpful with some dining suggestions. Some of their menu items are called "enhancements" meaning you cannot order them by itself but rather pair it with an entree. I wasn't overly hungry so I was able to "pair" my lobster tail with my husband's roasted vegetable paella. That entree is vegan and according to him turned out to be a bit spicey. I ordered the brisket and ricotta tortellini which our waiter recommended as a favorite appetizer. We were served breaded with special butter-the latter was a bit peppery for me so I ended up with regular butter. We did have to wait some time for our food but it did not disappoint! The brisket and ricotta tortellini made a flavorful and filling combination and was just the right size for me. The butter poached lobster tail was small but with drawn butter also brought out the flavor. Although my husband wasn't altogether pleased with the paella he ate the whole thing anyway since he had said it was otherwise good. Narcossee's has a dress code but you can get away with jeans and a nice top-business casual is what I would say. Reservations are a must since this place is very popular and hard to secure them. Located on the grounds of the Grand Floridian resort, Narcossee's sits right by the boat launch that will take you to both the Polynesian Resort and the Magic Kingdom. The resort monorail is located in the main building and the resort has its own parking lot. read more

Over 20 years ago I tried their lobster bisque; it was luscious. I thought it'd be amazing on pasta, so rich. They completely changed the recipe, & renovated the place. It looked different to me. I've changed too, haha. The soup was good, just more traditional slightly sweet with sherry. It had a vanilla topping & lobster meat garnish. It was good but not crazy good like their previous recipe. The place is so beautiful now! It's an excellent place to watch the fireworks at the Magic Kingdom across the lake; time your reservation well. If you do t have a reservation, you might be able to get a bar seat if you arrive early & speak with them. Excellent service. The BEST sourdough bread. Crunchy exterior & soft spongy light interior. The butter has a Hawaiian pink salt, I think I heard, on it. I tossed my leftover bread in a bag, still so good the next day. To drink I had a grapefruit beer from a can poured into a glass. I was full & couldn't finish it, big can. I do prefer it draft though to canned, it's more effervescent & fresher on draft. read more

We were able to visit prior to their shit down to refurbish. Our friend's made this reservation for our group of 4. Located on the Grand Floridian property, I was curious as to why this location. Within 30 minutes it became apparent. You have a fantastic view of the Magic Kingdom fireworks. The restaurant overlooks the Seven Seas Lagoon. So not only do you have the fireworks, but you can also view the Electrical Water Pageant. Server was friendly and attentive. She told us of the coming refurbishment. I ordered the special of the evening, Lobster Tails. Plus, there were good white wine selections to pair with my Lobster Tails. We had a lovely dinner and I look forward to seeing this spot after the refurbishment. read more

We had truly an amazing time here, the meal, the view of the fireworks (which is encouraged with the background music that comes on), and an overall pleasant experience. We made reservations for a Tuesday at 6:50pm, coming from Animal Kingdom, we made it just on time. We were seated at a booth for 6 or more, but it was just us 2 so it was so spacious. For appetizers I ordered the buttermilk fried calamari, which was not a huge portion but the buttermilk flavor was tasty. It also comes with a small side of some veggies. I remember there was a side of bread included which tasted so delicious, I forgot to take a picture. There was salted butter with the bread and it was probably the best bread I've had in Disney World. For entrees, we got the Scallops and Gnocchi, and the NY strip filet. I was hesitant on seafood since it has such a unique flavor, but it did not disappoint! The scallops were so juicy and perfectly plump. Halfway through the meal we went out to enjoy the fireworks, it's a completely different experience than seeing it at Magic Kingdom! Magical in its own way. The waiter covered our meals for us so it wouldn't get so cold when we came back. Highly recommend. You can also walk around and check out The Grand Floridian Resort while you're there, which is a beautiful resort. Modeled after the Hotel del Coronado, which I luckily was able to visit last year and compare. read more

Narcoossee's is back! Despite going to WDW for the past 20 years, I had never heard of this place until we watched Tim Tracker review it, calling it his favorite WDW restaurant! We booked our reservation for 5:50 on Christmas Day. Service: Our server, Desman was everything and more! He had jokes, history, and of course was great in letting us know that the restaurant does accommodate for everyone, even the individuals who are just there for the free bread and fireworks view! I had the Brisket & Ricotta Tortelloni and it was fabulous! The cream sauce was sweet from the raisins and the perfect accompaniment to the tender pulled brisket! I also tried the Pork Chop and it was tender and moist! Desserts: We got the coquito creme brulee (most likely a holiday offering since coquito is known as an alcoholic coconut eggnog) and pineapple bavarois. Both I would say are an acquired taste, which someone in my party referenced eating both desserts to be similar to trying soap at lush, but for me, the creme brulee was alright! Overall, this is a steeper price point, but definitely worth it for the quality of food, special water, theme park view, and quality of the staff! As for the desserts, I would probably just skip them and hop on the monorail for a dole whip at the polynesian. read more
Let me start off by saying this was the best meal and the best service I have ever had on Disney property and yes I have been to Topolino's for dinner. This blew Topolino's OUT THE WATER! Josh was our server if you get him he is going to be SPECTACULAR and then I believe Matt was the manager at the time (we went May 2nd for 7:40pm if I am wrong so sorry!). The service was astounding, the actual restaurant was quaint and small but also the perfect size. If this wasn't what I considered "luxury dining" I would go once a week. Seafood is my favorite type of food and I cannot express how well they did. The lobster bisque pulled me in and the Salmon put the cherry on the cake. The Key Lime Pie Martini was out of this world! I spoke with the waiter before ordering because I have never had a Martini before and he said the only thing that makes it a Martini is the glass it comes in haha. I definitely will only ever order one from here if thats the case because it was DELICIOUS. Nothing was overly salted (unlike at Topolino's) and the flavors were so so good. The best part is if you do time your reservation right you can see and hear the fireworks PERFECTLY. They turn the lights down and the speakers inside play the same audio as if you were standing in front of the castle. I cannot boast about this place enough if you have the extra money to spend and you want to splurge THIS is the restaurant. They just reopened and I hope they don't need renovations for a LONG time because this place is too good to keep closed. Again I would like to thank Josh & Matt (hopefully the name is Matt) for making our night so special and to whoever cooked our meals they hired the right person! read more
We made dinner reservations at Narcoosses about five weeks before we got there. We were celebrating my husband's birthday, so it was special occasion. We were all dressed up, we actually called ahead of time to see if we could push our reservation and there was no such luck, no such availability... They were completely booked. I highly recommend making a reservation for this popular dinner spot. There were also people waiting outside. Upon arrival, we didn't have to wait long to be seated. We had a beautiful, lake view-booth and a wonderful server. She was really great in explaining the menu and its entirety. The place itself is gorgeous, beautiful view, great service. Definitely, pricey for what you would expect. Great seafood options. Unfortunately, their salmon, although organic and raised wild, was not wild caught. That's exactly what I would've wanted, it looked so good. So I opted for the shrimp and pasta dish. My husband got the fillet, my mother-in-law ordered the scallops. My son ordered and steak off of the kids menu, and my father-in-law, ordered the pork roast. What I will say, which blew my mind. Is the portions. The fillet was gigantic, the pork roast nearly took up the entire plate, so it's definitely shareable if that's something that you like to do. We started with a blueberry salad, which was yummy, not a huge portion. They also bring out complimentary bread. The only thing that ticked my husband and father-in-law off is that they both ordered Wellers and it came out Angels Envy. They told the server, who told the bartenders. One of them didn't seem to care and the other one ran over, apologetically, admitting his mistake. We didn't really care-an honest mistake. It was just weird the way it happened. That was the only smudge and the whole experience. They brought over a very small dessert for my husband to celebrate his birthday. They also brought out a complimentary cupcake for my son with Nemo on it, which was so cute. Overall, this is definitely a fine dining experience. however, it's worth it for the delicious food, great menu options, and beautiful view, and great service. read more
The food here and ambience is so lovely. Elevated dishes with while still being family friendly and relaxing atmosphere. Everything from the appetizer, to the entree to the dessert, we ordered was consistently delicious and flavorful. Our server was very upbeat and friendly, which you sometimes don't get at Disney's "higher end" restaurants. Will definitely come back!! read more
