Narcoossee’s is located on the waterfront of Disney’s Grand
Floridian Resort & Spa. It is
in a fabulous location with panoramic views of the Seven Seas Lagoon. There are several means of
transportation you can take to get to Narcoossee’s. If you are staying at one of the Magic Kingdom resorts on
the monorail loop, you can take the monorail to the Grand Floridian. From any other resort, you can take a
bus to the Magic Kingdom and then take the monorail, ferry or brand new walkway to the Grand
Floridian. If you would like to be
dropped off right next to the restaurant, take the ferry.
If you like seafood, then Narcoossee’s is the restaurant for
you! From appetizers to entrees,
there are plenty of different options for seafood lovers everywhere. I love seafood so it was actually
really hard for me to decide on which appetizer to get. We went with a party of 8, so lucky for
me, I got to try a little bit of everything. Two of my favorite appetizers are the calamari and crab
cakes. It’s hard to find a good crab cake and I really enjoyed them.
Don’t worry if you don’t like seafood…there are land-based options. One of our favorites at Narcoossee’s is the filet mignon. It. Was. Delicious. I, sadly, did not order the filet but luckily one of my family members was nice enough to share. Never again will I go to Narcoossee’s and not order the filet. It was that good! My husband still argues that the filet at Jiko is better but my vote goes to Narcoossee’s. For entrees, I had ordered just the lobster (yes…I know. I can’t believe I said “just the lobster”) and I didn’t enjoy it as much as I enjoyed the filet. I didn’t think the lobster was worth the hefty price tag. The filet, however, was definitely worth it. It was that good.

Desserts were also a huge hit and solidified Narcoossee’s as
being on of our favorite meals of the trip. One of my favorites is the
cheesecake. Mmm. I love cheesecake and Narcoossee’s has a delicious cheesecake
that you must try. Another hit on our recent trip was the carrot cake.
Delicious!
Narcoossee’s is a Signature Dining experience, which means
that you need to dress up a little bit more than your usual table service
restaurant. You can leave the tuxedos and evening gowns at home but there is a
business causal dress code. Essentially, they ask that you don’t wear tank
tops, swimsuits, hats, cut-offs, torn clothing or shirts with offensive
language or graphics.
With most table service restaurants at Walt Disney World,
reservations are highly recommended and can be made up to 60 days prior to
your visit. Narcoossee’s is only
open for dinner so plan accordingly when making your reservations. Dining Plans are temporarily unavailable but previously, if you were using the Disney Dining or Deluxe Dining Plan, 2 credits were required per person.
Aside from the wonderful food and view of the Seven Seas
Lagoon, Narcoossee’s also offers spectacular views of the fireworks at the
Magic Kingdom. They dim the lights
in the restaurant and pipe in the music for a truly magical end to a fantastic
evening. They also have a
wrap-around deck outside where you can stand and watch the fireworks.
Narcoossee’s has definitely made it back on my “Must Eat”
list. I probably won’t visit on
each and every trip, but I am glad that I have found this favorite again. It is one of the more expensive
restaurants on property, but it is a nice restaurant to celebrate a special
occasion or simply to splurge because you are on vacation! If you have never been to Narcoossee’s
before, give it a try and if you haven’t been in awhile, give it another try.
Who knows? You may just find you have a forgotten favorite!
I need to go here just for that cheesecake! :)
