Signature suggestion other than Le Cellier or california Grill

[thesplashmountaineer]

for our next trip in October, we want to try a signature Restaurant. we have already been to Calfornia grill and Le Cellier. We are foodies and are willing to try anything.

thanks

Fulton's Crab House in Downtown Disney. :thumbsup:

[faline]

My first pick would be Jiko at Animal Kingdom Lodge. We've had excellent service and food there and the atmosphere is terrific.

Other suggestions:
Citrico's at Grand Floridian
Narcoosee's at Grand Floridian
Yachtman's Steak House at the Yacht Club
Brown Derby at Hollywood Studios

And for the ultimate dining experience at Disney World - Victoria & Albert's at the Grand Floridian

Citricos or yachtsman steakhouse.

[mook3y]

in order and the ones we have tried.

Narcoossee's,
Jiko,
Citrico's

Yachtsman was a miss for us, but mostly related to a horrible service experience.

Personally, I wouldn't recommend the Brown Derby. It wasn't bad, I didn't feel it was "signature" worthy. For what we paid, we expected the food to be amazing. We didn't feel that it was. In contrast, the same week we tried California Grill, and thought it was very good.

Have you looked at Artist Point? We will be trying it in April.

[thesplashmountaineer]

yes, the Artist Point is one that we are considering. The menu is very intriguing.

i've had very consistent and interesting meals at citricos and i'm a huge foodie

i used to love bistro de paris but can't recommend it now that it's on the dining plan

Narcoossee's,
Jiko,
Citrico's

I agree- Citricos and Narcoossee's are two of our favorites. Jiko, also good.

And Yachtsman was a huge miss for us, not just with service but with ingredient substitutions that made what sounded special on the menu into ordinary and boring dishes. It wasn't horrible, but it wasn't in keeping with my standards for a Signature Dining experience.

Also agree with this, and Bistro is undergoing major renovations. They're doing away with the formal atmosphere, tuxedoed waiters. This is one of the reasons I loved the place, the really formal French restaurant feel. I'm really disappointed. I hope it turns out better than I expect.

I agree with Faline, if you haven't tried Jiko it is fantastic. The atmosphere is awesome as well visiting the AKL. Also agree Fulton's is a good choice. We ate there two weeks ago and were very impressed with the food. If you like crab legs it is a must!:thumbsup:

[Lindsey310]

How about Jiko or Sanaa?? :eat:

13 days!!!!!!! :joy: :wave:

[darthmacho]

Artist Point is my favorite restaurant in all of WDW, and we're eating there in just 7 days!!! :mickey:

[JROriole8Fan]

Victoria & Albert's. They are a dining experience that you will never forget. There is a reason on 1-407-WDW-DINE, V&A is option #1, all others #2. Well worth the cost for a 2-3 hour exquisite experience!!!

[SurferStitch]

Outside of V&A (which is ultimately our favorite).... Our very favorite is Narcoossee's. The food and service there are nothing short of amazing.

[PlutoPlanet]

We really like Citrico's and Narcoosee's. Citrico's has the Mediterranean theme. Narcoosee's is more of a fish-Florida themed restaurant.

[VWL Mom]

Portobello's is another one that not many talk about but we really enjoy. It might be because they weren't DDP until this year.

[Anthony007]

Narcoossee's or Jiko

[Disney Yankee]

Another vote for Narcossee's. :thumbsup:

[Tinkerbella16]

There are so many to choose from!

Artist Point
Narcoossees
Yachtsman Steakhouse
Jiko

[Kairi_7378]

Artist Point is a favorite but Jiko and Citricos are on my "Disney Dining Bucket List."

[zipadeedoodah]

Narcoossee's is my personal favorite! The whole main steamed lobster can't be beat! And the Almond crusted cheesecake with cherry lambert sauce is to die for!:tasty:

[thesplashmountaineer]

Thanks everyone!!!

I just booked an ADR at Narcoosee's.
I'm very excited about the menu!!!

Other ADRs for our trip:
Tokyo dining
Kona Café
Kouzzina
tutto Italia
Paradiso 37
rose and Crown

[mgmnut]

yes, the Artist Point is one that we are considering. The menu is very intriguing.


We loved Artist Point, I though this was definately a Signature Experience when we ate there last July. If you go try the portobello Mushroom Soup, It has bits of roated ****aki mushrooms in it..... Yum!

[Anthony007]

Always wanted to try Artist Point

[brivers222]

Yachtsman or narcoosee's

Narcoosee's was the only place my DW said cooked her steak to the way she requested it (medium-well) i can't comment myself because all the places nailed my Medium Rare :)

[disneymom2000]

Loved Artist Point but was very disappointed in Narcoossee's. I guess I had just built it up more in my mind and was expecting so much more. But the service was not very good and the food portions were extremely small. I would definitely go back to Artist Point. Great food and I loved the restaurant.
