    Default Which signature dining experience?

    If you had to choose between California Grill, Narcoosees or Citricos, which would it be? Out of those three, I've only been to CG and loved it! TIA

    Of the 3, Narcoosee's is most definitely our favorite! We love the location, ambiance and food is fabulous.
    Last time we went to Citricos it just seemed way too noisy for fine dining and we prefer the menu at Narcoosee's over CG.

    Citricos is the one I haven't tried, so that's on the list for next. But California Grill is our new favorite with Narcoossee's a close second.

    I'll answer this way (keeping in mind we stay 2-3 weeks at a time):
    California Grill - two to three times a trip
    Citricos - once every trip
    Narcoossee's - every other trip

    As a side note, Flying Fish, two to three times a trip.

    California Grill has it all, great food, great service, great atmosphere, great sushi, great wine list. It can be a little loud though.

    Citricos has great food and service and a beautiful dining room, and one of the best chefs on property, plus an award winning wine cellar, over 10,000 bottles.

    Narcoossee's has wonderful fish and a top shelf Crème Brûlée.

    You've narrowed it down to two of our three favorite restaurants with Flying Fish being our other favorite.

    You can't go wrong with either CG or Citricos.

    Out of those three, I would choose Narcoosee's. My friend and I had a wonderful meal there in May. I have never been to Citricos, but maybe someday I will try it. I did CG on my trip last May with my friend and was completely underwhelmed. The sushi was good, the filet at Jiko was much better and dessert was just alright. The view was nice, but it was too noisy and the family that came in with badly behaved kids and all of them wearing jeans shorts was a big turn off. That can happen anywhere, I know. Still I have no real desire to ever go back there.

    Our favorite Signature Dining is Yachtsman Steakhouse. It was perfect. DH is not an adventurous eater, but loves a great steak. Our waitress was incredible and we had a terrific anniversary dinner there. It is the one restaurant that he will insist on now.

    Thanks everyone. We're also thinking about those three for our next trip (we're planning on booking this week for March 4-8).

    How do those three rates for romance value? We're thinking of doing Narcoosee's for our first anniversary since it is about two weeks before we get there. But, I'd like to know about the others.
