Which of these is best? Which has better food? Which has a better view of the fireworks? Which one is more kid-friendly?( We will be dining with DS8, DD6, & DS2) I'm really torn. From what I have read the views from Cali Grill are amusing but I'm afraid it may be a little too adult for our age of kids. Is Narcoossee's more kid-friendly? The menu there looks a little better for kids. Any advice?? Please help!!!

I'ts been 4 long years but we ate at both..

Fireworks view CG, kid friendly ..tie but if I remember DD4 was able to color on the white table paper at CG.

Food both excellent.. slight nod to CG... it has a great sushi and flatbreads. Can't recall the desserts at Narcoosee's ... CG desserts were wonderful..

I'm arriving in May.... I again have both booked again..

I'll check back in a month or so

California Grill.
If you're worried about the formality of the place with your kids, opt for an earlier dinner, around 5:00. Its pretty relaxed then.

From what I read with reviews Narcoossee's has long waits (even with ADRs) and its formal. I think it might be a bit too much for your kids.

In 2002 we had a long wait for a table but or concierge at the poly made the ressie for us the day before ( Ahhh .. the good old days)... we attributed the seating delay to the last minute ressie...

It was later and a bit noisey for a fine dining restaurant (we did sit close to the bar) but our DD4 (then) did great.

Which of these is best?
It's too close to call, CG for me

Which has better food?
CG, but they are both four star

Which has a better view of the fireworks?
California Grill

I'm really torn. From what I have read the views from Cali Grill are amusing but I'm afraid it may be a little too adult for our age of kids. Is Narcoossee's more kid-friendly? The menu there looks a little better for kids. Any advice?? Both of these restaurants are geared towards adult diners but here are kids at both all the time. Either is kid-friendly but I'd say most kids enjoy the California Grill atmosphere better especially during the fireworks.
