The wife & I tried out Narcoossee's located in the Grand Floridian for my birthday. It was fantastic and worth checking out. We had a view of the lake and had started with a good idea of what we wanted. Our Server Jae was great, she provided an overview and some recommendations which we ended up changing our order. We landed on the Brisket and Ricotta Tortelloni & Lobster Bisque soup to start. You can't beat homemade pasta and lobster Bisque with real lobster. For our main course we had thePlancha-Seared Scallops & Parisian Gnocchi ( Jae said the Meyer Lemon Cream sauce was fantastic and she did not oversell it ) and Gulf Shrimp Bucatini. Try this place after dusk for the electric boat show and fireworks over the castle. Have to admit, we were stuffed so we grabbed the Almond-crusted Cheesecake to go and it was very flavorful. Thanks Jae and all the staff, it was a great night

From the time we walked through the doors our experience was superb. Our waiter, Nicolo was the best and made the whole evening wonderful. I can’t wait to go back.

It was a very warm greeting with a smile and friendly attitude from hostess Kris. We requested a table by the window and she had Maddi escort us to a booth which overlooked the lovely lagoon and magic kingdom castle and we were thrilled!Our waitress Marcelle was so sweet, informative and helpful with both beverage and dinner options this fine restaurant offers! I had met the chef in passing a couple of times within the grounds of our resort and in conversations I told him I was Looking forward to having dinner at Narcoossee's and if he would allow me to take a photo during our dining experience and he graciously told me it would be his pleasure. So how thrilled I was when our server came out with an amazing lobster bisque presentation along side with Chef Noah! I not only got my photo my family and I had an absolutely fabulous dinning experience which included tender fried calamari, for me the Meyer lemon scallop over gnocchi my daughter a large salad topped with a juicy lobster tail and my husband the spectacular seafood plateau! It truly was a magical dining experiance! We will be back in October and again next February!
This was my dream meal at Disney. The lobster bisque and the almond cheesecake were so delicious! Michael was our server. He's been there since the 80s and he was super fun and entertaining in his quick drop-bys our table. When they dropped the lights and played the music for the fireworks, it was a beautiful view from our table facing the water. However, I did book it outside to watch from the dock because I'm a child at heart and I didn't want the whole restaurant to see me cry watching HEA. What a wonderful delicious experience. Loved every minute. Also loved that the restaurant was dressier but not stuffy. I really appreciated that atmospheric note. It was magical. Can't wait to go back!

I’ve been to Narcoossee’s a bunch and I’ve found it amazing every time. I love going a bit later because you can usually catch the Magic Kingdom fireworks and/or the electric light water parade right from your table. The food is always amazing, the cocktails are creative and well-made, and top notch service. One of our faves on the property.

I think for the trip we took, Narcoosie's won the week. We will make a point to be back. Everything was first class. Perfect.

We visited Narcoossee's in March 2024. This is one of the most difficult reservations to get at WDW and it was one of the later restaurants to reopen after the pandemic. In terms of reservations, Narcoossee's doesn't seem to follow the same rules as other signature dining restaurants. I could only book 30 days out (instead of 60 days, +10 as I was staying onsite). Cast members told me they don't release the same way, so if you're trying to get a reservation, check daily and I had no problem getting a reservation a month before our trip. Located at the luxurious hotel, The Grand Floridain, Narcoossee's has been considered one of the best for many years, both for food and location (you overlook the Magic Kingdom). I had the Shrimp and Grits along with the Gnochhi and Scallops. Both dishes were amazing. Narcoossee's is always a restaurant I try to dine at when visting WDW.

We went last spring and again this past week. Both times we had a great experience! Food and drinks are amazing! My husband raves about the red fish. Service is attentive and the server had good recommendations. Beautiful view of the lagoon.

This is my favorite restaurant at the Grand Floridian thus far, but it is expensive. It’s worth the price, though! The food is fantastic, the views are beautiful and the service is top tier. The surf and turf and the wine selection are great. They also parted us with a delicate macaron after dinner!

I waited a bit to post this review until I had had a few visits since this restaurant was renovated. I am pleased to say that Narcoossee's has returned to its former glory. The ambiance, service and food quality is very good here and it makes a great choice for a special night out.

One of my favorite meals on property. Panoramic seating on the water. I always order the surf and turf. You can go outside to watch the fireworks from Magic Kingdom and the electric water parade. Do not pass on the almond cheesecake-one of the best desserts on the property!

Some of the nicer Disney restaurants can be hit or miss, but Narcoosee's absolutely hits. Drinks, food, and desserts are all fabulous. Special shout out to our server Edwin who was absolutely amazing.

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.
