REVIEW: This Disney World Hotel Restaurant Is “Expensive But Worth It”

When it comes to dining at Walt Disney World, the resort hotels often offer some of the best-kept culinary secrets.

While the theme parks are filled with quick-service favorites and character meals, the hotel restaurants provide a wide range of elevated dining experiences, from casual family-friendly spots to award-winning signature restaurants. Many of these hotel eateries boast unique themes, menus crafted by top chefs, and stunning views you won’t find inside the parks. For guests looking to slow down after a busy park day or celebrate a special occasion, Disney World hotel restaurants deliver memorable meals, and sometimes at a steep price.

Nestled along the shores of Seven Seas Lagoon at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa, Narcoossee’s is one of Walt Disney World’s signature dining experiences. Specializing in coastal cuisine and steaks, this waterfront restaurant offers guests an upscale yet relaxed atmosphere with sweeping views of Magic Kingdom. Since Narcoossee’s is a popular choice for special occasions, you will want to secure an advanced dining reservation.

Narcoossee’s is the perfect spot for couples seeking a romantic evening, families celebrating a special milestone, or Disney foodies who want to enjoy a more refined dining experience. The menu features a mix of fresh seafood, premium steaks, and thoughtfully crafted pasta dishes, paired with signature cocktails and a strong wine list. Guests often come not only for the food but also for the ambiance, whether that’s catching fireworks over Cinderella Castle or watching the Electrical Water Pageant glide by on the lagoon.

Guests consistently praise the quality of the food and service. One diner shared, “I had a great dinner at Narcoossee’s. It had been years since I’d eaten there, and it was a great experience. Had the best margarita. The Shrimp Boucatini was delicious. My waiter was friendly and funny. Expensive but worth it.” Another couple highlighted the restaurant as a honeymoon destination, saying, “We had steak with lobster tail, and both were incredible and cooked to perfection. The service and atmosphere was second to none. We had a great view of the Electric Water Parade while dining. Before our meal, we headed to the docks and had a good view of the fireworks display at Magic Kingdom.”

For many, the atmosphere is just as memorable as the food. A recent guest recalled, “We dined here a few months ago. We had a very nice server, and the food was really good overall. I ordered the filet and it was incredible. The dessert was also amazing. Plus, we had a beautiful view of Magic Kingdom from our table.” Whether you’re savoring seafood pasta, indulging in a surf-and-turf entrée, or ending the evening with a decadent dessert, Narcoossee’s consistently delivers a top-tier dining experience.

Yes, the prices are higher than your average Disney dining location, but most visitors agree the combination of excellent food, impeccable service, and unbeatable views makes Narcoossee’s a splurge-worthy choice.
