We ended up here for our one dinner out while the kids stayed in the hotel with grandma, and I must say that overall I was disappointed. We did have the last available reservation, and the waitress was very nice, but the food was a bit too salty (and no, not the sea salt on the butter) and just not spectacular.
I had the filet, and asked for it medium - medium rare, and it was more like medium well. It came to the table just barely lukewarm, and while it was a nice cut of meat, the temperature and degree of doneness really took away from that. The scalloped potatoes, which is what sold me on the filet, were sooo salty that I didn't want to finish them. And I am not the kind of person, like my husband, who has an antenna for salty food and complains about it all the time. My husband had the pepper risotto, which was pretty good, but also a bit salty. He did have the pumpkin soup, which I thought was great. Not hot when served, but warm enough, and creamy and delicious.
Luckily we got a great bottle of wine, and just enjoyed the time out. Unfortunately, we were full, and did not sample what looked like great desserts.
We went to the California Grill two years ago and were pleasantly surprised, so maybe we were expecting too much. We live in a city where there are plenty of good restaurants, and if most of disney's nicer restaurants are like what we had at narcoosees, I'd rather just get a sitter at home, and go to a place that I know is good, and pick up something cheaper next time we go to disney, or even cook in the condo.
