Need some help deciding

I have reservations for Narcoossee's on our first night at the world.We have never been, so now I 'm not sure if its worth the 2 credits for dinner. Should I do it or do a regular table service and maybe a breakfast buffet later in the week? Any help is greatly appreciated.

I personally have never been but for 2 TS I rather go to Hoope De doo and CRT. Check out the menu on allears and see if they have anything you like.

Re: Need some help deciding

Yes, Narcoossee's is worth two credits, but do your math just to be sure.
That is, look at the menu on All Ears. If it looks like you won't get your money's worth out of two credits, I'd pay the meal there out of pocket and use the two credits for two other sit down meals. Personally I think using sit down credits for breakfast, even character buffets, is a waste because you're not getting maximum value for your money.

CRT is really a waste of two credits because of the forced photo package that's included with your meal.
Back to Narc's, if you're on the deluxe dining plan which includes appetizer, entree, and dessert, then it really is worth the two credits.
Narcoossee's is one of my favorites.

Re: Need some help deciding

We loved Narcoossee's. We had dinner there last February and had a fantastic meal, one of the best of the trip I might add. The lobster was excellent and the cheesecake is now one of our favorites. Here are a few photos from our dinner that you can check out:

Re: Need some help deciding

Personally I think there are too many one table credit resturants you can have dinner, a really good dinner, like Le Cellier or Chefs de France or Boma. I hate using two credits unless its for a show like hoop-de-doo.
Also, Wave, the new resturant at Contem. has had great reviews.
Like Soundgod said, check out the menus and see what is best for your taste.

Re: Need some help deciding

Thank you everone for your input, especially the photos (food looks great)and menu links. I do agree that there are lots of great table sevice restaurants to choose from, but I think we are going to try Narcoossee's for something a little bit more. We are already doing Hoop de Doo and Spirit of Aloha and agree that they are worth the 2 credits, I really hope Nacs turns out the same in our eyes. So far it looks like it will. Thanks again for the help.

Re: Need some help deciding

Narc's is an abbreviation I just decided to start using this week. I've never seen it before, but I've gotten a little tired of typing out the whole word "Narcoossee's" so often in my posts.
I don't know if it will catch on and I'm not even sure if I like it. But there it is.

By the way, I've read plenty of mixed reviews of the luau here and a lot of people seem to be disappointed by it. As always, your mileage will vary and I've never been tempted to try.

Re: Need some help deciding

If you book an ADR during Wishes you can go out on the patio and watch the show. They pipe in the music and the staff can time you meal and not deliver anything while you are outside watching.

Yes, yes it was delicious! As was the cheesecake!

Also, timing for fireworks is another bonus to having dinner at Narc's.....oh look SG, it has caught on, you trend setter you!

I hope you enjoy your dinner there as much as we did Dave.

Wow! Those look yummy! And I'm starving right now and have no idea what I'm going to make for supper. Too bad I can't head over to Narcoossee's for some of this stuff!

Re: Need some help deciding

I agree, Narcooseee's is worth 2 TS credits. In fact, we ususally do several doubles, but this trip, Narc's is the only one. It is great food with exceptional service - dont forget the water parade that goes right by, then Wishes. I think our reservations have been in the 7-8pm range to hit both the water parade and Wishes.

The children's menu, if you are taking kids, is also exceptional, and also worth 2 of their credits. They really treat the children exceptionally well, not as many servers treat children. We absolutely love Narcoosee's. Enjoy!

Our ADRs were for around 8, but check the schedule for the dates you will be there to time them just right.
