Narcoosee's is a wonderful, bit out of the way (in its own building overlooking the lagoon) place that has very tasty food (mostly seafood and a steak) ... their menu though has been dumbed down considerably over the past few years. Well worth a visit though.

Good question - as I had to ask myself before I posted a response. I think because there is more competition for the high end - and places like Citrico's in the same hotel moved almost into the same league, while being more ' user friendly' so to speak. I rank Narcoosee's behind Cali Grill and Vic & Al's for sure.... and then places like Todd English's Blue Zoo IMHO offer more unique dishes at the higher end of the $$ scale for dinner.
