They are at opposite ends front to back. SRT is along the water, where Marrakesh is tucked all the way back beyond the shops. Not all of SRT would get a view of fireworks though (much like not all of Rose and Crown does not)Gotcha. I thought it was Spice Road Table we wanted for the view, but I was having a hard time picturing where each restaurant was. Thank you sir!!
We got the Yellowfin Tuna and the Rack of Lamb. Both were mouthwatering (and beautiful!) dishes.

Oh, desserts were great too.
I'll be honest most of our past experiences have been wonderful with service and food. It was a must do for us. Sadly people seem to want bland so the same dished we had in the past were just that. I am hopeful with how Skippers Canteen and Tiffins seem to buck the old trend of blah foods that maybe we'll get our old Marrakesh back.
We were so sad too. I had been going for years (like a decade regularly) and then the good flavors were gone. I am sure people wanted less spice, but they didn't need to change it. The worst was the desserts. The bastilla was so sweet I couldn't finish it. I do have hope that maybe someday it will go back to being flavorfulI'm sorry to read they've dumbed down the food in Marrakesh. I love Morroco, one of the reasons being the wonderful smell of those spices as you walk through the shops. I've not eaten at Marrakesh - it was on my bucket list - and now I'm not sure I want to if it's going to be bland food.
That sounds perfect! What time do you make a reservation to be able to watch IllumiNations? Did you sit inside or out? Can you request a certain area to see the show? Geez, sorry, after reading your post I'm kind of obsessed! Sure beats standing next to a fence in between bushes for an an hour waiting for it!
Both inside and out have roofs over head so it's more of if you are in the front or back of the room. We were against the back wall and wouldn't have been able to see a lot of Illuminations but we would've seen some. The nice thing though was we were not rushed out at all - very relaxed and non pushy service there so you could get a slightly earlier dinner there, ask if you can be seated by the water front and just take a while to finish.
Alright, you've talked me into it, I am making a res. there for one of our nights in Epcot to watch llumiNations. I showed my family the menu, they're ready to have a table covered in small plates! I don't know how cold it will be in the evening in Dec., but the outdoor seating area sure is pretty! We'd have to stand outside somewhere anyways. May be I'll order hot tea......
I had the brie foundue - if you like cheese I highly recommend. We split an entree otherwise for us. The reality was i took over the foundue and barely shared lol
So, I got a res. for 8:20pm, do you think that will be a good time for the show? Or will all the good tables be filled by then? I got it for Dec. 12th, not sure what time IllumiNations starts that night. Should we ask for a table by the railing? Sooo looking forward to this! We might even do this as a table service, the food looks too good. Thanks for all your help, you are wonderful!
