The food is so so ... the view of the aquarium is spectacular ... if your their for 16 days then I would say give it a try ... it is a cool place to eat, even if the food isn't the greatest.

Yes, and I thought it stunk. The menu was horrid for a "seafood" place and what was on the menu wasn't that much better. The atmosphere is ok, but these days there are a lot of options to eat at a place that has huge aquariums, so that novelty isn't there for me anymore.

We've been there twice and it was ok. Probably not a place I would go back to, but I'm notoriously picky when it comes to seafood. The atmosphere is wonderful, however. All I can say is that if you've never been, try it one time. If you don't like it, lesson learned. But at least you can say you've put forth the effort.....

it's Okay- but really over priced and the service itself is hit or miss you either have a really great server or a server that barely refills your drinks and doesn't respond to special request ie may we please have extra napkins or another spoon as my son dropped his...

VDisneyFan....Coral Reef is a huge Disney-Miss. We WANT to like this place so much that we keep going back to give it another try....and always leave disappointed. The aquarium is amazing....but don't waste a meal here. Go for drinks or dessert.

Yup. That was our experience as well.

Also, when you look at a seafood restaurants menu and over half of the entrees are not seafood, you have question why?

 

[lynnkatherine]

....all true....all our same experience.
I would still stop and have a drink and experience the aquarium.

I have been there twice. The first time in Sept 08 great food loved the inside with the tank. Just return last month and will not go again. The food was good but a lot smaller for the price and loud! It was so loud with the kids screaming, it was just a zoo. Don't care to go back.

This is all so depressing. Coral Reef was one of the restaurants I was looking forward to the most. I guess reading all this will just give me the heads up to know not to expect superior dining here... But I know my girls will love the aquarium so I am gonna keep my ADR.

I went in last july and it was AMAZING good food and atmosphere

I had a wonderful experience at the Coral Reef! We had a very friendly cast member and really enjoyed our meal. I had an excellent salmon dish and the atmosphere was great! Definitely making reservations there for our next trip!

If you are going I would highly suggest you request a seat close to the aquarium and let them know that you are willing to wait a little longer for a seat right next to it. We went 2 summers ago and sat on the front row of the top level and the aquarium was too far away to bother looking at "ohh look its kinda foggy water..was that a fish?".

And I prefer the menu at Red Lobster to the one at coral reef. So no you will not be going there for the food, unless you luck upon something you are just crazy for which is entirely possible.

We have eaten at Coral Reef twice and me and the DH LOVED it both times. I had the salmon both times and it was very good, I believe it came with asparagus and rice if I remember correctly and my DH had the steak plater both times which came with some type of potato, not exactly sure if it was mashed or french fries can't remember that far back. I also had the chocolate wave which was delicious, and my DH LOVES the Jack Daniels dessert. We celebrated my 21st birthday there last year and we also went there after we got engaged and both times they made a special design on my dessert plate which was a nice touch. My DH is upset we are not going back on our next trip but I wanted to try signature restaurants on this upcoming trip, however, we will def. be going back the following trip.

the wife and i ate there this past august. felt like the food was pretty good. what sold the meal for me was the baileys and jack daniels moose for dessert. a-ma-zing.

view of the aquarium is nice, as others have said. if you're really, really into seafood, try bluezoo at the dolphin resort. incredible.

Found a huge piece of sharp plastic in a dessert item there ages ago, haven't had any desire to return since.

Unfortunately many people will say everything stinks until free dining goes away. Coral Reef has been good for us. Not 5 star good but better than most stuff we get around here.
