Coral Reef Restaurant

"I literally have a new favorite Disney property restaurant. Previously was Jungle Cruise Canteen, but this place raises the bar at Disney. Ribeye was cooked to perfection as requested. Lobster Bisque was perfectly seasoned, and shrimp cocktail was wonderful portions. Also, we LOVED the views of the sharks, stingrays, honu/turtles and fish. This is the best Disney Lunch Experience I've ever had - PERIOD and enough said. To top it off, the service was superb in true Disney style."

"Hands down, the best dining experience we had at all of Disney World (including "fine dining" like Cinderella's Royal Table). It was the only restaurant that seated us right away at our reservation time. Our server was amazing and gave great recommendations for food and drink. She was immediately on top of every little request we had. The food was also amazing, as was the atmosphere. I enjoyed one of the best espresso martinis I've ever had. In addition to it being our favorite meal of the trip, it also was not nearly the most expensive. We look forward to returning some day!!"

"Coral Reef Restaurant is a lovely treat within EPCOT. The setting is relaxing and the view of the aquarium is peaceful and fascinating. The service was AMAZING. Our server pointed out various inhabitants of the aquarium and let us know their names and some fun facts about them. The food was quite good and fairly unique. The shrimp and grits was particularly good. I went to Maine this summer and the clam chowder I had here was better than the clam chowder I had in Maine."

"Amazing meal! We were a little hesitant to dine here because I have seen very mixed reviews on this place; but I am so glad we went and decided for ourselves. The ambience is amazing and the tables face towards the gigantic fish tanks so you get to watch all the fish, sharks, rays, turtles, and even divers swim by while you eat! The service is Disney's usual, fantastic! We loved learning about the different species and our waitress was very attentive to us and paced our meal well. We purchased an Eat to the Beat Dining Package and received and Appetizer, Entrée, Dessert and Beverage each for around $80pp with tax+ tip which included the reserved front row(s) seating for the concert time we chose. We thought this was a great value for the food we received. The food was delightful and prepared perfectly, which can be hard with seafood sometimes. The Shrimp and Grits were the fan favorite for us. The grits are a cheesy grit cake that was superb! We also loved the appetizer seafood dip. They even allowed us to order one of the kids desserts!"

"This experience dining here was wonderful. The food and service were both stellar. The ambiance was fantastic for our family with small children. What kid wouldn't love to eat amongst the sting rays and sharks? We had a great time and would absolutely return again."
