Coral Reef
Who: Cooper Family of 5, me, DH, DD15, DD11, DS6
Where: Coral Reef in Living Seas in Epcot
When: Sunday 9/21/08
What: dinner. 5 ordered the New York Strip Steak, DS6 ordered cheese
pizza w/ fries.
Approximate Price of Entrees: Free dining Plan. 18% Tip = $39.58 ($40.00) Would
have been $273.70 incl. tip.
Rate the following (1-5, five being the best!)
Food: 4
Service: 2 (we were in there 2 hours, much of which was spent
waiting for the waitress for drinks and then the check).
Atmosphere:
Okay for Children: Yes, there are 3 big aquarium windows.
Okay for Couples: Yes
Be Sure to Try: The steak was pretty good. The butterscotch creme
brulee was awesome! I think this is a must have!
General tips: We sat in the back row and could not see the aquarium
without raising up. If you could get a closer table that would be
really nice to watch the fish and turtles and sharks.
Extra Comments: This restaurant was very busy. It took the waitress
forever to come to our table for the very first time. Then we had to
wait everytime we needed another drink refill. Then we waited even
longer for her to bring the check. She was nice, just slow. Not
much choice on the kids menu, pizza, grilled fish, Mahi Mahi, grilled
chicken breast or mac'n cheese. Kids appetizers that come with the
plan are carrot & celery sticks or soup of the day.

Atmosphere: 5+
Okay for Children: Yes!
Okay for Couples: Absolutely
Be Sure to Try: Their drink selection!
General tips: We called far in advance to place our reservations but a family of four before us came without and made it in without much wait time. Try and request a seat near the tank - it is quite the view!
Dollarless tips: It's pretty pricey here so we skipped appetizers... other than that, good luck :)
Extra Comments: We are dying to come back here this summer because of the great food, our really helpful and cheerful waitress and the unbelievable fish tank you eat with. We have been disheartened to find out that for the Magic Your Way Dining Plan, the Coral Reef is now 2 points, so spend wisely.
Who: Buxbaum Family
Where: Coral Reef The Living Seas
When: August 7, 2007
What: Lunch
I had the appetizer 'Land' (double portion instead of Sea and Land ( i don't eat seafood..)
My entree - NY Strip
My Desert - The Chocolate Wave
the food was delicious. Everyone in our party of 6 said it was the best food we had our whole vacation.
However the best part for me was 1) my son's face when he saw the menu specically designed for him and his birthday and 2) My son's reaction when he saw scuba divers in the tank ahead of us. Then the incredulous look on everyone's face when the divers came to the glass in front of us and directed the restaurant to sing happy birthday to him :)
Approximate Price of Entrees: my entree was 22.00 - but we were on the DDP and used 1 TS each
Rate the following (1-5, five being the best!)
Food: 5
Service: 4
Atmosphere: 5
Okay for Children: Yes - the kids loved the fish in the tank and the typical choices of kids food
Okay for Couples: Yes this would be.. it is a large restaurant but the tables are set up so it doesn't feel large.
Be Sure to Try: The Chocolate Wave is to die for :)
Dollarless tips: On the DDP this is one of the best deals.
Extra Comments: You gotta book. the line was out to Nemo for people wanting to get in, and this was at 12:30 pm!
Who: The Nuzzo Family
Where: The Coral Reef
When: 4/24/04
What: dinner
Approximate Price of Entrees: $64.00 for 2 adults - 8.24 child
Rate the following (1-5, five being the best!)
Food: 5
Service: 5
Atmosphere:
Okay for Children: Yes - definately watched the fish and divers
all night.
Okay for Couples: Yes
Be Sure to Try: the South African Lobster Tail! Wow, worth every
penny! OH OH, and the Chocolate Wave. Chocolate lava cake with a
white chocolate center, served with chocolate sorbet on the side. I
was in heaven!
General tips: Definately get PS for this restaurant. We went with
friends who work for WDW, and they were able to get us in :-)
Dollarless tips: Ask about the Pairings. This is not a
dollarless restaurant, but this can help. You choose two entrees,
and pay only $13 for the lesser priced entree! We had Filet Mignon
and South African Lobster Tail. The other couple had the Lobster
Tail and the Grilled Mahi Mahi
Extra Comments: Outstanding!
