- JDJoseph Drewes3 days ago5.0Amazing experience for the second time in the last few months. Get the in house prepared Fettuccine, Grilled Snapper or Short Rib. Service is excellent and the aquarium is worth the experience in itself. Sharks, stingrays and even scuba divers right in front of you during your meal. Kids loved it too. Elevated food.
- MBMatthew BellJan 5, 20264.0You can't beat the imaginative character of this spot. Great place, and excellent service. Affordable too, for Disney -- only marginally higher than quick service for a great sit down experience.
- JOJP OwensDec 27, 20255.0Highly suggest reservations! The atmosphere is amazing, portions less than expected for the price but very good food. Staff are very friendly and glad to tell you about the fish swimming by your table.
- ACAmber CDec 22, 20255.0Recently I saw a ton of people on social media discussing how horrible coral reef was. I was shocked because I had always liked it, but hadn’t eaten there in a few years so my family and I decided to give it another try today. I’m not sure what everyone was complaining about, but we all highly enjoyed our time there. The pineapple bread - wonderful. It was flakey and warm and delicious. I had the shrimp fettuccine - flavorful and delicious and the sauce was perfect - not too thick and overbearing. My husband and daughter also enjoyed their meals (surf and turf and the seafood boil). It is a beautiful restaurant, our server was super attentive, and the food was excellent (and came out very quickly the week of Christmas none the less!) Would highly recommend!
- M2Manoln 2Dec 16, 20253.0We had reservations for Coral Reef. The decor is nice and you get a view of the aquarium. We had a very nice and personable waiter Paul, but that's where the good experience ended. The woman who actually brought out our food (Katy or Kaly), large woman, thick glasses, brunette, two buns in the back of her hair slammed our food down at the table so hard and fast that the food almost slid off my plate and onto my lap. The grilled chicken in the kids meal was dry and flavorless. The broccoli was basically raw. The shrimp fettuccine had no seasoning or butter. Several of us got the braised short rib, which came highly recommended. It was good. Food was very pricey for the quality. Overall, there are just too many other good restaurants at Disney to come here again.
