    Had lunch here and was seated in front of the tank. Server was helpful in finding foods that met my dietary needs. Salad and dessert were excellent.

    The inside is very nice and pretty and enjoyable. But the potato in the seafood boil is completely raw and not cooked. Mentioned to the server but the kitchen try to tell us that it is just the way it is. And it was because we have a preferences that we think it is hard to bite. Really cant accept that they try to find excuse and blame us for their mistakes. The overall food quality is also bad compared to other options nearby. Tastes similar to Costco food. Seems they have failed to uphold the standards because people keep coming for the sharks and turtles.

    Lori was an amazing server who took care of me and my friends. She made our first experience at coral reef very very memorable. She is very knowledgeable about her job and you can tell she loves her job.

    This place is one of our favorites! Somehow it gets bad reviews, but we’ve never had anything but a great meal. Our waiter last night said he’s worked there for 24 years! The food is extra good, generous portions and amazing atmosphere. Husband had the snapper, which was delicious, and I had the short rib-not exactly seafood but super good and I would order it again! Go!
