We were seated next to the tank and got to watch all the animals, atmosphere was amazing as well . The server knew how to do her job well and the steaks we had tasted amazing. I will eat there again.

Appetizer for two was good and the Mahi mahi . For dessert get the chocolate wave if you're a chocolate lover. Since I came for Thanksgiving..they had pumpkin bread pudding and it was delicious!

Dale Burkett

The braised ribs are succulent..kids cheese shells are super creamy...the desserts .....OMG!!! Da Bomb!!! Definitely get the chocolate wave and chocolate mousse !!! I mean hands down yummy! THANKS JOE!

Dylan Morris

Not only is the food AMAZING, but you get to see a huge marine aquarium along the back wall of the restaurant ; You sometimes even see scuba divers (real ones) in the aquarium and even a shark or two!

Sean Connolly

Might be a little pricy but the atmosphere is amazing. Book a reservation weeks in advance. Fills up fast way in advance!

Stunning views of all the marine life while you're eating amazing food ! Deffinatly one of my favorite Disney restaurants ! ????

Lee Bibby

Amazing setting , but take that away and what you have is the worst restaurant i have ever experienced on a disney park , service was slow ,2 of the meals weren't hot enough & waited an age for desert .

Clarke Duncan

Food and service very good in this restaurant , if you get Kevin from Ireland serving you, then lucky you as he steered us clear of a dish we wouldn't have enjoyed and on to some we loved :-)

Alyson Swerdloff

The swordfish is delicious! Careful ordering the add on lobster tail , it's very small and it's $10. Otherwise this place was fantastic!

Kevin Vincent

The mahi mahi is delicious. The tables near the aquarium are a bit cooler than those away from the aquarium but the view into it is incredible.

Leah Fritz

Baileys & Jack mousse is fantastic! The mahi mahi is really small. The NY strip came almost well when ordered med rare..def not worth $32, thank god for the dining plan. The atmosphere is awesome tho

Janice Trew

They just started a new menu! ! Grilled octopus , seaweed-wrapped tuna , and spicy shrimp for appetizers ! Yum! Changed steak a bit. Delicious!

shawn zhu

reservation is required because it's very popular. just go to any customer center of any theme park in disney world and ask for reservation

Mahi mahi was delicious.

Miranda Ostron Braden

Jose Jiménez

The seared Rainbow Trout is our of this world

John Kula

Always a great place when on the Disney meal plan.

Lee Gunter

Ask for a table near the tank. The servers are knowledgeable about the fish .

Preston

Amazing views of the water! Best crab cake EVER!!! And the NY Strip is awesome too!

Jennifer Hubbard

Lobster pasta was insanely yummy. You get a heaping bowl with huge chunks of lobster meat !

Rob Sammons

Great restaurant . Fresh food

Imelda Gzz

Seared Scottish Salmon it's GREAT!!! :) and for dessert the chocolate wave and the keyLime Mousse :) mmmm yomi!!!

Lucas Zarlengo

Used to be really good and one of my faves. Service was minimal and food was okay. Super loud environment too. While the aquariums are nice, the rest of the issues don’t make up for it. Go elsewhere.

Candice Cerrato

My 3 year old loved the aquarium . The pork belly was delicious.

Heather Macdonald

Try and sit near the tank!

Michael Conner

We haven’t found a bad dish yet.

Dave St Dennis

Amazing food but ladies be careful, Joe is bit of a creeper. Entirely to many brush ups on women.

Nate Folkert

are you watching the fish swim or are they watching you eat

Greg Pagans

good food and service; the closer, 'aquarium ' views in the back are nice.

Jose Ortega

Good food, slow service. Get a table next to the tank. Try the curry , it's spicy , but good!

StellaToni

Best seating is on the upper or mid-level. Food is so delish and the service is excellent

Michael Schuler

The Mahi Mahi was spectacular! As was the Bailey's and Jack Daniel's mousse ; get both!

Cookie Monster

Love watching the fishes , and divers while eating.

Victoria Skarbinski

If you order the steak , ask them to not make it so salty. By the end of your meal you'll feel sick if you don't. (crab cake app =two 1.75 inch cakes , shrimp app= 6 small shrimps ).

We heard reservations must be made months ahead. We were just going to "look" b4 park closed & they had space so we were seated, service excellent, 8 yo picky eater, they accommodated. Nice view . Read more

Doug G.

Great view of tank that can hold Space Ship earth

Sean Robison

Mahi was delicious.

Gena Sferrazza-Ancona

The view was great. If you saw it online it's not the same restaurant . Thinking that was the CA one. Dinner was not good at all. The steak was dry and the potatoes were too. The desert was awesome.

David D

The chocolate mousse dessert is delicious.

Kristen LaPointe

The blue glowtini drinks are good and the glow us nice in the dimly lit restaurant . Love the aquarium !

Rick Shimp

Great food, ask your server about hidden Mickeys in the restaurant .

Krystal H.

Service wasn't great. Food was good but not quite worth the price & they brought the wrong sides. If not for the aquarium it would've been really disappointing.

Howard Marquise

The seafood is wonderful but the NY Strip is to die for!

Clay Ransone

You are coming here for the view not the food. There are so many better places to eat in Epcot that will probably get in at your actual ADR time to boot.

Matt Martin

Call 407-WDW-DINE for reservations and make sure to ask for a table by the glass.

Paul Johnson

Any tables on bottom two tiers give good views into aquarium .

Matt Cason

Make sure you get a seat by the tanks or the view isn't as good. Food is decent, but overpriced (it is Disney) you are paying for the atmosphere.
