I think I had a skewed experience for Coral Reef. I made a reservation during the pandemic a few months ago, and there was hardly anyone in the restaurant. Maybe four other parties? I was seated right up against the glass and had a sea turtle hanging out with me for half of my time in the restaurant. Ordered and shared the steak and it was decent. Not the best I've had in Disney but it had a drizzle and the potatoes were really good. I know people complain about the food here, but I legit had an amazing time! 10/10 would eat here again for the view alone.
Pros:
THE VIEW. I had a sea turtle next to me for half of my time in the restaurant.Cons:
Steak was decent, could have been better.Reviewed by Anonymous Review Date: 01/21/2021

Tasty food and a fun environment that is tough to beat.
Pros:
The aquarium is constant entertainment and the food has been pleasing every time. Desserts are the icing on the cake;)Cons:

I have been a frequent visitor to this restaurant over the years and for the first time in over a decade the chefs at Coral Reef has once again showed their best culinary skills and impressed this writer.
The blackened Salmon was incredible.
Lightly Blackened, Shiitake Sticky Rice, Soy-Lemon Grass Beurre Blanc.
It's not everyday I get a good meal in the parks and to see the chefs creativity take a simple dish and bring a modern twist in a dish served Asian style in a crème sauce.
One of the best dishes I have had on this trip so far.
desert was the Warm Vanilla Custard-filled Strudel.
it was alright, served with ice cream making it a light dish.
overall a great place to start a must do culinary experience.
Pros:
Great atmosphere, friendly staffCons:

We have always enjoyed eating here when in Epcot, and this time was no exception. My son was thrilled with the addition of the whole lobster as an entree option, and I had a very good shrimp and grits. The biggest surprise was how much my family enjoyed the chocolate wave for dessert. After many cakes for the week, they still held this as the best dessert of the vacation.
Pros:
cake and lobsterCons:

We all agreed that this was our best meal of our trip! Connie was our server and she was great! My DH and DS18 had the baked stuffed lobster, and they loved it! They were served with roasted fingerling potatoes and asparagus. My DS15 had the lobster mac&cheese with spinach. He called it the fancy mac&cheese and loved it. I had the shrimp and grits. The presentation was beautiful! the dish had just enough heat without overpowering the rest of the flavors. Wonderful! DH and I had lobster bisque instead of dessert. The 2 teens had the wave, which is their fav dessert. We love this restaurant and love the tank and seeing all the marine life.
Pros:
Love the decor and aquarium, great service, and wonderful foodCons:

For some reason this place doesn't get the credit it deserves. Steak/seafood themed with a good food selection. Super cool to see all the sea-life in the aquarium. You can almost always get a reservation. This is kind of a sleeper restaurant, I think because maybe the food is good but not nearly as exotic and other things you can get in Epcot. It's worth at least walking in and looking at the aquarium if you want to eat somewhere with more exotic options in Epcot
Pros:
Huge aquarium to look at while dining, can usually get a reservation even last minuteCons:
More exotic locations to eat for the food, may get a table with a bad view of the aquariumReviewed by EmmaM28 Review Date: 09/28/2018

We thoroughly enjoyed our meal here - 2 adults and a 2 year old. The food was of a high quality and our server was excellent. Having lunch was a nice way to break up a busy Epcot day.
