We booked a lunch reservation because we couldn't get into the restaurant we wanted and I am so glad we got Coral Sea. It is a hidden away place for lunch,
Pros:
Atmosphere is excellent and the aquarium view is awesome to see while you dine. The food was excellent there, staff very friendly and helpful in accommodating our requests.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:

My bestie and I ate lunch here yesterday (Dec 12, 2018) as part of the Candlelight Dining Package. It was our first visit to Coral Reef, and we loved it! The restaurant is gorgeous. The lobby isn't as \"ornate\" as the dining area itself. So when you finally enter the dining room, it's beautiful. We sat on the 2nd level of tables near the tank, and we saw tons of fish, rays and more. My bestie has to eat Gluten Free, and she was happy to see they offered lots of options. We both had the Lobster Bisque which was creamy and delicious. For entree I had the Shrimp N Grits, which I liked but for my taste it was a bit spicy. But the shrimp were fresh and not the frozen kind. My bestie had the Mahi-Mahi, which she'd never eaten before. But she ended up cleaning her plate! For dessert I had the Turtle Cheesecake, which is acutally a deconstruced dish, but beautifully presented. And my bestie had the Chocolate Wave, which she said was very rich but still very good. I'm so glad I finally ate here and that the food was excellent. I definitely would go back again!
Pros:
Food, atmosphere, restaurant is gorgeous, well paced mealCons:

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:

When the two of us eat here we ask to wait for a table by the aquarium to open up. One thing is hard, it is hard eating fish while these fish are looking at you. We don't order lobster here anymore, the two times we ordered it, it was not very good.
Pros:
aquarium viewCons:
some of the seafood is not very goodReviewed by Sandy Review Date: 09/30/2018

Think this place is way overrated. Went their with my family of 4. Got a great table right next to the glass. Enjoyed ourselves till the food came. Mediocre at best. It was great for the atmosphere, but the food was a letdown. Nice to check it out once, but won't be back.

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.
