Great Setting

by scarletreality

So the setting is awesome with a huge aqarium making up one of the walls of the restaurant. You can even see SCUBA divers swimming around and neat sea life (including sea turtles!).

The food is so-so, but it is worth it for just one dinner point from the Disney Dining Plan. I'm not sure that I would pay cash to eat here. We ordered the stone crab as our appetizer...and let me tell you...the color was not at all appetizer nor what normally looks like! Try the chocolate lava cake though...it's awesome and they will even give you the recipe card. The service is good, but very quick (almost like they are rushing you out).

• Pros: Setting, Lava Cake, Service
• Cons: Seafood

Be one with the fishes...

by bluehensfan

This popular Epcot restaurant serves primarily seafood in a theater-style restaurant with large windows overlooking the salt water tank with fishes, turtles, rays, and sharks eying you while you eat. Be sure to ask for a table down front for the best view. Starters include top notch shrimp cocktail, but only had three jumbo shrimp in it. Entrees included a pretty good salmon and a fair other fish (perhaps sea bass?) but both were subpar to what was served over at the Flying Fish in Disney's Boardwalk resort. The chocolate mousse dessert was fair but overall the meal was not worth the price of being eating fish while being watched by them simultaneously.

$17 for microwaved Mahi and boxed mashed?!

by astartez

All I can say is that the ambience and service at this place rocked! However, having lived in both New England and the Pacific Northwest, I know good seafood, and this was not up to par. I got the grilled Mahi Mahi over "garlic" mashed potatoes with a shitake sauce. The fish was definitely microwaved, possibly put onto the grill for those extra special grill marks for about 10 seconds. The "garlic" mashed potatoes were most certainly from a box, and the was salty enough to think it was just one of those Knorr seasoning packs with some mushrooms thrown in. TERRIBLE! Oh yeah, did I mention that I paid $17 for this crap?

• Pros: Ambience
