We dined at Coral Reef on Thursday (1/23). I heard about this restaurant from a coworker last year who ate here. I love anything sealife, so of course I had to eat here.
So our Epcot day wasn't the best. Not awful, but I felt like it could've been better. It was rainy and cold, and midday I got a migraine so bad, I had to lay down at First aid for an hour. Since I wasn't feeling well, we decided to try and check in earlier than our reservation. Our reservation was at 6:50, we checked in at 5:40. They told us we would be about 45 minutes. We were fine with that and waited inside. The wait was only about 30 minutes.
When we got in, we sat in one of the booths. The restaurant was pretty busy. I ordered the clam chowder, crab cake, and Ceasar salad (I wanted to try different things). My friend ordered the Mahi Mahi entree. We both enjoyed our food. I'm normally picky when it comes to crab, but it tasted pretty fresh.
Pros:
- Place is well themed. I love that the ceiling had the ocean wave effects
- Watching sharks, sting rays, and fish swim by is pretty cool
- Host service was very nice. They did their best to accomodate us coming early
Cons:
- Loud
- Very busy..our waitress she had a lot of tables to manage
