I loved it so much can't find it on the menu but if they still have it heavily recommend the kids fettuccine Alfredo. The cast members were so sweet and accommodating to our group that consisted of a vegetarian, gluten allergy, a need for vegetables to be cooked extremely well, and an allergy to artificial sweeteners. I would note if you want to be seated in a spot where you can see all the themeing in the fish tank you might want to request that but it is not guaranteed. Amazing themeing throughout but the extravagance of certain drinks are exaggerated in our party there were drinks with boba and color changing ice cubes and one sad member of the table got flavored lemonade in a plastic Ariel cup. The kids meals will likely be enough food regardless of age the kids meal was at least enough for a 5"6 teenager with a large appetite so most likely it will feed all. There is an aquarium and a play area for kids to run around in so your not stuck sitting on a bench with nothing to do while waiting for a table and it has Air conditioning in the restaurant and aquarium. I couldn't recommend this more and hope this increases popularity of this restaurant
Pros:
- Accommodating for allergies - Air conditioned - Kids meal proportions are enough for all ages - Aquarium and play area open for use during wait times - Amazing fettuccine Alfredo - Sides as good as main dishesCons:
-Not guaranted prime viewing of fish tank just an ability to see it - Some drinks eloquence is exaggerated in menu and is much more bland compared to the other drinksReviewed by Iluvvacations Review Date: 07/07/2023

I don’t usually recommend eating at a table service in Epcot, because it’s Epcot; however, if you have anyone in your party who loves marine animals you should eat here. When you get to the host stand ask for a table by the tank! The food was much better than I anticipated. It’s always compared to Red Lobster, but the Mahi Mahi I had was 1000 times better than anything at Red Lobster. Our server was fabulous and knew a lot of facts about the aquarium and the animals within it. And the AC is fabulous!
Pros:
Fish swim by you as you eat! Good food.Cons:
It’s in Epcot and there’s already a ton of good food in this park.Reviewed by Anonymous Review Date: 04/20/2022

This was the best experience I have ever had at a Disney restaurant. Our server Johnathon was amazing, and our food was INCREDIBLE. I really recommend the salmon and steak! The views of the aquarium were beautiful and was all around a really fun time!
Pros:
Views of one of the biggest Aquariums in the world Spectacular food options on adult menuCons:
Not many great options for picky eaters on the kids menu Reservations are almost always a mustReviewed by Anonymous Review Date: 02/26/2021

I got the side cesar salad and added chicken. I got a whole chicken breast and it was the best chicken I have ever had. Not dry, seasoned perfectly. I've had the steak before too and it never disappoints. The Moulton lava cake is the beat dessert by far! The views are amazing and the staff was great!!!

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:

We really enjoyed our most recent meal here. Sitting right by the tank changes your experience of this restaurant. Our food was very good and very tasty. (Seafood places can sometimes be bland.) The mani-mahi was just right! The service was very good and very conscientious, as one person in our party has a severe health concern, although not an allergen. They gave his meal the extra attention needed, without dismissing it - we've heard this before in other places: "it's not an allergy." While true that it wouldn't bring about an instant 911 call, it would cause very serious problems within an hour or two. So thank you WDW, and the chefs at Coral Reef. Although it seems noisy, it's a muted noise. We've only ever had great food and great service. The lighting is designed for maximum viewing, but this place would lend itself very nicely to having a little corner having dimmed lighting, but that's because this place speaks to the romantic in me!
Pros:
Whole wall aquarium views, and tasty food.Cons:

If you're looking for a unique experience, this is an excellent restaurant to go to. Every seat in the restaurant faces a very large aquarium tank - just awesome. For my meal I had lobster bisque, grilled mahi-mahi, and the chocolate dome for dessert. Everything tasted great. This restaurant was very accommodating for gluten allergies. Everyone at the table enjoyed everything that they ordered. Highly recommend this place!
