Any "Positive" Reviews on The Coral Reef?

**llama** · 06-03-2006

Now that I'm getting the "hang" of this Dining Plan thing, I'm beginning to feel like a kid in a candystore.

My dd and I were discussing which restaurants we'd like to try out and she'd really like to try the Coral Reef.

We were there ages ago and I found it "ok" - but have to admit that a lot of my impressions of a meal are based on my dh's attitude about the place. If he feels it's "over-priced", then it reflects in my mood and I don't enjoy it as much as I wanted to. We read the menu and it actually appealed to us (we're big fish and seafood eaters.) Has anyone had a positive experience in the last year or so?

Wow Janice, not one word, good or bad.

I know - maybe I'll have to be a fearless leader and try it.

I'm thinking yes, you may have to stick our your neck and be the royal taster. If we don't hear from you after the planned ADR there, we know that you have expired and that's review enough

I was going to try CR, but I was advised not to, so I can't be of much help.

**ddoll** · 06-03-2006

Well our visit was more than a year ago, but I do have some positives to share with you:

The lobster bisque was delicious.
The view of the giant fishtank was certainly worth the visit.
It was nice and cool and dark in there, a lovely respite from the heat.

**Dana** · 06-03-2006

Go for it Janice...I am so proud that you are planning.

disneyguy · 06-03-2006

I've heard its gotten better than it used to be.... Go for it!

palmickey · 06-03-2006

I haven't been there in the last year but we ate there in October 2004. We enjoyed it, in fact we are going back in October to try it again.

KarenWDWCP · 06-03-2006

I am planning on trying it on the DP in August.

The biggest complaint I have always heard was that people thought it was overpriced. I figure with the free dining plan, that complaint goes right out the window, so I am hoping for a yummy meal!

boo's_parents · 06-03-2006

We just went in May (me, DW, DD-7, DD-5). We did the dining plan, so it wasn't overpriced from that perspective (1 sit down meal). The meals were excellent (from appetizer, to main dish, to dessert). Service was great, view was spectacular. As the meal progressed, we saw sharks, a sea turtle, and then a bunch of divers came by. We've eaten at most of the restaurants at WDW and I'd have to say it was one of our best dining experiences. The kids "build your own sundae" was a great finish to their meals.

kizzmitt · 06-03-2006

We recently ate there also, it was OK. Not the best, not the worst! I was expecting it to be better than it was.
