Fodor's Review:

One of this restaurant's walls is made entirely of glass and looks directly into the 6-million-gallon Living Seas aquarium, where you can get tantalizingly close to sharks, stingrays, groupers, tarpons, sea turtles and even the occasional scuba diver. And with a three-tiered seating area, everyone has a good view. Edible attractions include pan-seared tilapia served with a crab cake; ahi tuna lightly grilled; and Dublin-style mussels and clams steamed in a Harp beer broth. Crab fritters with spicy marinara sauce make a great appetizer. You might finish off with Kahlua tiramisu in raspberry sauce.

Excellent

This place was remodeled and is now endlessly better than before. We had a lovely meal with great service, and the giant aquarium is always a delight. I would highly recommend visiting this restaurant.

A must for families.

If your on the meal plan then spend one of the sit downs here. The check after 3 adults and one child was $180 so it definantly paid off. It's amazing what the atmosphere does to everyone. Lights are low, ambient sounds wash over you and more often than not the children quiet themselves (possibly to not scare the fish?) You can also request divers to put messages on the glass for children or for that special someone.

Great seafood in a relaxing atmosphere.

The food is very good. Lots of seafood choices. The lobster bisque is a must try. This restaurant is great for adults and children. It is quiet for a Disney restaurant. The aquarium seems to memorize children so parents can eat their dinner in peace.
