Coral Reef

[Jakesmom1]

This was one of two special dinners we had at WDW to celebrate our 15th Wedding Anniversary.

I have to say it was probably one of my favorite restaurants. We had a table in front of the Fish tank which was awesome. Our waiter was wonderful, drinks never got close to being empty, he was right there with another one. Very attentive and fun.

Since it was our anniversary he brought us complimentary champagne. Ummmm.

For starters we had the Lobster soup, ( I guess I was a little too close when I took this pic.) It was delicious, lots of chunks of lobster.

Then we had the Grilled NY Strip,

and the Grilled Chicken breast.

My DH and I loved the steak, cooked perfectly, My DS loved the chicken as well.

For desert we had the Chocolate Wave, and the fruit with sorbet.

The chocolate wave was heavenly, and my DS really enjoyed the fruit and sorbet.

This was a wonderful meal, and we will be sure to go back again.

Nice review. I was a little hesitant after reading some reviews but our last visit here was also wonderful. The steak was the best and its just a fun place to go.

Thanks for the review! I've never been here, and it's our first dinner res. when we go down there in August on our honeymoon! Can't wait!:)

[suzimar57]

great review and photos - brings back some good memories...

DH loved loved loved the NY strip - your photo made him smile! :goodvibes

Our DS's will choose the steak..My DH and I for lunch want "lighter" option, although the steak looks great!

Anyone have either caesar salad with chicken or shrimp or barbecued salmon sandwich there lately for lunch?

Also, if one of my DS(on plan as adult) wants "kid dessert" like ice cream sundae, can he do it instead of adult dessert option?:

Thx...:rotfl2:

Food looks good. Dumb ?'s is the pic of the 20 or 30's dollar steak from coral Reef? Does the meal come with a salad, bread & drink? I know the dessert is included with dd plan. Just wondering as i'm comparing ddp vs oop

Thanks for sharing. Glad you enjoyed Coral Reef.

The crab legs are no longer on the menu at Coral Reef. Just thought you should know.

If it is a pic of the dinner steak then, yes, it is $32.99 but it is 12 oz, great steak. The meal comes with bread, salad and drink are extra. If you are on the DLX or PLAT plan then you get an app, which you could get a salad, just on the DDP then no app included

At dinner they only offer the 12 oz steak, and it was priced at $32.99.
It did not come with salad, but we did get rolls,and we did have the lobster soup which was wonderful also. We were on the dining plan, and only had to pay for the soup and the tip.

I loved the chocolate wave when i went there! i was younger so i was not a big fan of a lot of what was on the menu but i specifically remember that dessert and how good it was!!

[MaryPop888]

Curious to try the chocolate wave. Looks yummy. :)

[Manymice]

Your food pics are great! My mouth is watering as I type this. Thanks for posting the report, you've reminded me of how much we enjoyed CR :thumbsup2

[mrstomrice]

Who do you e-mail to get the diver and menus? I think ds would love this! Also, any advice on sitting next to the aquarium? I asked at the time I made my ADR, but was told to wait until I checked in for my ressie. Thanks!

You call the Coral Reef directly, and they give you the email address to send your pictures to. As far as sitting next to the Aquarium, we didnt ask for it, they just gave it to us. :woohoo: I think if you use the diver they make sure you are by the Aquarium, because your diver comes right up to the window by your table. Our reservation was to late for the diver, because they stop at 7pm.

Would you happen to have the number for the Coral Reef ? I have called a number for a lady Debbie ( a number on this site) but I never heard back from her and am sure that an e-mail would be better.

The number I called is 407-939-3463, I asked to speak with a manager, and I forgot his name, but he was wonderful.

I too had tried to call Debbie with a number I had found here on the boards, but she was on vacation and didnt call me back until the day after my reservation while I was at Disney. :lmao:

I am glad that you enjoyed your meal here. Our experience on our last trip was not so great.

Everything from the hour wait for our table, great amount of noise, poor service to the hair in my daughter's food.

We are going to give it a go again on our next trip. We are hoping for a better experience. :)

Is their an extra cost for the diver and personal menu at lunch!

The crab legs are no longer on the menu at Coral Reef. Just thought you should know.

Can anyone confirm this? Is this really recent?

[glokozar]

I thought I read somewhere that the crab legs were now included. I think they sometimes change the menu too.

Ate here for the first time last year for the CP package and my son thought it was his best meal. Going back again this year.

Sorry,they were not on the menu the night we were there.
But maybe they do change the menu often.
