Biergarten or Coral Reef?

Which one do you like better and why?

We've been to Coral Reef and do like it, even though the food can be hit or miss.

But we have no point of comparison of CR to Biergarten since we've never been to Biergarten, so would love to hear your opinions.

CR because the food and the dining experience is pretty cool and they have a variety of dishes for everyone. I haven't been the Biergarten either, would probably like the food but I don't care for the table arrangements as you have to sit with other guests.

I've been to CR once, it's been a long time. I've been to Bier a few times and have always enjoyed it!

Last time we went was at Christmas time and the entertainment was a hit with our then 4 year old!

We're debating about going again...but we'd like to try other resturants.

tough one. I like Biergarten a bit more. Its fun. The food is solid, but not great. Plus, there is something special about eating in WS

I really enjoyed Biergarten. Entertainment, good food, nice staff, Disney! The pork shank gratin was really yummy!

Very different experiences. One is under the sea inspired while watching a huge aquarium and the other is like being in an outdoor German celebration. What type of food do you like? We love Biergarten - the food is good, the entertainment is great (entertainment is only during dinner, not lunch) and the atmosphere is well themed. The only downfall is sharing a table with other guests if you are party of less than 6. Coral Reef is good, but a little more formal.

We have had good experiences at both, but would probably pick Beirgarten.

We've eaten at both several times through the years. As others have said the BG food is ok, not great. But the entertainment is alot of fun. We actually enjoy sitting at a table with folks we do not know. Have had some great conversations. CR was a disappointment in so many ways each time we ate there. We go back hoping for a change. The only positive I can say is watching all the fish in the tank. The food, for the price, was not good. The service was among the WORST we've experienced anywhere, not just at the World. It'll probably be another 10 years until we go back.

That's a toughie. Though for our week in October, we've booked Coral Reef for dinner but not Biergarten. The last two times I've booked ADRs (or back then 'Priority Seating') for the latter, they weren't needed. I found that you can just normally walk into Biergarten many times during the day and get seated. Not so with Coral Reef.

Hence - I don't make ADRs for Biergarten anymore but if we end up wanting to go, we just roll up to the door.

WeBiergarten!!! It's a lot of fun and we thought the food was really good. Since you've already been to Coral Reef why not try something new?! You can blame me if you don't like it!!!!

I haven' t eaten at Corral Reef yet, but will in November. (no slots left for Marrakesh) I did eat at Biergarten before, and will never eat there again, only because I didn't enjoy the food (cold, not to my taste) and I felt really rushed. The entertainment was really good though.
