Coral Reef or Alfredos?

Coral Reef or Alfredos??
I know that these are completely two opposites but I am looking for opinions on both.
We are wondering which is better... I looked at both menus and we love them both but now im stuck on which one i want to pick.
Please help a fellow Dis'r out!

I'm going to both! I've been to Alfredo's before and loved it, and this will be our first time at Coral Reef. I think the atmosphere will be more impressive than the food!

I've never been to Alfredo's, but would not do Coral Reef again. We just ate at the Coral Reef on May 11th and it was a bad experience. Even with an ADR, the wait was 35 minutes for dinner. (This was just to get the first available table, not even "tankside".)

Once we entered the restaurant, we were surprised to find about a quarter the tables empty... not sure why such a long wait.

The big tanks are fun to watch, but service was slow. There were screaming and crying children everywhere. It is a very loud place! The food was good, but it was hard to enjoy it because of the circumstances. Our kids, ages 2.5 and 5, really liked watching the fish and scuba divers in the tank, though.

If you're looking for a quiet, romantic dinner; please don't choose Coral Reef. On the other hand, if you're looking for a family-friendly spot, Coral Reef isn't really a good choice either because young children do not have the patience to endure the long wait for a table or food that we experienced. Skip it!

Have a great trip!

We've been to both and I can't say I was super impressed with either. If I had to choose though, I'd choose the Coral Reef over Alfredo's any day of the week.

We have been to both, find Alfredo's just ok, always have at least one fantastic dish at Coral reef, the lobster bisque comes to mind .

Like the atmosphere of both, but keep going back to CR
