For the entertainment value, Coral Reef; ask for a table with a good view of the tank. You don't need to be right up against the window but you'd prefer not to be the very top/back row.
For the food, Captain's Grill. And if you are on the DDP, this is one of the restaurants that offers a 'prix fixe' option where with 1 DDP credit you can get an app, entree, and dessert (very limited group of each to choose from, no substitutions - but the group contains some pretty good choices).
We've been to both, and if you've never been to either, I say go to Coral Reef... Of course, for our upcoming trip, we're booked at Capt Grill and not CR, so I guess you can't lose!
I just didn't enjoy my experience at coral reef last week. Server wasn't very friendly, food wasn't great, and the chocolate wave I was looking forward too wasn't what I expected. Sorry, I'd go with a different place.
We've been to both restaurants several times, and 3 of my family members and I agree that our choice would be Coral Reef. Capts. Grill can be more inconsistent food- and service-wise. We also appreciate the atmosphere at CR more.
CAPTAINS GRILLE!! The food was really gross at Coral Reef. Although if you have never been to Coral Reef I would probabaly just suggest going there just because of the atmosphere. It really is a beautiful restaurant, I just wasn't impressed with the food!
What does the "prix fixe" option mean... I have done the DDP before and never heard of this. We are thinking of doing the Captains Grill (have been there b/4) and liked it.
