Keep or dump Coral Reef for lunch?

[ejsmomma]

After reading the reviews of places you would not return/dislike Coral Reef seem to come up quite a bit.
Would you dump for the Coral Reef ADR for lunch?

I have 2 boys (~3 and 4.5 at the time of our trip).

If yes, what would you try to get in its place?

we ate there last year and enjoyed it. It was my husbands favorite meal. The kids loved watching the turtle swim around. I would go just for the atmosphere!

We are there last year with dd8 and ds5. The kids enjoyed having 'real' food (they had salmon, rice and green beans). And, the fish were great entertainment while we waited for our meals.

We're planning to go back again in December.

My family loves Coral Reef, I would go to Allears and check out the kids menus and make sure there is something there your kids will enjoy food wise, atmosphere wise I think kids love the tanks! We enjoy the food! Remember everyone has different tastes and almost every restaurant has good and bad reviews! IMHO just try it, you wont know till you do!

We love Coral Reef - it's one of our favorites. The food is excellent & the atmosphere is great with the aquarium view. We've eaten there the past two Septembers when our son was 2 & 3 and we've really enjoyed our meals there - can't wait to eat there again this September .

Coral Reef was the BEST meal I had last trip! I got the creamy lobster soup and the grilled mahi mahi...so delish! YUM!

We're going...despite the really bad reviews I've read. After years of avoiding the 'expensive' dining options, I'm taking full advantage of the free DDP this year.

I say try it for yourself. Everyone has a different experience and you'll never know whether YOU like it or not without trying it. We're going for the first time in September even with the bad reviews and if nothing else, the atmosphere will be great if not the food.

We've gone to Coral Reef several times & never been disappointed. Steak &
the mahi mahi are both favorites for us. Hope you enjoy it.

Those of you that enjoyed the food...what did you order? Thanks!

Good choice to keep it. You kids will love the activity sheet and the fishies. You will really love the break inside the park. I had no idea how good it would feel to get away for an hour or two yet still be in the middle of the park. Plan to do the Nemo and Crush ride/show right before or right after lunch; they are all in the same complex.
