We've eaten at Coral Reef twice - most recently Dec. 20, 2010.
It was not a good experience. The server screwed up the order, we were on the last tier, far from the tank and at a tiny table (there were 4 of us).
I think the food is inconsistent and the restaurant is over-rated.
We've never tried R&C but it appeals to me much more - hopefully we'll give it a try sometime. I wouldn't bother with CR - good luck.
