Disney4me Posted Monday at 02:50 PM Report Posted Monday at 02:50 PM This Disney World restaurant finally has a reopening date! Coral Reef Restaurant There are tons and tons of Disney World restaurants, and not only do we keep track of all of them to see new menus, openings, closures, renovations, and more, but we have also eaten at every single one. Yep, we’ve eaten at all Disney World restaurants, so when we share food reviews, you know it can be trusted. Well, one of the restaurants we feel… a bit conflicted about… finally has a reopening date in EPCOT, the mecca of Disney World food. Coral Reef Restaurant is closing on September 8th and is currently showing reservations for November 4th. It’s closing for planned maintenance and refurbishment, and the ability to book reservations in November is a great sign that it will open in just a few months. Coral Reef Restaurant Now, why do we have mixed feelings on Coral Reef? Well, one of the neat things is that it’s completely surrounded by aquarium walls, and you can watch tons of fish and sea creatures while you’re enjoying your meal — your meal of seafood. Some members of our team feel a bit weird eating fish in front of fish, and you know, it’s not for everyone. Aquarium walls The restaurant is attached to Sea Base, the massive aquarium in The Seas in EPCOT. The whole restaurant is dark, with an under-the-sea theme, and it can almost feel a little hidden. Coral Reef Restaurant We’ve tried a lot of different meals here throughout the years, and not every dish has been a winner. We generally find the meals to be just okay, not dishes we completely rave about, seafood or otherwise. Coral Reef Coconut Fried Shrimp and Chicken Wings Should this restaurant be completely off your list? Nope! We find that there are restaurants for everyone, and if you’re looking for a quieter, darker, and more relaxing restaurant to escape to in the middle of your EPCOT day, this might be a great fit. If you have aquarium lovers, they might enjoy staring at all the creatures during the meal, too. It’s also great if you’re looking for dishes that you’re likely familiar with and want something consistent. Coral Reef We’ll be keeping an eye out for a new menu at the restaurant and whether the refurbishment is worth another visit.
