One of the prettiest restaurants offering one of the best
views can be found in the Future World section of Epcot at
the Living Seas. The Coral Reef offers diners a terrific
menu, all while enjoying viewing fish from the coral reef.
The windows are 8 feet high and the glass is more than 8
feet thick. But not to fret, your entrée selection will not
be coming from this tank!
Everything here is beautifully decorated in the calming
greens and blues of the ocean, and the set-up is in layers,
offering everyone a view of the aquarium. The menu changes
here, but it offers a wide selection of seafood fare, as well as
landlubber and vegetarian fare.
Since I am not a fish-eater, I went with Rosemary
Chicken. This incredible chicken breast was roasted with
rosemary and herbs, covered with a white wine sauce,
served on an almond rice bed, and complemented with an
assortment of fresh veggies in a light butter sauce. So it was not
bad on the calories; I saved those for dessert. John went
with shrimp pasta. This meal consisted of shrimp in an
Alfredo sauce atop of herbed pasta. He said it was quite
Good, and since I am not a shrimp-eater, I took his word for
it. They brought us a basket of some of the most delectable
herbed hard rolls I have ever tasted.
If you are dining here, make sure to save room for
dessert. The sinful ice cream on the shell was probably
10,000 calories (just a slight execration) and worth every
single calorie, carb, and fat gram. This consisted of white
chocolate ice cream, whipped cream, chocolate mousse, and a
chocolate and vanilla sea shell. I still drool thinking
about it.
They are open for lunch and dinner. They do accept major
credit cards, Disney dollars, or US$. They do offer priority
seating, so call 407/WDW-Dine up to 90 days from when you
would like to dine.
