How amazing is it that you can have a 5-star meal while attending an amusement park! The food was delicious. AND, the AC was a nice break after being out in the heat while riding roller coasters and what not. The service was impeccable. My group had made two reservations for 6 people each, but in the end only 8 of us attended the park. So, they accommodated us. At first, they sat us all together at a large table near the back of the restaurant. But we wanted to be near the windows to look out at the park. We didn't mind them breaking our party up between two tables of 4 so that's what they did. We sat side by side and could see the fountains, coasters, and what was going on. But let's get to the food! OMG. The dishes were top notch. Oh, and the drinks were as well. Everybody loved their meal. We ordered everything from a burger to the sea bass. There wasn't a dish that fell flat. I had their scallops over risotto. I didn't want to feel full as we still had some rides to hit. The portion was perfect. Oh, and the desert was not only delicious, but the presentation was adorable!!!! You have to try it while you're there. I don't remember the names of every dish, but you can't go wrong. The service was spectacular. read more

Atlantic was a fun way to end a long day at Universal! The restaurant is beautifully themed to make you feel like you're inside a giant underwater aquarium, with fish floating overhead and an immersive atmosphere that really adds to the experience. We came toward the end of the night and there was a bit of a wait, but since it was just the two of us, we were seated quickly. We asked for a table near the windows with a good view of the water fountains - so we could watch the nighttime fountain show, and it was worth it! It was so much more relaxing than standing in the crowds outside. The staff were warm and welcoming, and we kept it light with the ceviche, oysters, and a couple of drinks for a late snack. It was the perfect nightcap after a full day of attractions and walking. If you're looking for a peaceful place to enjoy the fountain show with good food and ambiance, I'd recommend ending your day at Atlantic! read more

We booked dinner here after a day in the park, it's a bit upscale inside but regular park wear seems to be accepted. The interior is nicely decorated with an aquatic theme. At times it apparently gets busy so we made reservations. The park was slammed but the restaurant had plenty of open tables. I had the espresso martini to drink which was pretty good! I also had tut steak which was tasty, Our waiter was very attentive and gave some good tips for the park. read more

After a long day of walking it's nice to have a sit down restaurant that's central to everything in the park. For appetizer we ordered the sweet and sour shrimp which could've been crispier. Our waiter recommended the bucatini and since I was just starving, anything sounded good. I was pleasantly surprised with the flavor of its creamy red sauce. The portions were small though. Overall: 4.2/5 read more

I was told to come to this restaurant when I was booking my trip here because they were good with allergies. They had shrimp with gf breading I could eat. It was delicious. I ordered the steak and lobster with mashed potatoes. Unfortunately, the steak was over cooked, not once, but twice. I was kind of disappointed, but they were gracious enough to fix it, and the chef came out the third time since he did it himself that time. The lobster was really good also. It was an entire half, which I hadn't eaten before. I've only ever had a tail or claw. The restaurant itself is beautiful and I was sat right next to the water I overlooking a portion of Epic. Definitely beautiful. There was a water show also with the fountains in the water. I may give this a shot again in the future. read more

Was tired after walking around Eoic Universe so reserved a table here. Glad I did. Ordered a Tomato Burrata salad for appetizer and Bucatini Alla Adriata pasta for entree. Absolutely delicious. I was especially delighted by how good the salad tasted. The prices were decent for the quality and for the fact this restaurant is inside a major theme park, Universal's Epic Universe. Overall, good quality of food, service, and decor. And if you eat at night like I did, you might be able to see the water show outside the windows at 9pm. read more

What an amazing dinner. We were exhausted after a full day at Epic Universal looking for an upscale restaurant. We found the Atlantic. What's an incredible atmosphere inside the restaurant with all Atlantic Ocean themes. We were welcomed by Chris our server, she was very polite and informative on the menu. I had the northern lights (see pic) cocktail to start which was very cool and delicious. I had the Lobster roll, my wife had the scallops, my kids had the chicken and a burger. Everyone was very happy with what they ordered. Chris was very attentive, she checked back with several times during the meal. This was an excellent experience that capped off a great day. Bathrooms were very clean. Even though it's upscale there is no dress code. read more

I was really excited to try this place, but it all just felt a little bit overly manufactured. Even the ambiance didn't hit me the way I thought it would. Two different times I waited at the host stand for a little while. Both times I went to the bar and waited for about 20 minutes without being greeted or getting a drink. It was not busy, though the bar is a circle so maybe that affected things? The second time I was waiting at the host stand, two young staff members were standing there discussing something about work--no problem. But it went on for like several minutes, no one looked up or acknowledge me, until I said something like should I come back? And the whole interaction after that was just like a little bit odd. My server was fine. But to be honest, I was extremely disappointed with the food. The lobster roll is served warm, which is in my thing, but hey, that's how they serve it. Not my major complaint. But all the butter and flavor were in this aïoli that kind of just leaked through the bread. Everything just kind of felt thrown together. And while there were huge pieces of lobster, it didn't sit well with me. Not to mention, the bread was falling apart. If you're going to pay a lot of money for a lobster roll, I'd like to see a little more loving in it. I got a gin melon highball drink. I think I've noticed it's recently been removed from the menu. Either way I would not suggest it. I actually couldn't drink it. It reminded me of medicine. I'm a huge gin girl. The waiter said I know not everyone likes gin and I was like no no gin is my thing, I used to work at a gin distillery. But she was kind enough to take it away and take it off my bill. I have yet to return, even though I've been to Epic quite a few times. If it was just one or another thing, I'd probably give it a second chance, but for two different occasions to be a complete wash just makes me very very hesitant. read more

The food was delicious and the staff was excellent. You have a beautiful view of the water and park. The interior is gorgeous. My kids have food allergies the Chef personally brought the food out. Francis handled our table and was absolutely phenomenal. She was on top of the allergies and has a great personality. She took a great family photo of us. I would definitely recommend this place. It was nice to have a sit down with the family in a quieter atmosphere than the park to wind down for a bit. Note: i cut into the steak before the photo it looked alot nicer lol Filet mignon, lobster roll, shrimp appetizer, grouper sandwich were all delicious read more

When you go to amusement parks you are not thinking about food. Often you just grab something on the go that is just ok but sustains you to keep walking through the park. This time, we decided to take a time to sit and eat and enjoy a nice place inside the park. We had a reservation at Atlantic, and they surprised us with how good everything was. Our expectations weren't high, again... park food. But once we got in, the place is really nice, decorated to match their ocean theme. Enough seating area to fit the volume of people the park gets, and with a beautiful window seating area, if you are lucky to get a table there (we were). They are very organized, and friendly. The menu is not big but has something for everyone. We decided to share their apple cider onion bisque and, again, were surprised how delicious it was. Poured at the table, the presentation was like a 5 stars restaurant. Then our grouper sandwich came out. Good size piece of fish, flaky and not overly breaded. The slaw salad that comes with it is a great addition, and the bread was amazing. A great place to visit for a break and delicious food. read more

We attended Atlantic in Epic Universe for the first dinner of an anniversary weekend kick off. If I'm being honest, I went in with underwhelmed expectations. This is a theme park restaurant, and the majority of the reviews I had read on various platforms cautioned that this restaurant was overpriced, under-seasoned, and slow in the service department. I am grateful for those reviews because the lack of hype in going here meant I wasn't built up for a let down. Instead, quite the contrary. This place was exceptional, not just for a theme park restaurant, but for a slightly fine dining/upscale experience as a whole. We were seated right by the window with perfect timing for the fountain show. Our server, (one of my countrymen...a British gent) was extremely informed about the dishes and a pleasure to chat with. We started with the jumbo lump crab cake which was very tasty. Not necessarily the best crab cake I've ever had, but a generous portion on a bed of corn purée and topped with a jicama and pepper slaw. For dinner I had the the P.E.I. mussels which IS in the running for best mussels I've had ever. The broth, a tomatillo tequila butter sauce with a cilantro pesto, was so flavorful and dynamic. I honestly could have eaten 2 servings with some chips and been very happy. My husband had the scallops with risotto which was perfectly cooked and very delicious, but the flavor of the moules broth stole the prize that night. We're not usually big dessert people, but we thought, when in Epic, why not? We had the Passion Fruit "Caviar" which comes in a cute little caviar tin. Beneath the passion fruit pearls a decadent dark chocolate and hazelnut base offers some richer notes to balance the fresh tartness of the passion fruit. I may or may not have licked the tin. As far as the bill, is it pricey? Yes if you're comparing it to hot dogs and hamburgers. No if you're comparing it to any other upscale place in Orlando. The pricing was fairly in line and reasonable for that, particularly for the quality and attention to detail. If you plan for only one sit down meal in Epic, let this be it! read more

My napkin was dirty. Jumbo Crab Cake Its should just be named a "crab cake" it tasted good, it paired well with corn sauce. Seared scallops Unfortunately underwhelming in flavors, every aspect of this dish felt as if it could be pushed more. The service was excellent our server was so knowledgeable and where to get desserts unique to the particular other food establishments in the park. The ONLY criticism i have in regards to the service was that i noticed our server treated the other tables with the lore and inspiration behind the restaurant, i dont think it was intentional tho read more

The view from the dining hall is fabulous. The tall floor to ceiling windows allow you to look out over the park as you eat, which made for such a fun experience. The service at the restaurant was very friendly and helpful. We arrived about an hour early for our reservation, and when we asked if we could dine sooner, they were able to seat us in about 10 minutes. Our waitress was very attentive. My favorite dish of the meal was the tuna tartare. I think I could eat three bowls of it, and that would be my top recommendation. I ordered the scallop dish, which came with four scallops, mushrooms arranged along the edge, broccoli, and additional garnish. I didn't feel that the garnish and broccoli flavors blended well with the scallops and Arborio rice. We also ordered the half pound lobster roll, which was very good. There was plenty of lobster meat in the roll, and we were able to butter it to our liking. Overall, it was a nice experience and a very cool dining spot thanks to its central location in the park. read more

After having a couple pretty bad meals at Epic Universe, my family and I decided to try one more for dinner, and it was quite good. Very nice interior with great views of the fountains. And the food was by far the best we had at the park. We had mussels, filet, crabcakes, and pasta, and, though the pasta was quite over seasoned, it was fine, and everything else was very good. Service was great, and they kept the ice water flowing after a long day at the park , read more

This was an outing for a couple birthdays, and we had an amazing time. At the last minute, I looked up a good place for us to eat while we were at EPIC universe, and the Atlantic was on the top of the list. Let me say if you are hungry and here you will not be disappointed! Everything was delicious and for those people who wanted non-seafood dishes they were willing to substitute chicken where they could We didn't have a bad drink or a bad appetizer or a bad moment. Our waiter was amazing funny and had wonderful pointers for enjoying our day. The restaurant has beautiful views of the entire park and looking out the windows are an absolute treat. When we make it back to EPIC, this place is high on our list to already have reservations in place. We got very lucky and we're able to make them day of as we were in the park. read more

We decided to bite the bullet and dine at Atlantic (I've been to Epic Universe around a dozen times, but I haven't ever made the stop in). The atmosphere was gorgeous in here! Reminded me of 1930's glamour mixed with a titanic vibe with all of the wooden finishes, naturally. Started off with the Northern Nights cocktail- light, refreshing, and lemony, it wasn't too sweet or too heavy on the alcohol (and very pretty as well). We had multiple appetizers like the spicy shrimp, tartare, and oysters. MAN, those oysters were fresh and divine! I would get a full dozen next time versus a half! My entree was the filet. While I wasn't a fan of the mashed potatoes, the filet was cooked to perfection and was a generous portion, sooooo I couldn't fit dessert. Steak was too good! I overall felt like Atlantic was worth the detour of a busy park day for some fine dining. Thank you To our server Alexis for a wonderful meal! read more

This restaurant is located in Epic Universal. In the middle of the park. You can actually see a big and beautiful sign that says -Atlantic We didn't make reservations and glad they had a opening for 2 people. We started with crab cakes. That was delicious and hubby got surf and turf and I got the pasta dish. All the food was great. But I think they burned my hubby steak but the cook inside was good - medium rare. Thank you for a great experience. Can't wait to go back and try more of the food. read more

I'd give it three stars because overall I wasn't super impressed. The service wasn't great as they weren't that attentive and forgot a few things we asked for. The food was decent, but not amazing. That said, the atmosphere was awesome, it felt like being underwater with fish "swimming" above you and surrounded by glass. The dishes were expensive, but that's kind of expected in the Epic Universe park. We had oysters, only four tiny ones for $22, and I got the grouper sandwich. It was good, but definitely not the best I've had. read more

Why 5 stars? Because this was definitely our favorite meal during our Disney/Universal weekend. --- --- --- We were ending our day at Epic and debating between eating somewhere at the park or grabbing something in Orlando on the way back to our hotel. Ultimately, my wife noted that Atlantic had lobster rolls and that sold us pretty quickly, as lobster rolls might be our favorite thing on Earth. So off we went. You hardly feel like you're at a theme park when you're inside here, other than the fact that you can see a couple of the rides through the glass windows. It's a pretty nice dining experience and you're very shielded from the ambient noise of the park. As for the food, we started off with the sweet & spicy shrimp, which was perfectly fine - a solid 3.5 stars. We then ordered the aforementioned lobster roll and the burger and then split them. The lobster roll was top notch - an easy 5-stars. I was fully expecting it to be skimpy in terms of the lobster, but it was the opposite. They really jammed every last ounce of meat into this thing and served it with a side of melted butter. It was what my hopes and dreams are made of. The burger was also very good - I would have been happy with it, had the lobster roll not existed, but it just got outshined by the fact that the lobster roll was so excellent. 4-stars. We finished with the Landlubber's Snickerdoodle Loot for dessert, which is served in a very kid-friendly manner. The problem is that mom and dad wanted to eat it so quickly that our son didn't get to try more than a bite or two. 3.5-stars. If you're coming to Epic, it's not going to be a cheap day, but I recommend splurging one final time and grabbing a meal here. read more

5 months later and this is STILL the BEST restaurant and now it is also officially the BEST bar at any Universal theme park. I came back a second time just for drinks. When you walk in, you walk literally into the bar at the top of the restaurant. There are a bunch of seats to order drinks, and only drinks. Today, I was feeling like espresso martinis. For $18 an espresso martini they're better than any drink you're going to get anywhere else. It's a legit espresso martini. Think Wine Bar George or The BoatHouse at Disney Springs. I had the bartender make mine with vodka, the normal way. Although there is a manhattan espresso martini on the menu. Love the a/c. Love the drinks. Love the food. I'll be back, lots and lots and lots more. read more

Definitely one of the best restaurants I've been to in a theme-park setting. Friendly service, delicious and well-presented dishes, and beautiful décor -- even better if there's a window seat. If you're spending the day at Epic, I highly recommend booking a reservation in advance. I did take the rating down a bit given they were a bit cheap about not offering a complimentary birthday dessert for the kids; after all, it is Universals. read more

After an entire day spent at Epic universe, we ended up here for dinner. We waited for about 5 minutes, no reservations but they were able to accommodate us. The restaurant is beautiful with eye-catchingly colorful fish decors. The bar area was spacious but we were seated at a quite corner in a half-moon booth. Our waitress was quick with the service and friendly. We ordered our drinks and our main courses right away since it was quite late and did not want to linger for too long. I had the sea bass and my husband had the burger. We both enjoyed our meal. My sea bass was prepared perfectly with excellent flavors. I ordered their piña colada panna cotta which came with coconut meringue dotted with pineapple drops. So good! It was definitely a fantastic way to end our day ar Epic. read more

Excellent lobster roll and chips. Nice ambiance. Best meal of a 3 day Universal trip.

A day in the newest Orlando theme park doesn't always prompt thoughts of a fine dining experience, but when your mother asks to attend an Epic Universe preview for Mother's Day (yes, this review is late), you say yes and also make sure to take her to a proper sit-down dinner. Atlantic did not disappoint, though theme park prices are certainly in full force here. A beautiful multi-floor restaurant overlooking the park's water features, our booth felt secluded and service was quick and kind. Drinks were worth writing home about, but specifically the sweet corn chowder and Prince Edward Island muscles certainly stole the show before our main dishes. My bucatini was a bit salty, but not overpowering. Certainly not an every day occasion restaurant, but a great addition to the high-end theme park dining experience list. read more

Came here for our anniversary dinner after an epic day at Epic Universe. Appreciate that they allowed for free and easy reservations; props to my husband for planning ahead! The waitstaff have kitschy sea-themed phrases, like "if you want to swim into the entree", etc. Food was good; the ahi tuna plantains were a bit salty, my corn chowder had a few random, oddly placed pepper notes. But overall, not bad. The dessert was the highlight- we got the biscoff and cake; presentation was very cute. read more

An Excellent lunch at Epic. We were having a nice day at the park when a storm was starting to roll in. Luckily our reservation at Atlantic was at about the same time. We came in out of the weather to a beautiful restaurant. the bar was very inviting but we had a table rez. after a small wait we were walked down to the lower table, right on the glass with the fountains. It was a really great view. Our server was over very quick, got our drinks and order in place and shortly after our bisque was out. We both agreed, that for the consideration of the restaurant being in an amusement park, it was exceptional soup. We split a fish sandwich, we didn't want to get too full before getting back at the rides. It also was darn good. I've had some pitiful sandwiches at restaurants at the parks, but this was solid. It was nice to take a slow moment in the middle of the day for a bite, and even better that it was a great experience. read more

This was our main meal at Epic Universal. It took about 35 minutes to get our table, but it felt good to sit down inside waiting. The decoration is beautiful. Glass fish circling above in a make believe sea. Really amazing to see. Plus the fountains are just outside, which adds more beauty to the ambience. Tiffany was our server, and she walked us through the menu. It was not extensive. But for theme park fare it was quite good. I had the tuna tartare as my starter. Delicious. My wife had the tomato burrata. Also very good. We both had the scallops, which were also really good. No need for dessert after that. We were both very happy we chose to eat here. Great atmosphere and quite good food. read more

Arguably the restaurant with the best view in a Theme park in Orlando. Nestled within Epic Universal Theme park, Atlantic doesn't leave anything to chance. Carefully curated menu with an obvious seafood flair. Their dishes are flawlessly presented and garnished to perfection. I have tried their scalops, oysters and crabcake and they were all fantastic. This is all topped with wonderful service. All in all a great and unique experience. read more

The experience started off a little rough, but got better over time. We showed up on time for our reservation and were escorted to a private booth that gave us a beautiful view of the park and some space away from people. There are a lot of tables sat next to each other, and I'm glad we did not sit there. It took around 10 minutes for anyone to stop by and about 15 minutes for cocktails to come out. That was frustrating, however whenever they eventually came, we enjoyed the AC and made a game plan for the rest of the day. My son ordered the burger medium and it came out almost well done; we didn't send it back because of how long everything took. The lobster roll was heavenly, but a tiny portion for $50. My husband enjoyed the crab cake. Elizabeth was a very nice server overall. I'm glad we came, but I would do quick service next time over a $200 lunch where we barely got anything. read more
