Seafood was fine, but everything else lacked flavor. Even items that were billed as spicy, like the shrimp appetizer, was bland. The filet mignon was quite fatty and had no taste at all. Ambiance is probably better when the fountains are on. Oh - and I cannot stress this enough - DO NOT order the bread. It's $8 for four thin slices of white. Our waitress tried to warn us, but alas, we stormed ahead. read more

Welcome is very theme-park; take it or leave it; from nice very young people. Server Mike is more professional and friendly (Thanks Mike!!). Cocktails Drinks are very expensive (Theme Park). We asked for natural lemonade but no luck; only Fountain. After seeing menu; we ordered three appetizers; the crab cake is good size but nothing special, the plenty Sweet & Spicy little Shrimps also OK, but closer to Costco / BJ's frozen Asian bags. The Oysters Valentina are also Ok, but only 4 small oysters for $21. Ambiance is a good respite from the park but lunch of only three appetizers with tap water and tip was $76. Not a good value. read more

Atlantic is Epic Universe's "elevated" dining experience option in the park. It feels very grandiose when you walk in and see the beautiful bar that looks over a balcony and stairs leading down to the main dining area that then looks out over the whole park. Want the best dining view at the park? Come to Atlantic. We came during the week for dinner so it wasn't super busy, but I'd recommend making a reservation ahead of time if you want to eat here. We had a reservation, it wasn't busy and we still had to wait to be seated. They had a pretty small menu, but all seafood themed as you'd expect from a restaurant called Atlantic. I tried the filet mignon, and it was one of the best pieces of meat I have tried in awhile, just fantastic. It came with some form of layered potato on the side, and having a bite of filet, with potato and the sauce altogether was just chefs kiss. We really enjoyed their seafood pasta as well. And where the food menu is smaller, the drink/ wine menu it probably twice that. Lots of fun options, we didn't try this time but the bar up top you can sit at and get a drink even if you don't want to dine in. Our waitress was a super sweet Puerto Rican gal (can't remember her name sadly) and Alaowei who was the food runner were wonderful and made the experience a lot better. It still seemed like their service could become a little more efficient considering it wasn't super busy when we came. And because it's higher tier dining, the prices more than reflect that. The food was at least enjoyable so the money wasn't wasted, but definitely just something we wanted to try for the experience and wouldn't be willing to pay real often. However, if you want a fun and exquisite dining experience underwater with the acrylic fish overlooking the park, you got it right here. read more

We seriously cannot think of a bad thing to say about this place. We will start with the view and the ambience in the restaurant. Absolutely amazing view of the park along with the fountains in celestial Park. The fish and the artwork on the inside is absolutely beautiful! We ordered the chili shrimp appetizer, the scallop entrée, the shrimp, pasta, entrée, and the snickerdoodle dessert. We ate every last bite of every single item. There was so much flavor, everything was cooked correctly, the dessert was sweet, but not too much to give you a stomachache. We cannot think of a single thing bad with this place! We have already been talking about going back again and trying other entrées on the menu. read more

The Atlantic is an experience. If you are willing to go the distance and go through everything to make it to Epic go the little extra more and make a reservation to Atlantic during your visit. Yes it will take a little extra longer. Yes it will cost more than you want to spend. And yes it will be worth all of that. The service was incredible. The restaurant is stunning. The food is absolutely breathtaking. Do yourself a favor and save room for dessert. You will be glad you did. Atlantic was amazing and made for some terrific memories with my family during our family vacation. Will be back for sure. read more

This restaurant is absolutely beautiful inside. The details are top notch! Very spacious insides with multiple floors. The staff were beyond helpful and friendly. Now, the food was pretty freakin delicious! We ordered the grouper sandwich, baked oysters, Atlantic burger, and the Bucatini Alla Apriata. Everyone loved their meals. Food came out hot and fresh! I will say, make reservations on the Universal App if you can. We happened to walk in and there was only a 30 minute wait. This was on a Wednesday at 1:00 pm. Overall, my family and I enjoyed this place. Give it a try if you're at Universal Epic! read more

Skip this place. It's Sysco at its finest, you're better off getting the same quality Sysco food at the mobile order spots in the park or the cart. Shrimp cocktail is soggy, and you can have better from Costco. They'll also be bigger than these measly sized things with a watery cocktail sauce. The burger meat was reminiscent to a school cafeteria lunch, but assured was 'fresh' not frozen. Do yourself a favor if you're looking for a fine dining experience with quality food and service and book dinner at the hotel on the epic park with the rooftop view. Skip this place all together. read more

One of the better restaurants in a theme park. Solid menu and really tasty food. Service was impeccable. Had the romesco romanesco. Others had the grouper sandwich, crab cake, corn chowder, seasonal salad and bucatini. Everyone at my table of 6 were very happy. Very nice ocean theme inside. Decent craft cocktails and a couple local craft beers on tap. Make reservations! read more

The theme is a luxury Atlantic cruise ship. Everyone is dressed the part, and the decor is beautiful. There is a mechanical ocean above your head that moves while you're dining. I'll say that the ratio of Co2 to syrup here for the coke machines is phenomenal. Also on a hot day, you can't beat this upscale style menu and air conditioning. My wife & I both had lobster rolls, and the kiddo had the burger. Hot goodness, glad I got the aoli on the side. Much better than the lobster rolls I had in Boston. Worth the price for sure, would stop in and have another one of these rolls if I had the time or the appetite. The in park dining at Epic is "epic". read more

This place was way better than expected. The atmosphere was all encompassing and was a complete departure frame m the chaos of a theme park. The food was not a disappointment. The shrimp cocktail was as expected, but the presentation added to the experience. But the hit in my eyes was the lobster roll. The best I've ever had. The fries and chips were good too. The hit of our experience was Hailey. She was knowledgeable, funny, helpful and extra attentive to our party. read more

Came here excited after reading many good reviews. Fast seating, great & moving decorations, friendly and attentive server and nice view of the epic universe park started thinga off right but unfortunately cant help when each served item had issues. We both started with the corn chowder, which we were both excited for. However it was bland and mealy. I guess maybe it needed sugar and salt, we did not eat much of it. My amaretto sour was extremely sour, but perhaps some people may like that. Main course one: filet was perfect internal color for med rare however had outer burned spots that ruined the taste until the spots were carved away. Main course 2: the scallops had a very fishy taste I've not experienced before, but the risotto was fine. However that night I woke up to a mild case of food poisoning. Unfortunatley given the price point vs food quality I cannot recommend the restaurant and have no interest in returning. read more

I was lucky enough to snag a reservation at the Atlantic during Epic's technical rehearsals and preview days! (And with that, I recognize they are still training and working out all the logistics.) We arrived a few minutes prior to our reservation and opted to get some drinks at the bar, as our table wasn't ready yet. I tried the Northern Lights (purple drink) and it was refreshing and beautiful. Several people asked me what I ordered simply because it is so eye catching. We were seated about 15 minutes after our reservation time and there was a bit of confusion about who our server was - but once it was sorted, we got to ordering. We shared the sweet and spicy shrimp (like bang bang shrimp) and it was delicious. However, the mussels were the real star of the appetizer round - they were hearty mussels of a decent size. I loved the cilantro sauce and the tomatoes that came with. It was a healthy portion and, of course, topped off with some bread to soak up the delicious broth! For entrees, our party tried the bucatini, the lobster roll, the grouper sandwich, and the sea bass! And it was all delicious and fresh. I had the sea bass and did find it to be a bit salty - and the carrot mochi were just odd - but the fish itself was light and the coconut broth was so so flavorful...I wish they'd given me a spoon or bread to soak it up! During dinner, I also tried the sand dollar cocktail - it straight up looks like sand, which wasn't appetizing - but the drink was so refreshing, light and coconuty - without being too tart from the grapefruit. The only small downside was from our reservation side, we were there for almost two hours and had ordered pretty immediately after being sat. For a food option inside a park, I hope they speed up service slightly so guests can get back to the park! But overall, delicious food and in an absolutely gorgeous building, with stunning views of the park and fountains! read more

Wow classy! It felt so fancy in there especially for a theme park. The view is beautiful and the inner theming is very good. The staff are very nice, professional and efficient. The food was very yummy, I had a blackened grouper sandwich and that may have been the best tasting fish I've ever had. The drink we had was underwhelming but looked cool. Not too many options on the menus and all rather pricey but they are definitely going for quality instead of quantity! Would highly recommend during an Epic Universe trip. read more

Atlantic sits within what I could only describe as the most incredible theme park I've ever experienced, Universal Epic Universe! After an absolutely spectacular day at the park, we headed to Atlantic for my birthday dinner. We had a late reservation but we were pretty tired, so we asked if we could be seated earlier than planned. The restaurant was nice enough to accommodate us. Of course we had to wait a few minutes in the spacious upper level lobby near the bar. Granted, it really didn't look very busy. Though we would have liked to have been sat by the window, we were one level above so we still had a great view. And what a view!!! The interior of the restaurant is just as beautiful, with the nautical theme and gorgeous steam punk sea creatures on the mechanical mobile above you. It becomes even more beautiful as the sun sets and everything lights up inside and outside. It's a dim, romantic atmosphere but casual dress is welcome. I started with an Espresso Manhattan since I hadn't had my coffee that day. It perked me right up! Not too sweet but creamy and great flavor. I would have had another, but $19 per cocktail is steep for me. We didn't bother with starters and went straight to our meals. Hubbs got the Grouper Sandwich and fries for $25. WOW! That was impressive and great value. The fried fish sticks out on both sides of the bread. I got a nice-sized chunk to taste. It was crispy, seasoned and cooked just how we like it! I forgot to get a pic because of my disappointment in my choice. I ordered the half-pound lobster roll for $48. It came out looking like a tiny sample from a food and wine festival. I chose it because lobster rolls are so hard to come by around me. I had seen photos on Yelp and Google of full claws sitting atop the packed sandwich. But it was not what I was served. The server was nice enough to let me send it back and order what I really wanted: The Sea Bass in lemongrass broth for $47. My second dish was delectable! The delicate fish was cooked perfectly, the aromatic broth was yummy and the carrots and carrot mochi added a fun varied texture to the dish. It was just lovely! I didn't notice until way after we had left, but the star fruit was missing on my dish. The manager also stopped by to apologize and chat with us a little, which was nice. I would have liked to have gotten dessert, but we had already spent $100+ and I had a cake waiting for me at home anyway. I would love to return but not sure my wallet would approve ... Conclusion: Atlantic ranks super high on the experience meter. But in execution, it's great, not fabulous. I think it's a level pricier than it deserves to be. read more

Amazing restaurant! Amazing food and amazing ambiance! Great service! The pasta and shrimp was delicious ( both of our kids got it and both loved it) . Me and my husband we had the fish sandwich and agreed was one of the best we had in a while! Highly recommended! The only things they have to improve is the reservation system. Even though we had reservations and we got confirmed we still had to wait at least 15 minutes to get seated for some reason. read more

And another shout out to Milton. His enthusiasm is contagious and he is such a gracious server and host. A special thank you also to manager Alex. Your care and attention to detail speaks volumes. The Atlantic would not be the same without you! This is our new go to spot for special moments and celebrations. Hurray for the Atlantic!!!!! read more

Lunch was exceptional at Atlantic, a beautiful fine dining restaurant with stunning views of Celestial Park through soaring, floor-to-ceiling windows. Their Potato Mille Feuille was the very best version I've ever had, boasting an impossibly crispy exterior and achieving perfection with its exquisite truffle cream sauce. Although the filet was just a touch tough and the oysters teeny tiny, the meal was delicious. Service was also quite exceptional. Our server was incredibly personable, funny, and friendly. read more

So for our family dining around Universal has generally been a disappointment. We had hopes with Atlantic in the new Epic Universe. I give two stars only because then ended up buying two of our entrees.. otherwise it would have been one star. The pros: the restaurant is visually very nice and gives a high end feel. Our server was good and attentive. The cons: The (huge) fail was the food/kitchen. My wife had salmon and she liked it. Our daughter had Mac and Cheese. Before I had a chance to try my scallops she ask me to try her Mac and cheese. Taking a taste there was no semblance of warmth. It was clearly room temperature at best, probably had been sitting out for a long time. I called the server back and let her know and she took it. Then I had a chance to try my scallops and risotto a small bite of the scallop seemed good, the risotto underneath cold. I called the server let her know and she took my plate back too. The plates came back. The mac & cheese was hot halfway through at the bottom it was still room temperature, but my daughter was hungry and just ate it. For me the plate (meaning not food but the plate) was warm. Risotto was still cold. I imagine they just put it under the broiler or in an oven for a bit which would've made the scalps hotter (and probably overcooked). but we never get through to the risotto. I was not happy I pushed the plate away told them I'm not going to eat this. It needs to be remade not just reheated. Finally came back and it was hot all the way through. Once done right it was good but I've never had to send a plate back twice....the kitchen is clearly not paying attention and for what should be a nicer restaurant that was very disappointing. The manager did say he'd buy the two plates so they sort of made it right. But I was hoping for so much more in quality... So far the only places in universal that I have been really happy with is the mediterranean restaurant in the new hotel, Helios and the restaurant in islands of adventure Mythos So there you go. I would not recommend this restaurant for a meal. But there is a bar in the upper section..stop in and have a drink as the atmosphere island look is nice read more

We went here for a nice meal while were were at Universal Epic. The restaurant is located near the entrance, within Celestial Park. I ordered the cheeseburger and it was maybe the best burger I've had in many years. It's hard to describe but it absolutely was delicious. read more

We ordered the jumbo crab cake and lobster roll to share. The portions were generous, and they didn't skimp on the meat. The crab cake did have a bit of a corn flavor that I didn't love, but the sauce was great with it. The lobster roll was definitely the star of the show. I loved that it was warm. There was plenty of lobster meat, and the bread was soft and pillowy. The lobster meat was also high quality, and they gave us an entire claw. I would definitely get this again. I also enjoyed the homemade potato chips that came on the side (though admittedly they could have used some salt). The service was also great; the server was friendly and gave great recommendations. It is a nice, more upscale setting. read more

The ambiance was wonderful but.... Although it was noted our reservation was for birthday and first anniversary, we were sat all the way in the corner by the kitchen. And to top it off, I stood at the bar for 10 minutes before being seated (it was NOT busy), and I was not acknowledged. I watched as a younger group of 4 customers were being very well taken care of. Came to a point where I had to say don't worry about making anything because our table was ready. For the service, our server was nice but it diner make people feel very special when you tell your customers "yeah I'm ready to get off work, but I don't get off til 10, maybe 12. Hopefully I'm lucky tonight to leave early."....... As for the food, we ordered oysters first and we watched multiple orders of it go by to tables seated after us, and finally got ours after quite a wait. Wasn't checked on until well after we got them. Also, for the price of the food, I wouldn't say it was anything mind blowingly amazing. It was good, but the price and the portions were just not worth it. I can't say if we'd ever go back again. Maybe if there are more options with better pricing and portions. read more

First off, our server Thaiz was amazing. She was very honest in her recommendations and was attentive throughout the night. Ambiance was so so lovely. We got a table for dinner and were able to see the closing show right by the window while having dessert. The fish flying around above you added a magical touch. It really was a beautiful experience. The food- everything we tried was fantastic. Favourites were the crab cake, bucatini pasta, and the seabass. But honestly everything was really good. Best dessert was the sandbox one- if you like cookie butter, you'd love it. Overall an epic meal and a wonderful way to end our epic day!! read more

Lots of great reviews on this place; however, when we went there was a new cook and the manager on duty was new so it made it less attractive. Just growing pains of the park as a whole. That being said, we will try this again as the food was packed with flavor. The best part is the few into celestial park. Absolutely gorgeous. Part of the water show is near the windows and the fish inside rotate. From the outside it looks like a fish bowl. So clever. Loved my wine and the salad was delightful. If not with a big group, most likely will sit at the bar next time or high tops to look out! read more

Atmosphere is great, food is wonderful and the staff is nice. First time here, we made sure to get a reservation

We had an 8:15 pm reservation and were not seated until 8:45 pm. We had a party of eight and specifically requested to be seated together for our son's birthday. When we discussed this with the hostess, there was no effort or remorse shown to accommodate our request. The service was disappointing from the start--after being seated, it took nearly 20 minutes just to receive water. The food quality was also an issue, as one of our family members became ill afterward. Overall, the experience did not meet expectations. Aside from the ambience, there was nothing that made this place worth the wait or the experience. We left feeling very disappointed. read more

I knew I had to visit the Atlantic while at Epic Universe and I wanted until the hottest part of the day to do so intentionally. The Atlantic has an amazing inside with beautiful views of inside celestial park. You can see the fountains alive Al throughout the day from pretty much any view inside the restaurant. I did not dine here, I only went to sit down at the upstairs bar. The air conditioning inside makes a visit to the bar a very high recommended experience for a summer Orlando afternoon. They have a bunch of drink options and they can make anything a typical bar can as well if nothing on the menu appeals to you. Now what I am most satisfied with is they had a unique selection of draft beers from local Orlando breweries! I got the orange blossum Pilsner which came as a 20oz pour for around 10.50 which I thought was a fantastic deal. I would highly recommend this option if you like blue moon as it tasted similar. It's a refreshing beer for the hot summer heat and the orange flavor just reminds me of Florida. If you have time when at epic universe you should definitely visit the Atlantic! They also have a sit down restaurant that seems fantastic that I want to try next time I visit! read more

So, for starters, this is a beautiful restaurant and the staff were wonderful. We eat out quite a bit and I'll admit, it's on us that we thought we could get superb meal in a theme park. The food here was in VERY small portions for the price. I left hungry, which never happens at a nice restaurant. And the plate I ordered - scallops ($40) - had four plain scallops and the tiniest bit of broccoli and maybe 3-4 mushrooms, all pretty bland. The lobster roll ($48) looked decent, but the fries with it were already cold and McDonalds has better tasting fries. Definitely a let down. I'm not saying don't go here- it is beautiful - but don't have high hopes for a mind blowing or memorable meal. It's a cute place for a break from the heat and maybe a drink. read more

Walking into this place makes you feel like you're on a cruise ship, the view is actually EPIC! Our server was the best (Estefania), you could really tell that she cares and loves her job! She came through with the bomb recommendations and great vibes. I had the Filet Mignon which was pretty solid, definitely didn't disappoint. Paired that with an old fashioned that also got the job done, my wife had an espresso martini that she loved as well as the grouper sandwich that seemed to be pretty good too. We honestly didn't care for the desert that we chose that they were hyping up but it wasn't bad enough to dampen our trip here. The prices were semi expensive as you would expect for fine dining at a theme park but for sure worth the experience! read more
