    Pesto Chicken Sandwich
    Greshka P.

    Will start by saying, yes, it is expensive but, it's what you would expect from a sit down restaurant at any of these parks. They give you the opportunity to take a break from the heat, lines, and they have a huge aquarium inside with sharks and fishes for you to enjoy while you eat. Service can be slow, especially when busy, so recommend looking at the menu before hand and being ready to order all when your server comes. We did that and it was a breeze. Our server even thanked us for being ready, making his job way easier. The menu has something for everyone, burgers, sandwiches, salads, tacos, soups.... All decent, good portions, but the one thing that stood out was the lobster bisque. That was legit delicious. Reservations are highly recommended

    Grilled lamb chop
    Janny Y.

    Made reservation two days ahead just to be safe because we had a party of 10. I didn't see menu online, assuming the menu changes. The entree were anywhere from $29 to $48. Mostly chicken related. We ordered 3 out of the 4 appetizers they had available. The coconut chicken tenders were very good, 3 pieces laid on top of arugula. They were tender on the inside and crispy outside with a good amount of coconut crust. The flavor was good too. I didn't get to eat the chicken quesadillas but the kids enjoyed it. I did try some of the guacamole and the corn salsa. The guacamole was not good. Taste premade and sat in fridge, not enough of any seasoning in it, just tasted 'green'. The corn salsa was pretty good. I only got to have the tomato from the flatbread, the kids ate it all. But the cheese looked good when I was cutting it up to share with everyone. My son and I ordered the lamb chop and hubby got the filet mignon. I tried a piece of hubby's mignon, it was very tender. The lamb was very good. The mix of bbq sauce with the Greek chimichurri and tzatziki sauce were pretty good together. The lamb was garnished with some asparagus and carrot which was great but they were blanched/steamed. I'm glad the veggies wasn't over cooked but they would have been much better if they were grilled with sprinkle of salt and pepper. That would have brought out more flavors of the veggies to accompany the lamb. Then we had the chocolate cake confusion. It was soooooo chocolately! Thick and heavy. The raspberry syrup with it made it even sweeter. Can't have too much but it was pretty good, just don't dip too much raspberry syrup with each bite. Our friends enjoyed their meal too, they got the burger, chicken, and a salad, they liked them. I didn't take photos of their food. Our waitress was nice. Food took a while to arrive and they don't give out bread or anything so we kind of just sat and drank water and look at the shark tanks until food arrived. Lol. It was a nice 1st time experience after going to Seaworld for so many years.

    Make reservations if you want to get a front row seat at the Shark Tank. Since we did, we were greeted and seated promptly. The waitress came right over. I was surprised that the menu for being inside an amusement park. They had some really upscale dishes. I had the lobster bisque and it was delicious. The food came out quickly. My child's burger was a little well done so he didn't want to eat it, but he didn't leave hungry because the waitress made him a hot fudge sundae. You can't beat the view of sharks swimming around while you eat.

    I visited Sharks Underwater Grill at SeaWorld and made a reservation ahead of time. It was a great way to step away from the heavy crowds and enjoy some air conditioning and a more relaxed dining experience inside the park. The only downside was the service. It took about 25 minutes for a server to greet us after being seated and another 30 minutes for the food to arrive. I am not sure if they were short staffed or if it was just an off night, but it did impact the experience a bit. The food was very good and definitely enhanced the overall experience. I had the lamb chops with a unique Greek-style sauce that was flavorful and memorable, along with salmon that was cooked perfectly. I also ordered the Tropical Turtle Hurricane, which was refreshing and well made. Overall, this is a family friendly spot with a quieter, more relaxed vibe compared to the rest of the park. It is on the pricier side, but that is expected for a theme park restaurant.

    The Sharks Underwater Grill is an amazing exhibit. The underwater water view of the sharks and other marine life is stunning. You can look up over your head and see the sharks and fish swimming it was really cool. I definitely recommend see the when visiting Sea World.

    When booking for magical dining, gives you free parking and admission. They send a text to where to ago to check in at the ticketing booth and a team member brings you to the restaurant. You check in once again at the restaurant and got sat down right away. The restaurant is nice with the aquarium view of fishes, sharks, etc. Our server Greg was really nice and attentive! Even when my grandma was being a bit difficult, he made sure there was something she would get to eat. We ordered a rose and margarita to drink which both were good. The lobster bisque as an appetizer was very very salty. Tried to add pepper to help cut it a bit but no luck. There was good chunks of lobster in the bisque. Ordered the filet mignon as the entree and it was the highlight of the whole meal. A nice size that was cooked and seasoned ro perfection. My sister gotten the salmon that was perfectly cooked and the sauce wasn't anything heavy and paired well with the salmon. Only thing was the Asian coleslaw was lacking season and dressing. For dessert, we did the cookies with ice cream and the cheesecake. The cookies came cold and truly feel like it would of been better if they were warmed. Cheesecake seemed too much. The white chocolate covering wasn't really needed for it. We ended up taking the coating off. Raspberry in the middle of the Cheesecake cake was good though. I found this to be a bit of a hit and miss!

    We came on a Saturday and just needed something peaceful. Look no further. The atmosphere was just what we needed. The food was excellent, the drinks were delicious, and our service was great. The best part was looking into the giant shark tank. Talk about peaceful. Probably one of the best experiences in SeaWorld

    If you want to get out of the heat and have a sit down meal while inside Seaworld, this is the only place to do so. We placed our name on the list for a table for 2 for lunch. We were texted about 15 minutes later that they were ready for us. It seems like the restaurant does not have a very good seating system because we had to wait again in the long line to tell the hostess we got the text and then we're seated inside in a waiting area for another 10 minutes before a different hostess sat us. I was very excited about where we were sat because we were on the floor area right infront of the aquarium. I loved looking at all the sharks swimming around. Our server was very nice. We ordered the coconut chicken tenders for an appetizer and they were good and had a nice tangy dipping sauce. For entrees we ordered the grilled basil-pesto chicken sandwich and the wagyu beef sliders. Both were served hot and tasty. We were both satisfied and filled up to take on the rest of the day at the park. The prices were a little steep for certain items on the menu but then again it is a theme park restaurant.

    Filet Mignon
    Mike S.

    So we got invited to go to Sharks Underwater Grill at SeaWorld for Magical Dining. Now at the time I wasn't really sure what that all entailed but we said we were in. We arrived at the park and went up to the ticketing booth and told them what we were here for and within a few minutes someone meet us at the gate and walked up to dinner at Sharks. Once at the restaurant we were quickly seated and I will say it is very cool inside. Views of the shark ranks all throughout the restaurant. Our waitress brought us our menus and explained what Magical Dining was. It was $40 a person for an appetizer, a main, and a desert. For my appetizer I went with the Cold Water Lobster Bisque even though I was a hot day but I'm good I did. There was a good amount of Lobster which I was pleasantly surprised by. It was a little salty but that's not an issue when you have lobster overload. For my main of of course went with the Filet Mignon cooked medium rare. Starting with Lobster Bisque and a Filet for $40 is for sure a good price and we still haven't even gotten to desert. The filet was well seasoned and tender. I will say it was more on the medium side then medium rare and Ashley was for sure more medium well then medium but I get it. They aren't a steakhouse and a place like his is going to mostly likely be playing it safe. When ordering desert I was already getting pretty full but that White Chocolate Raspberry Cheesecake was calling my name. It was very good and a huge serving. Honestly all the deserts were huge. For sure could be splice with someone or hell split it with the family. I did my best to finish mine off but I was the only one who did. I also tried the Chocolate Cake Confusion was also very good but extremely rich. If you can get in to Sharks Underwater Grill for Magical Dinning it is for sure worth it. Plus to get access to the park after you eat. It's really a steal!

    This was honestly one of the coolest magical dining experiences I've ever had! When we got to SeaWorld's Royal Park, we checked in for our reservation and waited for an attendant to take us to the restaurant. And thank goodness they did, because that walk was way farther than I expected, and we definitely would've gotten lost. They dropped us right at the front, which was super convenient. We checked in again at the restaurant, waited just a few minutes, and were seated in a really nice spot. Honestly, it doesn't even seem like there's a bad seat in the house, every table has such an amazing view of the sharks. Watching them swim around while dining was just surreal. The three-course meal was so worth it because you really get high-end choices. For appetizers, I had the lobster bisque. it had this tangy, citrusy flavor, which was unexpected but still really good. My fiancé got the chicken quesadilla, which came with two huge slices that we ended up sharing. For entrées, I went with the glazed salmon (served with rice and mixed greens), and he had the filet mignon. Both were yummy! For dessert, I had the cannoli cake, which I actually loved because it came with a little side of cannoli. The filling tasted just like those Flintstone ice cream push pops from the '90s it instantly brought me back to childhood! It was fun and different. My fiancé got the chocolate cake, and even though he loves chocolate, he said this one was too chocolatey (the ganache was a bit much). Definitely something to keep in mind if you're not a major chocolate fan. The staff was amazing and super kind and helpful when it came to making choices. The whole vibe of the restaurant was so serene. Between the lighting and the view of the sharks and fish, it really felt like we were dining on an underwater cruise. Such a beautiful experience. I actually loved it so much that I booked another reservation a few days later to take family who were visiting. That time, I tried the steak, the Caesar salad, and the cookie with ice cream for dessert. The cookie was served very cold, so I think it was supposed to pair with the ice cream as a warm/cold contrast, but honestly, it didn't take away from the overall experience. And of course, one of the best perks you get to walk around the park after! We went to see a few animals and even hopped on some rides before ending the day. All in all, totally worth it. If you're considering magical dining, I highly recommend this one, it's an experience you won't forget!

    Honestly not that its bad but the prices for what you are ordering are ridiculous. The food is pretty mid and the drinks are honestly bad. The only thing this place has going is the vibe inside but other than that.... Wouldn't waste my money here

    Sharks Underwater Grill is the place to hangout while in Seaworld. Lot of colorful and tasty cocktails. Amazing and superb appetizers such as beef sliders and crispy fresh french fries. Service is always on point amd don't forget to use your Seaworld membership pass for big discounts.

    Caesar Salad

    Good food, excellent ambiance. Service was quick, efficient, and friendly. Pre Fixe menu offered good value. It was fun being able to watch the sharks while eating dinner!

    Yes, my grandkids love it watching sharks swim around.

    Can you make reservations here? If so, how?

    Yes, at the entrance to the restaurant. I suggest that you go directly there once entering the park. The last reservation is an hour before park closes.

    Do you have to have tickets to Sea World to dine here? We are not planning on going to Sea World while visiting, but would love to eat at the restaurant.

    Yes, entrance to Sea World is required.

    How often does the Magical Dinning Shuttle run? Is it free parking? Is it true that if you dine for Magical Dinning Seaworld entry is free?

    Yes parking is free, they direct you where to park when you arrive at the parking kiosk. Yes, you get to enter the park for free after you dine. Once we arrived, they called a shuttle and it came and picked us up 15 minutes later and we were…

    Bucket list item has been check off ! After a few coaches…read morewent to PBR for a birthday celebration, I decided I wanted to check off my bucket list and ride the bull too! We went on a Friday night which is ladies night a group of 5 of us and we had the best night. Ladies get in free and drink free until 10pm FYI. The only con was the parking , we ended up paying like $25 to park in the parking garage for 5 hours and never again. I will valet instead because the pointe Orlando garage is a hot mess ( I'll save that for another review ) Back to fun ! We all rode the bull and I am happy to say I got the bell rang 2 out of the 3 times that I rode ( those track legs came in handy) lol. My bestie ended up getting the bell rung as well and we were given free shots . Not too bad for the 40 club. It was a blast and I'd definitely do it again!

When I first arrived there around 7pm, which is there opening time, the security staff were just showing up, and they didn't think the facility was opened yet. So I went to my restaurant first, had dinner, then came back around 8:30. The place was open, and there was no line. Security staff screened me using a handheld metal detector, and kindly let me in. They did inform me that I could not bring outside food with me, but were very nice to valet it for me. I directly went to the bar and just had a diet coke for 4 dollars. Yup, it's a little pricey, but what did you expect for a tourist area? Honestly, I didn't come here for the food and drinks. It's obvious you know why I came. The star attraction is of course, the mechanical bull. It's not a PBR without the bull, and there were a few people riding it. Of course, I took a ride too, and had a lot of fun (hint: if you want a fun ride at your own pace, be sure to tip the ride operator). The operator did an excellent job controlling the bull at my desired pace, and it was a great practice for the real thing (yes my friends, I been cleared to ride the real ones again ). After riding, I headed back out. Security and check in area gave me my bag back and wished me farewell. I was quite impressed with the great service and friendly staff, especially from security (the bouncers). They took great care of me, and mechanical bull operator did a great job giving everyone a fun ride. The music was pretty loud and they were some people line dancing too. The bar area is both indoors and outdoors, so if you don't want to go though security or pay cover charge, you can still drink outdoors. But the indoor area has the better vibe, and the bull ride, so it is better to be indoors. There were saddle seats too, but they were occupied when I was there. I wasn't sure what's the cover charge as I had a coupon to get in for free. This country bar is definitely much better than the defunct Cowgirls bar that was at Icon Park. The vibes here seemed a lot better. The drinks looked to be a bit expensive, but at least the bull rides are free if you buy a food or drink. And parking is validated too. So it's well worth it for a bull ride and free parking to go through the friendly security check and buy a food or drink. Overall: A
