    Pasta
    Jacob C.

    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 ,

    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.

    Food quantity: 7/10 Food quality: 8/10 Service: 8/10 Ambiance: 9/10 Overall rating: 8/10 Food was delicious, but when we asked for extra crackers for the ahi tuna tartare, we were not told that they would charge $7 for that. The moving sea creature decorations were a nice touch.

    Jumbo Lump Crab Cake with jicama, peppers, and  corn purée
    Aurora N.

    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!

    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

    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.

    Restaurant is near the front of Epic Universe. Very pretty and ocean theme with large fish lit up and slowly "moving" above your head. Floor to ceiling windows overlooking the celestial pond and fountains. Kristi our server was so cheerful and all smiles. She gave us a rundown on menu.

    Seared Scallops
    Alexia M.

    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.

    What a lovely restaurant! We had a great time, we had a wonderful person serving us and had some fantastic food. My biggest critic is that a lot of the bread products were burnt... which made it taste bad and turned me off (my husband didn't mind) Inside was louder than I expected but still not as loud as the rest of the park

    Ahi Tuna Tartare

    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!

    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.

    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.

    Always a favorite when in Orlando! Made a reservation a week prior through OpenTable…read more We arrived at 530pm on a Friday and were able to take advantage of the Happy Hour, which was a phenomenal deal. There were 3 of us. We split 2 of the set appetizer menu. Came with 9 items in each set. The black bean hummus was delicious! I ordered a starry night cocktail, which was also good!

    Overall, I really enjoyed our meal here…read more Just a heads up this place is loud so this is not the restaurant you want to have an intimate conversation. However, it is quite fun, when we got there on a Saturday night, they were having a Taylor Swift look alike performance. I absolutely loved it. It turned out it was happening every hour so we were able to watch her perform twice. They also had someone selling jewelry and an artist painting, overall it is such a fun vibe. If you want a standard table, you need to make a reservation, I made a reservation like 15 minutes before and they only had outdoor seating and high tops available. We chose a high top and it was fine. They do have a kids menu so my son was able to order a cheese pizza with a side of fries and the other one ordered a chicken quesadilla with a side of fruit. On the kids menu it says cheese quesadilla but he really wanted chicken, I was surprised the chicken was a bit spicy. He ate a couple bites and then asked for his own cheese pizza after seeing his brothers. All the plates are meant to be shared so they come out whenever they're ready. My older son's cheese pizza came out immediately and then my younger son's chicken quesadilla came out after all our food had been delivered. I think this is what made him want a cheese pizza because he didn't have his own meal for majority of the time we were eating. When we finally ordered his cheese pizza it then took a long time to come out. I'm guessing it's because it's woodfired and his pizza was behind a ton of other pizzas whereas with my older son we must've ordered at a good time. My absolute favorite dish was the marinated cucumbers. It was a light and delicious. It reminds me of what I find at a Japanese restaurant. I also got the butter chicken, it was OK. I didn't find the chicken super tender so I would skip it next time. We also got the maple glazed chicken wings. I found the breading to be overly salty. I ended up taking off all of the breading and my younger son ate a ton of the chicken. I would skip it next time. We got the steak skewers, which were pretty delicious. Again didn't love it so probably would get something else next time. My husband did not like his ribs so he definitely should skip that next time. So overall, the food was OK, but my kids absolutely destroyed their pizza and I love the atmosphere, which is why I'm giving this place four stars. I see that it has great potential. If parking is a problem, I recommend parking at icon park and walking because it's about five minutes away. Our server was super nice, she was a bit slow, but she also had a giant table next to us, which could've contributed to that. I would definitely come back. I enjoyed our experience here.

    Let me just say -- I absolutely love American Social!…read more I come here pretty often, and every single time I'm treated incredibly well. The staff is beyond friendly and always welcoming, the food is amazing, and the drinks are just as impressive. Everything is consistently on point. But what really sets American Social apart is the vibe. The energy, the atmosphere, the overall experience -- it's unmatched. It's the kind of place you go to and never want to leave. If you're looking for a bar with great service, great food, and unbeatable vibes, this is the spot. Highly recommend!

    Good Vibes, But a Few Misses…read more We recently visited American Social for brunch and had a mixed experience. The atmosphere was lively and fun...definitely a great spot if you're looking for upbeat brunch energy. We started with the deviled eggs, and those did not disappoint. They were flavorful, well-balanced, and probably the highlight of our meal. For entrées, my husband ordered the brunch burger. The menu didn't list bacon, and even after our server double-checked to confirm it wouldn't come with bacon, the burger still came out topped with it. While mistakes happen, it was frustrating having to wait for the order to be remade while the rest of the table was already eating. I ordered the Fruity Pebbles chicken and waffles for my daughter. It was okay, but definitely on the sweeter side. The chicken itself was coated in cereal and then topped with syrup, which made the whole dish very sweet overall -- just a bit underwhelming for us. On a positive note, the kids' portions were great. The mac and cheese and chicken tenders were both solid and generously portioned. Overall, the food was a bit underwhelming for the price point, but I'd probably give it another try...if only for the Maui Mimosa. That drink alone might bring us back.

    Another great experience at the Velvet Bar. Stopped in for drinks before heading to Halloween…read moreHorror Nights. Whitney was a great server, giving our group guidance based on preferences, and gave just the right amount of attention while we were there. The cocktails were tasty. The inside is cozy with seating at the bar, tables or couches and chairs. They seem to always play good music too!

    I stayed at The Hard Rock for 4 nights to celebrate my birthday in June, and Anthony, the…read morebartender, truly made the trip unforgettable. From the first night, he was welcoming, fun to talk to, and mixed some of the best cocktails I've had. He not only remembered my favorite drinks but also recommended a few new ones that quickly became favorites. What stood out even more was how much he cared about making the experience special. Anthony gave me great food recommendations around the resort, and on the night of my birthday he surprised me by sending an assortment of snacks up to my room. It was such a thoughtful touch that made me feel celebrated and really added to the whole trip. Anthony goes above and beyond--great drinks, great conversation, and genuinely top-notch service. If you're at The Hard Rock, or enjoying the universal parks or resort, do yourself a favor and spend some time at the bar with him. He was there the last time we stayed there for my birthday as well. He's the best.
