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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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 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

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

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

Our server was very accommodating as he got kitchen to cook side of vegetables for kids even though not on menu. 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

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

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 is a beautiful fine dining restaurant inside of Universal Epic. The ambiance was amazing with fish ceiling decorations on a pulley overlooking the park.

I really enjoyed the meal and ambiance. read more

An incredible atmosphere with delicious food - definitely come for dinner, but make sure to make reservations ahead of time, as it gets quite busy. The immersive aquatic dining experience is truly magical - there are luminescent fish floating suspended in the sky as you eat. For appetizers, we ordered the crab cake and shrimp, both of which were excellent. The lobster roll was phenomenal as well and packed with a generous serving of lobster. Desserts were creative and tasty, our favorite being the Biscoff snickerdoodle cake. Service was very attentive too. Overall a must visit if you're at Epic Universe! 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

Atlantic at Epic Universe was hands-down the best dining experience of our entire stay. Every single dish felt thoughtful, beautifully executed, and genuinely memorable -- the kind of meal where you keep talking about it long after you leave the table. The Bucatini alla Adriata was a standout with incredible depth of flavor, perfectly cooked pasta, and a sauce that tasted like it came straight from a coastal Italian kitchen. And the lobster roll absolutely stole the show -- warm, buttery lobster instead of the typical cold preparation (which, in my opinion, is exactly how it should be done). It was rich, indulgent, and perfectly balanced. From start to finish, Atlantic delivered an exquisite experience with exceptional food, great atmosphere, and service. Easily will be must-visit when we return to Orlando. *and time it out for the evening show at 9pm. Very cool! read more

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

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

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

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

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
