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

BUCATINI ALLA ADRIATA substitute chicken breast instead of shrimp
Bradley B.

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.

Captain Fernando's Half-Pound Lobster Roll
Kevin W.

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
Kirsten B.

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.

Lobster roll

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.

A cheaper bottle of bourbon but definitely good flavor. The 10 was my favorite. For food, I got an order of the S & S sweet potato fries, which comes with a light caramel drizzle. These fries are cooked perfectly and so delicious. My husband got the garlic Parm wings, and while the crunch was perfect on them.(he ordered them crunchy) -he was not a fan of their garlic Parmesan sauce. It just felt like the garlic, overpowered any of the Parmesan. Overall, we enjoyed our time here and the two bartenders that were working the bar, were excellent and very attentive.

I understand that the restaurant was busy, so I didn't make a big deal out of it, but we ended up staring at a dirty white wall the entire time. The food took an extremely long time to arrive, and the hookah alone took over an hour to be served. Our server barely checked on the table, rarely refilled drinks, and the tables themselves were unstable and constantly moving around. It was very obvious they were understaffed. To make matters worse, they automatically added a 20% gratuity for parties of six or more. The server received a $33 tip from our check alone, not including the gratuity and tips from the other checks at our table. Considering how poor the service was, that is already a significant amount. Despite that, she still had the nerve to make a face and ask for an additional tip. Overall, the experience was disappointing from start to finish, especially for a birthday celebration. Unfortunately, I would not return or recommend this place based on the service we received.

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.
