Disappointing experience overall. Haven’t been to this place in years and was so excited to return, but the birds there wouldn’t let us eat in peace. Food wasn’t great and no great selection of food choices. I wondered why it was so empty and now I know why. Tried to reach out to sea world directly and no response back. Wont come back again.

Dine With Orcas is definitely a must do for people who are visiting Seaworld. I highly recommend that anyone who wants to go to this restaurant reserve on the Seaworld website right after you purchase tickets. Saving it till the last minute is a bad idea, as spaces get filled up quickly. When we got there, there was a long line, and they didn’t open the doors until a few minutes after the reservation time. There is also a long line when waiting for the food room to open. However, the food itself is above average of your typical theme park food. There is service where a waiter/waitress serves you your drinks and collects your dishes. The service is very good and the employees were friendly. We got a table next to the orca pool, so we saw the first hand training sessions of the trainers and two orca; Corky and Ikaika. The session was short, but trainers were open to answering questions from guests and it was very special to eat beside orcas, a definite once in a lifetime opportunity. I highly recommend this restaurant when you visit Seaworld!
Vegetarian options: A variety of salads, vegetarian dessert options, and plenty of fruit.
Kid-friendliness: It’s a kid friendly restaurant, offering kid favorites such as Mac and Cheese, Chicken Nuggets, and Mini Corn Dogs. Kids will also love seeing the orcas interact with their trainers.

Some things to consider: don’t buy tickets to this last minute because you won’t get seats by the glass and you’ll be constantly shifting to try and catch a glimpse of the orcas around all the people in front of you. They’ll try to tell you that every seat is a good view but that’s a lie. I saw nothing but the back of some woman’s head.
The food isn’t terrible but, it’s not great. Everything is overcooked. The fresh fruit was very good. You’re going for the show which is why you should get a refund if they won’t seat you by the glass. Getting two glasses of water and a coke took forever. Maybe bring your own bottled water in.
The whole show thing lasted < 25 minutes. The rest of the time is just waiting for your drinks and buffet lines.
Honestly I’d have expected much better service for the amount of $$$ they’re taking in for each show.

Didn't know this was the best experience at Sea World until I did it. And yes, that's with all the new rides. Orcas are still the draw and are amazing. You must treat yourself to dining with the Orcas.

Au. Ha.
Cruelty at its best!!! If Americans would know about the cruelty of keeping Orcas in such a bathtub, about the mental illness… they would never go to such a place. But in this country they dont have enough education for understandig it. Its just bloodful entertainment with animals.

The food was good and there was lots to choose from. It's so exciting to be right up next to the show.....you will get splashed while you eat lol.
This experience has gone downhill. The food was poor. The experience lasted about 25 minutes. The worst part was that the place was not crowded but our group of six was sat on one of the sides and all of the action occurred in front of the group in the center section. The platforms next to the tables where the trainers used to bring the Orcas for an up close experience were not used. I was deeply disappointed with this experience!

We have been approximately three times over the past year, and have enjoyed every single time.We thought that the food and services were very good, including the salmon. We also liked the fish fillets, macaroni and cheese, tortellini, broccoli, cheese cubes and charcuterie board.In addition to the food, there was of course the show with the trainers and the orcas. It was amazing. EVERY SINGLE TIME!!! Even when the orcas didn’t really want to participate, they still were entertaining!!!I don’t think that you can go wrong with Dine with Orcas.

Overall, the experience lasts an hour. The buffet was rather good. Lots of options, all fresh and lots of flavor. The orcas are definitely the star of the show. Glad we experienced this!

Great experience we had along side my family. Very pleasing atmosphere to be so close to the Orcas. Trainers were extremely friendly & professional with the Orcas. My girls being enthusiasts of wildlife loved every second of the show. Food was very good , fresh & very warm. This experience is a must!
Should not have orcas in captivity
