I really enjoyed the upfront view of the orcas and the more intimate conversations with the trainers about the husbandry of the orcas.
The food was great and let’s be honest I paid $39 for this meal and entertainment, and it would be better than buying a burger and fries from the park. My server Trinity is what made this whole experience the best!
I would do this again for this price.

One of the best places to dine at SeaWorld. Most places in the park are WICKED expensive, so this place has a good value. You can view the Orca tank from here and every afternoon they’re placed on display here. The service was friendly and accommodating for our entire duration.
The food here is also pretty good. The salad as an appetizer was not too bad, but I liked my salmon dish. It had a good flavor and the star of the show was the sauce. I also liked how you can choose the desserts you want and you can stay here for a long time. Overall, I definitely recommend.

$81 and the doors were never opened for the orcas to come into the pool beside where we were dining. The park gave us a whole $15 back....Pathetic!
When most meals are an average of $20 throughout the park, this experience was definitely worth the extra money for the up close and personal Orca experience. And even better, the meal included a salad and desert.
To top it off, the beer was $12 opposed to nearly $15 throughout the park.
The food had great flavor but it was slightly cold which is why I rated the food a 3 star instead of 5.
The staff were very friendly, and our server seemed to be very knowledgeable about the Orcas.
Overall, I recommend this activity, especially if you have kids.
There is a place that under the water and see the whales clearly, also if you are rich you may go the restaurant and watch whale acting while have lunch. I was shocked by the size of the whale, so big.
Stop the massacre of orcas. Stop the torture of animals !

The staff was so wonderful, it really is worth the price for a nice rest and sit down to escape all the energy that happens at the park. Our experience was wonderful, our server, Devinne, was so nice and accommodating, dealing with us and our need for food that was peanut and egg free. Super helpful and easy going, just really appreciated how easy it was. Pat St. Louis was such a great chef, really went out of his way to accommodate our son’s allergies and be able to have a nice meal. Would 100% repeat the experience. Pat was such a stellar example, above and beyond, of a great customer experience, it was really not even expected, but I can tell from that encounter, that they treat every customer like they would their family. Don’t miss the experience! The Orca show was great, and up close encounter for what you would see from far away during the actual show.

This is a disgusting place. Free the orcas and take them to a sanctuary with SPACE to swim in. Absolutely terrible what they do to these animals here.
We cannot in good faith recommend this experience to anyone. It seemed very unfairly advertised as a nice dining experience with a show. On the day we went it was a 6 minute show at most. To be frank the food was horrendous and the service is very slow which is no fault of the servers. They worked their butt off but and were expected to cover around 20 tables each on the day we went. We got cold fries and hospital style vegetables with some of the worst meat I ever had in my life. The desserts were fine but it's hard to mess that up. The server was a gem thankfully and tried her best to give us a better experience. She read the room very well. This was a watershed moment for me as I will also not be renewing my sea world membership after this year. This felt like a total tourist trap and the guests deserve better. This is the quality of food and experience I would expect from US 192...not a professional theme park.

Mensen schrijven hier hun ervaringen over het eten en drinken, terwijl die arme dieren zwaar ongelukkig zijn. Dit moet je niet opzoeken, maar zoek ze op in het wild.

This is very cruel. 3 large whales trapped in a small pool and people are enjoying food and watching them. These whales need to be free. You can see whales free in the wild at many states including NJ and NY. Of course the best whale watch would be Hawaii. This will be really watching the whales not in a smallTank when you know that the are depressed

Make the effort to go see whales in the wild. This is just cruel. You can see whales this close on a whale watching tour. Many of which the proceeds go towards whale conservation. These whales deserve thousands of square miles of ocean to swim in. Not a concrete prison cell. This is just messed up.

The good was fabulous , great choice, 3 courses and drinks too. Up close to the orcas. The trainers had lots of time to talk and answer questions individually to each table. Well worth the money. We would go again.

Unfortunately the orcas were not cooperating on the day we visited. What that boiled down to was a very expensive waste of time when you are trying to enjoy the other fine things the park has to offer. The food was terrible and only one orca showed up for a total of less than minutes. The orca show which is free with admission was way way better.
