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.

I feel like we got scammed with this experience. We did not get to experience the orcas while eating like it’s shown here in the reviews which was why we booked it and rushed there to begin with. We ate first and had to walk over to another area where they normally do the shows separately which we could’ve done at the scheduled times throughout the day. I told the kids we can get to watch orcas while we eat which is not true. Ivan also told us we can take pictures WITH them which is also not true. We wouldn’t book this experience again. Just eat food prior to one of their scheduled showings. It will be MUCH cheaper and the show is already included in the price anyways.
The food and service was excellent. When we were first seated, and I saw how we were close to the glass and the tank, I was excited. For whatever reason, they were not bringing the orcas over to the dining area and instead, they brought us back to the stadium to watch a small training session. I really was curious what the session would have been if the orcas were brought over to the dining as was supposed to happen.Vegetarian options: They had a creamy Alfredo penne dish for vegetarians.

Why is the Orca’s dorsal fin, collapsed in every single photo. This corporation needs to do better to these animals and release them. I WOULD NEVER dine while a captive animal is suffering in the background for entertainment. SHAME, SHAME, SHAME

The food was pretty good. You get an up close and personal show of the Orcas.

The little show is nice, but the food was heated up microwave meal type food. We had a party of 7. After tip was over $300. Barely touched our food. There's much better food in the park.
