Brian's Review

This restaurant at the Living Seas was very expensive (I've read in someone else's trip report that the fish are obviously fresh, because the prices include airfare). Also, the famed "view" of the aquarium was disappointing, in my opinion.  The restaurant is arranged with a main seating floor that has three stepped levels.  Each row is ten to fifteen feet further from the aquarium than the previous one, and the tables are scattered about on the levels so everyone has a view of the aquatic live.  Regardless, the food was pretty good. I had a grilled swordfish steak that was very tasty, but expensive. Perhaps if we enjoyed seafood more we'd like this restaurant better.

Electric Umbrella

Location

In Innoventions West, just to the West of the Fountain.

Menu

• Cuisine: American

• Sample Items: Hot Dogs, Chicken Sandwiches, Salads

• Prices: Inexpensive

Comments

This is generally a Burger and Fries Joint, but some other offering (pita sandwiches, chef's salads, etc.) are available.  It boasts a decent works bar and there is some limited outdoor seating available.

Fountain View Espresso and Bakery

Location

Just to the East and adjacent to the Fountain.

Menu

• Cuisine: American

• Sample Items: Pastries, Espresso, Coffee

• Prices: Inexpensive

Comments

Great place for a pastry and coffee break and / or to watch the wonderful fountain just beyond Spaceship Earth toward the Lagoon.  Not bad for a quick breakfast, but lines form early and remain until mid-morning.

Garden Grill Restaurant

Location

Upstairs at the Land, at the very back of the pavilion.

Menu

• Cuisine: American
  Sample Items: Family Style Meals Including Rotisserie Chicken, Flank Steak, Catfish

• Prices: Moderate

Brian's Review

The seating area for this restaurant is located on a rotating platform that slowly revolves through the "Living with the Land" boat ride scenes which can be seen through the glass. All of the tables are booths that face outward, toward the window, so everyone in your party will have a reasonably good view of things. Actually, you can't see very much. You can see the top portion of each scene, but really can't see any detail. You can't even see the boats as they glide by. From the ride itself, you can see the glass of the restaurant above, but don't see the diners themselves.

The Land Grill Room serves a character dinner with "family style" - all-you-can-eat - service.  Chip & Dale will be happy to sample your dinner, if you let them!

Pasta Piazza Ristorante

Location

In Innoventions East.

Menu

• Cuisine: Italian

• Sample Items: Pizza, Pasta, Salads

• Prices: Inexpensive

Comments

Nothing exceptional, but the pizza portions are large.

Pure and Simple

Location

Located at the back of the Wonders of Life pavilion, a bit to the right of center, as you enter the dome.

Menu

• Cuisine: American

• Sample Items: Juices, Waffles, Sandwiches, Yogurt Sundaes

• Prices: Inexpensive

Comments

Seating is very limited and so is the menu.  Since this is the "Wonders of Life" pavilion, you shouldn't be surprised to note that the food items tend to be healthier than some other snack options. 

Sunshine Season Food Fair

Location

The Land pavilion, lower level adjacent to the loading queue of "Living with the Land."  You can't miss it (in the picture to the right, the entrance to the pavilion is the light windows on the upper level)

Menu

• Cuisine: American

• Sample Items: Baked Goods, Potatos, Sandwiches, Pasta, Soup, Salads

• Prices: Inexpensive

Brian's Review

This food count in the Land Pavilion suffers from a big logistical problem.  You must select your choices at one or more areas and pay for them individually.  If everyone in your party picks from just one place no problem.  Otherwise, things can get hectic.  Other than that complaint, the selections are fairly extensive and the quality is generally good.
