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!

I really thought that I was going to get something spectacular, but my expectations were way too high. Yes, it's a cool concept and it sounds like a novel experience, but meh, I wish I would have taken my money for the food stands instead.First, I didn't like the ambiance. I thought we would get to go to an underground portal and see the orcas through a glass aquarium enclosure (which is smaller than the parking lot btw). So you basically sit out on a patio, next to a swimming pool, and maybe you'll see some orca moving here and there. But you may have to turn your neck quite a bit. I was also a little surprised that there was a potential for splashing. Not exactly something I'd like to get on my food, but okay. The tables were too cramped amongst each other for my taste. Second, the food. I probably should have taken note that food was going to be served buffet style, which I've come to realize after this experience that I don't like this style at all. Especially since a lot of food was almost out by the time the line died down. No more bread rolls, no more salmon, no more of the kale salad. I wish they offered more fun non-alcoholic drinks. As for the food itself, it was quite forgettable and meh.

This is a fun way to entertain the kids while having lunch at Sea World. The food was pretty good too.Reservations are recommended so you'll want to plan ahead. Lunch is at 1pm and served buffet style. Prices vary by date, but it's around $40 for adults (10+) and $30 for kids (3-9). We thought the pricing was fair for park food. It includes a meal, soft drinks, desserts, and coffee. I don't think a meal, drink, and dessert from one of the stands would be much less per person. The seating is all around the orca tank. Your table is either up against the clear barrier or just past those tables. Everything is a pretty up close view. Our table was in the splash zone. The orcas were able to come up right next to us. The service was friendly. Our server came by frequently to see if we needed beverages. The buffet stayed well stocked while we were there.The food was actually pretty good. I wasn't sure what to expect from a buffet at a park. Our party including six adults and one toddler enjoyed the food. There were several meat options, salmon, tomato bisque, salad, vegetables, mashed potatoes, pasta, cheese, and meats. Desserts included cookies, cheesecake bars, and mini passionfruit cake. They also offered several "kid" foods like mini corn dogs and nuggets. This is a good spot to get a heartier lunch and to sit down to rest. The major perk being up close views of the orcas to entertain the kids.

Dining with orcas was an incredible experience. The food was good with a wide variety of options to choose from. The service was exceptional, with attentive and friendly staff who made sure we had everything we needed. The highlight, of course, was being able to dine while watching these majestic creatures swim and play .

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!

If you care about wildlife, then don't support this type of business practice. These whales are suffering needlessly.
Had mixed feelings on what to rate this bc the food was ok, but for people with any food allergies it was not ok. But the experience of seeing the Orcas that close and eating while you saw them do some training was amazing. No bad seat anywhere here. The servers and kitchen staff were super nice. The food is where i wish the kitchen had more dairy free or alternatives for lactose intolerant people or vegans. The food kept running out and it seemed some items were not going to be restocked. People really packed their plates which caused an issue as the food kept running out. The chef was super nice in trying to accommodate my dairy intolerance, but the kitchen had no alternatives for some of the ingredients in their dishes. It was a great once in a lifetime experience, but due to my dairy intolerance I would not do this dining experience again.

This is an experience to have. It’s about 45 bucks a person, and it includes dinner and an Orca show. They had 4 different dinner options and dessert.

So sad poor animals how is your parking lot bigger than then the orcas housing you guys make to much money to have these animals like this....smh

Entertaining lunch option inside Seaworld. The buffet style food was ok (better than average of what you typically find in amusement parks) but the stars of the lunch were the Orcas. The actual show lasts a little longer than 15 minutes, but they hang out before and after while you eat. Our whole family enjoyed the time.

Our experience was dampened by the service provided by the hostess, Yohiara, and server. We arrived 30 minutes early because my child has sensory issues and we requested a corner table. Tables were empty, no one was seated of as yet. The server refused to accomadate, despite seeing our son visibly distraught as people began to sit down around us. But i think the worst issue was their lack of care for people with allergies. Our children have food allergies and neither were helpful. We were laughed at by our server,Adam, since there was nothing our children could eat with their nut and berry allergies. I asked to speak to someone knowledgeable, three times, but no one ever came. I think seaworld should be more attentive to its disabled community. Thankfully our children appreciated the show and were not focused on not being able to eat. Seaworld should properly train their staff to deal with these situations.
