At Sea World Orlando, you can feed a dolphin, touch a stingray, watch performing whales or zip around on a high speed rollercoaster. After a day of tossing fish to dolphins and watching manatees nibble up lettuce tossed by their keepers, you may find yourself ready to explore another aspect of the park: the restaurants. Sea World offers a total of nine restaurants; each restaurant has a unique theme and a children's menu of kid-friendly foods, such as hamburgers and chicken fingers.
Sharks Underwater Grill is Sea World Orlando's only full service restaurant, but what really makes it stand out from the other dining options is the view. Located inside the Shark Encounter pavilion, the restaurant looks directly into the shark aquarium, offering the opportunity to watch the sharks swim right past the tables as you dine. The menu features dishes such as a mixed grill, pasta Alfredo with shrimp or chicken, and New York strip steak.

With international menu items--such as stir fry, coconut fried shrimp and antipasto salad--Seafire Inn offers dishes that are a departure from standard theme park fare of hamburgers and hot dogs. This cafeteria-style restaurant has seating both indoors and outside on the patio, and it's located close to the park entrance.
