Spectacular underwater-themed setting with good, contemporary seafood-leaning dishes; service and pacing are usually friendly but can be uneven, and a few items (notably lobster pasta) divide opinion.
Why it gets a B for overall quality
Under the Sea delivers a transportive dining experience anchored by exceptional immersive design and warm, attentive service. However, inconsistent execution on key dishes—particularly the divisive lobster pasta—prevents the restaurant from reaching higher territory. The grade reflects solid contemporary Mediterranean seafood with memorable atmosphere, though culinary reliability falls short of what distinguishes premier establishments.
Restaurant Summary
The room feels transportive and aquatic, with blue-lit projections and gentle music that many describe as a mini escape. Service is often warm and attentive, and several guests praise named servers for helpful guidance. One diner summed it up: "You feel like you slipped underwater, without the wetsuit." The cooking leans contemporary Mediterranean with a seafood tilt: tuna tataki with capers, citrusy ceviche, a playful fish burger, and homardine pasta. The culinary approach leans contemporary and produce-driven: creative techniques and bright flavors rather than molecular theatrics. Most plates earn solid marks; the lobster pasta splits opinions due to sauce depth and almond texture. Families are well served: there is a dedicated kids menu (€14) with simple pasta or salmon plus dessert and drink. Plenty of familiar options like pasta, fries, and a mild fish burger make it approachable. Despite the immersive vibe, kids are welcomed and comfortable, though peak-time queues can test patience.
