sdw · I ate here last month. It's not claustrophobic at all. It's a pretty amazing experience. The service is insanely good, and the food was quite possibly THE best meal I've ever had, and I've had a lot of good meals. Well worth the cost not only for the food but also the experience. Plus, they gave me a pearl at the end of the meal (the name of the restaurant is Ithaa, which means pearl).
sdw · Mostly just an assortment of the various fish that live there (which you can also see snorkeling). There were a couple of sting rays that liked to go back and forth over the glass, which was kind of cool. I think they must put food out into the water to keep them around all the time, unless they just stay around because of the coral reef.
I think he said the same thing about madlives in general.
