![]() This is a very early (and prescient) description of what an undersea restaurant would look like.
As far as I know, the first true undersea restaurant was built at the Maldives Hilton in April of 2005:
You may recall the famous Coral Reef Restaurant at Disney World (I've eaten there - the food is great - sit in the second tier of seats to get a more panaramic view). I think this restaurant was built in the early 1980's (EPCOT opened in 1982); however, it is not a true undersea restaurant. The restaurant is on dry land; one large wall is shared with a (very impressive) aquarium.
As long as I'm obsessing on this topic, the earliest description of fine dining under the sea has got to be found in Jules Verne's 1875 classic 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea:
I think he saved the view of the sea from within the Nautilus for elsewhere in the book.
