Dive! was a 300-seat restaurant, shaped like a neon-yellow submarine located in the Marketplace food court of the
director Steven Spielberg and Disney Studios Chairman Jeffrey Katzenberg, and operated by Larry Levy, the Chairman of Levy Restaurants.[1] The restaurant had a nautical theme to it, owing to Spielberg's love of undersea exploration. Dive! opened in May 1994, and was a popular hangout of celebrities until it closed in January 1999.[2] A branch in Las Vegas opened in 1995, but would also close its doors by the early 2000s.[3]
