    The Aquarium restaurant was great - our group of 5 enjoyed the food, the ambiance and the service was good. We had a toddler with us, so the wait on the appetizers was a little challenging for her. Otherwise, it was a great experience.

    It is fun to eat with all of the fish swimming there in front of you. I felt the cost of the food was a bit high or just seafood.

    We went for the first time for Father’s Day dinner. Got an awesome table right next to the fish tank, our two toddlers loved it. We asked upon ordering for any of the kids’ food to be brought out as soon as possible, and were assured it would be. Food took an hour to arrive and only did so after speaking with the manager (apparently the kitchen was down for over half an hour, we were told at this point). With two small kids, this was a challenge, to say the least. Food and cocktails weren’t anything great, but they were fine. The aquarium was great but I would skip the restaurant.

    The waitress, as well as the manager were outstanding. The waitress continued to engage with us, make sure that we were taken care of, and even bring us a special treats for our anniversary. We got there later. And by the time it was dessert time it was about 30 minutes after closing. She offered all the dessert options, including the one that is made to order and would take about 25 to 30 minutes. We weren’t treated as if we were Keeping them, and it was very refreshing. I would highly recommend the Denver aquarium restaurant!

    Our meals were very good. The wait to get our food seemed longer than it should have been for sure. The service was good as well. The noice level was not too bad and the ambiance was amazing. Was such a coop experience. I would recommend trying this location, but make sure you have extra time for the delivery of your food.

    We loved the food, the excellent service, and the location of our table next to the aquarium. We do not get to come to this restaurant often due to the distance form home (65 miles) but we try to stop by here for lunch as often as we can. The food is a bit pricey but delicious. It was a great meal and we look forward to the next visit. The only issue was, even with a reservation, we did not get seated at our table until 15 minutes later. Others who did not have reservations were seated immediately upon arrival.
