   Always awesome to watch fish swim while eating one of their brethren. Looking them in the eye as you take a bite shows dominance.

   The food was not very good at all and it was way overpriced and I had to walk through a crowd of people around the corner to go to the bathroom

   I ordered the grilled shrimp. Well I didn't see 1 grill mark and the shrimp was cold and it had a nasty green sauce on it when it stated a marinade? I was very dissapointed in it. My husband ordered the broiled captains type platter and he had the same skinny shrimp I had and he wasn't very impressed with it. Our friend and grandkids had a really good meal chicken Alfredo and 2 kids meals were much better than ours. Together we spent almost $200 for 5 meals...3 adults and 2 kids .. sorry but very overpriced. We get much better "grilled" shrimp at Texas roadhouse

   Our server was clearly over sat, which happens, but he continually was attentive to the larger table beside us and ignored us. He let us sit there for almost 20 minutes before even acknowledging us. He then disappeared to go smoke, which we could smell on him, and left our food under the warmer. He served one member of our party the entirely wrong entree, but she was afraid to ask for a new one for how long it took to get the first one. The seafood was tough because it was left under the warmer. I’d like to go back again because our experience was not like that the last time we went. I hope it was just a tough night!

   The food was good, the portion sizes were large, including the kids meals and the service was excellent. Our server went above and beyond and had a great personality. Our table was right by the tank and the kids loved it.

   One of our favorite places to eat. The service is always great (Jessica was our server this trip) and we love the menu selection - different types of food and desserts for all of our picky eaters. Love to sit by the aquarium glass and relax and watch the fish swim by.

    The cheeseburgers were overcooked and dry. The mahi mahi was covered with parmesan cheese even though that wasn't listen on the menu. For the price, the food was not prepared well. My kids and I were disappointed.

    Served all but one person their meal who happened to be an elderly woman. Waited a long time and finally had to go to kitchen to ask for other meal and sauce that was needed to eat one of the meals that was served. Food average. The only great thing was the aquarium fish everywhere.

    The calamari was the most bland food I’ve ever eaten. The rest of the food was what I would expect from an amusement park, not a crazy expensive restaurant.

    WAY overpriced, smelly, and noisy. The food was basic, but the price tag was HUGE. The server did what she could, but not amazing. I also find it absurd that you have to walk through the gift shop to get to it.

    Very slow service. We got seated at 11:00am and ordered food around 11:05am. Food didn’t come until 11:45am and really cut into our aquarium time. Or waiter didn’t check up on us once. We had to flag her down to get water refills. She also gave us the wrong bill. Food is mediocre but didn’t expect much from this type of establishment. The grilled cheese wasn’t melted and medium steak was more than well done. The veggies that came with my salmon weren’t fresh either. If you’re there for the mermaid show, that’s now on hold too. If you can, avoid the restaurant.

    All four diners were very pleased with their selection. My shrimp were all delicious, especially the bacon wrapped ones. The rice and beans were flavorful, not just spicy. And the fresh vegetable selection was generous and tasted great. We tried crocodile in the appetizer and decided it doesn't really taste like chicken--it has a taste all it's own and we liked it. Our waiter was friendly and attentive. The fish swimming by were fantastic! We will be back.

    There were six of us for dinner. We had reservations for 6:15 pm. The hostess was so pleasant and seating us immediately upon arrival. We did not have to wait for drinks or service. The atmosphere is amazing and the food delicious. The portions were large enough for us to share. Granted it was six women. We absolutely loved having dinner here. It was a first for all of us. Exceptional customer service.

    We made reservations for two at 5:00 pm on Saturday. We were seated and had to wait 15 - 20 minutes before any of the wait staff came. We could not order certain drinks because the blender was broken (not a very good excuse, there should be a back-up, a decent manager would have this well in hand). The main entree was good, the sides vegetables were not. I would not recommend this restaurant except for the view of the aquarium. Overprices for the service and quality of the food.

    View was spectacular, while busy the service was excellent. Highly recommend but maybe later when most of the young children are in bed. A very romantic place for a first date with a partner you want to impress.

    I really liked my food, but my eight year old son did not. He tried two different kind of shrimp and didn’t like either. The cheese cake was amazing and the coconut shrimp were so good. Staff was great and sitting next to the aquarium was so cool.

    Not very impressed. Service was so so. Food was ok, but hoped for better with the price. Very disappointed that they no longer have their mermaids. That was the whole reason we chose to eat there. Save your money and go elsewhere!

    Slow service he forgot he about us several times, didn’t come back to check to see if everything was ok. He lost our debit card and it was found in the wash with the dishes! The food was good the steak was dry and hard to eat. I was never asked how I wanted it cooked either!

    Food was mediocre. The Shrimp Kisses were just OK, the chicken lettuce wraps had great flavor, but were cold, and and with stuffed catfish. We immediately ordered the kids meals and requested that they come out ASAP/first. Our app came out quickly, while our meals (and the kids) took another 50 minutes to arrive. It had clearly been sitting somewhere for a while. Against our better judgement, we let the kids get ice cream and a cupcake for our daughter's birthday. We thought since it's pre-made it surely wouldn't take long. That took another 30 minutes to come out, and the ice cream was melted. The tables around us were sat later than us, ate, and left by the time we started eating. Sitting against the tank was really neat, but the service was awful (I really think it was just ours), and the food was cold. We will not be returning.

    We got the worst service I’ve ever had in my life, food was cold, drinks were warm, the server never came back to clear plates or refill drinks but we’re still expected to tip on a percentage of the bill which is a crazy amount because the food is so expensive. She didn’t even deserve 5% of the bill as tip in my opinion. My toddler went without a drink almost the entire time because we kept asking but she kept “forgetting”. She tried to set down our entrées ON TOP of huge appetizer plate, instead of clearing it first. I received the wrong order but she was so terrible, I didn’t even try correcting it because I knew it would be another hour before it came back out. I’m very sad I chose The Aquarium to celebrate my birthday as we don’t go out that much and this was just a terrible experience and waste of money.

    Our drink order was not what was in the menu, we paid for bottled root beer to get off brand cans, we requested the special icee and didn't get it. The food was of a quality you'd expect from Applebee's or Perkins for 2-1/2 times the cost. Dessert was delicious though.

    Made a reservation and was placed as far away from the aquarium as possible. I have a 5yo so it was a big disappointment for him. It then took 15 min before a server even came by. Otherwise a decent experience, but could have definitely been improved with a little effort on their part
