    We were seated right near the aquarium and thoroughly enjoyed watching and trying to identify the different fish.

    My girlfriend has been wanting to go here and we were not disappointed. Food was pretty damn good. You can’t beat the ambience with all the fish around you. Definitely would recommend for a good date night restaurant

    We went over Labor Day weekend with the kids. They love going to zoos and aquariums, so we figured we would eat there one night. I wasn't expecting much, but this place really delivers. The service is top notch and the food is excellent. I had a shrimp and scallop special, it was some of the best scallops I have ever had. If we are in the area again, we will be back.

    We originally planned to eat and then visit the aquarium. However, the restaurant itself featured a large tank in the center, which kept us entertained throughout the meal. The food was enjoyable; we started with the fried gator as an appetizer and tried the New Orleans platter, which I believe was a specialty dish. The kids had mac and cheese and mini hot dogs. While the meal was a bit pricey, the views of the aquarium and the overall atmosphere made it worth it. In the end, we felt so fulfilled that we decided to skip the aquarium visit altogether.

    The overall experience was just okay. Our server could have done better. She gave us the bread with no plates so of course we had to ask for those. I had the gator bites and they were mid. I wasn’t too fond of them. I had the steak which didn’t have much flavor so I requested A1 sauce. The server was pretty much non existent. When I did see her, I had to ask her to refill my water. The ambiance is nice so we enjoyed seeing the fishes and the stingrays. This was our first time coming to this establishment. I don’t think we’ll come back to eat but probably will come back to your the actual aquarium.
