    Was very disappointed. Got the mother’s days special for me and wife and three kids. The steaks were all over cooked like they were under a warmer. Like they were made in bulk for the rush and sold. The shrimp was cold. They ran out of the dessert and only had the brownie, when we ordered the ice cream. Was not allowed to substitute for different dessert. Serever was wore out and was staffed on too many tables. Drinks stayed empty and had to call her to Our table to try to get a refill. Our bar drinks took longer to come out over 15 mins after we ordered them. Was not worth the value for over 400 dollars. Floors was dirty, table was wiped off but the walk ways and in front of our table was full of food and scraps. Just not worth the value for a such a special day.

    A great experience! My toddler loved it and I personally have a shell fish allergy and was very nervous about finding something to eat with it being a seafood restaurant. The manager was incredibly helpful and even personally brought my food to me just to be extra safe that there was no cross contamination and that meant the world that she cared! We would 100% be back.

    Our server Toby was so kind and amazing. Food was a 7/10 for us but had great presentation. The vibe and ambiance was what we really loved. Not often do you get to dine and look at fish. Really felt like we were inside an aquarium. Whenever we’re back in Nashville, we’ll be coming back!

    I took my 3 grandkids here for a special treat. The ambiance is great however, we waited 15 minutes to just get water. We ordered, 2 adult meals and 3 kids meals. It took an hour to get our food. The food was bland with little to no flavor. This is a one and done and I would only recommend anyone going just for the experience not the food or service.
