   It's a great restaurant for kids, the tanks keep them entertained. Our server was great as well. Food just is not good at all. We'll be back I'm sure as we always have dinner or lunch after an aquarium trip out of ease. Just wish it was more edible.

   Fish and chips taste great, and the burger is outstanding! We enjoyed simply chatting and watching the fish, but the food put our experience over the top.

   The food, desserts and ambience were absolutely perfect. My 5 and 3 year olds along with my friend and her twin 6 month olds absolutely loved it. we got a booth and it was great. Our server was so sweet and great with us.

   The food was great and our server was great, however how long everything took was not okay. Our reservation was for 5:45 and we were not seated until 6, and did not get waters or see any waiter for 10 minutes. We didn’t get our food until 7:15! We planned to enjoy the aquarium after but we’re not able to due to the restaurants mishap. Absolutely would not recommend to anyone.

   The ambience, food and service are excellent! I suggest making a 5pm reservation on a Friday night to see the mermaid show during dinner then enjoy discounted tickets to the aquarium after six!

    Had reservations for the restaurant after going to the Aquarium. Still had to wait an hour for a table at 1pm on a Monday afternoon. We had the calamari which was breaded and bland and it was nothing special. We also had the gator and shimp tacos and the fish tacos. The gator and shimp tacos were breaded and fried and bland. The fish tacos were okay, but they were VERY messy and fell apart trying to eat them, so they were more of "fork" food. The pricing is OUTRAGEOUS! Lunch for two people was over $100 with tip and that was only for one appetizer, two club sodas and the two plates of fish tacos and one dessert. So, the experience wasn't as ideal as I recall when I visited this place before (but, that was over 5 years ago.)

    We had a good experience except for the wait. We had a reservation yet had to wait 10 minutes to get seated, and we checked in at least 5 minutes early. Our server was excellent, though, which helped make up for the wait.

    We have eaten here several times and it is usually good. This time, though, we had a waiter that was spaced-out, forgetful and distracted. Long, long wait times just to order or even be acknowledged, then several items were completely forgotten and finally brought after several reminders. Took almost two hours to complete our meal. We will come back, but hopefully not with THIS guy. Although with his lack of performance I don’t see him lasting long there.

    This was an amazing place to take our kids. They sit us right by the aquarium tank and our kids were fascinated! No devices needed. In addition, the food and service was excellent!

    To be honest, I thought this restaurant would be more upscale than it was. I made a reservation far in advance and requested a table next to a fish tank as we were celebrating our recent engagement- however that request was no honored. I also found the grilled shrimp to be overcooked. However, the boursin salmon, fried shrimp, and clam chowder were are well seasoned and delicious! The creme brûlée was killer, and very worth it. The prices were reasonable, and comprable to a Red Lobster level pricing. We wish our spot would have been better, as we were tucked away into a sad booth on the far wall (we could see some of the tanks at least though), but I found the food to be reasonable for the pricing!

    Service was good. We both had the castaway combo and got sick. Cross contamination? Quite loud in there. We enjoyed watching the fish swim while we were there. Overall I’d say 2/5.

    Service was fine, the food was terrible and overpriced. Half the food was undercooked, lettuce was brown and wilted, tomatoes were green with stem/core, fries were limp. Almost nothing was seasoned except for the bun with just salt. Expect to pay $20-$30 dollars per dish and wish you had gone to McDonalds instead. Seems like they don't even have a grill and just microwaved everything. Poorly microwaved at that.

    The mermaids are the only reason we come to the aquarium restaurant. We are so excited they are back, but only one mermaid was there for 2 songs so it’s not a really long show. The staff were very nice and helpful. But the food leaves a lot to be desired! For the premium price, I expect much better food!

    I made a reservation for 7 (5 adults, 2 kids) we were seated 30 minutes after our selected reserved time, all while they were taking walk ins sooner than seating us. I was very annoyed. We did end up having a seat next to the fish tank, which was cool, especially for the kids. The food was alright, not amazing, but definitely not terrible. It’s convenient to go eat there after touring the exhibit.
