    The Aquarium is beautiful. There are no bad dining seats. We thoroughly enjoyed watching God's beautiful creatures during our meal. The entrees were beautifully plated. And delicious. I have food allergies and our waiter, Rashun (ruh-shawn) was so helpful, attentive, kind. A great server. The chef, Jackson, and Jameel the manager both made sure my order was safe for my needs. We definitely will go back. Thank you all for a lovely meal in beautiful surroundings!

    Tarsha was an excellent server (though very busy, so we rarely saw her). The management team was stellar in delivering food and checking in. Everyone there was really great. The food was not worth the price point, in my opinion, even on Valentine's Day. The venue itself is gorgeous.
