    We enjoyed the special Christmas dinner. The portions were very generous (we brought home enough for lunch) & very well prepared. The turkey was moist, the ham tender & flavorful. The sweet potatoes were delicious, and the green beans were perfectly crisp tender. The entire visit was most enjoyable.

    It was my daughters 8th birthday. She ordered the kids burgers with fries. I ordered the castaway platter. My girlfriend ordered the greek salad with chicken breast. Our server was very friendly and made no mistakes on our order. But the service was very slow. From the time we ordered to the time we got our food was about 40 minutes. I could tell our food had sat in the window under a heat lamp for a very long time. The hamburger buns were toasted on top and stale. The burger patty was cold. The fries were dead. The mozzarella sticks were warm on the outside but the cheese on the inside was cold. The calamari was cold and chewy. The quesadilla was cold. The shrimp dip was warm but the top layer had a hard skin from sitting out for so long. My girlfriend says her salad was fresh and the chicken breast tasted great. If the kitchen had waited much longer to fire our order or if there were additional food runners to assist our server then our food wouldn't have sat in the window for so long and it would have all been great I assume. Based on this single experience I don't plan on eating there again. And the price was outrageous for what we got but we did expect that so no quarrels there.

    The food was excellent, the ambiance will not allow a higher score! The service is fair as it is mostly teenagers.

    The bar was closed during happy hour for a private event, but the restaurant honored HH pricing. Marcel was a great server. Food was good, mixed drinks could’ve used some work.

    Me, my hubby, our son, my adult daughter, our son-in-law and grandson came here for a fun family Saturday afternoon. I made reservations and got an amazing deal on Groupon!!! This was my daughter & grandson's first visit. He's 15 months and loves fish! It was such a beautiful, magical experience and memories forever. We went to get lunch first. The hostess, Stephanie, was super efficient, friendly and professional. She got us a table right by the tank with our grandson right next to it. I appreciated how she went above and beyond to ensure a perfect experience. Our server was attentive and friendly. The drinks were great. I had Rosita Margarita (new item) & A grog martini & the shrimp spinach wrap. They had a few drinks and loved them all. Food was hot and delicious. We went through the exhibit afterwards. It was a perfect memory we'll have.

    For my 50th birthday, I reserved the Water Room and had 20 guests to celebrate. Even on a busy Friday evening, the experience was one-of-a-kind, outstanding, and memorable. The food was unique and delicious. Almost everyone tried some gator (and loved it)! The value for the cost of reserving the room is phenomenal. After our dinner, we toured the aquarium, and several guests said that their experience was OUTSTANDING, and something they will remember forever. If you're planning a celebration for 20'ish people, the reservation cost per person is extremely low, and I cannot more highly recommend the Aquarium Restaurant's Water Room!
