   I am extremely disappointed with our overall experience at your restaurant. It appears my order of the “Thanksgiving Dinner” was mere leftovers as it did not look anything like other plates being brought out to other guests. I had only 3-4 small bits of what appeared to be turkey leg where others had. 3-4 large slices of turkey breast. We orders the “shark explosion dessert” to share and when it arrived it was mostly melted and did not even have the shark fin on top. Again, it looked nothing like the other deserts being brought out. Our server never came to refill our drinks. My family’s experience is not what I was expecting for spending over $100 for a dinner. We will not be back.

   I am grateful for the stellar holiday meal at the Downtown Aquarium. A delicious meal, festive atmosphere, and delightful value all the way around. Thank you, Aaron, for hosting a fabulous Thanksgiving!

   To be fair, this is based on a Thanksgiving Day luncheon buffet but take that out and insert a normal a la carte menu evening and the scores would be the same. The ambience can't be beat with the giant fish tank (I think a few were angry at me when they saw I had some salmon and shrimp) and, if anything, on a less busy time, already great service might be even better. Selections for the buffet were plentiful, kept hot where appropriate and filled. That prevented the herd mentality that can arise at a buffet not maintained well. They have been upping their game with cuisine over the past few years to where this is worth considering even if you are not planning on touring (at separate cost) the terrific aquarium itself.

   Experience with the atmosphere was good and service was good. Food however left a lot to be desired. Wasn’t satisfied with the quality and taste of the food. Servings seemed very off in terms of ratio of what was on the plate. And based on the quality was over priced

   Our experience was fantastic! Our hostess Emily Bennett was extremely friendly, efficient, and made sure we had everything we needed, even moving us tables when we asked to be closer to the fish tank! Our server Genna was also awesome and had great service!

   Food was good and the server was sweet, but the wait time was absolutely ridiculous. We were excited to be sat 30 mins early but the entire meal took 2.5 hours. And we wanted to get home to get little kids to bed. Ambiance was a bit too loud and open for my liking. And it was expensive!

   I asked to have my grand daughter sit close to the aquarium as it was her first time (she’s 4)/ We were places in a booth which was fine but so many people stood in our way to see the mermaids and she wasn’t able to see them fully
