    This was our first time here, and it was very enjoyable, as well as educational. Talk to the staff and learn how all the fish are fed daily. OMG, what a wonderful and major undertaking.

    Disappointing. We sat at our table for almost 10 minutes and had to ask for a server before we were greeted and asked our drink order. It was right after they opened and thy were not busy. Appetizers and salads were not bad and came out fast. Entrees were not very good. Shrimp scampi ravioli had only three very overcooked shrimp. Sampler appetizer platter was incredibly greasy and the fried gator, calamari, and cheese curds tasted like they were fried in old grease. The aquarium was cool, lots of fish. Ultimately it was not worth the expensive menu prices.

    I hate leaving bad reviews but gosh even my kids did not eat their food except the fries. Kids Pizza was not good at all, water tastes horrible, the calamari was dried, over fried and rubbery, we couldn't even eat it. I was disappointed to say the least. Good thing we are not from around here , definitely will not go back there again. Not the dining experience I am accustomed to.

    We recently dined at The Aquarium Restaurant in Nashville, and while the ambiance was absolutely stunning, everything else fell flat. The food was, quite frankly, disappointing. My shrimp Alfredo had overcooked, rubbery shrimp atop cold pasta. My husband tried the German chocolate cheesecake and found it bland with an odd, unappealing texture. Even my child’s burger had a strange aftertaste that made us question the quality. Service was mediocre at best, with our server disappearing for long stretches, leaving us without water or refills for most of the meal. Not the worst service we’ve ever had, but certainly not what you would expect from a place with such an impressive atmosphere and high prices. All in all, it was a major letdown. The setting had so much potential, but the food and service didn’t come close to matching it. We left disappointed, and unfortunately, feeling like the experience just wasn’t worth the cost.
