Why too noisy for fine dining. Kids running around without any supervision making the experience less enjoyable. It was hard to hear our waitress or our selfs.

Food was some of the worst I’ve ever had at a dine in restaurant. The server checked on us once and when we asked for the check, she said “she got distracted” however we were her only table. Absolutely will never go back or spend money there again.

Out of town. Found online. It is in the mall. That said, not nearly as nice as pictured by restaurant. The pics of food are not even close. More like a Red Lobster in the middle of the mall with a big wall size fish tank in middle of room. Plenty of family and kids. Cool to see, don’t go for the food or ambiance.

We went here to celebrate our daughter’s 13th birthday. Our server made her birthday special by singing to her and bringing her a cupcake. He even remembered her name at the end of our meal, wishing her a Happy Birthday. He was phenomenal! I wish I could remember his name. He had a really rad mustache, that my husband commented on. Our food was delicious! The ambience of watching the fish swim around was very relaxing and enjoyable. We will definitely come back again!

Restaurant was very well laid out. Had 3 fish tanks, the largest one of which was in the dining area. Very interesting fish. We stayed about 30 minutes after dinner just to check out all the different fish. I would definitely recommend if you have the time.

The food was amazing and the fish were super cute; however, when we made the reservation we asked for a good view of the fish. When we got there we were seated in the ONLY section that had an obscured view of the fish. It was sad. There were tables open in the other areas but the only other table we were told we could move to was even farther away.

My boyfriend and I were in from out of town and this was our big "fancy" date night while in Nashville. I had been wanting to go for a long time time. Service was great and the food was pretty good. It's kind of pricey, but what I expected for the experience. The portions are pretty good, though, and I had enough to take home for lunch the next day!

It’s really just one tank in the middle of the restaurant. And the food is not worth the price. It’s just normal food. So lower your expectations. Also it’s very loud! Don’t expect to have conversations. It is worth going just one time.

The food was not edible. No flavor on anyone’s meals. Even the kids complained there was no flavor. The one kids meal only have the grill cheese was actually grilled. Terrible I bc wish I could give a minus 5 star. So sad for our first time and wanted to give the kids a cute experience. We won’t be back.
