Provided by YP.comThis is a restaurant you go to for the entertainment value. There is a 200,000 gallon salt water aquarium in the middle of the restaurant. There are a lot of different kinds of fish, eels and stingrays in the aquarium. Great place to take kids!!! Our son who is 2 absolutely loves it here. Recommend coming around the fishes feeding time at 11:30 and then 5:30. Fish are very active at this time! We really enjoy the food here as well...a little pricy, but worth it!

Provided by YP.comMy husband and I were in Nashville for a rock show and he wanted to go here for lunch before we headed back home. When we entered I thought it must be a place just for little kids because it was a circus inside. Then I saw the prices on the menu and thought people must be insane to take kids there. I wish the people who had good meals here would detail everything they ordered because the menu must just be a minefield. Our order was quickly taken but took a little less than an hour to come out.
I had the shrimp scampi - $19. This was about 6 tail-on shrimp hidden somewhere beneath the surface in a bowl of putrid butter. It's not so easy cutting the tails off of shrimp when everything is covered with congealed butter. The pasta was a single cold clump - part of it was mushy and part was uncooked (there was no sauce). The mixed steamed vegetables were raw and decaying.
My husband got a shrimp po-boy - $15. The bread was greasy, as if someone literally poured oil on top of it. It was disgusting to the touch and there were only 3 shrimp inside. The (cold) fries were inedible as if they were cooked in really old oil.
The shrimp both of us were served were rubbery and had no flavor. The lettuce, etc on his sandwich and the "steamed" vegetables with my meal all tasted strongly of some sort of chemicals. Our service was ok, considering how jam packed the place was. At least we didn't order salads like the people beside us - that looked beyond disgusting and no one at the table (6 adults) touched their food after the first bite.
We paid and started to leave. I tripped twice on black serving trays that had been left on the floor for some reason. It's really too dark in there to notice when someone has done something like that, and I can't imagine why the staff at any restaurant would anyway. By the time we got out to the front my husband decided to complain. He spent about 8 years of his life working in a restaurant and has never done this before. They brought out a manager who said they never got any complaints about their food and he was baffled. He didn't offer any refunds and we didn't ask for one, but he did offer to have more food made for us. As I said, my husband spent about 8 years of his life working in a restaurant and wasn't about to eat food brought out after making a complaint. I can't imagine any food on the menu being safe anyway.
Nice atmosphere if you can sit by the aquarium. The fountain drinks are safe but I could not in good conscience recommend anything else.
