Pros- amazing atmosphere. Okay food. Decent servers. Drinks were tasty.
Cons- the host was very rude. Gave zero cares. Shoved us over in line with a sneer and then everyone let us stand behind a family just taking pictures and hanging out. No one said anything so we waited for like ten minutes hanging out.
Bathrooms were disgusting with TP rolling all over and overflowing trash cans.
At one point a girl at the table next to me started screaming BABE at the top of her lungs multiple times.
The whole thing was weird.

We drove from MD to TN for our daughter's dance competition and came across this restaurant and loved the theme. We dined here for lunch today and had an amazing time. It is absolutely beautiful and engaging and loved every moment of it. The food was delicious, best meal we have had so far here in Nashville! You have to try the herb crusted salmon! The ambience, food, and staff were amazing. Cheyenne was our waitress and she was a doll, absolutely loved her. Overall, a great time!

I don't even wanna give them a one. When it comes to raiding them, the restaurant was nasty bathrooms dirty. The food wasn't all that great. We all got sick after releasing lift there, some of us day later. It was not what it was all cracked up to be. The food is notwithstand the money that if a when it comes to the restaurant itself it is unbelievably dirty
And then the kids were asking for a dessert and whatever it was wasn't working. I had a very bad experience here. And so, did my daughter, she got food poisoning. I will never go back here. And to be honest, I wish I would have never spent sixty dollars

What a wonderful experience. We had a reservation at 6:15 and we showed up 30mins early and we were able to be seated without any issues. As we walked through to our tables I was mesmerized by the size of the Aquarium!!! Holly our server was so kind and took very good care of all of us. I ordered their new surf and Turf it was amazing!! The cherry tomatoes and the balsamic glaze was to die for!!!! The Tiramisu that Holly recommended to us was out of this world! It was a wonderful experience 10/10

Had a reservation at 4:15pm and was a few minutes early. They didn't have a table ready which is understandable because they stay pretty packed. You cannot beat the atmosphere as far as ambiance goes. Server was rushed, forgot things, and left us unattended but again, it was understandable. The wait for our food was looooong. I got a watermelon lit with the souvenir cup, they were sold out of the one I wanted and all but 2 but the cup I got instead was a delightful gift! I did have to ask for more watermelon syrup because holy LIQOUR! LOL. The bartender did NOT hold back 🥰🥰🥰🥰. Props to you, barkeep! Definitely worth the price. The photographer was so sweet and kind. The food came out hot, and delicious (Southwest Grilled Chicken pasta) and my watermelon shrimp was delicious (cold). Definitely worth a stop in at Opry Mills Mall for a great meal.
