Our 7 year old's birthday dinner and Tasha was an amazing server (personable, knowledgeable, and so helpful), food was prepared to perfection and they even handled my gluten and shrimp allergy well. We had so much fun and enjoyed the whole experience. Thank you, Tasha and the Downtown Aquarium staff for making my little's birthday and our friend's first time to your restaurant so amazing!!
My God this place is so amazing I had a somewhat great time, I enjoyed walking through the exhibit sing all the fishes and seeing at the tigers. Unfortunately I came at a terrible time because it was raining but the food here was semi okay I ordered their Cajun pasta it was a bit greasy for my liking but overall the service was good. The only ride that was available was the train it was amazing seeing all the sharks in a very big tunnel really amazed me. I even like the story about there was a great white shark in captivity but of course everyone knows you can't keep a great white shark in captivity because it's too big. But overall as soon as I got done with the ride it stopped raining I did a few games big shout out to Antonio and Gabriel for a wonderful time except one game, which was the basketball game upstairs near the carousel the person there what's so rude they even cussed me out call me a stupid dumbass, I guess they thought I walked away far enough unfortunately I did catch their name. Their name was Mayra. It really upsetted me. I told somebody about it but it look like they didn't do anything. But I do want to give shout out to the other members of the aquarium. I hope they fire that girl.

We had a wonderful lunch for my child’s second birthday. The restaurant was very accommodating with my change in reservation sizes last minute, with zero issues (12 to 18 persons). We brought our own cake and our waiter Ty (Tyrin) was very helpful with cutting the cake and serving it to everyone. It allowed me to enjoy singing and eating.
Highly recommend eating at the aquarium instead of leaving to a secondary location.

I brought my husband here tonight for his birthday! It was our first visit, and the entire staff was super enthusiastic and informative about the main dining room tank. You can tell they’re passionate for their fish, which as aquatic enthusiasts, means a lot to us. Our waiter, Tyrin, went above and beyond in all of the ways. He was helpful without being pushy, he was kind without overplaying it, and he made our dinner very comfortable. The food was fantastic - Tyrin suggested the fried gator which was AMAZING. For entrees, my husband got the fried butterfly shrimp and I got the chicken parm & shrimp pasta. We shared dishes and both were better than we could’ve anticipated. After all was said and done, Tyrin surprised my husband with a birthday cupcake, and him and I joined together for a 2-man choir of “Happy Birthday.” He truly went above and beyond as our waiter and is the main reason I wanted to write this review.
Loved the experience, loved the food, loved the fish, and loved the staff.
