- SHSedona Harker2 days ago5.0I thought this was going to be a tourist trap (overpriced mediocre food) but the atmosphere was honestly enough to convince me to dine here. It was so amazing to watch the fish as you ate. Not only was the service quick, the staff friendly, and the food delicious, but it was priced good for the food quality. However if you get the appetizer platter, you may not have room for your main course. We had plenty of leftovers to take home!! Thanks for a wonderful experience.

- ICImmy CornettJan 6, 20265.0First time eating here and My daughter is so picky about Mac and cheese and this was the best as she put it😁 our waiter Tyrin the best and made this experience great and kudos to the hostess (forgot her name sorry) for telling us a little bit about the tank and the fish in it. Best time and thank you for making this mom & daughter experience awesome 🤗
- CSChrystal StubbsJan 5, 20265.0We celebrated my MIL’s birthday at The Aquarium restaurant at her request. The staff was very friendly and accommodating to us requesting to move to a different table. One of the managers even helped us move our personal items which was so nice and appreciated. Upon arriving, they took the birthday cake in the back until we were ready for it. Brianna was our server and she was attentive, kind and met all of our requests quickly.
- JCJorge CardenasDec 29, 20251.0The place is beautiful, I went to take my daughters to live the experience, unfortunately the wait was more than 45 minutes for the table, when I went again to ask it was that they gave me the table, they had forgotten about us, then the food took too long more than an hour, we were attended by a waiter named Julio, I understand that it is not his fault that we have had a bad experience, if you go just be patient and try not to go very hungry because the wait was terrible
