Road Trip - Fall 2008: - Aquarium Restaurant Review

This is a first of series of reviews from our recent travels to the deep South and the Midwest.

Our first stop was a very brief stop in Nashville, TN at the Grande Ole Opry complex. We didn’t catch any concerts, nor did we see any country music stars. In fact I was very unimpressed with the area. I was expecting something a bit more "country" but instead it was like another super mall complex with a superhighway along the perimeter.

We did manage to enjoy a very nice lunch at the Aquarium Restaurant in the Opry Mills mall complex.

Quick Review:

  • The entrance has a large size circular ceiling to floor fish tank.
  • Another overhead viewing "fish tank" stretches through thee archway of the reception area to the entrance of the dining room.
  • There is a huge tank in the middle of the dining room featuring many types of sea creatures including sharks, schools of fish, and even a guitar nose stingray. Plus many more.
  • The restaurant itself, is well themed and very relaxing. You literally feel like you are dining at the bottom of the ocean.
  • Kids can get up and walk around to explore the fish.
  • A diver appears in the tank twice a day for feedings.
  • The service here was excellent! The waitress came around and asked if we had any questions about any of the fish.
  • Great place for the family as well as a romantic date.
  • The food was good but a bit pricey. $5.99 for kid meals. $17 and up for entrees
  • As this was lunch we had burgers and subs (about $10-$12)
