Description: This was a really neat restaurant for people of all ages. It is located in the Opry Mills shopping mall in Nashville. We arrived without reservations, so we had to wait to be seated, but they gave us a pager that worked in the entire mall, so we actually shopped around the mall while waiting, and that really made the wait go by fast. When the pager went off, we got in line to get a host or hostess to seat us, and that line took a few minutes, but we were surrounded by tanks of fish to look at during this wait. Once we were seated, we got our menus and our waiter came by quickly. We ate there the night of Valentine’s Day, so the place was pretty crowded.
The restaurant has a 200,000-gallon aquarium with over 100 species of fish, so it is pretty neat. It gives you the feel of eating under the ocean. The fish are all around you and it is a little dark, so it is a pretty neat place. I have had a few people who said they did not like this place because they didn’t like to watch fish swim around while eating fish, so you have to overlook that part to really enjoy the experience. I ate shrimp, so that wasn’t a problem for me.
They had several specials the night we were there for Valentine's Day, and I ordered what our waiter recommended, which was broiled stuffed shrimp. The others ordered a seafood platter, and I ordered my young son mini cheeseburgers and fries. All of the food was really good, and my stuffed shrimp was the best I have ever had—wonderful. My rice was a little on the gummy side, though. The kid's menu was really good. It had a pretty good variety mac and cheese, cheeseburgers, corn dogs, shrimp, fish, and more. The adult menu also has a large variety of choices. They offered many seafood platters, chicken, beef, sandwiches, soups, fish, shrimp, and pasta. They had a wide choice of each of these, too. There were several things I wanted to order, and that is why I just let the waiter give me a suggestion.
The food came pretty quick, but we had to flag down someone and ask for drink refills. They were very busy that night, so I overlooked that since the food tasted so good. This is a restaurant I plan to visit again on my next trip to Nashville.
