So we had friends come through town and they wanted to meet up for dinner.\u00a0 A wonderful surprise and it felt weird as we don’t really live in Nashville just yet.\u00a0\u00a0They have a toddler and wanted to eat some place that would be entertaining for her.\u00a0 They gave us the options to pick from Macaroni Grill, Nashville Aquarium and Dave & Busters.\u00a0 We stayed with our first choice the Aquarium<\/a>.\u00a0 OMG it is located in the Opry\u00a0Mills Mall<\/a>.\u00a0 For those who know me well you know that I HATE the mall and I really hate crowds of people.\u00a0 As we were looking for a parking spot I could feel my anxiety kicking in and my blood pressure elevating.\u00a0 WHEW! This is going to be fun right?\u00a0<\/p>\n

So it is much like the Rainforest Cafe <\/a>if you have ever seen one, of course I find out later that they are the same company.\u00a0 As you walk in there is a giant arch of fish tank and inside is 1 of everyone’s favorite and probably the most famous fish ever, NEMO.\u00a0 Yes they have a clown fish but please don’t tell all the children that it’s not Nemo I am pretty sure I couldn’t handle the screaming.\u00a0 No picture as it was too full of people all the time.\u00a0But here is the entrance. Personally I am a fan of the bubbles.

They have a pretty big selection on their menu<\/a>.\u00a0 I started out with a TIDAL WAVE: Skyy Vodka, DeKuyper Banana Liqueur, Peachtree Schnapps, Blue Curacao with Sweet and Sour\u2026$7.99. Come on it’s a blue drink it won’t be bad or let you down! Could of done without the Martini glass since we had a little one at the table but she didn’t even make a move for it. I did find it odd that they would serve fish in a place filled with fish tanks. I mean it’s a 200,000 gallon tank that had a real diver in it for a bit.<\/p>\n

So they bring you FREE and FRESH sour dough bread with butter.\u00a0 YUM.\u00a0 Very nice.\u00a0<\/p>\n

For dinner Kerry had the Asian Sea Bass and Shrimp with rice and seasonal veggies and I had the Chicken Fried Chicken with mashed potatoes, gravy on the side and seasonal veggies.\u00a0 I have to say our meals were good the breading on the chicken was nice and light and the chicken was moist.\u00a0 Somewhat of a problem though is that the food (both of ours not sure about the others) was nearly cold or barely warm.\u00a0 Not exactly what you are looking for at ~$20 a plate. Service was also very lacking as we didn’t get refills.<\/p>\n

Over all the place was not bad and if people were visiting and wanted to go there I could bring myself to go without a whole lot of anxiety.\u00a0 The biggest issue was the $$ for what you were getting and the lack of service.\u00a0 Service can be different but you do pay a lot more for what I would consider regular food.<\/p>\n

As a side note we inquired about how many of these restaurants there actually are and the answer was 4 but now they are down to 2.\u00a0 Apparently two of the restaurants were destroyed by the Hurricanes.\u00a0 I can’t seem to find that information.\u00a0 \ud83d\ude41\u00a0 Laundry’s owns many restaurants<\/a>\u00a0plus hotels. <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
