by Alla Moxness on Took my honeydip here last night to celebrate his birthday. Yes, I had a groupon, but I had been wanting to try it for a while so the timing was perfect. My first impression was of the valet. As I had read on other reviews, they truly are an extension of the restaurant. He was all smiles and handshakes upon our arrival, and as we left he was sure to ask about our meals and comment on our selections. A nice guy. Entering the restaurant definitely put me in the mood for a nice dinner with my honey. There was a guy playing keyboards. Some type of NOLA jazz or something. Although the place was medium-lit, it was still very romantic with candles on all of the tables. The decor is beautiful and you really felt like you were at some place special. Service was attentive without being obtrusive. We started out with appetizers- the trio of sausages and the beer can chicken turnover. Honeydip quite enjoyed the sausages. The chicken curry was my fave. The mustard was apparently very hot, though I didn't taste it. The beer chicken turnover was very good. I could have eaten about 3 of those with a coke whilst sitting at home on my couch and been on hog heaven. For entrees honeydip got the stufed catfish and I had the trout. The catfish was really good, although I thought the portion was a bit small. My trout was just okay. The fish lacked flavor, but I liked the hoppin john underneath. For dessert we split the apple crisp. It was heavenly with the smallest scoop of brown sugar ice cream on top. I'll also add that we were brought warm sliced bread with cold, hard butter. Had the butter been a little soft, I would have devoured that offering. Overall, I enjoyed the experience and the food. I can't wait to go back when I am not with child to try some other selections and have a glass of wine. Everyone in the dining room seemed to be enjoying it.
by Brian N. on Until someone else in the United States begins housing whale sharks, this is a 5-star aquarium. You should go see the exhibit. Even if the rest of the aquarium is lesser than those in other states, it doesn't matter b/c you will never otherwise get a chance to see the largest fish in the world. Four of them. Diversity at this aquarium is good. Not the best but solid enough to be your money's worth. They're attentive to what attractions might be interesting to patrons and rather than have your routine seal/sea lion exhibits at sea world they focus your attention on the feeding of the more obscure animals like cuttlefish and PIRANHA. Piranha...yes. If you've ever wanted to see a pack of 20 of these guys just demolish a dead fish and go from fish to bones in less than 5 minutes, this is the place to see it. If you've ever wanted to see a tank of cuttle fish strike at pieces of fish dropped in the water, again, this is the place. There are things here that you just don't get to see in other places. So maybe their moon jellly exhibit is not as large as others, but who cares about jellyfish. They are LESSER organisms. Wobegongs and sawtooth sharks are not common to see. They're here. --------- This is where things get hard. ------------ Biggest complaint about this aquarium? Less than knowledgeable employees. I just wanted to know if the whale shark was sedated during its flight from Taiwan to Atlanta and how its enclosure during transport was able to provide it with filtered water and oxygen and rather than say, "That's a good question. I don't know." she tried to spout off some crap about Beluga skulls. You can't pull that on me. Their mascot is also really unfortunate. They picked a Garibaldi and that lets me know that the people at this aquarium know not shit about fish and are trying to cater to something very commercial. G is for Garibaldi? The garibadi are a pacific fish with no relation whatsoever to Georgia. They may have done better with a grouper or a garden eel. Anyhow, UPS and Home Depot plastered all over for sure. Definitely external market forces at play here.
