The mason jar my latte came in made me feel the price was somewhat justified on that. The sweets display really well, but are overpriced. $9.95 for a chocolate chip cookie. $20 for a large macaroon.If you’re inside and want coffee, you’ll probably end up here one way or another.

If you have food allergies, BEWARE, they may not have much knowledge of the food when you ask who is working there. I thought I had read on some reviews that they have garlic fries and gF buns, but they did not. I also thought it was a sit down food place so maybe my info was not correct. However, minus all that- I won’t eat here again if we go back. $87 for 3 fries, 3 drinks and a rib meal. Ridiculous! It’s buffet style and not at all relaxing or organized. I gave 2 stars for service only because the woman who helped me check out was nice and enthusiastic. Beautiful windows to see the ocean but way to busy to fully enjoy it.

I thought a burger or a mac and cheese would be safe… WRONG. Amazing aquarium but this place serves hot garbage for $18 a plate. The ONLY edible thing on our plates was the fries. There was something off about the meat… Like it was frozen and cooked on the dirtiest, fishiest grill? I don’t know what it was… Worst burger I’ve ever tasted Oddly the macaroni had a similar taste and smell.
The bill was over $77 for three of us, WITH A DISCOUNT!
The craft sodas weren’t good either and $8 for a fountain drink. Save your money.

We took a gander at this cafe its got ample seating and gorgeous food presentation but don’t waste your money here.
A cup of chowder is 18 dollars you can go down the block to louie linguini and buy a 9 dollar cup of chowder. We realize that the prices here go right back into the aquarium and the work it does but thats just rediculous.

It was very crowded and expensive. I love the variety but there are some unique takes. I attached a photo of my “popcorn shrimp.” I was unable to photograph the crab sandwich as it had a hair in it. The staff were able to provide a refund, but I didn’t want a new one as my appetite diminished.

When I with my family had a lunch in this cafe, we really loved their chicken and potato fries. But, we did not like their salmon&rice salad. And, the price of foods are a bit high. Anyway, we really enjoyed our lunch sitting in the place with an amazing Ocean view

Surprisingly really good food for a cafe inside an attraction. Yes it’s a little higher priced than you’d get outside, but not overly priced. Plus the portions are big enough for 2-3 platters feeding a family of four. Also must give credit to all the staff who were extremely friendly and welcoming, even when the crowds were big. Dining room is also fairly large, with great views of the water while you eat. Not a bad dining option all around

Food was ok but Not A 5 Star! and as others say kind overpriced! but you will expect to be in that specific place. Why to many people and not much room where to eat.

After a wonderful trip to the Aquarium, the meals looked interesting and not too expensive for this kind of venue, but the charge of $9.49 for a simple Ice Tea was ridiculous. Left a bad taste at the end of an amazing visit. There were no prices on the drinks. Be warned.
