Aquarium Lounge was small, quaint and our food was delicious! They offer a few good, signature/seasonal cocktails along with traditional cocktail selections and a small but above par wine list! Gabrielle provided excellent service with a smile and witty banter.

I absolutely love this place. Troy and Amanda are the best. We just moved here from California and found this gem. Our new friendly neighborhood bar!!! P.S. They serve oysters and steak (my husband I's favorite food)!

One of the best restaurants around, consistently, hands down. Always good service and delicious food with the best quality ingredients. It's one of our go to places when we want an upscale meal without worrying about getting what we pay for. Excellent seafood, sandwiches, and great bread. The French Onion soup is also top notch and the roasted red pepper chicken soup is a delicious meal all by itself.

There are two entrances, one to a casual bar space and one to a fine dining restaurant. I believe the menu is same in both spaces, but we tend to visit the bar for appetizers and the restaurant for steaks and seafood. I've eaten here dozens of times and never had a bad meal or experience.
