- TTroyLondon •10 reviews5.0Dined 3 days agoNoko was fantastic and our waiter Mitch was the man. Really appreciate his knowledge and attention to detail on our entire experience. It was our first time and we will definitely be coming back. My wife and I guy 7 different dishes and Mitch gifted us one he didn’t want us to miss out on. Best of the Best: Tuna Crispy Rice, Lobster Bao Buns, Korean Hot Wings, Brussels Good: Burrata - maybe a little too sweet with the jam. Not our favs: bone marrow, crab fried rice Overall this experience was awesome and the entire menu sounded fire. Great date night spot!More infoNokoPrice: Expensive• Asian• East Nashville•4.9

- RRichTampa / Central Florida West •37 reviews5.0Dined on Nov 12, 2024A unique ‘aquarium’ atmosphere with excellent service, made this dining experience, prior to attending the Grand Ole Opry, very pleasant. Our server, Avery, was excellent. Her personable demeanor, and helpful assistance, together with her knowledge of the fish swimming by, made for a very nice evening. My wife and I both had versions of dishes with crawfish, shrimp & andouille sausage. Both were satisfyingly at reasonable prices, as was the wine list.More infoAquarium Restaurant - Opry MillsPrice: Moderate• Seafood• Donelson•4.2
