Restaurants with reef Tanks

Emils hideaway is awesome. Go there all of the time. His dad even catered my wedding 27 years ago. There is a restaurant near my house here in Cedar Rapids called the Butcher Block. They have a couple of big tanks that could use some attention but the food there is very good but a little pricey.

As a sidebar Nathan who owns Emils hideaway just recently opened a restaurant called Freshwraps on Mount Vernon Rd. I haven't had a chance to eat there but it is like emils hideaway as it is tucked in behind the Dairy Queen and share the same parking lot. And I am sure it is good as well.

Splash in downtown Des Moines. Been a few years (maybe more like 8 or 9 years) since I've been there so I'm not sure if they still have them... but they used to have tons of tanks.

 

Killer, no, but Akebono has a large SW tank behind the sushi bar. It's been looking pretty sad lately.

Taki in WDSM also has one if I remember correctly.

 

It's incredible. My office is in that building...or was as of yesterday...heh. We're moving. Akebono was our "Southern board room"

 

They have 11 tanks. I clean them every week.

 

Not Really any reef tanks though. There is an anemone tank but most are fish only systems.

 

yes it's a 125 year old building, sweet sweet building though. The restaurant is kinda like 2 1/2 floors. I've been cleaning the tanks for 2 years now. They are looking pretty good now.

 

Lucky Bamboo testaurant in Ankeny has (or at least had - havent been there in awhile) a nice under counter tank. He used to sell frags if you' ask for some. Good guy.

 

He used to post here, I remember one specific sale where he basically said "Whoops, played wrecking ball during cleaning time" and had dozens of small frags

 

Tony manages emils tank. It is awesome
