| Cafe Ray Gets Facelift |
|
Dining at The Florida Aquarium is about to undergo a tremendous renovation for the improved experience of our guests. Aquarium partner Aramark will be making improvements to Cafe Ray through a multi-phase project totalling $200,000. The first phase of the project has begun with temporary food service being provided outside at the Tampa Tribune Cantina. During the renovation, a limited menu will be available with grilled items, salads and sandwiches. The newly improved Cafe will offer an enhanced dining experience where guests order their food from one location and avoid having to stand in multiple lines to gather their meals. The menu will also change with the addition of seasonal items to better provide for our guests' selections. Phase two of the project will occur in 2007 and include an improved dining area, as well as, table and chair upgrades. Please pardon the inconvenience while we work to improve your experience at The Florida Aquarium.
