Wolfgang Puck is in charge of the catering and the restraunt at the aquarium


Large viewing windows into the Aquarium’s aquatic habitats are found in the 16,400 sq. ft. Aquarium ballroom, which anchors the Aquarium event space. The ballroom can service 1,100 for a seated dinner and up to 1,800 for a reception. More intimate spaces are available for private gatherings, and the entire Aquarium accommodates up to 10,000 for larger events. WPC will maintain a full-service catering operation, including a kosher kitchen on site.

Chuck Banicki, formerly General Manager of the American Museum of Natural History for Restaurant Associates, will oversee the 250-seat Café Aquaria, located on the Aquarium’s atrium level. According to Banicki, Café Aquaria will have a selection of “Best in Class” café stations featuring local and national favorites and appealing to a broad range of tastes.

“Each food station will have a signature item, kid’s meals will be served in fun Café Aquaria bags and guests will enjoy an open kitchen at each station,” Banicki said.

The food area will include:

The Grill, featuring hamburgers and chicken quesadillas
Naples Pizza and Pasta, with signature pizza and pastas
Buckhead Bread, Buckhead Life Restaurant Group’s spinoff of its popular Buckhead Bread Company concept, featuring soups, salads and sandwiches crafted on fresh baked bread
Ben and Jerry’s Ice Cream, including a signature “Deepo” cookie honoring the Aquarium’s lovable mascot.
