Merlion RestaurantMother's Day diningWe have been visiting this restaurant since the first week they opened their doors. The food, wine, and service is always exceptional! It is our "go to" special place!5/12/2013 12:00:00 AMMake an evening of itGood enough to stick around after dinner for an after-dinner cocktail, dessert or to makw new friends by the fire on the gorgeous patio.5/11/2013 12:00:00 AMBest kept secret in Clear Lake areaChef Andrew makes the best Thai food we have ever had in the US. Each dish is made to order, so be prepared to wait more than 10 minutes for your dish. But it is worth it. The peppers have been spicy lately, '2' is very hot, so if you like more mild spices, select a '1' for the level of spice.5/8/2013 12:00:00 AMUnexpected gem in an old home!

Awesome and we will be back.4/11/2013 12:00:00 AMYou must try this place!Our first time here and was so excited to learn that the chef (who came out to speak to us before our meal) is the son of another great Thai chef who had a restaurant near the current location back in the 90's. I loved that place and missed it when it closed. This new version is all that and more. The food is great!. If you are afraid that Thai is too spicy don't be. My dish was prepared exactly the way I described my spice level to our very knowledgeable wait person. They did not have my favorite wine on their list but she found a perfect substitute. We will be back often!3/30/2013 12:00:00 AMLoved the chefs table special!Loved the chefs table special! Not knowing what you're going to eat was fun!

The food is deliscious, everything the staff suggested was amazing, the ambiance is awesome and I cannot wait to go back!3/14/2013 12:00:00 AMAmazing!The food was amazing and the service was perfection. The Chef/Owner came out after we dined to ask us if everything was to our liking. The only problem is I live in Phoenix wish they had a restaurant here. The food was super fresh and the presentation was really nice. Great place to go any day of the week.3/7/2013 12:00:00 AMFeels like homePer previous reviews, I also agree that the staff are super helpful - trust them! They are privy even to the relative spice level of the peppers that are being used that day (e.g. peppers are a level hotter than a typical 3 - go with level 2). That's pretty outstanding, if you ask me!2/15/2013 12:00:00 AMTrust the servers - they getTrust the servers - they get it. This place hits the jackpot.1/26/2013 12:00:00 AM
