The atmosphere was great but our food came about an hour after we were there and it was not hot. We had a family birthday celebration for 4 of us so that is not a lot of people to serve and the restaurant was not full so not sure why our food was late and barely warm. Our waitress was great and even brought us all ice cream with birthday candles and a song so we didn't complain. I had not been there in several years, and not sure I want to try it again. .

Food was ok. We were seated as far as possible from the aquarium when the restaurant was not very busy. Ours ever did a very good job. Calamari was fried to hard and not great, but not the worst I’ve had. Entree was seafood platter? Stuffed crab was best thing on the plate, the rest was just ok. Atmosphere was fine would probably be better after dark.

We took our grown kids and grandkids for lunch on a busy holiday weekend at the Kemah Boardwalk. The food and service (Seth) were great. Of course, it’s pricy but it’s a tourist attraction so it’s to be expected. The huge aquarium was well stocked with unique creatures. The stingray exhibit and other reptiles were awesome!! We all enjoyed our visit!

We had a girls weekend and ate at the aquarium twice, the food is excellent and so is the service the first night our waiter was Ty, and the next day our waiter was Rob. Both guys were very friendly, attentive, and professional! Looking forward to going back.

We had a great experience at Aquarium! We ordered an appetizer sampler which was wonderful and looked just like it was pictured on the menu. We ordered a variety of meals and they were all excellent and fresh. We would absolutely recommend it and would love to go back.

Tasty burgers and other food. But even if you book a table be prepared to wait15 minutes. The front desk ladies are not so welcoming. Looking down at you. Def need better staff. The waiter forgot to bring extra plate so my husband couldn’t try an appetizer. However, the waiter asked for an online review. If it would not be for a view I would hold not go there again.

Our server was not knowledgeable .. you could hardly hear her and she would have to go to her manager when We had questions about the menu. She didn’t check on us after we received our food. Food was not great.

Service was good but food was mediocre. What I ordered from a picture on the menu was not what I received. The portion of fish was smaller than the picture on the menu. Our entree arrived in a bowl which was smaller than the plate pictured on the menu. Fish portion was small, taste like it was freezer burnt and taste more like tilapia and not catfish as advertised. The boudain was very mushy and taste horrible. We were very disappointed in the entree we ordered. Two of us ordered the entree with the so called catfish and boudain. The third person ordered a steak entree pictured on the menu and he was very pleased with his meal. Bad experience and had no plans on visiting again. Paid too much money to not be satisfied with food.
