This is our second time visiting the aquarium. It was my son’s birthday and we decided to take him to his favorite spot. The staff is very courteous, kind and extremely attentive. The food was delicious and the chocolate cake as a dessert was a great pick.
Thank you for a wonderful experience.
The food and service was great! Our son loved being able to see the fish during our dinner.
Love Love Love the Aquarium. The food is great. When I lived in Houston and they put one Downtown I used to order to go just for my lunch break. The cost can seem a bit pricey but if you’re like me you don’t mind paying for good food. Plus they give you a descent amount that it could actually serve as 2 of your meals for the day. If you get to dine in what an awesome ambiance it is, It feels like you’re dining underwater. And not to mention the great pics you will get. They also have entertainment such as the actual aquarium tour and rides you can take. An all around great date night or fun night out for the kids.
Good fun for family and kids
Me and my daughter took a girls trip this is one of the best aquarium I have been to
Took 20 mins. To find a parking spot, and because of that we lost our reservation. The music was loud, and it was hard to go up to the tank because the only way to look at it is to stand in the middle of the walk way.
Had an amazing time holy recommend
Very beautiful environment...friendly workers. I will definitely come back
Casual atmosphere was very good. Food was MUCH better than expected. Would suggest this for anyone!
We had a great family dinner. Great food, large portions (order less), great service and atmosphere.
My steak was salty. Everything else was great.
Amazing service and food. Great experience. Will be back soo.
Service was so perfect and the atmosphere was exactly what I was expecting, but the food was NOT worth the money. Food was super greasy and just not worth the money
There was nothing wrong with the establishment. The service was obviously very understaffed. Our waitress was running too many tables and certain things got lost or never taken care of. But other than that, a beautiful place.
food was excellent, server was a bit slow but very friendly and apologetic. had reservations so seating was quick.
Excellent environment in overall. Recommended highly to anyone
Waiter was terrible and did not have knowledge of menu made me feel like I was not cared for at all
I love how it looked! The food had no seasoning really. Service great.
Great atmosphere!
It was very special
Train never opens right at 11.
The environment was very nice. But for the price you pay for the seafood, it doesn't match what you get. Mac and cheese was luke warm and the salmon was underdone and unseasoned.
Great experience!! Cool fish and awesome staff!! Very knowledgeable about the fish and answered all my questions. Beautiful place!!! Love it
Food was not good steak was rare when we asked for Medium rare.
We barely ate them too expensive for the food quality we were served.
Great food! And service
Wishing the shark 🦈 chocolate cake came back 🥺
The food and ambiance were everything we expected, but we got badgered 3 times about joining the Landry’s rewards club during our meal. One time the guy who stopped by our table gave his spiel for way too long while I was trying to focus on my kids and didn’t want to be overly rude in front of them to get him to stop. I tried but he didn’t get the cues to stop. Almost ruined the experience but the tanks of fish made up for it barely
The tanks are gorgeous the food was disgusting my husband doesnt eat seafood he cant the food i ordered him tasted & smelled like fish he literally had to spit. It out at the table like a child. The alfredo was pounds of butter and noodles the chicken so bad by the time i got home its was like a container of lard was barely cooked chicken i spent over a 80.00 dollars and the only thing you could eat was my daughters grilled cheese. We had pay full price for 1 ride and the animals at 4:30 at night thats a rip off the lady said it was the cheapest Way so i paid 70.00 dollars just for train and sting rays nobody even new I f we had a band on so i paid for what? 8.00 parking. And 100.71 at restaurant for a grilled cheese and a great tip for that grilled cheese. This is wrong so heres beautiful scenery and disgusting food i couldnt even give to someone unfortunate or a animal it was a container of lard. This is not right
We just moved here i will be contacting corporate and i will no return to this establishment that rips people off.table 122/1 melvin was best person ever 02/02/21 4:58pm this needs to made right. This morally wrong.
Our waitress was awful. Service was slow and the food was cold even after she replaced it she still brought me cold for and it didn’t taste good at ALL
The service was great! The place was beautiful. This would be a nice place for a drink or to take the kids for dessert. The food however was horrible and over priced. I know these type of places are for the experience. However when I eat at a seafood restaurant I expect real crab meat especially when the plate was $40.00.
I had an amazing time for my birthday! Kenneth was an amazing waiter the food was sooooooo good!
Service was great atmosphere amazing food was pretty good except the side dishes We plan on going again real soon
We made reservations for a birthday party but ended up having to add 2 people to the reservation. The staff was very understanding and got a table together for us really quickly. It was very loud inside the restaurant between the music and other customers talking. The waitress for our table was very slow. I'm sure they were very busy as it was Saturday but service was slow. The food was great and had a lot of flavor. They brought out a cupcake for the birthday girl which was very nice. Overall it is a nice place to go just noisy and slow service.
Reservations for 10- no problems/ had a great time
We had a great time for my 11 years old birthday. We loved the activities and all of the kids had a great time.
Going during lunch was the best decision. We had a great table with a great view. I don’t think it would have been as memorable had it been a busier time of day. But our toddler loved being able to walk around the entire tank and look at the fish. Food was great. Not a cheap place but worth the splurge.
A very good dining experience. I would recommend this place for dates but go early so you get to experience everything. The only thing missing is a closing fireworks display.
We were celebrating our sister birthday party and we had
A blast the food was amazing,our waiter Alexander was stupendous and he made our night exceptionally perfect
Shalom
It was great - cool experience - will bring the kids next time we come back to Houston
My boyfriend and I were celebrating our anniversary we ordered the steak and lobster with mashed potatoes and mixed veggies the steak was extremely chewy I was unable to eat the steak lobster was great it was just sad that my steak was so chewy that’s what I was really going for
My family enjoyed it and the food was great. Reservations helped.
