The Scene – You could say local restaurant czar Tilman Fertitta built this place just for the halibut--and about a hundred other species of fish displayed in the 90,000 gallons' worth of observation tanks at this spectacular "eatertainment" operation. Climbing a dramatic staircase that encircles a three-story, cylindrical fish tank, patrons find themselves in a dining room where four other aquaria provide a dazzling, nonstop parade of exotic sea creatures. Moody blue lighting reflects eerily off coral-like walls, completing the undersea effect. – – The Food –…

Don't let Terren (sp?)the waiter wait on you, HE IS A HORRIBLE WAITER!
by MrsLinas
My family and I went there last night to celebrate my birthday and was completely disappointed! I give it one star for the ambience, my children loved the huge aquariums around the restaurant, and the hostess seated us right away. The waiter, now that's a different story! This waiter by far is the worst waiter I've ever dealt with at a Landry's Inc. and we eat at Landry's Restaurants quite a lot, be it the Landry's or Joe's, Saltgrass, the restaurant at the San Luis Hotel in Galveston, well you get my drift..anyway, back to that horrible waiter I believe the name was Terren(?) lack customer service skills, no personality whatsoever. He never smiled, didn't seem to happy that he was going to wait on us, my first question to him was if they had any flavored teas..he said "Yeah" and went on the flavors ( I could never ever remember the flavored bottled teas that Landry's offer) Anyway, he said that they have Peach, Raspberry in bottles so I said I will take Peach. Well my drink came and it turns out it was Ginger Peach decaf tea! He should've told me that it was decaf tea and had Ginger flavor to it! Well, I didn't confront him because my husband said he will drink it instead. We were not offered any bread and butter, this waiter only checked on us once if we were okay and it wasn't even busy that night! He tried to give my mother the wrong order but did not apologize, he never offered for desserts, never asked if we needed refill and lastly, never thanked us for eating there and to come back again. Now for a $160 dinner meal, I expected the usual Landry's great customer service but I didn't get it this time. I did talk to the GM named Jonathan and he was very pleasant and apologetic and stated he will correct the problem for me.
- Pros: great ambience, good food, kid friendly
- Cons: rude waiter!

Great seafood and friendly service
by ladymccoy
We were seated right away. The staff was real friendly to my son. It's a nice restaurant that the whole family can enjoy. The oysters just melted in your mouth they were so good. The fish was cooked to perfection. It's a little pricey, but you get what you pay for. It's well worth it. If you are thinking of trying this restaurant out I highly recommend it.
- Pros: The aquariums inside the restaurant are awsome. Great food and service.
- Cons: Can be a bit pricey

Great Atmosphere
by tra8901
The atmosphere is great and it's right on the Kemah boardwalk. The fish tanks are tremendous and take up most of the walls. It's very entertaining to watch live divers in the tanks at feeding time. The food was good and waiters/waitresses were very friendly. I felt like I was dining under the sea! It was a bit pricey for the portions and had a bit of a long wait for seating. The staff did offer "pagers" so I could enjoy a drink at the patio bar outside while I waited for my table. The patio bar was friendly, and I truely enjoyed the Jimmy Buffet cover performance while I waited. This restaurant was entertaining for the kids and is able to accommodate large parties. The gift shop had a large variety of different items to purchase, however was a bit small and I felt it belonged with the rest of the shops on the boardwalk, not in the restaurant. Overall, I enjoyed my experience at Aquarium and will return the next time I visit Kemah, TX.
- Pros: Beautiful Atmosphere
- Cons: A bit too pricey for the portions
