Best WLM Reviews

The atmosphere at the Aquarium is very nice me and my son set by the fish tank which was very nice. However, the service was ok, the waiter came and took our drink order and then abruptly, walked away from our table and did not come back until after I went to get someone to locate him, then a waitress came and took our order again, she never came back then a different waiter came and by that time our original waiter came back to get my order, very unorganized as the restaurant was not prepared for the large crowd. The kitchen was clearly did not care if they sent out bad food. My son had ordered the chicken fettuccine and his food was cold. I ordered the Thanksgiving dinner and food was cold and the turkey was burned. I sent my food back and opted out ordering anything additional. My son had not ate all evening so I had to send his food back for the kitchen to heat it up. The overall experience outside of the food was very nice. I will not come back again on a holiday it was just too busy for the restaurant workers as they could not handle the volume of customers. I may try again, but doubt it as I drove over 2 hours. I also, ordered 2 hot chocolates to go and they were watered down! Very disappointing
The food was decent and the view was ver nice. The whole Kemah Boardwalk area is beautiful and fun for the whole family. A must visit if you are in the area. This restaurant in particular has a nice decor with lots of fish tanks to keep the kids entertained. I ordered the sampler (see picture) and the calamari and the mozzarella sticks were delicious. I would recommend it, specially if you are with your family.
Food was delicious and flavorful. Server was great. 4 out of 5 on the food only because my husbands lobster and steak were slightly overcooked. My steak was also over, but the flavors were on point. Loved the atmosphere with all the fish tanks. Restaurant is on the second floor they have an elevator if you can't take stairs. Definitely a place worth checking out.
This place is EPIC! Parking was a little difficult for us so I’ll give a suggestion if you’re like me and struggle finding it. When you get to the boardwalk in a vehicle you turn left before the parking garage entrance and go between the parking garage and the boats, parking garage on the right, boats on the left. Follow that little road around and you’ll see it after you go around the bend. The only parking near the aquarium is about 6 spaces plus 3 handicap spots. The sting ray exhibit is incredible and staff are kind and respectful! The food was amazing!!! We were shocked by the prices a little bit until the food came out and the plates were massive! So much food!!! Cannot recommend enough!!
Great location with a beautiful view. Unfortunately, this place screams "Landry's ignorance and arrogance". The service despite being fast and pretty attentive, the order for one of us (party of five) was delivered wrong. Simple honest mistake corrected when the check came. The food has a mediocre presentation, looks like the chefs simply don't care about that aspect.....but at least was good and delicious with large considerable portions.
The atmosphere though......the biggest letdown. Dirty tables all around the restaurant, dirty carpets and a general gloomy feeling of total ignorance. I always said it, Tilman Fertitta in his insatiable greed and probably horrible pay of the staff will bury these once phenomenal attractive places. Such a pity.
Found this place in Kemah. We were on Vacation and needed somewhere to go. The kids enjoyed the aquarium theme. The food was great. Lots of positive things from the family. What really moves the food and makes you enjoy the place is the service. Our server was super attentive, friendly and personable. I never had to ask for a refill. That's usually my go to sign for service. She was so nice to the kids and really shined when it came to events. It was our birthday and brought us cake and ice cream. My 12 year old daughter was so impressed she tripped the server herself from her own birthday money. Food is food. Atmosphere is atmosphere. Where everything can go right or wrong is service. Only think I will nitpick on is your hostess should be saying thank you and bye to your guests constantly. Wasn't that busy and she was on the phone on the way out. Did not get a look as I will usually say thank you. Overall bring the family. Have a good time.
My boyfriend and I had to rework our plan due to Hurricane Beryl and a back injury. We came down to the boardwalk and it was a ghost town. We decided to stop here and get lunch because many of the other restaurants were closed. We were one of three families in the restaurant and received prompt, fast courteous service. The food came out hot and probably some of the best fries I have ever had!
It was our first time there and didn't realize we ordered the drink that came in a souvenir glass which had an up charge. When we noticed it on the bill, and didn't expect it, she removed it promptly even though it was our error. Great customer service, good food and drinks.
Great dining experience. Food was good. Our service was a little slow preventing me from giving them a 5 star but overall a nice experience. Loved the aquarium.
