We had a great time here! Our server was named Mandi and she was EXCELLENT! Extremely friendly, helpful, and attentive. She engaged with our 3 talkative and curious kids and was just so sweet to them! One of our kids has an allergy and she answered all of our questions and had a manager check to make sure everything was safe. All of the food was great!

Outstanding service from our waiter Bradley. He is by far the most thoughtful and caring waiter we have encountered and double checked everything due to a food allergy one of us had. When we first walked in the young man seating us gave a fun tour and explanation of the gorgeous aquarium...everything was spectacular. Food was a bit cold but the Atlantic grilled salmon was scrumptious!

Did not plan to eat at a restaurant while visiting Kemah Boardwalk but had a change of plans and picked this place based on their menu posted outside. After all, their menu was limited due to the holiday and they did not have our first choice (tacos), so we had Broiled Captain's Platter and Crunchy Fish and Chips. Captain's Platter had variety of seafood and was good. Fish and chips was fine but the breading was a little too thick and a little too crunchy. We got full and satisfied with the food and had German Chocolate Cheesecake to go for later, which was delicious. Our server was friendly and attentive and the other staffer who visited our table was nice too. Fun atmosphere with the fish in the tanks and under the sea theme; we said "hi" to the big fish when leaving.

We had a wonderful dining experience at Aquarium Dining. The atmosphere was beautiful and relaxing, and the food was delicious.
Our server, Rob, was great! He was very kind, attentive, and friendly. My mom was especially happy and amused by his mustache, which made the experience even more fun 😄 He made us feel very welcome and well taken care of.
Overall, we really enjoyed our visit and would definitely recommend this place!
