I haven't been back here in 36 years and sadly it was as bad tonight as it was back then. We were told a 1 hour or less wait and it was 1.5 hours before we were seated. Took another 15 minutes to get our drinks. We waited another 20 minutes to get the sugar and lemons that we asked for when we placed the drink order. Out of an 1.5 hour service we only saw our waitress 3 or 4 times. I kept having to flag down other waiters or hostess to get drink refills. My wife and I ordered the seafood gumbo and it was luke warm at best. I had very little rice in mine and my wife's was almost all rice. Shrimp was tough and chewy and still had shells on the shrimp. You could tell it was not fresh. Very watery as well unlike an actual gumbo base. I've had better frozen store bought gumbo than what I was served tonight. Requested bread while we waited for our dinner and the rolls were over cooked and stale. The waitress never asked if we were rewards members, which we are and had to inform her when she brought us the check.
The only positive of this experience was the fish and stingrays that our grandson enjoyed watching. We eat at Kemah all the time and at other Landry's restaurants. The flying Dutchman was our favorite and we miss it not being here. Their food was always fresh and the staff were spot on everytime. Sadly It will be another 30 plus years before I come back to the Aquarium to eat.

We had such an amazing experience. The food was absolutely delicious and everything tasted fresh and perfectly prepared. Our server, Bradley, was incredible so attentive, friendly, and great with the kids. He truly made our visit extra special.
The atmosphere is beautiful and the kids had the best time watching all the fish while we enjoyed our meal. It’s the perfect place for a family outing. We will definitely be coming back!

This used to be our favorite restaurant for special occasions. We went there on February 14 for Valentine’s Day and my wife got food poisoning after eating, the broiled fisherman’s platter. We received a survey two days after our visit and I gave them two stars and commented about the fact that my wife had gotten sick. Five days later, we received another survey and Once again, I gave them two stars and commented about my wife getting sick. I have not heard anything from restaurant, customer relations or management. I guess they just don’t care about the quality of their food anymore.

Ordered the grilled chicken breast, cesar salad, and the molten lava cake. Was serviced by Rob. Chicken was very juicy, date said salad was good, and the cake was yummy. The atmosphere is phenomenal and nothing else really compares to being able to watch fish swim in a huge tank while you dine in a completely sea-themed area. Rob was very helpful and kind in answering and accommodating the numerous questions I had, including how a bill worked. I’m young, and he didn’t seem to look down or make me feel stupid about it at all. Here’s to voting Rob in as the best server! Wish I could come more often if I lived closer.

We had such an incredible experience at Aquarium Dining Adventure! From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere felt magical. Dining beside the glowing aquarium while watching the fish glide peacefully by made the entire evening feel calm, intimate, and truly special.
The food was delicious, fresh, and beautifully presented every dish felt thoughtfully prepared and full of flavor. But what truly made our night unforgettable was our waiter, Rob. He was absolutely amazing attentive, kind, knowledgeable, and genuinely warm. He made us feel welcomed and cared for without ever being overbearing. His energy and professionalism elevated the entire experience.
It wasn’t just dinner it was a memory. We left already talking about when we can come back. Highly recommend for a special night out!
