I thought this was going to be a tourist trap (overpriced mediocre food) but the atmosphere was honestly enough to convince me to dine here. It was so amazing to watch the fish as you ate. Not only was the service quick, the staff friendly, and the food delicious, but it was priced good for the food quality. However if you get the appetizer platter, you may not have room for your main course. We had plenty of leftovers to take home!! Thanks for a wonderful experience.

I’m gonna try not to be negative so I’ll say positives and negatives. The ambiance is great and the reason I came. Bringing children to see the fishes while eating was nice. The food LOOKS good but did not taste great. Reminded me of Applebees/Ruby Tuesdays type of quality. I got the seafood platter and nothing was good. The shrimp and crab dip was the best item and overall big portions. The service was good but the waiter was pretty much having dinner with us the amount of times he came to the table. Definitely a one time experience but served its purpose. Nice for the kids and affordable!

Howard was an excellent table server. My Son in Law and daughter invited as a guest on Thanksgiving 2025. I almost declined but it was such a great experience, and I am glad I went.

Howard really added to my first breakfast buffet experience. One day I will return and thankful for the wonderful outing. I like taking pictures of my food. So, I took plenty pictures of the awesome buffet.
Howard got a 5 star from me and my family

This place is fantastic! When you walk in you are greeted by the spiral staircase and aquariums, and amazing staff members. There’s a bar with a variety of drinks, also has fun drinks with no alcohol. Don’t even get me started with the food. This food is the best I ever had, that is an understatement. The best shrimp I’ve ever had, the steak was so juicy, and the lobster was out of this world! Our waitress Brian was so good to us! He gave us many refills, very nice, and funny. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for high quality food and staff!

our family had an unforgettable experience that truly felt like a journey into the ocean’s depths. Entering the restaurant, we were immediately captivated by the immersive ambiance created by the enormous tanks filled with vibrant marine life. The kids were absolutely enchanted, their eyes wide with wonder as they spotted various fish swimming gracefully around them, it genuinely felt like we were dining underwater.

The menu offered a fantastic range of options, catering to both adults and children. I was pleasantly surprised by the thoughtful choices available for kids, especially given my son’s sensory issues. The meals were not only delicious but also served in a way that made them appealing and manageable for him. It’s clear that the restaurant puts a lot of thought into accommodating different dietary needs and preferences.

Our waiter, Samuel, was a standout part of our experience. His enthusiasm and dedication to making our visit special were evident from the start. He patiently engaged with our children, making them feel comfortable and excited about their meals. Samuel went above and beyond whether it was recommending dishes or ensuring our kids had everything they needed, he made our dining experience feel truly unique.

Aquarium is more than just a restaurant; it’s an adventure that combines excellent food, a captivating atmosphere, and outstanding service. We left with full bellies and happy hearts, eagerly planning our next visit. If you’re looking for a family-friendly dining experience that’s both fun and delicious, this is the place to go!

Food could have came out a little more hot and my pasta definitely could have used some Parmesan, the blackened catfish was a bit salty. Overall the food was still wonderful and we enjoyed it.

The giant tank is so cool to look at and has some massive fish. I would recommend going at night since during the day it’s a little too bright to get the full experience.

I had such a great experience at the underwater dining adventure in Houston! From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was incredible. The multiple aquariums throughout the restaurant made the whole place feel immersive and exciting. Not only that, but they also have tigers we were able to see which was such a unique added surprise.
Our server, Brian, was another highlight of the night. He was extremely attentive, professional, and made sure we had everything we needed without ever feeling rushed. His friendly attitude really added to the overall experience.
If you’re looking for something fun, memorable, and unlike any other dining experience, I definitely recommend checking this place out!

I had the time of my life here Hosts were very sweet. Our server, Samuel, gave some of the best service we’ve ever had. He was very attentive, sweet, & patient. The Aquarium is also so lucky to have such a great singer on their hands. He should be on broadway for real. Food was immaculate. Legitimately not a single complaint here, no notes. The drinks were great & better than most bars. The food portions were more than generous & the food tasted fresh. The chef put his foot in the crab dip (not literally), & I think I’d kill a man for it if I had to. Seriously though, would absolutely recommend this spot to anyone & will definitely return. 12/10.

Beautiful place to dine. The food was really good, along with the drinks. My husband had the grilled chicken and it was delicious, especially the chicken. I had the fried fish platter. The fried oysters and shrimp were phenomenal. Brian was our server and he was amazing…very attentive and friendly and answered all our questions. The entire staff made us feel welcome. It was a great experience!

Let me start out by stating it was V-Day, I brought my two daughters 1 and 5 with me so we were worried on how dinner would go. Brian our server however made the experience 10/10. His attentiveness, patience, and kind demeanor was beyond exceptional. Food was extremely tasty and had great flavor. If I come back I’ll def ask to be seated with him if he’s working here. Prices were very reasonable!
