Lunch was great and a great view at the same time
We needed a place to grab some lunch that was close to the theater and decided to check out this place. The food was great and sitting there looking at a ginormous tank of 40 species of fish was pretty cool. I had never seen a unicorn fish before and watching the sting rays and sharks and all the other fish was pretty entertaining
We had an awesome lunch time here. Our server did an amazing job, very warm and accommodating. We ordered Mariner’s Mixed Grill and Castaway Combo for just the two of us. It was kinda too much for us, but we managed to finish it. Every thing tasted perfect. I just wish they had sweet tea.
Amazing dinner
A large group of us went there for dinner and the staff and the food were amazing. The waiter was so nice when he offered to take a picture of all of us in front of the aquarium. Everyone enjoyed their dinner in our group and we all devoured our desserts. I highly recommend this restaurant as an out of the box place to eat dinner

Its a nice place so cool to be there you feel like you are with the fishes because of the giant aquariums. Love the shrimp kisses. It is also so much fun you can take the aquarium tour down stairs. And the outside is family fun.
The place is beautifuly designed in between the aquarium and the view is just so peaceful. The food was over priced for the quality delivered.
Just go there for the ambience. The food is just okay!
Amazing food. Grilled Mahi Mahi and shrimp with aquarium rice and seasoned vegetables...absolutely delicious. The Mahi was cooked perfectly and the shrimp had great flavor!
It's a good atmosphere. Foods ok but overpriced. Good service
Kid friendly.
This place is fantastic !! Sure it might be slightly pricey but consider their overhead such as feeding all those sharks, fish, tigers and paying the salaries of all those marine biologist. Wade is a fantastic General Manager and he is more than happy to help make your dining experience wonderful. For those that complain about the wait, you do not have to sit there and just wait for your name to be called like every other restaurant, go to the exhibit. !!!!!!! There is so much to do there !!!
My Uncles Birthday Celebration. This was my first visit to the Aquarium and I enjoyed it. Although we had a slight "miscalculation" in the number of guests for the dinner - the management team was more than accommodating. We had great servers - Sean was great but much kuddos to William Smith! If you ever go to the Aquarium ask for William...he has a delightful smile and extremely pleasant personality. The Aquarium has a gem of a server!

In town for a wedding, had no idea this place was here. Friends of ours invited my wife and I (who was still my girlfriend at that time) to eat with them in Houston the day after the wedding we were all in was over. They picked the Aquarium which was literally situated in the Houston Aquarium downtown. I didn't know it then, but I know it now, that the Aquarium is owned by Landry's Seafood which also owns the Rain Forest Cafe I believe.
Anyway, the seafood was pretty good in our opinion, but the main draw that will keep you coming back and staying well after your meal is over, is the giant aquariums in the restaurant. It is so awe-inspiring to sit there and watch the fish you never really get to see outside of a seaworld or some of the better zoos in the country. I'd come just for that again!
Cool place. Really unique. Was blown away by the large aquarium inside the stair case. Would return if ever in the area, just for the sake of awe.
Had My 55th birthday party there beware of the lava cake desert with Ice cream and a shark cookie 1900 calories chocolate fix and 31.00 lobster dinner with 7.99 pontifont sauceoooh so good portions are good for theoney top notch tell them cuzin vinny sent ya
Best app in the rest buisness
We ate at the bar!. We had the appetizer sampler. Calamari breading was tasty and the meat was tender and not chewy. The Mozzarella sticks and marinara was good as well. Crab dip was good but not the best. And the bruschetta was very tasty. My gf ordered the Millionarie's Cappaccino and it was awesome. It is a blend of bailey's irish cream and cappaccino plus a few other choice ingredients. St. Pauli Girl non-alcoholic beer was tasty like a Heineken Waiter was responsive and friendly (but it was a slow night).
After touring the Aquarium with my family, we decided to grab a bite to eat at the Aquarium restaurant. We got an appetizer, a kids meal, and dessert!
The service was amazing and the food we order was pretty good. The dessert was amazing!
Super clean, the bathrooms were really clean. The staff was super friendly. Our waitress was very helpful and very accommodating. It was a bit pricey but we had fun and enjoyed ourselves.
Food was good, atmosphere was interesting and very enjoyable, but the highlight of our visit was the service! The hostess was polite and efficient, the manager who returned our Landry's card was polite and professional, and our server Roberto was outstanding! On a very busy, crowded, hot day, he took the time to explain to our girls about the fish in the tanks, delivered our drinks quickly, made sure we got everything we wanted from the kitchen, and just overall took exceptional care of us.
My husband brought me here to celebrate my bday,so far I like the place as well my little girl, because she can see the big giant aquarium with a lot of fish in it 😉.
The food and drink came on time. The only thing is my husband order his food and to tell the waiter to make it spicy and the waiter ask if it’s okay to give jalapeño and we said Yes.the food came we did not see the jalapeño and ask our waiter and it took a long time to bring it out.
And after we finished the dinner, the waiter also forgot to brought the complimentary cupcake for us. So we have to remind again to bring it. And during to pay the bill they charge us for extra $ for something we did not order.
My suggestion to all Check your bill before you pay.
8/20/23: Everyone knows my ratings are fire 🔥 eating here today at 5:30pm with a group of 4. Come back for the official review!
8/21/23: A++ what a great experience. Clean, friendly, food was fantastic, atmosphere is out of this world! Highly recommend!
Definitely was a fun experience! The chicken alfredo was really good, considering that it is a seafood restaurant! They also have a whole mini amusement park to enjoy after eating! Pretty neat place!
The Mother's Day brunch buffet at the Aquarium Restaurant, 410 Bagby St., Houston, TX 77002, is always fantastic. Everything is wonderful and exquisite, ranging from seafood to prime ribs and ham carving sections, an omelette station, a jambalaya station, a salad section, a waffle area, a pizza section, and a dessert section. There is a large crew on hand to take care of you, and there are also musical visitors to keep the patrons entertained. Therefore, both the ambiance and the service are excellent and superb. There is lots of on-site parking available, as well as a valet service. The cost of the all-you-can-eat buffet is $49 for adults, $39 for seniors, and $20 for children. Overall, we'll return to this location very soon. Well done!
The food was ok but not the best I had for the price here. We spent $95 including tip 18% for 2 one steak dinner abt $50 and chicken shrimp fettuccine dinner $24 2 iced teas $4. The rides are great fun for the kids. The service was great. The parking is $15.
I recommend reserving a table in advance, you can do so with the hostess or online. Our family of 4 waited 1+ hour for a table. Upon being seated, the table was wobbly and small. Our waiter, Daniil, was very quick and brought us our drinks, which never stayed empty for long. Brought our kids food out first.
Kids food: served on fun plates, my kids got the hot dogs and cheeseburgers with Mac and cheese. The burgers and hot dogs came plain which, in my opinion, is fantastic for kids. The Mac and cheese was lukewarm, watery, and bland. The noodles felt slightly undercooked.
Our food: we ordered the gator for an appetizer which was both of our first time trying it, it was very flavorful and came with an amazing dipping sauce. My only complaint with that is it came with more fried onions than gator. We shared the fisherman’s platter which was a great size for 2 people. Everything was delicious. The shrimp was a good size. The tilapia paired very well with the avocado pico they put on top. The rice was a nice palate cleansing neutral flavor.
We ordered the shark attack dessert which was a great size for us 2 adults and 2 small kids. It took about 20 minutes for them to prepare and was so worth the wait.
The atmosphere was very nice, we all loved watching the huge fish swim around while we ate. The bathrooms were nice, however, the stall doors were sticky and the second stall in the women’s restroom did not close.
It was a bit pricey, but I would say overall worth the cost. We genuinely enjoyed our visit.
Spending time with new friends that share the same passion made tonight a great experience. I had the the shrimp ravioli and the wall of fish was an added bonus
