We love Merlion. It is our go to for all special dates. This experience was not great. Our service was not good. We have had this server before and she was wonderful! But this time we hardly saw her. Was there for over 2.5 hours, our appetizers were cold and we had to flag down people to get to water. We will be going back because we love Merlion!

This is my absolute favorite restaurant in the Seabrook/Kemah area. The food is fantastic, I’ve only ever had great service. It is a little on the pricey side, but the portions are large and the quality is consistently excellent.

Great service from Brian, and really wonderful appetizers. The Crab Bisque is amazing, as is the Merlion Thai Peanut Sauce Curry. The Panang was delicious, and the Mussels were excellent. However, I could not help but notice that they were a little understaffed on this evening. It was a very long time between courses, but we still enjoyed the experience. I guess that their offering a fixed Valentine's menu for the first two weeks of February, is slowing up the process in the kitchen a bit. But it's a wonderful venue, and we love dining here.
