First time checking out the Aquarium location and it was so much better than the downtown spot! The food was really good, and our server Rob made the whole experience even better. He was super attentive and took his time walking us through the menu. The big tank was packed with all kinds of fish, including a leopard shark which was a cool surprise. We're usually Landry's people when we're in Kemah, but we'll definitely be coming here next time instead.

The ambiance of this place is great. There's a lot to look at and the kids will be entertained looking at the fish the whole time. Service was good too but the food is not great and I need the food to be great. I had the coconut shrimp and my dad had the watermelon shrimp cocktail (which he enjoyed)At best it is just ok, definitely not worth the money. My family wanted to go here so we went but I am not a fan.

We went for my birthday celebration dinner. The service was great. The staff checked on us periodically to make sure we were ok. Family friendly atmosphere with a nice dinner feel. The food was hot, fresh, and tasty.

Great drinks!

My grandson loved the Aquarium Restaurant. I was expecting more aquariums. The place overall could use a little updating. It was a good experience. The service was excellent! The food and drinks were really good. Overall a great time.

Rob provided exceptional service, food was good and the views were great. The only downside I can think of is other patrons were very loud.

I had made a reservation online for Mother's Day brunch at Opus Ocean Grille and, to be extra sure…read moreeverything was okay, I even called the restaurant afterward to confirm they could see my reservation on their end. As soon as the call connected, the lady asked if my reservation was for 8 people. I said no, I had just made a reservation for the following day at 11am and simply wanted to make sure everything looked fine on their side. She responded "oh okay," and never once mentioned there was any issue, overbooking, or possibility that our reservation would not be honored. We hung up, and naturally I believed everything was confirmed. The next morning, we arrived on time for our reservation. From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere already felt uncomfortable. The staff stared at us without greeting us until a woman finally approached and asked if we needed something. I gave the reservation name, and she looked through a notebook full of scribbled notes before saying she couldn't find it and would get the manager. A man came over, asked for my name again, and then bluntly stated, "We don't have you on the list. We're fully booked until 8pm." I was honestly shocked, especially because I had specifically called the night before to confirm everything. Instead of apologizing or trying to help resolve the situation, his demeanor felt cold, dismissive, and as though we were inconveniencing them simply by showing up for a reservation we had made and confirmed. He then stated, "We emailed you stating this." Because there was already a line forming behind us, I simply said "okay" and walked out. As we were walking to the car, I checked my email -- and sure enough, the "email" had been sent at 9:55am THAT SAME MORNING. Our reservation was for 11am. Cancelling a reservation barely an hour beforehand on Mother's Day, after I had already called to confirm the reservation the previous night, was incredibly disappointing and unprofessional. This was supposed to be our first time trying this restaurant, but unfortunately the experience and the way the situation was handled left a very sour impression before we even sat down.

(Great place, the owners are fantastic, and if you have not been by there, why not? ) Back to the brewery. I was pleasantly surprised by this visit. Perhaps it was because it was after dark, the place was nicely lit, and we sat at the bar. The first time in was in the cold light of day, the place felt like a high school cafeteria and we all turned around and bounced right on out of there. Night time, the cosy lighting, and sitting at the bar with the restaurant (cafeteria feel) behind you is so much better. I found their service lacking for the lack of patrons in the place. Our glasses were empty for far longer than they should have been and we had to wait on our check to leave. The servers did appear to have great conversations with each other at the other end of the bar. Perhaps being more mindful of their customers would be more appropriate. The pluses are the Blueberry Blonde was as good as I remembered and we were introduced to Celtic Cross mead which led to a visit to their meadery. Would I come back? Yes. Whenever I feel called upon to partake of a Blueberry Blonde and when it is evening to avoid that high school cafeteria feel of the place.
