Restaurants near Galveston County Water Reservoir Park

We had a party of 8 eat there on Christmas day. It was a bit loud and they had a scaled back, 3 course menu. But everyone found food options they liked and everyone thoroughly enjoyed their food. The waiter did a good job staying on top of a couple large tables and a couple smaller ones at the same time. We had to flag him down a couple of times, but nothing too serious. No one helped him serve food or anything else. So he was pretty on top of it. This is the second year we ate Christmas dinner at Landry's and I think it is going to become an annual family tradition.

Normally, The Aquarium Restaurant is a fantastic place to eat. I do appreciate that they were open to serve families for Christmas . We were 1 of the first families to arrive. Three of my party ordered the holiday dinner, which included a salad or soup... full Christmas dinner that included ham and turkey along with 4 or 5 traditional sides... then apple or pumpkin pie.. I'm going to assume that the restaurant couldn't schedule enough waitstaff to handle the crowd because we rarely saw our waiter. My food was very salty to me, so I opted to take it home. When my apple pie was served, it was very cold! I gave up, flagging down my waiter, and ate it. I won't let this experience keep me from going to the Aquarium, but I won't be going on certain holidays.

Perfection. Server was amazing and attentive. He was very happy, great energy from our waiter. We loved that it was busy tonight, but organized. We also enjoy Christmas Eve because it so festive here and we love seeing Santa. Food was hot, delicious. Merry Christmas!

The food was excellent. I enjoyed a juicy and flavorful tenderloin. My wife enjoyed the fish. Both were prepared to near perfection. Dessert was delicious. My pecan tart was flavorful. My wife loved the flaming bread pudding. Bar service was spotty at first and the had run out of a few dishes, but overall it was a good experience.

Always a good time at Merlion! Clay was great in the bar area and took care of our every need. Many thanks!
