Reviews for Merlion in Seabrook, TX
Stopped in to get a drink ended up getting some dragon fire dumplings which were just that... Fire! They have the best happy... hour in town and the service is excellent, particularly Lauren and Heather. They never allowed my glass to be empty and theywere gracious, polite, and prompt. I will go there again and I recommend everyone to give it a try, you will not bedisappointed. Read more
Glorious food! Chef Andrew makes some of the best dishes imaginable. The bartenders were great, the manager Wendy was top notch,... and was checking on nearly every table in the dining room. Read more
The food was ok, what was really outstanding was the waiting: it took way more than a hour to get our entrees. And the place... wasn’t even full. Thanks, but I don’t think I will give it another try Read more
Went there for my birthday on 8/13 with a party of 6. Most peoples' food was pretty good, but WOW the service was slow. We had... reservations at 7:15. It took 45 minutes to receive drinks, almost two hours to get food and we didn't receive dessert untilafter 10PM. We arrived and the dining room was full, but we were the last table there. It seems like our table was selectivelyneglected. Some dishes were awesome, others weren't great, but I would have given five stars if the pace of service had beenreasonable. Read more
Just an amazing place to eat in Seabrook. The food was amazing and the drinks were just what you need after a long day of work.... We were celebrating a birthday and they took amazing care of us. I would highly suggest giving Merlion a try. Read more
Nice restaurant, bar, and lounge. Wendy provided great service; just the right amount of attention without being annoying. Went... to happy hour. Drinks were generously poured- whisky and pinot. Had several appetizers- mussels, soft shell crab, spring rolls,corn cakes, and dumplings. Food was quite good and service great. Read more
My wife and I and two other couples, had dinner at Merlion Thai restaurant in Seabrook. Our server was Michael. This was my... first Thai food experience and we decided to go during Houston Restaurant Weeks. For my first course I had the CHICKEN SATAYKABOBS which were chicken skewers served with peanut sauce. My wife had Lobster and goat cheese stuffed dumplings, garnishedwith avocados and topped with pineapple curry sauce. For the second course I had PAD MED MAMMUANG (STIR-FRY CASHEWS) which wereHoisen based sauce sautéed with mushrooms, onions, snow peas, water chestnuts and cashews. My wife had KANG KARI (YELLOWCURRY) which is Thai yellow curry with curry powder, potatoes, onions and cashews, with a hint of cumin, turmeric and cinnamon. My dessert was Coconut sweet sticky rice topped with fresh chopped strawberries. My wife had Cheesecake topped with mangopuree. We also shared a bottle of Nine Hats Red Blend. I had asked the server to bring out extra spice on the side. The foodwas delicious. I did add some of the spice to the stir fry cashew and it really added some heat. The restaurant was very busyand the wait staff was clearly over worked. Michael was extremely friendly however we did have to wait a fairly lengthy amountof time for our first course and again for our check. I did not mark down for this since it was clearly not the server's fault,however I mention it because customers should adjust their expectations if there is a crowd, at least until the restaurant canadjust its number of staff. All in all we really enjoyed our first Thai meal at Merlion and we will definitely return. Read more
Exceptional in every way! The atmosphere to the service to the food itself—and even the intangibles like care and attention of... the serving staff. Merlion is the best kind of high class restaurant where higher prices are beyond justified in every facet ofthe experience. Our waitress, Cathy, rocked it! Can’t recommend Merlion highly enough for a special night out! Read more
