Merlion - Seabrook

A wonderful evening, sampling some of Merlion's best appetizers. We love the Mixed Tempura (with shrimp and calamari , the Crab Bisque, and the Softshell Crab. Katie took great care of us at just the right moments. We also received a warm greeting from Bernice, the restaurant manager. (From dining here for many years, we've come to know almost all of the crew at Merlion. For a main course, I tried the Kao Pad (fried rice with crab meat, which was absolutely delicious. My Wife opted for the Pad Thai with sirloin, which she also loved, although she said it was a little dry. This was quickly solved by requesting some soy sauce. Make sure to try one of their many varieties of different flavored Martinis, while visiting. For an elegant dinner in the Bay area, Merlion cannot be beat.

This was our first time here after many recommendations. I set up reservations through Open Table the same day. Bar and table seating were both available so I noted that either would be fine. Received a call from Merlion shortly after asking which I preferred. I waffled so they suggested we start at the bar then move to a table later. Well, we wound up staying at the bar because the bartender was so wonderful. We rdered a reasonably priced bottle of wine and lots of apps- all were delicious, especially the beef satay, dragon fire dumplings, and crab/cream cheese egg rolls. The whole experience was perfect for this middle aged couple needing a place to reconnect while their teenager attended a homecoming dance. We can't wait to go back!

We enjoyed a fantastic evening dinner here at Merlion once again. Our server Jessica, took great care of us at just the right moments. Try a Champagne Martini while chatting with your partner. I definitely have my favorite dishes here. But everything on the menu is incredible. The attention to detail makes Merlion very special; etched wine glasses, rose petals on the table, personally lit table tops, and real linen tablecloths. This does not go unnoticed; these are details that you don't find practically anywhere else. But the Thai dishes are the real stars; excellent, flavorful, creative, and spicy. We absolutely love it, and Merlion is a stellar standout in Seabrook.

I’ve heard about this place for years so we decided to go for happy hour. It was 1/2 off appetizers so we ordered 4 different one and loved them all….especially the chicken skewer things with peanut sauce and the dumplings. Loved the vibe and met some good people.

We had an amazing time! The most delicious food we've had in a LONG time! Wonderful service and after two years in a row coming to Merlion for my birthday, we have decided to officially made it an annual thing :
