The bar area is loud and we happened to have a lively group in the dining room seated next to us. I don't know if they were just loud or having to talk over the music in the bar area. We were finally moved to the other dining room and it was much better. Thank you to Merlion for accommodating us. Also, it's pretty cold in the dining room so ladies just bring a cardigan sweater if you're cold natured.

The Crab Bisque and Tom Kha soup with shrimp were both delicious. The Kang Ped with shrimp was very fresh and wonderful. We loved seeing all the crew in their Halloween attire as well. Most of them were donning Greek God and Goddess outfits, which was wonderful. The crew here is just as amazing as the Thai dishes. Our waitress, Mia, checked up on us at the right times, and poured a great wine pick for us as well. From the nighttime accent lights on the outside staircase, to the subdued ambiance inside the restaurant, Merlion is truly one-of-a-kind.

Great place we sat at the bar by choice. The service was great. The owner came around to greet us. The food was fantastic and it was a fun atmosphere. We have gone multiple times and it’s always consistently good.

Food was amazing, as always. Mussels appetizer is amazing. Portions are large and can be split, or shared family style which is what we did. The fried rice comes out in the form of a small mountain; impressive. Lots of leftovers to look forward to. Wait staff was fantastic. We were there for a family birthday celebration for 6 and they had the table decorated for us with a special birthday dessert and a small bottle of champagne. A favorite spit for celebrations and/or date nights.
