    My wife and I love Merlion. We have been there several times and food is always amazing. Twice we have sat on the right side and both times service was a bit off. Every time we sit on the left hand side of the restaurant service has been amazing. Food is first class we will be back many more times.

    Crowded and loud- tables are too close. Some of the ambiance of the restaurant was lost to this.

    Again, it is one of the best date nights in a long time. I get something different every time, and I have no favorites because everything is delicious. It is so nice to be welcomed in,seated, and have personalized service for you every whim. Thank you all again.

    The food was excellent. Service was the same. The atmosphere was very unique, but not in a bad way. We will definitely be back.
