How amazing is this place to pregame your night at the ballet, opera or theater?

Gimme a scale of 1 to 10 - for each - food, ambience, and safety.

And the Ferris Wheel? yay or nay?

Get busy livin', or get busy dyin'.

I actually like the bar there. Plus…..you can rack up Fertitta points and use them at Pleasure Pier

Food - 0...It's awful. Like below the likes of Chilis and Hooters

Ambiance - 2...Eating in front of the fish tanks is kinda cool

Safety - No idea what this means

Generally it's a horrendous restaurant and the only time we eat here is when the kids pick it for the birthday dinners.

Food: Solid 9.5. The fish is fresh out of the aquarium.
Ambience: 8.25. Tends to be too many **** trophies and not enough trophy wives.
Safety: 10. It's downtown Houston. Safest place on earth.
Ferris Wheel is always a yes. 60% of the time it works every time.
Overall: this one goes to 11

serious question here-

On the weekend nights is the aquarium actually busy, and packed inside for the restaurant with couples, or is it more families for the most part?
