    With it being a very rainy evening, we really appreciated the lighted stairs outside. We really enjoyed the crab bisque, mixed tempura, Merlion Thai Peanut Sauce Curry, and Kang Ped dishes. Irie took excellent care of us, and provided great drink and wine service as well. Merlion is defintely one of our favorite restaurants, without a doubt. I highly recommend the Champaign Martiini; it's excellent.
