The toast of the Texas coast.How can frozen fish be called fresh? The answer for anyone with snap is simple: it can’t. That’s why Gaido’s is the classic choice for fresh Gulf seafood. Patrons know Gaido’s is real, when others are clearly not. From red snapper and blue crab to white tablecloths crumbed with panache, there’s no denying Gaido’s is one-of-a-kind in a world of imitation. Now, after four generations of filleting, frying, grilling and baking, Gaido’s has grown into the picture perfect place of traditions– birthdays, anniversaries, retirements, reunions. As the largest fresh fish house on the coast, Gaido’s can serve up to 2,500 happy diners a day. Plus, with the Pelican Club, private dining, catering, a new food truck and parking galore…it’s easy to see why Gaido’s -– for over 100 years – is truly the coastal classic.

    The ceviche was so fresh and flavorful. The filet was cooked to perfection and absolutely delicious. The cocktail “The Bees Knees” was delightfully tasty. Service was excellent and ambiance was a refreshing change from the usual dark and loud.

    Our waiter Trey was an added bonus to our experience at this restaurant. We were visiting Galveston for the first time and of course eating at Gaido's was a first. He waa knowledgeable about the history of the restaurant, humorous and gave his honest opinion about some of the dinner choices we made. We would definitely return. The food was amazing I had the seafood pasta and the portion was very filling and the key lime cheesecake was magnificent!! The mojito, margarita and voodoo were all liquericious!!! Lol

    Rudy & Paco Restaurant & Bar is a place to go when you want calm ambience and well-prepared food. Most of the clientele seems to take seriously the business-casual dress code, which has great support from the best-dressed service staff that one can find in this vicinity. The restaurant's location adjacent to the 1894 Opera House is a setting for an interesting outing, whether for stand-alone dining or in preparation for other nearby entertainment activity.
