Restaurants near Riverside Park

We love to dress up for this restaurant but this time there were more casual dinners than in the past. As usual, the restaurant was very clean and crisp with table cloths and professional waiters. The food was exceptional from appetizers to salads to entrees to desserts, fresh and expertly prepared and presented. My wife is medically gluten free and we were very pleased to find numerous gluten free options available. The service was excellent with a knowledgeable and experienced waiter. Highly recommended !

Everyone, from the valets to the greeters that seated us and the wait staff were very friendly and competent. The cocktails were inventive and delicious. We really enjoyed the starters. The Caesar salad was great and different. The dressing is flavorful and the toasted pine nuts add to the experience. The crab cakes are among the best we have ever had. Nice crunch without being greasy, lots of crab meat and a light lemon butter sauce. The shrimp cocktail had 5 large shrimp perfectly done and a good sauce. The steaks were cooked as ordered, tender and flavorful. One 8 ounce filet, one bone in New York Strip and one Bone in Rib Eye. Reasonably priced for the size and quality. We added the mushrooms and grilled thick cut vegetables. Perfection. The tasty flourless fudge cake and perfectly brewed coffee provided a nice finish.

Wonderful dining experience for party of 16! Very accommodating! The food was FABULOUS!! Awesome !!!!

Katie's is always a must stop dinner place for us when we come to Galveston. At our most recent visit, the food and service was beyond compare. Temporary food restrictions meant I thought I was not going to be able to enjoy my most favorite dish - their caldo. Erin, Veronica, and the chef set to work coming up with creative and tasty solutions that produced a caldo that I could enjoy. Their kindness and commitment to excellent customer service was exceptional.

Perfection. Server was amazing and attentive. He was very happy, great energy from our waiter. We loved that it was busy tonight, but organized. We also enjoy Christmas Eve because it so festive here and we love seeing Santa. Food was hot, delicious. Merry Christmas!
