    Unfortunately was sat close to the front door and it was rather chilly each time the door opened. We should have requested a move but did not so that is on us. Food and service was excellent

    The restaurant was very busy due to a show at the theater. That did not take away from the food or service. It was excellent.

    Great food. Portions are small so plan on eating all of the bread, the meal and having room for dessert. Very conveniently located across the street from the 1894 Opera House. I would definitely dine here again, but probably will eat first!

    Not necessarily off the beaten path in Galveston, but a great option for getting off the beaten path (Seawall). Service was attentive, wine list appropriately expansive, food spot-on! The restaurant has plenty of traffic which is beneficial to keeping their groceries fresh and delicious! If you want to get off the beaten path and not have to travel out of the inner circle, this is your spot!

    Kenna was a great server. The evening was better with her. Our oyster on the half shell were very good as were the martinis. I ordered the sea bass - good taste with crab on top; but top of fish was a little over grilled and too rough. Hubby had red snapper with fingerlings. He felt the snapper was overcooked. Maybe someone new on the grill?

    We enjoyed the Wednesday night Prime Rib special. What a wonderful experience! The food, wine, and service was top notch! We will do this special event again.
