The Scene – It doesn't get much hipper than this in Galveston. This snug, Strand-area turf resembles downtown Houston's nouveau restaurants, a la industrial-spare: brick walls, slate floors, an open kitchen and lots of noise. Tourists and savvy locals regularly pack the place. – – The Food – Start with the grand gumbo--a French ramekin swells with a deep roux and a blast of tender seafood; pair it with the lush house salad for lunch. The crab and fried asparagus appetizer and the kicking-fresh grilled yellowfin tuna over soba noodles with Thai chili sauce will make…

This is one of my favorite Galveston places to eat! The food is beyond good. Try the crab cakes! Everyone is very attentive and nice. Ask for JR he gives the best service. He was so very accomedating and on top of his job. I can't say enough about the food. It is always fresh and each new thing i try is my new favorite!
- Pros: great good and staff!!

Mediocre at Best

My significant other and I went to this restaurant the first weekend in December. We live in Houston and dine out quite a bit for business and pleasure. I am not overly picky I promise you. This restaruant was not worth what they charge. The shrimp cocktail was tough. Our meals were cold and we waited forever for them. The waiter was kind and personable but painfully slow and we constantly felt like we were last on his list all night. Our cocktails were empty twice and we had to wait more than 10 minutes each time to even have the waiter acknowledge we might want another one. For the money you can do better on taste and service. Do not waste your time - go somewhere else!
- Pros: Good location off Strand
- Cons: Service, taste of food

best of galveston island
by icecream13
after many many visits to the grill my wife and i felt
it was time to tell you our thoughts on this fabulous galveston island restaurant.
from the minute we made our reservations for a busy saturday night
to our dessert everything was absolutely perfect!
the hostess was prompt and polite, the server was quick and attentive
and recommended some great specials. The food was hot
and cooked perfectly, my wife ate a great prime filet, and i ordered
the fresh off the boat red snapper--
WE LOOK FORWARD TO GOING BACK VERY SOON! BY FAR THIS IS THE BEST
RESTAUARANT ON THE ISLAND!
- Pros: EVERYTHING WAS PERFECT --EXCEEDED OUR EXPECTATIONS
- Cons: NONE MAY BE TOO SMALL THE LINE WAS OUT THE DOOR
