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…

Wishing for the old Saltwater Grill
by brendatexas at Citysearch
Saltwater has been my favorite restaraunt for years but last week I was dissapointed. On a Saturday night we inquired about their special (that's what we usually order) but they said they did not have one. No fresh fish special? We ordered the Asian Grill and it was sub par. The waiters were friendly and helpful but the chef behind the bar would barely answer a question.
Please bring the old Saltwater back, fabulous food and happy staff!
- Pros: Ambience, location, fresh seafood
- Cons: Is not as good as before

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
