Do not sleep on this place! We came for the ciopinno which was omg *chef’s kiss*. Very fresh seafood including lobster, scallops, huge shrimp, calamari, mussels and clams. The tomato based broth was perfect.

We went for a Wednesday night date night and thoroughly enjoyed our experience here! Oysters were excellent, entrées were great and dessert was good. Service was attentive and welcoming. I would absolutely recommend this place if you’re in the Galveston area.

This was our 1st time here as we saw it was pricey and were hesitant to take our daughter. I’m glad we finally ventured out! We started our meal with their bacon wrapped shrimp appetizer. It was served over delicious cheesy corn grits. Shrimp was cooked perfectly & bacon was crispy. I enjoyed their snapper blackened with veggies. I decided to try their side of lobster risotto. I would not call this a risotto as the consistency was too thick. However, it was still tasty and had plenty of lobster. My husband enjoyed their filet & said it was cooked to perfection. He got their crab mac & and cheese, which was crabby, cheesy, goodness! They actually had a kids’ menu, and our daughter ate from it and enjoyed her meal. We opted for their red velvet cake to go to enjoy later. It was good, but a little dry. Our entrees did require salt & pepper. Our server was very sweet and attentive. As we were leaving, another couple received their pot stickers that looked delicious!Overall, it was a great experience. We definitely want to come back for happy hour & appetizers.

The food is devine, fresh, and delicious. Let’s talk about why it doesn’t get a 5 star review. There is a parking lot beside the restaurant but you have to pay to park. There are a few places in the front of the building but this is very limited. The noise level inside this place is too much. Music playing while guests are talking over the music. Dress is business casual but let’s face it half the people in here were dressed in workout/ street clothes. I was hoping this was less of a kid friendly place and more of an adult atmosphere for finer dining. It is not. The space is limited and I suggest you make reservations if you have a party of 4 or more. Great service, the hostess was the best part. The waitress was great too and our food came out quickly. Even still the food was amazing, like truly some of the best food I have had. My husband never finishes his whole steak. He said this one was way too good to reheat later. This is a huge compliment from him! We will be back!

The chef special fish (gulf snapper) & shrimp special with raspberry sauce was very delicious. Service was phenomenal! Wow! Oysters were farm raised from Louisiana. They were really Creamy but I miss that brine/liquor. Out of season possibly. Anyways service was amazing. The almond coconut crusted salmon was one of their most popular dishes we were told so we ordered it. EXCELLENT! We had two little ones with us and they each enjoyed the chicken fettuccine and so did the adults who took bites of it. I hope they work on their wine list. A little more selection of wines and more mid point price would be great. Yes we will be back. So many great dishes you can’t go wrong with this place.

Chilean Sea Bass and Alaskan Halibut were pretty outstanding. Added with a side of spinach and lobster risotto made for a wonderful trip to Galveston! No photos were available as we got there hungry.
