Restaurants near Double Bayou Park

I love Rudy and Paco’s. I’ve been there many times over the years. Usually, everything is excellent. This time, I was disappointed in the atmosphere. Too many tables, too close together. It takes away from the cozy atmosphere. Also, the evening after Thanksgiving, I’m sure was an issue with crowding. Everyone at our table loved their steak. The lobster tail on the special was tough, they said. In my opinion, lobster here in Texas is usually a little dry. I ordered the halibut. It was a little dry. Texas isn’t the place to order halibut. I should have ordered the snapper. I think it had been cooked in the oven too long. Sides were good. The wine list is the very best anywhere. I loved my gin martini and the wine with dinner. Overall, the evening was very nice. The wait staff was friendly and attentive. Rudy and Paco’s is a special place. It’s one of my favorite restaurants on the island!

My daughter and I dined here for thanksgiving dinner and the food was so good . When it was time to pay , the waitress said someone had taken care of our tab and it was such a beautiful gesture especially because her and I spent the day alone . If the person who picked up our tab sees this : thank you so much ❤️

Gaido is a Galveston institution- and our family eats there every time we are in town. Excellent service, delicious food and the warm ambiance of tradition is always a must. This time we had the raw oysters (in season) which were delicious and my husband appreciated the custom martini menu. We also never forget to order the pecan pie- which is famous for a reason! Great food, great memories and like always, we will be back….

One of our most favorite places to eat and enjoy special occasions. Food is always great, staff is so friendly and helpful and they never disappoint! Music was a little loud for us, but we are old and sat at the bar. So, it was our fault, but we love that little corner booth so much:) HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!

This was our first time trying this place while we are here on vacation. Our server Joe was outstanding. The best service we have ever had . We ordered the Smoked boudin balls, Seafood Ceviche , and Prime Rib. 10/10 Also , there was a server named Landon there as well that was next to our section. He was awesome as well.
