    Our 1st time here surprisingly. We've been to G-ton many many times but for some reason we've missed this place. Glad we picked a good night to attend. We were in town for the 5K. So we had dinner the before. We sat on the balcony across the Pleasure Pier. Spectacular. Fun time to watch the rides and listen to the excitement of the riders. The food and view was good. Service was good but I believe they were busy and short staffed. The ice cream downstairs was a great capper. Blue Bell rocks! Fun kids running the booth. We took our ice cream and walked the beach. Such a fun evening. Thanks.

    Per staff if you want local catch of the day, this place is for you. I agree the coconut shrimp was excellent. I enjoyed my meal.

    We have been here several times when we go to Galveston! Always enjoy but this time we sat on outside deck and had a wonderful time and enjoyed Galveston bay view! Thankful for everything and will continue to return! We would highly recommend this restaurant!
