Combine that with attentive service and a prime location in Galveston’s historic Strand district, and you’ve got a venue that’s hard to beat.

After waiting around 15mins for our drinks to arrive and not getting the drink order correct our visit didn’t start well. But an intervention from the manager, Kyle, changed our experience and we really enjoyed the rest of our night. The food was outstanding and the service was eventually excellent. Would definitely go back again.
