Best Seasonal Restaurants in Galveston

Katie's is always a must stop dinner place for us when we come to Galveston. At our most recent visit, the food and service was beyond compare. Temporary food restrictions meant I thought I was not going to be able to enjoy my most favorite dish - their caldo. Erin, Veronica, and the chef set to work coming up with creative and tasty solutions that produced a caldo that I could enjoy. Their kindness and commitment to excellent customer service was exceptional.

December 25, 2024: Merry Christmas! We had the best Clam Chowder ever and delicious Fish and Chips with four large pieces of crispy battered fresh fish on a pile of French Fries. (We split that and glad we did!) Fast efficient service with a well-trained waitress. We had a harrowing drive through Houston and thought the day was ruined. Eating here (with reservations!) redeemed the day and turned around a bad situation. Remember, three or more mega ships depart from here so make reservations as far in advance as you can. We got there at 5PM and a few tables were empty. By the time we left, an hour later, there was a long list waiting for a table.

We received excellent service from the moment we arrived. At reception, we were told that a table was waiting for us upstairs. My brother has difficulty climbing stairs so they made a special effort to arrange for us to get a table down stairs. Our wait person was awesome as well!

We had The Seven Fishes Christmas Eve menu tonight at The Fancy with the wine pairing. Everything was excellent!!! Everyone from the moment we walked in the door we felt at home. The staff took great care of us and the chef out did himself!

Food and service are very good. We enjoy going to BLVD seafood for the chowder, salmon, shrimp and fish dishes. Happy hour offerings are good too!
