    We had the greatest server. Very nice and attentive. My mom and I were there for Mother’s Day. We ordered the Salmon and the Chicken Marsala. Both were over the top delicious. Cooked to perfect perfection. We shared the Italian cream cake for dessert. It was also amazingly good. Can not wait to visit for dinner again soon!

    It was so unbelievably loud. I had a reservation for two, they saved a table that was touching the chair of another guest. We sat down, and were quickly overstimulated and couldn't even hear each other. For the prices of the menu (upwards of freaking $50-$75) you would expect a bit of a professional or nice setting, not the crazy hooting and hollering party it was. We went to The Spot, a place way cheaper and known for being super casual, and had a glorious time that felt so much more upscale. This place is just outrageously overpriced and full of itself.

    This place was very loud, so much so we couldn't even hear ourselves talk at the table. They have too many tables crammed in to the point everyone near you is talking and it just made the place LOUD. The food was good, not great, so overall it wasn't a good experience. But, I will say our waiter, Alexander G. was wonderful. Very attentive, had everything to us in great time, and kept following back up with us.

    This wasn’t just the best meal we’ve had in Galveston, it was the best meal by a measure of 2-3x. Loved it.
