The Saltwater Grill is located just steps away from The Grand 1894 Opera House. Featuring an array of tantalizing fresh-from-the-grill and fresh-from-the-kettle seafood specialties, Saltwater Grill is in a class of its own when it comes to quality and attention to detail.

Saltwater Grill was just named Galveston's 2016 Restaurant of the Year. Thanks to everyone who voted!

    As always good food! It took awhile for our waitress to get to us but once she did it was fine. Super noisy and busy because of concert across the street! But we always eat here for theater dates for the 1894 Opera House.

    Friendly/professional service and they are sensitive to time constraints for shows at the 1894 Grand Opera House. Food is excellent and a good value.

    My girlfriend and I sat at the bar and had the best time. Our server, Brenna, was delightful. Great drinks and she made the evening a pleasure. Shrimp and Grits were fantastic, Filet was perfectly cooked and espresso martini was a great finish.

    Love going to Saltwater Grill whenever we get to Galveston. From the food to the care we get with each visit, it’s my go-to with family, but also great for a “working dinner”.
