Best Historic Restaurants in Galveston

We started my birthday dinner with our fabulous server Sara bringing us bacon wrapped shrimp and empanadas from the happy hour menu and tuna nachos from the regular menu for all 5 of us to share. All the food was DELICIOUS!! We then moved to dinner and we had scallops, the filet, tuna tacos and a crab cake...all I can say is WOW!! Everyone loved their meal!! Scallops and steak perfectly cooked and seasoned. Then we finished with crème brûlée for my birthday treat!! Such a fun evening and lastly the cocktails/drinks were also amazing! Thank you Hearsay for making my birthday extra special!!

Food wonderfully done and excellent service although a bit formal (waiter puts your napkin in your lap for you as if he thinks you don’t know to do that without help). Noise level was a little high because there were several very large tables celebrating the holidays. On non holiday weekends it would be a lovely, romantic restaurant.

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.

Excellent food. This was Christmas Eve so wait staff were doing the best they could. People in the party spirit were a lot louder than we would have liked but the food was so good it was easy to overlook the noise level.
