    We were greeted as soon as we walked in and were seated within minutes. We had some cocktails which were delicious! We had the jalapeño spinach artichoke dip which we will order next time we go.

    The reception desk ladies acted shocked when we showed upfor our reservation for five guests, and they wound up putting us in the private room as there were n other tables available. It was great, and we all appreciated being able to hear each other and to really talk. Our appetizer, the Kung Pao shrimp/calamari, was barely warm and just sort of so-so. The entrees were nice and warm and really good - scallops and redfish. Desserts were chocolate cheesecake and bread pudding. The cheesecake wins the prize!

    I had the poblano soup and pan-seared redfish off the restaurant week menu which was fantastic. The bread pudding was great but really would have liked a large portion.

    My boyfriend and I usually come there with another couple or by ourselves on date night. This time I brought a girlfriend and we had a wonderful lunch together. It was her first time and she was thrilled. I always have a lovely time. Everything we order we end up loving. We always ask our server or the manager who walks around always checking on us, “ how was this made? What ingredients do we have in this? “. No matter who we ask, they always know. I’ve been in hospitality, my whole life, and when your staff knows what ingredients are in the dishes and how they’re prepared, and where some of the ingredients are sourced…be unimpressed. This business is about the food and the care of their patrons. And they are an excellent example of this. Hearsay is highly prepared to give you what you want for the money you spend. I never leave feeling like I’ve spent too much. The ambience is beyond incredible. A lofty setting with incredible light display and chandelier. Upstairs balcony-like view over the bar and the lower floor is breathtaking from that vantage point. You can rent the outdoor space upstairs for Mardi Gras and any party/romantic situations that they set up. We’re already planning for ours. And we learned this last trip that they have a room beyond what we can see upstairs for events and gatherings. I’m excited to look into that. By the way tip your bartender, they are amazing. My favorite old-fashioned on Galveston Island.

    Thank you so much for the glowing review, Sandra! We're thrilled to hear that you and your girlfriend had a wonderful lunch, and that you continue to enjoy every visit. We really appreciate your recognition of our staff’s knowledge and the care they provide—hospitality is at the heart of what we do. We can’t wait to welcome you back for your future events and, of course, another delicious old-fashioned!

    Reservation was for 7:30 on a Saturday the hostess station was unoccupied 3 waiters made eye contact with our party and yet did not acknowledge us at all Person finally came to hostess station after we had waited 10 minutes. Place was not busy Person did not apologize for the wait and didn't acknowledge us with a greeting Put us at a table right outside the restrooms. Smell was overpowering. waited 10-15 minutes and NO ONE acknowledged us As we were leaving the person (may be a manager?) watched us leaving after he sat us down and he did not ask why we were leaving. May try again during the week
