    An amazing dining experience. Excellent food & drink with exemplary service. An ambiance suited for romantic dinners or a group of friends winding down for an evening. Acoustics are perfect and no matter how many tables are being served, it seems your table is most special. The CRABCAKES are the best I’ve ever had & Ive eaten in Maine & Alaska where crab is almost served straight from waters. Research the menu ~ you are about to enjoy a memorable dining experience!

    This is truly a hidden gem for those who are not from Galveston. The food is outstanding as is the service. If you can get a reservation I highly recommend you go. Anything you order will be delicious and the customer service is some of the best in Texas!

    Rudy and Paco’s is our favorite restaurant and last night’s dinner did not disappoint. Our server, Samantha, was excellent. Our Red Snapper entrees were delicious. Our drinks were perfect and they made my husband’s birthday so special. What an outstanding dining experience!
