    Absolutely outstanding service. Wonderful staff. I had the ribeye special with scallops. Perfectly cooked and tasty. Scallops were outstanding and vegetables crisp. The only downside was the amount of gristle in the ribeye which was a lot and made eating it a chore as I had to cut gristle, cut pieces to eat, cut gristle, cut pieces to eat… etc. Had a lot of inedible pieces when finally done and it ruined the dining experience for me. However, the staff was sooooooo wonderful that I could not complain at all.

    Best dinner we had in a long time. Visiting Galveston for the weekend and friend had recommended this place. Delicious food, great service, fun vibe- especially for a fine dining place, and good wine list. It was a very busy night. The whole team was awesome. The hostess, waitress, other servers were professional, gracious, knowledgeable and very welcoming!
