Several good spots...just depends on what atmosphere and kind of food you want. Gumbo Bar is my current favorite place to eat...

Re: Seafood

Dont eat at Gaidos over priced for just above average seafood atleast imo.

I like the fresh stuff.. slp or out in greens or jones!

But seriously, i cant speak for the place in Galveston but the gumbo bar in league city is the sh$%. Love it.

gaidos or marios italian seafood or the cajun greek on 61st

There's hardly anyplace that has really fresh seafood here anymore. Most of them were Iked. Gaido's was once great but hardly worth bothering with. Brunch at the Galvez is delightful and worth every penny, but the only fresh seafood you'll find will be Gulf shrimp & a few oysters on the half shell. Their Alaskan King crab is great, but far from fresh. I believe Rudy & Paco's has seafood but I've never been there. My wife says the food is fantastic. Shearn's (top of Moody Gardens) is incredible, but you'll probably only find one or two fresh fish dishes as a special. They have the best lump crab meat on the island. Pier 21 is good, but awfully casual for the price. Most of the rest of the places are now chains.
You might also look into the Saltwater Grill. I haven't been there in years, but it's run by Galveston Restaurant Group (Johnny Smecca is one of the partners) and everything they do is first class: Mario's Seawall, Gumbo Bar, Sky Bar, etc.

Hows Clarys on Teichman now a days Bruce? used to be awesome.

[Curmudgeon]

I forgot about Clary's. I haven't been since Ike. It was a top-notch place before and I'd imagine he's brought it back up to his standards.

Rudy and Pacos or Gumbo Bar. cajun Greek is decent but atmosphere is not where I'd take a date or wife for a BDay (or any special occasion-it is dumpy but good food). Clary's aint bad, Shearns is good also. Luigi's is pretty darn good italian.

Pass on gaidos, fishtales, the spot, any Landry's owned place-may as well go to Golden Corral instead of any landry's place-similar food-bad.

I'd take her to Rudy & Paco's for that special occasion-you will be happy-make sure you tell the hostess when making reservations.

Mrs. OK and I celebrated an aniversary at the Mosquito Cafe on 14th St. It's cozy/romantic, crowded with locals.

There was a lady that played piano (she's played at the Tremont house too), but I'm not sure if she still does.

I'd highly recommend.

I'd take her to Rudy & Paco's for that special occasion-you will be happy-make sure you tell the hostess when making reservations.

And make sure to make the reservations a few weeks early. They book up quickly!

Rudy & Paco is un-matched for Service and Quality. Absolutely the place for a celebration.
