Restaurants near Surf Motel and Apartments

Gaido is a Galveston institution- and our family eats there every time we are in town. Excellent service, delicious food and the warm ambiance of tradition is always a must. This time we had the raw oysters (in season) which were delicious and my husband appreciated the custom martini menu. We also never forget to order the pecan pie- which is famous for a reason! Great food, great memories and like always, we will be back….

This was our first time trying this place while we are here on vacation. Our server Joe was outstanding. The best service we have ever had . We ordered the Smoked boudin balls, Seafood Ceviche , and Prime Rib. 10/10 Also , there was a server named Landon there as well that was next to our section. He was awesome as well.

We love the food, always! But, the noise gets ramped up quickly because there is no sound dampening in the space so people quickly raise their voices to overcome the noise. Please consider assessing the space to reduce overall noise.

My first visit to this restaurant and I was wow’ed!!! Everything we ordered was amazing. My husband and I split the roasted oysters, the mixed greens and the eggs benedict….. we had to make ourselves stop eating. It was all perfection personified! I can’t wait to go again and try some of the other dishes. Also, the live music added just the right touch to the atmosphere, not too loud. We really enjoyed this talented local musician. Not to mention all of this and an incredible view of the beach!

This was an awesome experience! We reserved a space for 4 for drinks and snacks. It turned out to be a live music night which we weren’t expecting, so there were lots of people but it doesn’t feel crowded. The open air is awesome. The hosts gave us a comfortable spot to sit to see the show, but we could have been seated almost anywhere and still have good view. Our server was super sweet and took good care of us. The chicken bites and fries were delicious shareable plates for our group. We all enjoyed our drinks from the bar. It’s really pretty upstairs looking over the gulf-highly recommend!
