Saltwater Grill was just named Galveston's 2016 Restaurant of the Year. Thanks to everyone who voted!

    The seafood at Saltwater Grill is simply the best in Galveston. As a long time resident and frequent world traveler I’m always impressed and never disappointed by our dinning experience at Saltwater Grill.

    We made reservations through the OpenTable app. When we arrived, our table was set and ready for us, including our highchair. Excellent service from the moment we walked in the doors, until the moment we walked out.

    Unfortunately was sat close to the front door and it was rather chilly each time the door opened. We should have requested a move but did not so that is on us. Food and service was excellent

    The restaurant was very busy due to a show at the theater. That did not take away from the food or service. It was excellent.

    Great food. Portions are small so plan on eating all of the bread, the meal and having room for dessert. Very conveniently located across the street from the 1894 Opera House. I would definitely dine here again, but probably will eat first!
