Saltwater Grill in Galveston stands out with its "amazing fresh seafood" and "outstanding service." Diners rave about the Almond Coconut Crusted Shrimp, Shrimp and Grits, and the Prime Rib special. Situated conveniently near the Opera House, it's a top choice for pre-show dining. Consistent quality keeps patrons returning.

    Don’t think we have had a bad meal here. Ordered redfish without the lemon caper sauce. It was cooked perfectly but had hardly any seasoning. This could have been my fault because I ask for no sauce just butter…..,;, Will still go back. Wait staff always great.
