    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….

    Rudy & Paco’s is our special occasion “go to” Galveston restaurant. Yet this trip exceeded even our usual high expectations. Great food, quality service led by our Server, Jose’, quiet tasteful ambience. We were initially slightly disappointed that Paco was taking a well deserved day off, but the Maitre d’ filled in ably. It was truly a special occasion, my 80th birthday.

    One of the best in the state. Food, service, ambience all excellent. Even though we travelled from Kerrville to Lake Jackson to see friends, we made the additional drive to Galveston with our daughter for the chance to eat at Vargas.
