The toast of the Texas coast.How can frozen fish be called fresh? The answer for anyone with snap is simple: it can’t. That’s why Gaido’s is the classic choice for fresh Gulf seafood. Patrons know Gaido’s is real, when others are clearly not. From red snapper and blue crab to white tablecloths crumbed with panache, there’s no denying Gaido’s is one-of-a-kind in a world of imitation. Now, after four generations of filleting, frying, grilling and baking, Gaido’s has grown into the picture perfect place of traditions– birthdays, anniversaries, retirements, reunions. As the largest fresh fish house on the coast, Gaido’s can serve up to 2,500 happy diners a day. Plus, with the Pelican Club, private dining, catering, a new food truck and parking galore…it’s easy to see why Gaido’s -– for over 100 years – is truly the coastal classic.

    Nice atmosphere with a table that appeared to be in a former vault. Service was friendly and helpful. Veal Picata and lasagne were delicious. Would definitely return.

    Once again BLVD was fantastic. Two of our favorite dishes, the salmon and linguini with shrimp were fabulous again. These two dishes are really exceptional. I'm not a regular salmon eater but the salmon here is so good I keep ordering it. The scallop appetizer was wonderful with a little acid added by the blue cheese and balsamic. Service was spot on and the manager and chef are always visible and available. This is the best moderately priced restaurant in Galveston.
