    We’re now expected to pay $15 to park in their lot and then pay the HIGH prices of their food, which has gone downhill hill. This will be our last visit to Fish Tails

    We had fun. I thought it was noisy, but my daughter said it was noisier on the Pleasure Pier and FishTales was quiet in comparison. Our waitress was fun and hardworking. The food was good, but great is still out there. We’ve been eating out every night since Dec. 23rd as family is coming in from all over at different times. And each place we went to I ordered a Balvenie Doublewood and after dinner the Bread Pudding. FishTales had no Balvenie and the bread pudding ranked at the bottom. But, we really had a good time and my fettuccine was just swell.

    Good service, food is ok. Nothing bad just not worth the higher price.

    Our 1st time here surprisingly. We've been to G-ton many many times but for some reason we've missed this place. Glad we picked a good night to attend. We were in town for the 5K. So we had dinner the before. We sat on the balcony across the Pleasure Pier. Spectacular. Fun time to watch the rides and listen to the excitement of the riders. The food and view was good. Service was good but I believe they were busy and short staffed. The ice cream downstairs was a great capper. Blue Bell rocks! Fun kids running the booth. We took our ice cream and walked the beach. Such a fun evening. Thanks.

    Wait times can be a while after you’ve ordered food but i promise it is so worth it, setting out side is a beautiful place to be while waiting

    Per staff if you want local catch of the day, this place is for you. I agree the coconut shrimp was excellent. I enjoyed my meal.

    We have been here several times when we go to Galveston! Always enjoy but this time we sat on outside deck and had a wonderful time and enjoyed Galveston bay view! Thankful for everything and will continue to return! We would highly recommend this restaurant!
