    The ocean view was absolutely beautiful — such a relaxing and pleasant atmosphere. We had Caesar salad, chicken pasta, steak, lasagna, calamari, and spaghetti, and everything was delicious. The staff was kind and attentive. Highly recommended for anyone looking to enjoy a nice meal with a great view in Galveston!

    We had the special which was fried chicken, spaghetti , salad and dessert. Price was impressively lower than what I have paid at other places similar, and the food tasted like home made grandma food. Absolutely delicious.
