Gaido's Seafood Restaurant

Always know you’ll have impeccable service and a delicious meal.

First time back to Guidos for many years, it's just as awesome as it was those many years ago. Atmosphere, waiter, food, music etc., everything was perfect for our anniversary night out.

Our server, Dora, was wonderful. She was so friendly and very knowledgeable of the menu items. We had an appetizer, salad, entree and dessert. From start to finish it was wonderful. I highly recommend the Oyster Combination Platter, which Dora also suggested. Outstanding entree!
The only downfall, and I understand we are at the coast, but we dressed for dinner. Linen table cloths, ambient lighting. Special occasion, date night atmosphere and the table across from us had people in flip flops and cut-offs.

Always a great meal and great service. We go to Gaidos every time we’re in Galveston.

Stellar service, great food and great atmosphere. Very accommodating to all needs. Couldn't have asked for a better experience!

Like visiting an old family friend. Used to come here with my parents 50 years ago. Glad to see that Gaido’s is still here since 1911. Quiet evening dinner with excellent redfish with lump crabmeat and lemon butter. Very good service.

Awesome place for seafood, excellent view of the ocean too!!

The food was simply amazing. Our waiter Kevin was so knowledgeable and helped make the experience great. We will definitely be coming back.

Service was not as good as our last visit but ok nevertheless. Food and atmosphere are great. Do a nice job with COVID separation.

We had a great time at Gaido’s two nights in a row! We had Cliff the first night and he was a super professional and helpful waiter! We had Lucio the second night, and he was also really awesome, nice, and professional! Your employees made the difference. Food was also phenomenal!

Great food, great service. Would highly recommend.

The place is amazing with lots of history, the food was awesome the service was great! We celebrated our 36 years of marriage! Thank you for making it awesome!

This is an historic Galveston restaurant that has a long running reputation for quality and service. It is well worth every penny!

Amazing food. So glad we were able to have dinner at this restaurant. It is a must when in Galveston.

They were very accommodating with our schedule and with the number of people in our group. We were in town for a cheer competition we had parents and children ranging from 9-12. The service was excellent and the food was amazing. Definitely recommend.

Lucio was fantastic! Excellent food.

Gaido’s has always been a favorite seafood restaurant in Galveston and our recent visit did not disappoint! Wait staff were outstanding, food was beyond delicious and atmosphere was relaxing and inviting. I highly recommend Gaido’s for any seafood lover.

Excellent from entering to cocktails to the main meal and then the hot lemon water after

Everything was excellent -- the service, the entrees (seafood), the dessert, the coffee. I would return here to eat.

This place is a favorite for us. Food is fantastic and the staff is wonderful.

Wonderful dinner, staff met every request. In this "covid" environment Gaidos went beyond careful to keep us all safe as possible.

I spent no less than 20 minutes writing a glowing review of this restaurant. I started to add photos of our dinner. Hit "back" and lost everything I had written on this website. Will not waste time writing review on Opentable website again. Gaido's, I will be dropping off my cards into your Dropbox. This restaurant is Highly recommended by me.

We love Gaido’s. The only disappointment was that we did not get to see Nick, wanted to hear how his Dad is doing. But, we were glad he had some time off on a Sunday! Everything was excellent, and our server, Evan, was great!

Fantastic and one of our favorite place to eat out in Galveston. Always worth the drive.

Gaidos has always been a family favorite so I was excited to introduce my boyfriend to the amazing food on our trip to Galveston. Everything was delicious! I highly recommend the truffle fries. I literally said “Yum” with every single bite. The little horseradish aioli that comes with it was to die for! We had a fantastic time all thanks to our server Devin who was so sweet and very knowledgeable! Thank you Gaidos for a fantastic night!

Pros: Excellent food, excellent service
Cons: no view for being on the beach -- view is blocked by the restaurant's parking lot

The food and service was beyond amazing! We will always be back!

Very good!

Delicious quality fine food!
Service was professional.

Our server was great but the kitchen was extremely slow. We were the last table seated and by 10 they weren't busy enough to warrant the slowness of food coming out.

Food was ok, not great. One of our entrees even came out cold. They were extremely busy as it was NYE. The friends we were with had been a few times before and raves about it but were also disappointed in the food this trip. The service was excellent. I would give them another chance but not for a holiday or busier than normal occasion.

Everything was incredible! The service was friendly, informative, and on top of it. The food was AMAZING! Everything we ordered was delicious! Can’t wait to go back!

Gaido’s never disappoints. Excellent food. Always fresh and perfectly cooked. The grilled oysters are a must. There’s not a bad entree on the menu. Can’t wait to go again.

Always good and consistent. Enjoyed New Years Eve with friends!

Our favorite Dining place! No better than Gaido’s! Been dining at Gaido’s for 64 years. Thank You Nicolas!

New Years Eve dinner- everything was great! We pretty much new what we wanted to order so gave it all to the waiter and he took care of timing. Portions, quality, and value definitely worth it.

Awesome. We were very pleased with the service and waiter.

I had the pecan crusted mahi-mahi with asparagus and my husband had the shrimp peques with the parmesan tomatoes. Both meals were delicious! The tables are appropriately spaced far apart and it was quiet and restful in there. A wonderful
New Year's Eve dinner.

We came for my daughters 15th birthday. It was our first visit to Gaido's and we enjoyed it. We were hoping for a piece of that famous pecan pie (for my daughter's birthday) but I guess we should have asked, ha! We were too full by the time dessert came around anyhow. Food was great!

Delicious fresh food, great service!! Clean. Friendly staff.
