    I ordered coconut shrimps they taste great! Just like red lobster! I forgot to take a picture of shrimps. Raw oysters are not bad It's not unlikely Pappadeaux Seafood, great taste and a huge oysters!

    Fish & chips, I know it sounds boring and too traditional, but they were fabulous. Husband had coconut shrimp and loved it. Great balcony area. Good service but very popular - so busy. Be patient!

    We had great service and loved our food. I got the crab cake sandwich and my hubby got the tilapia and crab stuffed poblano. Kids enjoyed their meals - large portions. They validate parking too.

    Validated parking! The staff seems new. The draft selection is weak. I put a hat on my beer.

    The fish & chips are really good. So is the brownie sundae. There's only a few small brownie pieces in it though.

    We had appetizers, and some were cold while others were just overly fried. Not our favorite in Galveston.

    The view was great. That's about the only thing that was great. The food is extremely overpriced for what you get. No care at all was put into preparing this food. Do NOT waste your money!!!!

    The wait for our table was "underquoted." The bartender had an attitude, and her mgr was less than helpful; She literally made me chug a drink. The only redeeming quality of F.T. was the food.
