Galveston has a very strong reputation when it comes to beaches, spring break, and history. But there is an ever-growing appreciation for the amazing cuisine that you will find here. Of course, you will find some of the best Gulf Coast cuisine like gumbos and fried shrimp, but there is so much more. The Saltwater Grill in downtown Galveston is a wonderful example of this growing reputation, as they are one of the top restaurants in Galveston and provide the very best food in an elegant, yet casual environment.
A Fine Menu
The menu is massive, exploring Gulf Coast classics along with some unique culinary revelations. Regardless of the dish in question, it is sure to be built upon the finest ingredients in the area. The imagination of the menu, coupled with simple and fresh ingredients, makes for some of the most delicious meals in Galveston. Sharing an extravagant appetizer is the perfect introduction, whether it is a decadent seafood dish like the shrimp and crab fondue, or something from the land like chicken lettuce wraps or pot stickers. Regardless, it will be a great beginning to your meal.
You can find the juiciest steaks, freshest salads, the heartiest soups, and so much more, but the star of the menu is found within the endless seafood section. You can always count on a new and unique chef’s selection, like the current Chilean Seabass and Jumbo Crab. But there are also a few standbys on the menu that have become the favorites of so many visitors. One such classic is the Almond Coconut Crusted Salmon or Gulf Shrimp. Many flavors come together seamlessly within this dish. Each meal is complemented wonderfully by a wide variety of delicious sides, and one of the best wine and beer lists in Galveston.
A Great Atmosphere
The food is amazing, but the atmosphere is the best that you will find throughout the entire Gulf Coast. There is a pleasant ambiance provided by unique décor that embodies the slow pace of life on the island. The good feelings are compounded by very attentive and friendly service. Not only is the atmosphere inside a great one, but the Saltwater Grill is in an awesome location in downtown Galveston, so it is the perfect place to stop for dinner or a drink before or after hitting the town. It is right across the street from the 1894 Opera House, and just a short walk from countless other awesome places.
