My girlfriend and I visited Galveston for vacation and went to Gaido's after being recommended by a local. There was a bit of a wait, but once we were seated the experience was superb. The complementary bread and olive oil were anything but filler. On the recommendation of the waitress, I ordered the wade red snapper with au gratin potatoes and shrimp bisque. The snapper had a light texture and a subtle butter and lemon taste. The bisque was creamy with a subtle flavor and a hint of spice. My girlfriend had the salmon with a creamy shrimp topping that she really enjoyed. For desert, we both had their world famous pecan pie - I wouldn't recommend any other dessert...ever. All in all, I have to say that this was one of the best meals I have enjoyed in years. Certainly the best seafood I have ever had.
Pros: Food, ambiance, service, menu
Cons: Wait

I loved this hotel! Galveston is one of my favorite getaway spots, and the Hotel Galvez is one of the nicest hotels in the area. I would definitely come back to this hotel- the spa was incredible! My room was clean, and it was nice to have wireless internet access. The pool area was where I spent most of my time though. The bartender?s were friendly and it was nice to have a swim-up bar. I will be going back to the Hotel Galvez soon!
Pros: Beautiful, clean, great location in Galveston

I've enjoyed DiBellas on several occasions. The food is most excellent as well is the service. The atmosphere can't be beat! A real, old school Italian restaurant. As my date put it, "I thought Tony Soprano himself would walk in the door any minute!" The food was a tad pricey, but very good. I definitely enjoyed the experience and I will be returning!

Fine seafood dining is the best I can say about these folks as it says it all. The mahi-mahi was fresh and grilled to perfection. The halibut was perfectly fried and the accompanying crab meat was succulent and divine. The risotto was my first and everything I had imagined it should be: creamy, flavorful, buttery. The crab-stuffed shrimp and crab cake were indescribably delicious. The textures, flavors, smells, and presentations were pure gourmet, and proof that fine food is good food on Galveston Island.
Pros: I'd eat slop if it had lump crab like that on it.
Cons: Trainee waitresses take a little more patience.

Galveston Veterinary Clinic on 61st Street has recently expanded, and offers better service than ever. They have always been superlative, and now there is more space in the reception and waiting area, a better arrangement in the treatment rooms, and a larger kennel/boarding facility.
We have taken our dogs and cat to GVC since we first moved to the Island. They were so very helpful and sensitive when one of our dogs died six months after we arrived. Since then, we've had another emergency call -- right before closing time -- when another dog got sick after coming home from the groomer one afternoon. GVC stood by us and was always there to help.
