The toast of the Texas coast.How can frozen fish be called fresh? The answer for anyone with snap is simple: it can’t. That’s why Gaido’s is the classic choice for fresh Gulf seafood. Patrons know Gaido’s is real, when others are clearly not. From red snapper and blue crab to white tablecloths crumbed with panache, there’s no denying Gaido’s is one-of-a-kind in a world of imitation. Now, after four generations of filleting, frying, grilling and baking, Gaido’s has grown into the picture perfect place of traditions– birthdays, anniversaries, retirements, reunions. As the largest fresh fish house on the coast, Gaido’s can serve up to 2,500 happy diners a day. Plus, with the Pelican Club, private dining, catering, a new food truck and parking galore…it’s easy to see why Gaido’s -– for over 100 years – is truly the coastal classic.

    We had such a wonderful experience at Rainforest Cafe in Galveston today while celebrating my wife’s birthday with our little one. A big part of what made our visit so special was our server, Ibrahim. Ibrahim was incredibly friendly, attentive, and welcoming throughout our entire meal. He took great care of our family and made sure everything was just right, while giving us the time and space to enjoy the celebration together. The food was great, but the service truly made the experience memorable. Thank you, Rainforest Cafe and Ibrahim, for helping make my wife’s birthday celebration such a great one. Excellent service and a wonderful family experience. We’ll definitely be back!
