Had a late arrival in Galveston. Spotted FishTales and wanted fresh seafood. On entering there was no one at the front desk to direct us.There were some nice merchandise near the desk, finally found our way up to the restaurant. Ordered our meal and asked about the shirts downstairs. When we went to look at purchasing a couple the sizes and colors were all mixed and we ended up not getting what we wanted. The food was tasteful when it arrived but nothing special. Hopefully they were just having a bad day

We had a family lunch at this restaurant with 8 people and the staff accommodated us nicely. The food was good and the staff was the friendly ad helpful! The waiter was excellent and made recommendations. It is located right across from the Pleasure Pier and is walking distance to the beach. My fish tacos were okay but I did ask for the sauce on the side since it was spicy, which is why they may have lacked some flavor. But all in all, it was a great time and I will definitely go back!

Just stopped in for a few drinks on a rainy Mardi Gras day. Clam Chowder wasn't my favorite...it is very thick. Galveston Tiki Wheat was on point though. Pricy touristy but okay place.

This was pretty average seafood. Good but pricey for what was offered. Not a lot of choice to sub sides.

I really don't usually eat seafood, buy my friends always want to eat here the night before our cruise. I actually loved my fish and chips, but could not eat the entire serving because it was so large. They always take our reservations, from 4 to 12, and there is never a problem.
