My wife and I went to the Grotto for our Anniversary. To say that we were blow away from start to finish is an understatement. Priscilla wowed us with her knowledge of wines with a great pairing for my Veal Parmesan. She also recommended a Peach Belong for my wife, which was a great hit. She was extremely attentive, making sure that we were never for want of anything the entire night.

The food was great and portioned well. The only "complaint" was there were too many great looking deserts.

Looking forward to going back.

Very nice atmosphere with fabulous food! Started with calamari and then we had the flounder wrapped with crab meat. It was fabulous! I highly recommend this place if in Galveston. Inside of the San Luis.

I was looking forward to a dinner at Grotto, rekindling the memories of the fabulous food of the original location at Westheimer and the Loop. To my surprise, this was just an average resort restaurant. It was not bad, but it nothing special. The convenience of its location for people who are staying at San Louis and the view of the pool are just about the only things going for it. The food was neither flavorful nor memorable and the wait staff are spacy... could barely keep up with little things, for example brought the water out but not the lemon we asked to have in it. Over the course of dinner they forgot something for each one of us at the table. It made for great tableside jokes. If you are expecting a decent hotel meal, your expectations will be met. If, however, you expect the culinary grandeur of the original Grotto, you will be disappointed.

This was a great dinner venue with business associates. Everyone enjoyed their dinners, the service was attentive but not intrusive; the manager visited the table to be sure we were content and overall, it was a delectable experience!

I make a point to eat at Grotto every time I visit Galveston Island. The menu and service remain excellent, and they offer a variety of food and wine selections in a moderate price range. You will not be disappointed!
