On a late Saturday afternoon, my husband and I decided to drive to Galveston to have a nice dinner and stroll along the seawall. After reading the reviews we opted for Miller's Seawall Grill. Parking is at a premium but we were fortunate and found a spot in their limited parking lot right away. I believe the time of day was crucial, it was about 5 pm. I learned later that parking on the seawall is free after 6 pm.
Though the host informed us to expect a 35 min. wait, we were seated in about 15 mins. We were seated at a booth by a window with a great view of the Gulf! The AC works really well so it may be a little chilly for some. The restaurant was very clean, had an interesting decor and the staff were friendly. It is listed as a diner so it was a little noisy.
We decided to share a combo plate of grilled fish, grilled shrimp and fried oysters with a side of augratin potatoes and the house salad. As we waited for our food I watched other orders being brought out. Every platter looked so good I wondered if I needed to change my order!
We started with a cup of the gumbo for my husband, which he declared the best he had sampled since New Orleans. While it was advertised as spicy, he found it to be just right. I had a cup of the crab/corn chowder. I was a little disappointed by the amount of crab meat but it too was very good! The oysters had a light cornmeal batter which was fried to a light golden color! The fish and shrimp were grilled and also tasted very fresh.
The menu listed their Pecan Ganache Brownie as the General Mills winner for 2 years. As a lover of anything chocolate I had to give it a try. I was shocked by the large serving that appeared! It was enough for 4 to sample! This brownie had a moist cake like texture. Stacked 2 brownies high, it was covered in a rich dark fudge ganache with pecans and served with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on the side. Yummy!
The menu offers a great variety of food items and prices. Breakfast is served all day.
We are looking forward to another visit so we can try something else on the menu!
