The finest of Fine Dining in the Galveston area! Overlooking the yacht harbor, with a view of Moody Gardens, there is no better scenery in town! Excellent steaks and seafood, and a great bar selection, you will be impressed!...

We eat here maybe 100 times. This Sunday afternoon meal was representative of our expected wonderful experience. Our server today was amazing and even though we know the menu very well, she made recommendations on the best options for the day. We sat on the outside deck and enjoyed the sunshine. I have to say that the quality of the food today was just exceptional. The scallop appetizer, with creamed corn and baby corn was one of the best bites I’ve ever consumed. Everything else was just as good as we have come to expect. The broccolini with Serrano ham… GTFO. What a great experience!

Based on my appearance I usually get sized up and judged. I felt that for maybe 4 seconds , but after I got seated we had the most wonderful joyful experience with impeccable service! I didn’t try the steaks, I will next time. We opted for seafood! I got lobster tail and king crab. The lobster wasn’t super tender but it wasn’t super tough either, but a big 20oz lobster tail it was perfect and the best it could have been, larger shell fish are usually tougher. The desserts were all very top tier. Well worth it. Maybe that best spot on the whole island of Galveston.

I recently visited this unique restaurant on Galveston Island, and it left a lasting impression. The oddly shaped dining area features remarkably high ceilings, creating an unusual acoustic atmosphere that's almost cavernous. The cuisine was inventive and delectable. I opted for the Tomahawk steak, which, although slightly overcooked, still packed plenty of flavor. Other standouts included expertly prepared king crab legs, flavorful fish tacos, and succulent lobster. Overall, the dishes were creatively presented and bursting with flavor. While there's room for minor improvement, this restaurant's distinctive charm and impressive culinary offerings make it a must-visit on Galveston Island.

Never have had a better dining experience. The server, Garrett, was fantastic. Great energy, quick with jokes, and very personable. Made us feel like we never made any bad decisions in regards to our meals. The food was fantastic. Perfectly cooked and seasoned. Mac and cheese was delicious. Ribeye steak was cooked to my temp and was excellent. The scallops were buttery and delicious. The lobster tail was succulent. Couldn't have had a better dinner. Thank you to everyone still giving their best even at 45 minutes to closing.

My family and I came here while on vacation and we felt so incredibly welcomed from the moment we walked in the door. The atmosphere was upscale but approachable with gorgeous views of the water. Everyone greeted us and checked to make sure we everything we needed from start to finish. The food was great! Spicy mussels and garlicky shrimp...the steak was good, but honestly the Kraken stole the show for me! Overall fantastic experience and will be coming back with more friends next time we're in town.

Great location with a view of the bay/marina. They have outdoor seating that would be fantastic for families on a nice day. As an appetizer we had the lobster deviled eggs and they were a really tasty bite. Expensive, but worth it! For my entree I had the fish tacos and while they weren't the best I've ever had they were still good. One order comes with 3 tacos, on flour tortillas with slaw and some sort of yummy sauce. I'll be back!

Beautiful evening ambiance and atmosphere for dinner last week. We decided to try the Galveston restaurant week menu, and I have to say that the desserts were the star of the show for us. We tried the bread pudding and butter cake and both were excellent. I was excited to try the beef Wellington but it was a little overcooked. My daughter’s macaroni and cheese was a 10 out of 10. So delicious! The extensive cocktail and wine menu was impressive. Service was a little lacking for such an upscale restaurant but not bad overall. A lovely experience and definitely a solid option for a special night out.

My spouse and I visited Number 13 for our anniversary dinner, and the atmosphere was absolutely incredible, truly one of the best in Galveston. The lighting, décor, and overall feel of the restaurant made the evening feel very special. The food was delicious overall, but my steak was unfortunately overcooked. The sides were beautifully presented and flavorful, but we had only taken one or two bites when our server removed them without asking and discarded them, which was disappointing. Our server began the meal noticeably unfriendly and disengaged, which set an unexpected tone for what was meant to be a celebratory night. To her credit, her attitude improved significantly toward the end of the evening, but the early part of the service definitely impacted our experience. For the price point and the occasion, the food quality and service did not quite match the exceptional ambiance. We had hoped for a more consistent experience from start to finish. Overall, Number 13 has an incredible setting and a lot of potential, but our anniversary dinner fell short of expectations in a few important areas.

Beautiful place to dine-inside or out. You can view the harbor and experience a nice warm breeze outside. Food was not that exceptional. We have been to a million places that try. I give Number 13 props for trying but serving baby shrimp (6) on a bed of shaved ice and charging $20 is not worth it. Sorry guys. The tacos were bland and meat was wet. IYKYK. Otherwise it was a nice overall experience and music was great as well as the atmosphere.

2nd or 3rd visit since they opened... Food was good, service was okay and prices were not inexpensive. Atmosphere was awesome as it is a fabulous space. Not an every week or even month visit in my future.

Very very very disappointing. Our family loves a nice meal and often spends a decent amount of money for a good atmosphere and great food. When we arrived, it was very obvious this restaurant was associated with the yacht club, but if you are not apart of this club, then DO NOT GO. Treated horrible, table was overflowing with empty cups and plates that needed to be taken away. Spent 3+ hours for food and drinks as a family of 3, two adults and one 12-year-old son. Never been so looked down on. I am not one to leave a bad review, but want to save you and your $$ as there was many other great places near to chose from.

I wish I would be able give this place 5 stars but most things were just off putting. I’m visiting from New York and was super excited to try this place but here’s a few things you guys can improve upon. I’ve worked in the kitchen, as a manager, server, food runner, bartender, and hostess in many restaurants. 1) Starting off, bread was not given to us even though other tables have been getting it. When we asked for it, this server said, “Oh, you guys didn’t get it?” Obviously not, everyone else had white plates with bread to munch on and we didn’t even have a plate. Just apologize next time. 2) We were both still pretty much munching on our entrees or just finishing when a female server came and asked if we were done. Please do not do that, wait a few minutes before we finish to come ask, “Are you guys still working on your plates?”. We felt rushed and understand that it was closer to 9PM, however we are paying a lot so we expect the best service. 3) We ordered dessert. If a table orders one dessert and there’s more than one person, then bring them small plates. Small plates with napkins and spoon on top. Do not just lay the spoons on the dirty table that several plates had been on. Do not let the customers lean over the one plate of cake. 4) New York Strip was cooked so unevenly. I asked for medium rare and one side was overcooked and the other side was medium rare. You need to let your steak sit in room temp, get it on a nice sear but lay the thicker side on the sear first if it’s an uneven steak, then baste well. If I’m expecting top notch steak, as it’s supposed to be a steakhouse, the temperature should be even on both ends. If the difference between the ends are too vast for an even cook, please adjust the size. You guys should know this. The actual medium rare side was also chewy, I should not have a hard time swallowing a new york strip — it’s not a chuck roast. Overall, the oysters were great. They were plump, sandless, and juice was still on the shells. Props for the crackers on there, it’s good for people who can’t stomach oysters as well. Cake was good but could be more moist. Environmentally the ambience was nice, the windows depict the boats and sunset very well, and music was well chosen. Edit: You guys left yourself an extra $50 tip? Are you crazy. That’s 35-40% tip including what we gave. We already tipped an appropriate amount for the service we had received. Never come here. FRAUD.
