    Oysters on half shell
    Donna S.

    Best outdoor view ...amazing attentive staff and cold crisp champagne and 50cent oysters!! perfect get away yet close to home

    Wife

    Stopped by on a beautiful afternoon to enjoy some fresh raw oysters! Weather was perfect on the patio and the view was lovely. Ordered 2 tall beers and a dozen oysters. Beer was refreshing and cold and the oysters were plump and delicious!

    Yummy dinner last night! Everything was so good- the grilled oysters, the mermaid kisses, the fried shrimp and the margaritas. Love the atmosphere and service also, fun for a casual place!

    Parmesan Redfish

    My husband and I finally tried Noah's Ark, as Pier 6 regulars, we had to check out their sibling restaurant. The vibe is super beachy, almost like a relaxed treehouse, and it's right on the waterfront with a gorgeous view. The staff is friendly, attentive, and genuinely helpful. Their menu leans more toward bar‑style bites with plenty of fried options. We started with the shrimp poppers, fresh shrimp wrapped in a full strip of bacon and fried to perfection. Crispy, savory, a little spicy... an excellent appetizer, and service was impressively quick. Next came Noah's Oysters, baked with garlic butter and Parmesan. You really can't go wrong with those flavors. Then we tried the Parmesan‑crusted Redfish with shrimp, and wow! beautifully plated, fresh, and the sauce was magnificent. The Parmesan crust was everything, and the touch of sun‑dried tomatoes made the dish even better. Overall, we had a great experience at Noah's. Fresh food, great service, and a beautiful waterfront setting. We'll definitely be back.

    It's my understanding that this place has been bought by the folks at Prestige Oysters, who also own Pier 6 and Fish Company Taco. (Our server told me that this company also owns Gilhooley's in San Leon, but my research shows that it's owned by Misho's.) Either way, Noah's Ark seems better now ... cleaner ... more respectable. It's always been decent. The menu has always been varied, and the view has always been spectacular. But it always seemed that mediocre food, along with the stench of cigarettes, was the price one had to pay to come here. Not on this visit. Though the menu is a cluster bomb (they're in the process of updating it, according to Caleb, our server), the shrimp tastes like it was caught hours earlier. Additionally, it was fried to perfection. Lightly breaded and crisp. The oysters were also nicely cooked and tasted very fresh. On many previous visits, a quick trip inside to the bathroom meant walking through the stench of smoke. This place previously had a poker room. I'm not sure whether that still exists, but why do people need to smoke to play poker anyway? -- I digress. The smoke smell seems to be a thing of the past these days, though the men's bathroom had more plastic and tape over the urinals than your average bus station. All in all, I was impressed with the improvements made here. They still have some room to grow, but I am pleased to be able to come here now for the food -- in addition to the view of the Galveston Bay.

    Admirals Platter

    Had a great Sunday dinner sitting outside at Noah's today! With the weather finally getting nicer we chose Noah's because of the outdoor patio and bay view. They have a great draft beer selection with local brews and full bar as well. For app went with the Oyster Rockefeller and 1/2 dozen raw as they were on happy hour which is daily! For entrees my lady had the etouffe and I went for the admirals platter. The seafood was fresh and quantities were great. The kids went with chicken strips and both had some to bring home. Our server was attentive and friendly and the food came out super fast. There was live music upstairs but only over 21 is allowed so we will have to come back kid-free sometime! Look forward to returning to Noah's in the future as the atmosphere and location is perfect for us!

    We went last Saturday around 4 because the weather was amazing and we have been wanting to try it since the new owners took over. Kimberly was our server, it was her second day on the floor and she was a rock star! She will be one of the best they have, ask for Kimberly. The oysters were on a special, .50 cents each! As you can see they were very big and they were delicious!! The other appetizers were really good and tasty! They had a one man band that was great, not too loud so carrying on with a conversation wasn't an issue. Great view of the bay!

    Crab and shrimp cerviche
    Elizabeth R.

    We heard that the owner appeared six also bought this restaurant recently and was working to make it better. We decided to stop by on Sunday morning around 10:30. What fun we had. Y'all, this is one of the best kept secrets and I almost hate to even put it out there. For $15 you can get a breakfast buffet with a custom omelette station, boiled shrimp, and fresh oysters along with everything else that would normally be on a buffet you can also enjoy mimosas for four dollars. We felt like we were stealing ha ha My brother and I shared a ceviche which was absolutely amazing with lots of shrimp and crab, and Buffalo wings that were excellent. Both were eight dollars. The atmosphere was relaxed, and our waiter was so sweet, accommodating, and efficient bravo Raz! You did it again. Do you know what people like you put yourself in the customer shoes. You train your people well you offer food for a good value. I wish you all the success.

    Cast iron pot pie

    This is a great place to wnjoy the view. I tried the new menu item. The cast iron pot pie. It's very flavorful. It's not bland like most are.

    Wonderful shrimp dinner and the catfish was too. Healthy portions that a person would likely not be able to eat. Also the ambiance is right on. Service was great. 10 stars in my book.

    Upstairs bar and dining.
    Doug F.

    This is the perfect place for lunch, drinks, and dinner in the water. Tiki hut ambiance with their 2nd floor porch catching the best breezes on the Gulf. Our upstairs team, Dani and Ashleigh, were attentive and friendly, helping us work through the menu. Our food came out as ordered and really hit the spot at lunch. We're coming back and bringing friends.

    See all

    The food was great. Our waitress was very attentive. We sat where we could look at the bay and watch the pelicans.

    Good location. Noah's Oysters not charred enough. Other entrees were good. Service was good. Burgers looked great (next table over).

    Anything special happening here on Easter?

    We want to have lunch on Sunday but also watch the Masters on TV. Is there a spot to do that here?

    Sorry for the late reply. Yes 21 & up in our upstairs open air palapa we have 6 TVs. Downstairs we about the same but they are inside but we have plenty of tables with a great view of the water.

    Are you pet friendly outside?

    They do allow pets outside on the patios

Hey y'all, I'll be here waivin my free flag chomping on caeser salad like a bisectual goat and slicing my beef well done like I deserve to eat it! Just wanted to take time to shout out the best spot in TX - also leave that poor Prince Andrew alone! I got a Prince Albert on my birth Willie and neither did no harm to no one! Bone appetit!

    Restaurant Review: The Velvet Quarter 2234 E. NASA Parkway,…read moreSeabrook, TX My friend and I visited The Velvet Quarter with the intention of enjoying a relaxed meal on the patio. When we arrived, we seated ourselves outside, where there was only one other group present. Despite the patio being very small and the waitress coming in and out several times, we were never acknowledged or approached. After waiting for some time, I went inside and spoke with the owner, Adolf. He came out to our table and briefly discussed menu options with us. I asked specifically about the fish and chips, as we were told some dishes were no longer available due to an earlier rush. He said he would go check on that for me--but he never returned. Fifteen minutes later, we still had not received any service. When the waitress came back onto the patio again, I called her over and asked when we might be helped. She told me she "did not see us there," which I found difficult to believe given the size of the patio. After that interaction, she did not return to take our order. I went back inside and spoke with the owner again, this time clearly frustrated. He looked me directly in the eyes, raised both hands, and said, "You can calm down now." He repeated it in a tone that felt condescending and dismissive. I responded, "Thank you for giving me permission to calm down," and at that point, I turned around, walked out, and left with my friend to dine elsewhere. I cannot comment on the quality of the food because we were never served. I can comment on the service, which was extremely poor. On a scale of 1 to 10, I would rate the service a zero. Based on this experience, I will not be returning to The Velvet Quarter.
