    Great ambiance, service, drinks and appetizers on point no kids after 5pm We were staying at the hotel and since we were already there before 5pm with our kids they were ok to stay there after walking and shopping the local shops great spot for drinks and hang out

    I had been highly anticipating the reopening of the rooftop bar for several years, but was underwhelmed. You'll need to make a reservation to sit pretty much anywhere but the bar, as the outside tables get booked. Still a nice vibe and view, although overpriced. I do not mind paying a premium for the ambiance, but the charcuterie board was pretty disappointing at $30. Drinks, however, were decent.

    We have always loved the Rooftop Bar, now it's incredible. We made reservations before attending a play across the street. Service was great, as were our old fashioned and espresso martini. We ordered lightly and had the baked goat cheese and the tuna tartar both delicious. I forgot to take pics of the food!

    Nice for a view and a drink. Better at night Id think as there isn't any cover to block the sun. Shrimp cocktail was big and fresh and ole. Fashion drink was good.

    Good spot for a drink and a small bite. Sometimes it's easier to go with a big group than with just two people. Great views of the island and good drinks. The small bites are tasty and have some descent options. Will definitely be back

    I love the newly renovated Rooftop Bar. It's beautiful and cozy. There's both indoor and outdoor seating. I had the Tremont Hotel Old Fashioned along with a delicious (large) pretzel with cheese and a crab cake. The indoor seating had comfortable lounge style spaces and seating at the bar. The outside area wrapped along the sides and had fire pits to keep you warm. The views were excellent and overlooked the Mardi Gras parades. The service was friendly and attentive.

    The staff was very nice! It probably is the best view you can get of the big cruise ships that come through town. They are massive. The food measured up to the view which doesn't always happen. The ceviche was cold and fresh and the pork rinds were crispy. The cheese could have been hotter but I'm not sure if they weren't trying mimic the gas station room temp cheese style. It's really pricey is all but you are paying for the atmosphere.

    Worth the wait for The Rooftop Bar to reopen. They did an amazing job with the place. It's so comfortable and quite the view. We went the first week it was open so they were open, but you wouldn't have known it. They were organized and so friendly. We tried almost everything on the menu. My favorites were the Wagyu Beef Sliders, The Pork Belly Bau Bau, and the pretzel. I'm a local, so I'll be back. Excited to have a new place to hang out.

    Old fashion

    Great service and delicious cocktails! I had an espresso martini and my husband had the old fashion....both were super delicious! Didn't eat, just had drinks. Highly recommend!

    Lovely pit stop, rooftop is all enclosed and full air conditioned. Had great craft cocktails and wonderful service. Menu is not expansive but plenty to choose from. Key point is AC works!

    Warm Bavarian pretzel. Yum!

    BLVD Seafood - Greek salad, full of texture and flavor. This is a half portion (we shared), so it worked well as an appetizer.

    Hands down one of the best meals we have ever had. We are from Houston as well as in the restaurant…read morebusiness. We are admittedly food snobs. our meal from start to finish was nothing short of spectacular. We highly recommend starting with the CRAB STUFFED SHRIMP, (yum). The WEDGE (get a half!) is so good and fresh (I had no blue cheese, substituted with ranch). The WHITE (loaded chowder) and the JOBBER (loaded gumbo) were totally delectable. They both came with crispy garlic bread. THEN, even though we didn't need it, we shared the CRUISER LINGUINI (linguini with clams, bacon, white wine sauce, tomatoes, leeks) seriously totally to die for. We counted at least 30 little neck clams. We could have rolled out the door by now, but nooo... we had to have dessert. We chose the Crème Brûlée Trio. The selections are seasonal. Tonight was coconut, tres leches, and pecan. Of course we added cappuccino and Baileys. We couldn't have asked for anything better. Our server, Misty was a delight. We WILL be back!!

    This was a fantastic meal. We had some recommendations from people on the plane with us and we also…read morehad some recommendations from our Uber driver, but ultimately we needed to find a restaurant that had available reservations for the evening. We made an 8:00 reservation and then we're running late and called to let them know. They had no issues when we arrived even though it was 20 minutes late. The restaurant was smaller than I expected but very nice and when we arrived we were among the last tables to be seated for the evening. The servers were fantastic, and especially our server, Haley, who took care of all of our needs. She kept our water glasses full, kept checking on us and took care of all of our dinner needs. My mother and I started with the chowder and house salad. We then ordered our meal and my mother had the Cedar Plank Salmon and I had the Blvd seafood sampler with Redfish, shrimp and scallops and both of our meals were outstanding. The seafood chowder, even just a cup was huge with tons of seafood, so much so I was wondering if I'd be able to eat my meal. It was filling but I devoured the seafood and found that I love Redfish! Yvonne came over mid meal to check on us. I presume she was a manager. Blvd is an outstanding and reasonable restaurant and I highly recommend that you check it out if you are in the area or coming to Galveston for a cruise. I look forward to returning in the future.

    Went yesterday for brunch and decided to go again today. Glad I did because the second time,…read moreservice was better than the first. Porch Cafe is located on the east side of Beach Town. It's an upscale but relaxed kind of place where casual attire is fine but the food shows up dressed for the occasion. The food was absolutely the star. Yesterday I started with the watermelon salad and my husband had the melon salad with pesto sauce. They were both so good that he ordered the melon salad again today and I ordered the mussels and fries. The mussels were tender and the sauce that comes dressed on the fries, delicious. For my entree I ordered the avocado toast both days because it was just that good. For my husband's entree he ordered the risotto and added shrimp. It was good but he could do without the tomato sauce. And his old fashioned was made just right which for us is always the tell of a serious bar. Thank you, Bartender. Today we were greeted as soon as we walked in but yesterday we stood waiting for someone to greet us. And then we were told it was going to be a 10-15 minute wait for our table. I told her we'll wait because I'm sure it won't take 15 minutes to prepare one of the four empty tables that simply needed cleaning. It took them 2 minutes to seat us. Our dining experience was lovely. On both days we got Brian for our waiter and he was friendly and efficient, and the food was excellent.

    We came for Sunday brunch and saw on their website that they had plenty of available reservation…read moreslots for that morning and also took walk-ins. We walked in with only three tables filled inside, waited for ten minutes before the hostess came and were told it would be an hour wait. I immediately booked a reservation on the spot that was available in fifteen minutes. We walk back up to the hostess station and had to wait another ten minutes before I could show the hostess my reservation. Despite the reservation, it was clear that they just didn't want to serve us but did so begrudgingly. The staff gave us dirty looks and the service was slow at best which is a shame because the food was quite good. After paying, the hostess apologized and explained it was because they were busy setting up a reserved table for a party in the back. Seems like they could do with more staff if they can't even handle three tables.

    Cutting across Texas to New Orleans, I knew we would be skimming the shore of the Gulf of Mexico…read more Shut up. My review, I can call it what I want. That being said, it had been some time since I've gotten some proper fish-n-chips. I had to remedy that. Especially since the BBQ fiasco the other day, I was going to go on a hunger strike, but once I made the sign, I got potato chip fingers on it and started to eat it. So, I decided to fight fire with fire, and figured I would eat myself happy again. Which I'm never mad about. Sometimes I make myself angry just so I can eat myself happy. And now, the rest of the story. I have learned that I enjoy Cod fish for my fish-n-chips. And I think also Haddock. I am not a fisher nor a fish. So it's hard for me to say. But I know Cod is one for sure. I also sometimes have baby mouth and am afraid of new things. I do know I love my fish battered and deep fried. I also know that Shark Shack had good reviews for their fish, so, that was all I needed to hear. Plus, it was a perfect little eatery with bar seating, table seating, and gifts! So you can bet your bottom dollar tomorrow I ordered the English fish-n-chips. Boy oh boy. Just like how Britain colonized all those countries back when it was the cool thing to do, these fish and chips colonized my taste buds. Respectfully. This plate came with FIVE logs of fish. FIVE! Maybe they were tubes of fish? Honestly, I don't care what shape they came in, they looked perfectly crunchy and perfectly brown and perfectly fish. The super cool extra bonus? These fish came with CRISPIES! I've only ever seen crisps with fish from Long John Silvers, whose fish is probably as far from Cod or Haddock as legally possible. I actually think one of my pieces of fish from there had shoelaces. Didn't matter. Still ate it. Respectfully. (If you aren't privileged enough to know what fish crispies are, there little batter pieces that fry or fall off the fish as they cook. Basically little crumblies. If you make a wish over a fork of them and get the forkful in your mouth without dropping any, your wish will come true). Homemade tartar sauce was good, but there was a certain flavor profile that I wasn't a fan of. It was still good to use on the fish rods, it just tasted a little too much out of the tartar sauce field for me. The meal was wrapped up nice and tight with lovely square-cut fries. Perfect doneness. Perfect Ketchup vessel. I could just stare at a pile of them all night. Mostly because I'm weird.

So other than the service being a little slow, the place was really cute. The ambience is amazing. I love the big chandelier. It gives you old-time rich vibes. Their menu has different options. They do have a vegetarian portion. The samosas were kind of like beef, taco mimosas that's what it taste like to me. They're red fish was really good cause the crab crusted on the outside and the sauce mixed together. I definitely recommend getting that if you like fish. I got it with a side of mac & cheese. It does come with veggies, but they let you change out the side. My mom got the margarita pizza and I've had pizza for sure but they do have five or six options of pizzas to choose from. And all the best thing was the bread pudding. Definitely get that save some room. It was warm with ice cream and the perfect bread pudding. I've ever had get it. There is street parking after six. It's free. There's a garage parking too. I don't know how much it costs. Besides the service, everything was really good. It took them a while to fill up our waters, but I did notice they were shortstaffed.
