Gaidos Seafood Restaurant
Jul 21, 2008 by Cheryl from Lafayette, LA
Overall Rating: 8

• Great food.
• Silverware not of good quality and glasses looked not clean; so water stained.

“Great food; pretty good service except for our hostess. Kind of rude; not so clean looking glassware and silverware. Better quality silverware needed to match atmosphere. Other than that, I would certainly go back for the food.”

• Nothing.
• Everything! Hair in food, service was bad, presentation was bad, etc.

“Found a hair cooked in our pancakes. Service was horrible. Food tasted like ihop. Kid's pancakes did not look any where near as cool, so kids were disappointed. Very busy place with a wait every morning.”

• The wait staff was amazing!
• Nothing!

“I went to Gaido's this past Friday night and I must say it was the best restaurant experience I've had in years. The wait staff was attentive, courteous, and professional. The food was amazing and the restaurant was very clean. I recommend it to anyone traveling to Galveston. I have no bad words to describe this place. In a word, it was superb!”

• Good wait staff, nice atmosphere.
• No available parking, bad seafood.

“Our party of six order a wide variety of foods. Reactions by meal order are: Country Fried Steak dinner was rated good. Club Sandwich basket was rated good Flounder platter rated dismal, fish did not taste at all like flounder, was dry, overcooked and horrible. Fisherman platter with fish and shrimp and gumbo. Fish was tasteless and dry, shrimp was ok, gumbo was good. Catfish platter rated poor. Fish same as other, dry, tasteless. Shrimp 16, shrimp was ok. Tartar sauce was found offensive by all. Red sauce (cocktail sauce for fish) tasted like ketchup with a few dull spices added in. Okra was chewy and tough, Poorly prepared. Waitress tried very hard, but service was only fair. Took an hour after sitting down to get meals on table. OH yeah, the French fries were really good, so if you don't mind paying for sandwiches and fries you will love this place. We did not! And yes we are experts on seafood having eaten it in dozens of seafood restaurants for 50 years. Pros: Our party of six order a wide variety of foods.

Rudy & Paco Restaurant

Food:[8] • Service:[8] • Atmosphere:[8]

• Variety and flavor.
• Owner treatment of non regular guests.

“The food is pricey but very good and the portions are not large, if you get a good waiter the service is outstanding. I think the attention the owner gives to regulars is understandable, but perhaps not business wise as many will not come back since they are totally ignored. Pico needs to realize this and at least make at least eye contact or wave to all guests who watch him parade around the restaurant to the same regulars and totally ignore them. We will probably be back and hope for a more attentive waiter next time we dine there.”
