Best Place to Eat In Town

by kristina kuehl

We had a party of 65 people in the private dining room at Olympia Pier 21 and everything was PERFECT! The presentation of the food was beautiful and every single item was delicious! We were served greek salads and there was a buffet of sliced lamb, chicken picata and a variety of desserts. I must say though that the party favorite was the stuffed shrimp! To top it off, we were made to feel very special with the perfect service!

Food Poisoning from Stuffed Shrimp

by MotherOfBride

This is a very nice place to eat, but unfortunately my meal of stuffed shrimp gave me a bad case of food poisoning. I've been very ill all morning. I find it unacceptable that restaurants that are high-end on menu prices don't have a better way to check out the freshness of their seafood before serving. When I called to report it so they could check the shrimp, they were very personable. They will send me a gift certificate, which I will pass on to a friend or relative of mine, because I don't think I'll be able to go back. It was too pricey, and I was served spoiled seafood. Bad experience.

Concerned

by brendatexas

I enjoyed lunching on the deck and the service was great. The food was pretty good but I've had better greek. My concern is all the demerits it received from the Health Department. With the location and design this could be a fabulous place, just please get the kitchen in order.

• Pros: Great outdoor seating, great decor.
• Cons: Food ok, but problems.

Welcoming Staff & Awesome Seafood

by DGoddess

I had dinner with a friend last week. When we walked into the restaurant, we were greeted with happy smiling faces! (This is SO different for Galveston) The restaurant was sparkling clean and the lingering aromas from the open kitchen were mouth watering. I ordered the grilled Flounder with rice and Greek side. It was amazing. The fish was flaky and so flavorful! I ordered a wonderful glass of white wine, with the help of the server who was very educated regarding wine... (Total Plus!!) My friend had the Greek lasagna (Pastichio) which tasted amazing. The noodles were cooked properly and the sauce was perfect! We ordered the White Chocolate & Caramel Bread Pudding for dessert... Let me just say that I am ordering a pan of this bread pudding for my family for Christmas... It was so buttery and yummy! The staff was great and the service was right on. The manager checked on us during our meal, which was a nice personal touch. This is my new hot spot for an awesome meal and fabulous view!

• Pros: Best seafood with Harbor view!
• Cons: Make sure to get your parking ticket validated before leavin

Awesome food and great outdoor area!

by kikigil

I love greek food and this place does an awesome job! I am greek and so it is really hard to find really great greek food that can stand up to old family recipes but this place does just that! Everytime I am in town I go and try something new. I have always been pleased with my meal!!! The view is great too- I actually saw a dolphin in the water. I highly recommend this place!!!

• Pros: Food/View
• Cons: None
