If I could only eat one dish for the rest of my life, it might be Rumi’s hummus with lamb merguez sausage. Try it. I’m so happy that I have leftover smoked eggplant and tah dihg. The food is just so good here.

About the restaurant

Named after our daughter Grace, along with the idea that a steakhouse can be graceful, whimsical, and elegant without being dark and moody. What started as a vision to keep the vibe light and airy while letting the outside in, has turned into an Award-winning design of which we couldn't be prouder.
This menu is truly meant to offer something for everyone, with often found steakhouse features as well as a plethora of seafood to truly highlight the best of the gulf and beyond. Prime, Dry Aged and local Wagyu cuts of beef in 4 to 40 oz. portions are available to satisfy any sized appetite.

About the restaurant

The toast of the Texas coast.
How can frozen fish be called fresh? The answer for anyone with snap is simple: it can’t. That’s why Gaido’s is the classic choice for fresh Gulf seafood. Patrons know Gaido’s is real, when others are clearly not. From red snapper and blue crab to white tablecloths crumbed with panache, there’s no denying Gaido’s is one-of-a-kind in a world of imitation. Now, after four generations of filleting, frying, grilling and baking, Gaido’s has grown into the picture perfect place of traditions– birthdays, anniversaries, retirements, reunions. As the largest fresh fish house on the coast, Gaido’s can serve up to 2,500 happy diners a day. Plus, with the Pelican Club, private dining, catering, a new food truck and parking galore…it’s easy to see why Gaido’s -– for over 100 years – is truly the coastal classic.

We had excellent service. It was start of crab week so we had several crab starters. The blue crab claws were amazing. The soft shell crab was good but had a heavy breading. Have the gumbo, it was great. Our entree was the red snapper and shrimp and grits. The red snapper was a nice piece of fish but the breading was thick. This took away from the fish. The shrimp and grits had a huge helping of grits that was blue cheese flavor. It’s was ok but a bit too much. The building is old and has a lot of history. We were happy we went and enjoyed the experience.
