    WE thoroughly enjoyed our dining experience here. Our watier Eric, did an amazing job of recommending dinner specials, and uncorking a great wine selection for us. The Oysters Rockefeller were cooked better than any previos visit and served piping hot with lemon, crackers, and hot sauce on the side. The special Lobster Ravioli was innovative, creative, and just absolutely amazing. What a huge nod and applause to the Chef for creating such an amazing dish. The bar drinks were also fantastic, and the service from Eric was stellar. This was one of our best visits ever, at Willie G's in Galveston.

    We usually go to the same restaurant when we are in Galveston. This time we decided to venture out because it’s Galveston Food week. We looked at various restaurants menus and decided to come here. We were not disappointed. Everything was excellent, there was so much food to enjoy. We had appetizers, I had the steak and my husband had the pasta. By time the desserts arrived we were stuffed.
