Mike at 13 was absolutely phenomenal. From the moment we sat down, he provided outstanding service and made one of the best drinks I’ve had in a long time. He was friendly, attentive, knowledgeable, and made the entire experience enjoyable. It’s clear he takes pride in what he does, and it really shows. If you’re lucky enough to have Mike as your bartender, you’re in great hands. He was a big reason our visit was so memorable. Highly recommend!

The service was amazing. Our server was very personable, polite, courteous, and funny. She was definitely one of the highlights of our dining experience. Food wise, the lobster deviled eggs and the the lobster Mac & cheese were the best things on the menu. It was a little pricey. Definitely not a place to go, if you are on a budget.

Christy was our server and she made the experience a 10/10! All the food we got was 5 ⭐️ or even higher if that’s a thing. Heirloom tomatoes and burrata for our appetizer, we both got the mixed grill and the Mac and cheese was just perfect ! Everything was hot and our drinks never ran even 1/2 dry! We also got the warm butter cake for dessert and it was wonderful! Everything was perfect, the service & the view and the food. Would recommend this place to anyone and we will definitely be back! Ask for Christy if you go! She was very sweet, personable and patient with us even tho we took a while to order and they were busy.

Wonderful place on the water without a stringent dress code. Boat access nearby. The bread is so good I'd pay $20 for it. Great food, friendly servers, pretty location. High prices, though worth it if it's in your budget.

Great location with a view of the bay/marina. They have outdoor seating that would be fantastic for families on a nice day. As an appetizer we had the lobster deviled eggs and they were a really tasty bite. Expensive, but worth it! For my entree I had the fish tacos and while they weren't the best I've ever had they were still good. One order comes with 3 tacos, on flour tortillas with slaw and some sort of yummy sauce. I'll be back!

Beautiful evening ambiance and atmosphere for dinner last week. We decided to try the Galveston restaurant week menu, and I have to say that the desserts were the star of the show for us. We tried the bread pudding and butter cake and both were excellent. I was excited to try the beef Wellington but it was a little overcooked. My daughter’s macaroni and cheese was a 10 out of 10. So delicious! The extensive cocktail and wine menu was impressive. Service was a little lacking for such an upscale restaurant but not bad overall. A lovely experience and definitely a solid option for a special night out.

I am a little late with our review. But celebrated my birthday with my bday twinsie on Aug 13, 2025. We're from NorCal and total foodies, being spoiled with Napa. The food was incredible. Will definitely be back when we're visiting again in March 2026.

My spouse and I visited Number 13 for our anniversary dinner, and the atmosphere was absolutely incredible, truly one of the best in Galveston. The lighting, décor, and overall feel of the restaurant made the evening feel very special.
The food was delicious overall, but my steak was unfortunately overcooked. The sides were beautifully presented and flavorful, but we had only taken one or two bites when our server removed them without asking and discarded them, which was disappointing.
Our server began the meal noticeably unfriendly and disengaged, which set an unexpected tone for what was meant to be a celebratory night. To her credit, her attitude improved significantly toward the end of the evening, but the early part of the service definitely impacted our experience.
For the price point and the occasion, the food quality and service did not quite match the exceptional ambiance. We had hoped for a more consistent experience from start to finish.
Overall, Number 13 has an incredible setting and a lot of potential, but our anniversary dinner fell short of expectations in a few important areas.

Had a great dinner at 13. We used to come more, but had slowed down. The place is amazing, the old chef is back and the food was amazing.
We enjoyed the live music that was a nice touch and the bartender outside was a great. We had a nice conversation and learned all about him after dinner. The oysters were also perfect. Salty and full of rich flavor.

Number 13 is one of our go-to spots on the island. The indoor dining is elegant and relaxing, while the outdoor area has a casual, laid-back vibe with the very talented local artist Jordan Tydings performing during our visit. They serve organic, locally roasted Indies Coffee, and my husband’s Espresso Martini was delicious. I had the Springer Mountain Chicken, he had the Seared Tuna, and we shared the creamy Mac and Cheese—all full of flavor. We finished with the chocolate cake, beautifully presented and just as delicious as it looked. On previous visits, the Red Snapper and Seafood Pasta were also excellent.
A must when in Galveston—attentive staff, thoughtfully prepared food, and a wonderful atmosphere make it a spot we keep coming back to.

Such a wonderful dining experience. We were searching for the best seared tuna on the island and ended up being extremely satisfied with our choice. Wonderful service, amazing food, and the perfect ambiance for an elegant dinner.

My husband and I have traveled the world for the military, so when I tell you this place is the best, it truly is! My favorite restaurant. The food is impeccable with large portions. The location, ambience and views are lovely. The service is fantastic and friendly. We love this place, please don’t ever remove the seafood pasta!

Wow wow wow. Can’t say how blown away I was by this place, not pictured is the New York strip that I had. It was cooked perfectly seasoned very well, but the real winner were all the choices of toppers. I had bone marrow, boiled and butter added to my steak and it was heavenly. We also had the fried lobster roll, which was decadent. Bring your appetite. Finished it with their warm butter cake with pistachio ice cream another winner. I was surprised to see they had a selection of East Coast oysters, which are my favorite. I do not prefer golf oysters. They were outstanding. He also made a point to mention they have the hottest horseradish you’ll ever taste. I can bat for that. It will Clear out your sinuses. Be careful.

I recently visited this unique restaurant on Galveston Island, and it left a lasting impression. The oddly shaped dining area features remarkably high ceilings, creating an unusual acoustic atmosphere that's almost cavernous.

The cuisine was inventive and delectable. I opted for the Tomahawk steak, which, although slightly overcooked, still packed plenty of flavor. Other standouts included expertly prepared king crab legs, flavorful fish tacos, and succulent lobster. Overall, the dishes were creatively presented and bursting with flavor.

While there's room for minor improvement, this restaurant's distinctive charm and impressive culinary offerings make it a must-visit on Galveston Island.

Never have had a better dining experience. The server, Garrett, was fantastic. Great energy, quick with jokes, and very personable. Made us feel like we never made any bad decisions in regards to our meals. The food was fantastic. Perfectly cooked and seasoned. Mac and cheese was delicious. Ribeye steak was cooked to my temp and was excellent. The scallops were buttery and delicious. The lobster tail was succulent. Couldn't have had a better dinner. Thank you to everyone still giving their best even at 45 minutes to closing.
