"I had dinner there with my family after receiving rave reviews of the restaurant. Our server was very nice, but marginally incompetent. He didn't know many details about the menu when asked for details. One of the starters was served without any of the 3 ingredients (olives with canned citrus and fried parsley - served without the fried parsley - not the waiter's fault). The waiter presented the special as an appetizer, but it was actually an appetizer. My main course (or should I say "starter") was served about 5 minutes after the rest of my table had already served their main courses. I was able to order another main course when it was clear that I had ordered an appetizer, but by then the rest of the table was done with the main course. The rest of the people at my table enjoyed the food and the beers were delicious, but overall my experience was not great."

"The name West End Wine Bar Pub doesn't do much justice to the restaurant. In my opinion, this is an amazing business-casual farm-to-table restaurant and bar! This is great choice for dinner. There is a pub downstairs. Excellent salads, appetizers, entrees, and sandwiches. Everything on the menu is fresh. Salad options are especially well done and are as fresh as it gets. Local farm sourced meats and vegetables are featured and are frequently available. The atmosphere is like a relaxed fine-dining restaurant. Service has been outstanding! Very popular place. The venue is a nicely repurposed beautiful former 1915 inn. They do take reservations, which during typical dinner times, fill up quickly, so those are a must. Once in a while we luck out if just stopping by to check on the spot availability. However we usually find immediate seating if we make reservations avoiding typical dinner times. There is also a very nice new enclosed outdoor seating area. Parking is free and available, although can be a bit tight at their busy times. Handicapped accessibility is very good; multiple handicapped parking spaces are close. There is a wheelchair lift from the parking lot to the restaurant. The menu is artfully designed and executed. The kitchen is highly competent and hardworking, providing orders within reasonable waits. Everything on the menu is excellent. Portions tend to be large. An appetizer and a salad can make a whole meal. The short ribs entree is not to be missed. The pork chops are also a favorite entree. The full bar is very capable. The bar area is a very good seating option if tables aren't available. They offer creatively-done cocktails. Very good bourbon list, quite a number of favorites are included. Wine list is carefully curated and is well rounded. It's well worth a visit, and no kidding it will be a happy experience! We have been there many times and it's always been very good. It's tucked away on the west side of town, but it's not to be missed. Highly recommended!"

"The staff at Di Salvo, particularly Michael Fossati, who is the catering and banquet manager, were amazing and made our wedding reception planning completely stress-free and enjoyable. Mike guided my fiancée and me through the challenges of having a wedding during a pandemic, addressing the concerns of guests who were anxious about their safety but still wanted to celebrate with us. He handled food accommodations effortlessly. On the day of the reception, which had been postponed due to COVID, the service was incredibly fast and smooth. Every course was served promptly and cleared away without a hitch, and Mike even had a wallet ready for the money dance when we found ourselves without one! They truly made what I expected to be a hectic event much more manageable. I would definitely choose Di Salvo's Station Restaurant for our wedding reception again!"

"The saltwater grill has been a Galveston staple for some time. I was encouraged that the menu was updated with new items while keeping some of their best offerings. I swear the Shanghai Delight is strewn with Prozac because I am always happy when I eat it. This time I tried one of their new "naked" offerings in the hope that the fish would be allowed to shine. I had the grilled redfish which was done perfectly - the very thin edges were a little crispy and caramelized, but the fish was still moist and flavorful. I missed the bread - this was one of the few restaurants in town that started with something substantial, so I was quite disappointed when a small pot of crackers showed up instead of bread. The restaurant is very noisy - I was fine to hear my companions but there was no way I could hear the waiter well."

"We stayed at the hotel associated with this hotel and purchased a package which included dinner ( a set menu we learned that was to be same for both nights, good to ask ahead of time, but ok) reservation at 6, arrived at 6:05, yes we were late, waited for water/drinks till 6:35, salads finally arrived at 7:15 after ordering dinner when drinks arrived. Then told dinner would be out in 5 minutes and we suggested 10 so we could eat our salads. Mind you we had an 8 p.m. theatre to attend. Waiter was very nice, but seemed like all the rest to be all over the place, said he had to make the drinks himself as he could not find the bartender. Mind you they have a full bar. The salads left nothing to the imagination, very bland. Dinner finally arrived at 7:35. The portions are large. Can not say how the main courses are as we sent our dinner back, as we did not want to have to wolf down dinner in 15 minutes before walking to a theater. We asked for dinning room manager who never came over earlier. Others around us were waiting on their dinners/drinks. This place is NOT CHEAP. I would not recommend at all. I would go to the Ravine Wine Estates for dinner as we did the next night, It was Outstanding. To the credit of the hotel they did comp drinks/salad and take off the price of the meal from our package. We did not dine the 2nd night as was planned with our package, one bad experience and no face to face with a manager in what is to be a High End restaurant and hotel was enough for us. To many other great places to dine like the Ravine or Treadwell in this city."

"Our server was Andrew, charming, energetic, and always appeared just when we needed him. The manager stopped by to see how everything was. Our food was served hot, was plentiful and was very good, with one caveat: The kitchen uses whole peppercorns in just about everything. Biting into one is unpleasant and sends me into fits of coughing. Banish black peppercorns and stop over-use of black pepper! The atmosphere is very noisy and the restaurant could use some baffles of material to absorb sound that ricochets and forces to people to scream at their table companions. We'll go back but try for good weather and to eat on the patio."

"As usual the sea food offerings were delicious and plentiful. Endless shrimp, oysters and crab legs help justify the hefty $60 per price. The service once seated is over the top. Our waiter continually checking on us, refreshing our drinks and clearing or finished plates. My only concern was the noise level and the large number of patrons circling the various food stations….at times a real frenzy! For that special occasion, The Blue Ridge on Fridays is the place to be."

"Came here for a holiday celebration, after being impressed with a previous visit pre-pandemic. Unfortunately, the experience was not what I remembered it to be. The bone-in ribeye was about 1/3 fat. The Brussels sprouts were overcooked. The toast that came with the bone marrow was soggy. And, to round it all off, I found a long hair in my French fries. The waiter was very gracious and removed the fries from our bill. However, the experience overall was quite off-putting, and we will not be going back."

"unfortunately we had a really bad experience. we ordered caesar salat, huhn marsala and huh parmesan. the place was almost empty. it took 15 minutes to get the salat. it was tasty, but a huge crumb was so hard that you could not break it with your teeth. the sauce in the marsala was thin as water and was tasteless. the chicken was tender, but needed a robust sauce. the huh parmesan was the greatest disappointment. She was pretty literally burned to a cripple. it was then covered with sauce as if it were a masterpiece. I turned around the cutlet to expose the burned chest and call the manager. When he was asked, he said no, he wouldn't eat it either. we had waited a very long time for our meal, and we are quite worried that you were completely infallible. the manager has personally cooked a new parm that we have taken home. they offered us dessert that we did not eat. on our request they composed the chicken stable. this is not the first slow and less than satisfying experience in amadeos. I'm so sorry that they fail. I know that the employment situation for restaurants is difficult, but there is no excuse for serving burnt foods. we are not going back."
