Not a perfectly elegant, high-class place, but my greek salad was excellent. The only downside to a frugal gal like me was the price. My salad was $11.99 plus tax and tip. I don't like to spend this much on lunch.

A trip to Galveston isn't complete without at least one meal at the Olympia Grill. We had a Greek salad, fried shrimp, and fresh vegetables. Topped it off with to-die-for baklava and coffee. It was wonderful!!!

The ingredients are uniformly fresh and the menu is varied enough to appeal to any taste. There's not a Seawall view but that doesn't matter - just come in, relax, and enjoy. On this visit, our server was a bit distracted. He brought me the wrong drink and it took two tries to get an extra napkin for a salad... More

We were not looking for this restaurant, but "settled" on it while driving around Galveston. We are glad we did. Unlike our other adventure in Galveston dining, this place really cared about it's customers. We received excellent service and the food was good to great. I had the fresh fish and it was excellent. You will not be disappointed in... More

Just across from the seawall, this place is highly recommended. We had the hummus, a greek salad, and a Meditteranean pizza ... all excellent.

We were here for lunch and very much enjoyed the greek salad. Our waitress was friendly and efficient. They have many authentic type dishes on their menu and the prices seemed reasonable. I had a smaller sized portion and it was plenty of food for lunch or dinner.

The food here is pretty good and retains a lot of "Greekness" that seems to be lost in a lot of Greek places. The service I got at lunchtime was quick (though the place wasn't very busy). Go for the actual Greek dishes here and you won't be disappointed. Not especially cheap but worth it every once in a while.

We had a large party being served dinner and the atmosphere was great. The food was delicious - I had the grouper entree. Deserts were tasty and all in all a great dining experience. We would highly recommend trying this place.

This restaurant is on the pier with a nice view and food is excellent. I only had the crab cake appetizer but it was very good. My friend had a full dinner and he said it was also good. Price was typical for a good seafood restaurant.

No falafel or baba ganoush, but plenty of vegetarian options. The food was good, simple, and fresh. Great service and very clean. Nice to have a vegetarian option in Galveston!
