4 /5 Kelly Moody: 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.
