These Restaurants Just Won the 2025 James Beard America’s Classics Award | Eater

"A fixture of Galveston’s seafood community for 114 years, this restaurant was opened in 1911 by Italian immigrant San Giacinto Gaido and is now helmed by fourth-generation Nick Gaido and his wife, Kateryna. Gulf Coast seafood takes center stage with longtime offerings like redfish, catfish, scallops, and shrimp served grilled, fried, in creamy pastas, and on crostini. The restaurant’s storied history is displayed in photos and artifacts throughout the space, and the owners actively participate in community causes—donating over $50,000 for Ukraine, where Kateryna is from, at the start of the war." - Kayla Stewart
