Fish Tales in Galveston...where do I even start. We just left there with a party of 8. To start, parking was $15 per vehicle so $30 before we stepped inside. Our party was 2 adults and 6 kids ranging from 16 years to 18 months. There was no wait, which was really nice for a large family. Once seated, I had to go back to the host stand to ask for a high chair. Our kids were given their drinks fairly fast while we were given waters since we ordered bar drinks. Once kids drinks were delivered, we ordered an appetizer (shrimp kisses, which were delicious, but $15 for 5 shrimp seems high, but location, so I get it.) We ordered our meals and our appetizer was delivered about 10 minutes later. Still no bar drinks (bottled beer and a sangria swirl) which I asked if they were still coming and they showed up 5 minutes later. Once the food was delivered, the kids drinks stayed empty until another server came by and asked the kids if they wanted refills. She was great, I wish I got her name. I ordered a beer from her too but she wasn't able to order it apparently because she needed our servers card to ring it in. Our server was busy with the table next to us that came in 30+ minutes after us, and hardly checked on us. I ordered the redfish, broiled, topped with the shrimp and crab for an extra $9.99, with rice and fries. Mind you, it was already $31 before the topping. I got a dried out piece of fish that had 2 little shrimp, some butter sauce, and a couple pieces of crumbled crab on it. It was not worth the $40 they charged. The kids menu says upgrade to icee for $2.99 implying kids drinks were less than $2.99. But no, they were $3.75.... Even though on the receipt for my son who got the icee it says "kids drink $0.00...upgrade icee 2.99" I asked about it but was told it was correct, and said it didn't make sense to her either that drinks do not come with kids meals.
Before you ask, no, at that point, it wasn't worth bringing it to the attention of a manager, as we're on vacation but trying to feed kids, have a nice meal, and get back to the house.
0/10 won't be back after dropping $250 for dinner.
