Saddle Ranch Chop House - Costa Mesa

I went to TheTriangle with a group of friends last night (Tuesday Night)As you may know the triangle can be busy Tuesdays nights for taco Tuesday.

MEATY DINNER I shared the ribs that came with veggies and mashed potatoes with a friend.

Came here on a whim for a weeknight dinner without the whole party and drinking scene that usually gets this place loud and rowdy.

This was our second visit to Saltwater Grill. The food was delicious and the service unmatched. We will definitely dine here again on our next visit to Galveston.

The Saltwater Grill has been a Galveston staple for some time. I was encouraged that the menu has been updated with new items, while preserving some of their best offerings - I swear the Shanghai Delight is laced with Prozac because I'm always happy when I eat it. This time I tried one of their new "naked" offerings, hoping the fish would be allowed to shine. I had the grilled redfish, which was done perfectly - the very thin edges were a little crisp and carmelized but the fish was still moist and flavorful. I did miss the bread - this was one of the few restaurants in town that started with something with substance, so I was quite disappointed when a little crock of crackers appeared instead of bread. The restaurant is very noisy - I was ok hearing my companions but certainly couldn't hear the server well.
