They are at 1508 39th, mid-Island. See www.galveston.com/ChopinMonAmi. I'm not sure if they are taking charge cards now, you'll have to check. They were flooded pretty thoroughly in Ike so they have had to regroup.

I was not impressed with my one breakfast there pre-Ike. Service was slow and my "Islander" came with raw vegtables that apparently were tossed on top of the eggs after they were taken off the grille. I have heard some good things lately, and have been meaning to go back, but there are so many other places that made a better first impression.

Diva - I'll tell you this: EatCetera's asparagus sandwich with blue cheese cream spread? There is nothing more delicious between 2 pieces of bread on earth. Period.

I was there last night myself. Second that emotion.

Good for you, Diva! I've been wondering about ya . . .

Since we had to go visit my dad who had just returned to Hearthstone in Texas City, Gene and I ate at Grand Prize Barbeque. VERY TASTY turkey with more than ample portions and reasonable prices!! Those of you stranded in the League City/Dickinson area, check it out on Palmer Highway.

I have only eaten there once, but really enjoyed it. Service was great. The owners stopped by our table. We heard the ghost story etc. I will go back, and back, and back....

Anyone here the rumor that Glass Wall Restaurant from the Houston Heights area is set to open in Galveston?

I hosted a dinner party at Bernardo's in early 2008. What a mistake!

The menu was not the one posted online ("yeah, we're working on changing that"), the white wine was served at near room temperature ("I'll just ice it down for you, won't take more than a few minutes") and the service was chatty and intrusive.

Food was acceptable, but indifferent management and poorly-trained waitress were not. I won't be back.

re: Mosquito Café always a treat!

It's probably my favorite place on the Island for breakfast or lunch. Too bad that so many other folks feel the same way! Although I always seem to find a table.

Right. What's that quote about publicity: that any kind is better than none?

My dining buddies assured me that I should never order a Mexican breakfast anywhere but a Mexican restaurant. I guess what I REALLY wanted was migas! They assured me that their meals were quite fine, and they knew the old Miller's menu.

Kay and Debbie The Monday - Friday crew are a great team.

The coffee is always great.

well if they wanted to get the Island talking about them by painting that place such aweful colors ... then they did a great job!!

I agree the interior is very nice and the food is so-so , I guess it might have to be a little bland to keep the old timers that used to hang there happy.. I'm sure they don't want to lose their old customers.

Thanks, I'll look for it. I have some awareness of the owners, who definitely have a commitment to the Island.
