   Visiting from out of town and had a great time here!! The deviled eggs were a bit salty and the Philly cheesesteak egg rolls were just ok. Although there was more to be desired from the apps they made up for it in amazing cocktails and yummy entrees!! I definitely recommend Hearsay for your next night out, the crab crusted redfish and the shrimp and grits were delicious!!

   Our waitress was absolutely amazing. She was very attentive and super sweet. We expressed to her that we were on a time crunch and she was able to get our food to us as soon as possible. The food was absolutely delicious. Definitely enjoyed our brunch there.

   When making the reservation, i added it was for a special occasion, my wife's birthday. But no special accommodations or attention was made regarding this. Why ask if nothing is to be done.

   Great food, excellent ambiance, service a little slow when restaurant not too busy. We had dinner Saturday evening, and were generally pleased. Best part, we had after dinner coffee on the patio/sidewalk, very nice, could sit and listen to love music from neighboring bars, loved that!

   Service was terrible, waited for about 30 minutes for a drink order to be taken, over an hour for our food to arrive, over 15 minutes for silverware once our food arrived and our server did it know the menu well. We will not be back!

    My table ordered the filet and a hamburger and both did not have any flavor. The quality of the food was not bad, however if you are looking for a place to eat with extremely bland food then this is the place for you.

    For my husband birthday I took him to Hearsay. This was one of our favorite restaurants and I spoke highly of them. We haven’t been over a month and since then I don’t know what happened. We walked in and was standing at the front for 5 minutes before I went to the bar where the workers was gathered and talking. We get seated order drinks and appetizers. The Whitney was horrible the normal (male)bartender was not there. The appetizers(bread basket and clam chowder) was the only thing that was good. When the entrees came out my husband steak was burnt and it was suppose to be medium, the Brussels sprouts was old and sitting, the salad was old lettuce not fresh, the Mac was bland no flavor at all. I’m not the one to complain but this was a special occasion and it was horrible. The manager comped the steak and salad. With tip we still paid 66.96 for our horrible experience. Another place scratched off our list.

    The buffet was at the end of the service so the selection was not very good and the prime rib was undercooked. Overall not a good meal. Will not attend any buffet at the Hearsay again. Both my wife and I were sick after with bad stomach issues

    I would have liked to know that it was going to be a buffet before i made the reservations and drove down to Galveston as i don’t do buffets. I also don’t think the buffet was worth $50/person.

    We were very disappointed with the Mothers day Brunch. We have been to the other locations which are fabulous, but this one mssed the mark. We were not greeted warmly, especially since it was a pricey Mothers Day Brunch. I made the reservation for outside, but when they took us to our seats, they would not open the umbrella. Well, their patio is in full sun and it was 94 degrees outside and no breeze at that time. So they were able to seat us inside, in more of a party room with no ambiance at all compared to the rest of the restaurant. Service was poor, we were never checked on during our meal for water refills, remove our plates, or any other type of order. Finally had to flag someone down to ask for check. The buffet omelet maker was very nice, but that was about it. The food was "meh" for $55. not much of a selection and not even a roll or any bread. I will not be back to this location.

    The food was really really good (although one side dish, the Brussels sprouts) came out sort of lukewarm. Unfortunately the service was painfully slow, our appetizer and especially the main course. We probably waited 45 minutes between the appetizer and mains. They appeared to be short staffed, which we felt some sympathy for in this difficult labor market.

    We almost always enjoy dining at Hearsay and appreciate their standing behind Ukraine. We enjoyed our most recent visit. Our server was from Ukraine and spent a lot of time with us. My only complaint was that for the money, my first beverage was too small for the money and the sweet and sour in my whiskey sour, was only sour. Had to send it back. Love the food.

    The service was excellent! My food was great. (Tuna, Avocado Salad). But, my husband was very disappointed in his meal. He had the chicken fried steak and it was cremated. It has a very bad burnt flavor—it should not have been served. Way too much breading and way over done. The waitress did the right thing and refunded us for his meal. We will be back to try again.

    Menu items were not available. Appetizers overpriced for quantity of good. What items available were extremely slow to come out of kitchen. Took us two hours to get main course. Crab crusted redfish was extremely salty. This was my second visit. Early brunch was much better than Saturday evening.

    We enjoyed the ambiance and the people working were very attentive. The restaurant could be spruced up a little as it looks aged in some places.. like the old couches in the hall by the bathroom? I did love the lighting deco.. top notch! As for the food, it was very good! The salmon and prime rib and ham were awesome! The chicken was eh, and the only other thing would be more items on the buffet in general. More unique over the top items for the price, for example the veges were just same old same old green beans and asparagus.. The cheesecake was super creamy and sooo good! The brownie were abit dry. They needed a whipped topping. Or icing. Also the mimosa pitcher was a good deal for $12! We loved them:) I would come back though, because the food was good!

    Wonderful food and ambiance! Initially we were sat downstairs near the loud bar area, but after speaking with the lovely floor manager, we were able to get an intimate table upstairs. My crab crusted redfish and my husband's ribeye were amazing! Will return!

    This was our first experience at Hearsay and it was delightful. Our server, Emily was the highlight of our day. So helpful and kind. We had a party of nine and she took such great care of us. The food was good but not great. I had shrimp and grits with a creole sauce and it just lacked the spice and flavor I was looking for. Everyone else was happy with their dishes. The drinks were delicious as well. When we visit Galveston again, we will return.

    We visited and, unfortunately, we paid the price! After dining at (and loving) both Hearsay locations in Houston, the hubs and I decided on Hearsay for Sunday brunch as first-time visitors in Galveston. We just knew we’d be in good hands with the brand, and boy were we wrong. It was painful. It started off great, as I made a reservation and we were promptly seated. And, and was the end of it. We were first approached by our waitress (didn’t get her name as she was way too scarce, but she was young, with a foreign accent) after sitting for about 10 minutes. That was a rough start, but we moved forward by ordering the strawberry mimosa carafe, and asked if she would also take our food order as it took so long for her to surface for drink orders. She obliged. I ordered the steak & eggs, and the hubs ordered the Texas omelette. All good! Or so we thought. The mimosa carafe took another 15 minutes to come from the bar accompanied by no water, and then we never saw our waitress again. Not even in passing. Not even serving other tables. I have no idea where she went. After 45 minutes passed with no food arriving, we went to the bar, paid for the carafe, tipped the bartender (who apologized after seeing us waiting from across the room) and left. While leaving, at about the 50 minute mark, we passed what appeared to possibly be our food order on our way out door. It was a brutal beginning to our Galveston day trip. We dined next door at Shark Shack and appreciated the save! I’m still quite surprised by our subpar Hearsay Galveston experience. Ouch!

    Still great food! Met family from out of state for an early dinner. Cocktails were excellent as we each enjoyed our meals. The burgers were perfectly cooked, the crunchy ahi tuna tacos were a change of pace and tasty and the short ribs were tender and juicy. Our server was available and checked in throughout our dinner. Thanks to Hearsay we had a memorable and lovely evening!
