After dining there I completely understand why. The view overlooking the lake was stunning, the food was divine and the service felt relaxed, easy, and welcoming. Our server felt less like staff and more like an extension of our family. We all enjoyed our food and the wine we paired with it. Dessert was great as well. Mother's Day was a hit. I'm glad we chose this place. And, thanks to Eric our overall experience was exactly what we expected.

I had the seafood pasta and loved it, while my fiancé got the chicken Caesar salad, which was delicious and had such a unique presentation. I also got the coconut margarita, and it was SO good, especially if you like sweeter drinks! SERVICE: Our server was amazing, and I wish I remembered his name! They seemed a little short-staffed and were pretty busy, but everything was handled really well. We also didn't have a reservation, and they were able to seat us right away, which was a huge plus! AMBIANCE: The restaurant was very clean, upscale, and had a bougie feel that made it perfect for a date night. The atmosphere felt elevated without being too formal, and we really enjoyed the overall vibe!

They're located in downtown Galveston in a part of town that was once a red light district. Their menu is "beach drinks". That's the vibe. You can get anything from a Negroni or Old Fashioned to a Highball, French 75 and everything in between. I live for that frozen strawberry daiquiri though. The cocktail menu is extensive! Did you know they have a speakeasy tiki bar too? Funky, beachy, tiki vibe decor. Great employees. It's The Pineapple Parlor and primo! See my review on it.

We were promptly greeted by the hostess and initially seated in an area where there were quite a few bugs. Thankfully, they quickly accommodated us by moving us to a better table. The food was delicious and full of flavor. The ambiance was lovely, and the décor created a warm, inviting atmosphere. Although I can't quite put my finger on it, I felt like something was missing to make the experience truly memorable. Overall, it was a very enjoyable meal, and I'd recommend it if you're looking for a charming spot to dine in Galveston.

Hung out here on Saturday and there's been much improvement in the service, hence the star upgrade…read more I think we had about three different cocktail waitresses serve us during our stay - which lasted well past sunset. They were all speedy and friendly, helpful when it came to selecting cocktails and food. Chocolate martinis are still delicious, as are the fruity frou-frou drinks - but not that strong. And each time I got bubbly or a mimosa, it was warm. I still drank it, but meh. Drinks are still more than you'd want to pay for a not-so-stiff drink, but what hotel bar isn't pricey? I spent probs more than $100 just on myself, so I rec just buying a bottle. You have to have a wristband to access the pool and get towel service; not sure how to get a band if you're not staying at the hotel. I guess you could always rent a cabana. Which are pretty pimp. Flat screen TV, couches, fresh fruit, bottled water and of course, poolside view and VIP service. Cabanas sell out fast, so book early (weeks ahead, not days) if you're gonna drop in on a weekend. The crowd here is an even mix of families, hotties and regular Joes, which I like. I did, however, notice a lot of hot moms with their kiddos. Great idea for those moms looking for a quick getaway that can entertain both adults and youngsters. Potties: Please use them. Don't go in the pool. As added persuasion, the restroom inside the main lobby has a tub of fragrant salt scrub that's complimentary. They also have foot showers, a mojito bar, wet bar, hot tub, kiddie slide with a grotto. There's a no-smoking rule here. I'm not a smoker, but I wanted to enjoy my Hight Cigar and feel all baller like. Ah well, I'll save it for another day.

The place had a lively, cozy vibe that fit the day perfectly. I ordered a unique craft beer from Charleston, SC, which was such a cool find on tap in Galveston. My family tried the boozy hot chocolate, wine, and a couple of drinks from their solid coffee selection. The staff was friendly and kept things moving smoothly even with the festival crowd. The reason for 4 stars instead of 5--is the limited snack options. It would've been nice to pair the drinks with a few more bites, especially during such a busy event. Overall, though, Proletariat is definitely worth a stop if you're exploring the Strand. Great drinks, great vibe, and a perfect little retreat during Dickens on the Strand.
