Shearn’s Seafood and Prime Steaks is the premier destination for fine dining in Galveston. The restaurant features floor-to-ceiling views of the Gulf waters. Shearn’s is one of only 11 Houston/Galveston area restaurants to receive AAA’s Four Diamond Award of Excellence, and it has won it each year since 2004. Executive Chef Felipe Gonzalez crafts his signature Gulf dishes, including his Shrimp Dejong and Lobster Bisque. Shearn’s Lounge, the bar outside the restaurant, has spectacular views of the Moody Gardens Pyramids and sunsets over Galveston Bay.
