Opened in May 1999, this little bistro was selected by the Zagat Survey (America's most prestigious restaurant guide) as One of the Top 15 Restaurants in the Houston Metropolitan Area and the Top "Eclectic-International" Category. Also voted by Galveston County residents as Best Overall Restaurant in Galveston County, Best Business Lunch, and number one in Friendliest Service (Galveston County Daily News, June 2002). Remarkably, the Mosquito Cafe has been reviewed in over twenty-eight articles from Dallas/Fort Worth, San Antonio, Austin, and Houston to Lake Charles. The upscale eclectic menu has created a cult following among locals, nearby medical professionals, and visitors enticed by the originality of the grilled, roasted, sauteed, and steamed dishes and any others tired of hush puppies, po-boys, and fried shrimp combos.
