Massa's Seafood Grill

Family owned and operated seafood restaurant with a South Coast twist.

The Park Shops garage takes you to the first-floor lobby of the restaurant. Enter the garage from Caroline or Austin streets. Massa's validates.

It's popular for company parties and conventions (the dining room holds up to 150 people). Call ahead during the holidays to confirm dining hours.

Located near the George R. Brown Convention Center, this Massa family restaurant highlights Gulf Coast, Southern Creole fare. Appetizers include bacon-wrapped quail and South Coast crab cakes, while entrées range from pecan-crusted rainbow trout to a char-grilled chicken breast with Creole seasoning. Note: The former Massa's Seafood Grill was rebranded as Massa’s South Coast Grill.

Set in the heart of downtown Massa's Seafood Grill attracts primarily members of the business class and theater patrons. The mixed seafood appetizer is a great way to start your meal. Menu selections are expensive, but items like the Chilean swordfish with yogurt mint sauce and fruit chutney are well worth the price. Top it off with a homey dessert such as coconut cream pie.
