Terms of use
A recommendation,
not a reservation desk.
Effective July 22, 2026. These terms describe how to use this independent local dining guide.
The Ninth Floor is a personal dining guide. It is not the official website of Shearn’s Seafood & Prime Steaks, Moody Gardens, Resy, or any other business referenced here. Our recommendations reflect personal local perspective for people looking for a special Galveston dining suggestion.
Purpose of the guide
The Ninth Floor offers personal editorial perspective for visitors and locals looking for a Galveston dining recommendation. The site is designed to help someone decide whether a dinner experience may fit the occasion they have in mind. It is not the official website, booking desk, representative, or agent of any restaurant, hotel, reservation platform, or business mentioned here.
Personal views and local recommendations
Descriptions, selections, and opinions on this site reflect personal views and are offered as a local recommendation. Dining experiences are subjective, and menus, prices, hours, dress expectations, availability, views, and service can change. You should confirm the details most important to you directly with the restaurant or applicable service provider before making plans.
Third-party websites and reservations
Links to official restaurant pages, map listings, reservation platforms, and other third-party services are provided for convenience. Selecting one of those links may take you to a separate service governed by its own terms, policies, availability, and booking requirements. We do not control those services and cannot guarantee reservations, pricing, menu availability, or third-party content.
No endorsement or affiliation implied
A reference to a company, location, product, menu item, or service does not imply that the company endorses this guide or that this guide represents the company. Unless we expressly state otherwise, a mention is simply part of our independent view for people seeking a local recommendation.
Acceptable use
You may use the guide for personal, non-commercial planning and sharing. Please do not copy substantial portions of the text, imagery, branding, or layout for commercial use, misrepresent the guide as an official restaurant source, interfere with the site, or use the site in a way that violates applicable law or the rights of others.
Content availability
We aim to keep the guide useful and current, but do not promise that every page, link, image, or reference will always be accurate, complete, uninterrupted, or available. The site may be changed, updated, or removed without notice.
Questions about these terms
These terms are intended as a plain-language explanation of this independent guide. They are not legal advice. If you operate a business, provide personal information, or have a question about your rights or obligations, please consult the official provider or a qualified attorney as appropriate.
