Hotel food usually isn't something I usually enjoy eat but I was hungry so I tried this one for a light dinner. the grilled chicken ceaser wrap was a solid yummy so I went back for the BYO quesadilla for breakfast. Both times the food was really good, the kitchen was fast, service was friendly. And the views were great. Highly recommend!!! read more

Ordered the bacon cheese burger with no bun. It was $13. It came with fries which I just had to resist lol . It wasn't too busy. They took my order and had my drink at my table in just a few minutes. Excellent view of Corpus Christi bay and the USS Lexington on one side. Also it's adjacent to the ship channel so you can watch the ships come in. My burger was very good and I had an enjoyable dinner. read more

The bartender Joey is great!!! He's friendly and even creates custom off menu drinks! Thie blueberry vodka drink he came up with tonight was so yummy that it could be dangerous!! The food here is excellent. Much better than you'd expect from a hotel restaurant. The Cajun pasta with shrimp is the best of this dish that I've ever had anywhere!! And the view is really nice too. read more

Food sub par for ratings from other guest. Cold and of poor quality for price. Sadly minimal options in area.

Went there last night (Saturday) and they had live music. I nice gentleman playing the saxophone . The food menu was nice; but there was way to much seafood on that menu for me. It's an oceanfront restaurant, so that is to be expected but it was to much of a risk for me. It took them a while to even great us. The waitress was nice, but I was so shocked that they don't have a drink menu. It's a "bar" and grill, so one would assume that they would have a drink menu or drink recommendations; nope, nada, nothing. We were told that the drink menu was being updated. I had a mango margarita and my husband had an old fashioned. Honestly, the Margarita wasn't that great and my husband wasn't impressed with the old fashioned. Just wasn't a winner for us. Some of the menu items did sound delicious, but we decided not to order any food with those prices. read more

Worse experience ever! Joe didn't want to brew any tea for us. He said, "I guess I'll have to make some." I guess we were totally being needy for asking for something to drink. Also, it was an inconvenience to get yellow sweetener. He went to another table to bring me 2 packets. I guess Joe felt rationing was in order. I intended to have more than one glass. He asked if we wanted to eat? We had to wait for him to bring menus for about 10 minutes. If I had known I was going to inconvenience him so much, I would have never bothered to go there. After getting menues, we continued to wait -again. My mom had to wave him down to get his attention to let us order. We ordered and I asked for ice for my hot brewed tea. The bartender ended up bringing me a new glass of ice with tea. Joe nevered returned with tea. Again, we waited. Dinner arrived. We at, with empty glasses again. My mom finally got the bartender's attention to get us drinks. After Joe spent a extremely lengthy time at the pool area- there wasn't anyone at the pool other than Joe. My mom waved Joe down again so my darling friend could ask for desert. You could literally see the disdain on Joe's face at the mere thought of us ordering anything else. When we ordered, it was an instant "we don't have any of that." Then he followed "it's frozen." This was the point of no return for me- I asked Joe if he was having a horrible day. He smiled and laughed at me. I then proceeded to say, I'm serious because you are being a horrible waiter." he continued to laugh at me. I began to text the Hilton rewards number and then realized the absolute disrespect I was receiving from this man. Perhaps my gender or just face was annoying him. I have never experienced this level of disrespect from anyone in the service industry. Avoid Joe at read more

The restaurant and bar staff were absolutely amazing. Everyone was nice, and friendly. Food was so good to say the least, especially for one being picky about Hotel food.... lol. Check out Xaria at the bar, she was so nice and attentive. read more

Long review... TLDR My family members and I stayed here over memorial day weekend. The hotel itself was nice. Rooms were nice and comfy and being bayfront was also convenient. Our other family members enjoyed themselves, including two little kids, and cookies were also delicious. The only thing I didn't like was that the water pressure seemed to get less and less the longer you shower. Same with the sink. I was brushing my teeth and noticed the water pressure getting less and less. Don't know what that issue was about but my SIL mentioned that if you turn off the water and turn it back on, it'll get back to normal. When it comes to their in-house restaurant, I'm not exactly sure what went wrong but they seemed to struggle with that part. For one thing, my BIL wanted to go down by himself first to have some coffee, was seated by the window overlooking the bay but was seemingly ignored as no one came around to get his order so he left and went back up to his room. About maybe an hour or so later, we all decided to go down as a family to get some breakfast, was seated by the bar area but was again ignored until a waitress came by to attempt to give us some menus. Qr codes were posted on the table so we were able to scan them and didn't need menus which is what we told our waitress but instead of asking if we were ready to order, she walked off. We felt ignored because our waitress never came back around to take our order. They were busy and short staffed though so I thought "ok, maybe she's just a little overwhelmed right now and have other tables to take care of. She'll come to us when she's free" but she never did. Instead, she went around to other tables including the tables behind the bar to ask for their order or to see if they needed refills but never stopped by our table again. She even had time to stop by the bar to ring up a customer or to serve drinks but again, she never bothered to stop by our table again. When she stopped by the table next to us, we thought "ok, we're next" but nope. She walked off again. She never even made eye contact with us. She walked everywhere but never bothered to stop at our table again after attempting to drop off menus for us. At this point, my niece and nephew, who are 6 and 4 (so, little kids), were starving and you know how little kids can be when they're hungry. We waited patiently for about an hour before we finally flagged someone (another waitress/server) down to take our order. She came over, apologized for the wait and told us that their head chef was rushed to the hospital late last night so they're a little behind. We were understanding but it still should not have to take that long to place our freaking orders. If the head chef is out, shouldn't they still have the sous chef and another backup chef to handle the cooking? After placing our order, we got our drinks but it was another hour wait for the food to come out but by that point, I had already gone up back to my room (to get my charging bank because my phone was running low and because I was tired of waiting because I had started doubting that our food was being made) so my husband packed up my food for me. My family members described their food as cold and sad looking so don't think I was missing out on anything. My husband & BIL said mine was the only thing that looked decent. After this experience, maybe we'll go elsewhere for food next time if we decide to stay at this location again so we don't have to wait 2 hours for food. It also shouldn't have to take an hour to flag someone down. We were also told that they were suppose to set up for breakfast buffet but no one did and they needed to do training for the summer and this was just a taste of what it'll be like. I'm not sure what to say about that part but I was disappointed with this dining experience. Before the bad dining experience, we planned to head to an actual beach for a bit then go back to the hotel, get cleaned up and check out but because the food took so long to come out, that time was taken away from us so we had to check out first then head to the beach. All in all, Idk if it was the holiday rush that made them struggle but none of us had a pleasant dining experience. When my BIL went back up to his room at some point during our 2 hour wait to use the restroom, he overheard a family in the elevator saying they waited 1.5 hours for their food and that they had left hungry because they were fed up with the experience as well. I also thought of doing that but didn't want to be rude. If someone had done that to me, I wouldn't like it. read more

The cook didn't show up on time for work. We ordered right when they opened but everyone was served before us. As a restaurant owner myself that was frustrating to see literally everyone served but we were not when we were the 1st to order. They served 7 tables before us. Bad bad bad service. We also paid and still had not been served. They can take the money and not give us food? What the heck- never coming again. read more

Terrible service. Stood and waited to be seated but never greeted. Waiter walked past me and looked at me several times as well. Next day, I attempted to order food to my room and it never arrived. Stay clear read more
