We had a white and a nice red wine with our meal. For the main my husband and dad both had the seafood pasta which they loved. And they finished it all. They gave their dish a 5. My mom had the salmon pasta which was good. She wanted more of white sauce with it. For my dish of the pasta al forno. It had some hard bits in it. And we were disappointed that there wasn't bread for the table to share. And also we wanted Parmesan cheese for our pasta dishes. And the waitress brought one brought side cup full of parm cheese for us to share. So we had to ask for more. Service was great and friendly and the atmosphere is prefect for a date night. The desserts were amazing! Every loved there desserts we had three tiramisus. And my mom had the pistachio cake and that was very yummy. We definitely we will be back.

I am amazed and pleased that Corsicana has a place like it! Gourmet food, fine wines, and an intimate setting are the offerings they bring and anyone should be fortunate to be able to partake in this place. I was REALLY glad that we had decided to stay through dinner and even more glad they were able to accommodate us without reservations. Ideally I would say reservations are a good idea because seats are limited. My recommendation: The Filet! Also leave room for dessert!

She has been here a few times and the young lady server working tonight recognized her immediately and gave her a warm greeting and hug. Our server Andrew was so professional and knowledgeable about the menu, he took excellent care of us, didn't mind us visiting, and had wonderful timing as we lingered over the menu and took awhile to decide. Mom and hubs both ordered the Filet, as it's listed it came with Bleu Cheese, neither of them are a fan, so they both asked to remove it, mom traded her asparagus for green beans, and hubs kept his as the chef had created it. Both of them raved about the temperature being perfect, the meat was tender and flavorful. I had the New York Strip that came with green beans and the truffle mashed potatoes. Everything was amazing! My steak was cooked a little past medium, closer to medium well, but it had no ill effect whatsoever, it was tender enough I believe I could have cut it with my fork, the mashed potatoes were silky and so flavorful, perfectly seasoned, and topped with melted butter. The green beans were cooked perfectly, fresh, but also tender, exactly how I like them. 10/10 Will visit again when I'm in Corsicana. This would be an amazing place for a special date night, or to impress clients you might be doing business with, I'd even recommend this Bistro for a rehearsal dinner, or special anniversary. If you want to impress someone, make sure to spend an evening at Across the Street Bistro by Andreas!

Our son is attending college at Navarro, while his girlfriend lives in Hawaii, and she flew all the way out to Texas just to spend their anniversary with him. My husband and I wanted to treat them to a special dinner, so this wasn't just another night out for us. First, I will say the location is BEAUTIFUL. The drive out there was gorgeous, and being right on the water made us even more excited about dinner. We completely understood that it was a busy holiday weekend. My husband called ahead, and the hostess was kind enough to get us a 6:00 PM reservation. We ended up arriving about 15 minutes late, and despite how packed they were, she was very gracious and seated us immediately. We truly appreciated that. Unfortunately, that's where the good customer service pretty much ended. We sat for almost 25 minutes before our waitress was even able to take our drink order. She was very sweet and apologized, and because we could already see how overwhelmed they were, we tried to be understanding. At that point I told my husband, "Let's just order our food now too because we're probably going to be waiting awhile." Thank goodness we did. Our waitress told us she would bring dinner rolls. More than 30 minutes passed... no rolls. We eventually had to ask for them ourselves. We kept watching more people being seated, especially outside, while we continued to wait...and wait...and wait. Eventually we went outside to take pictures by the water because our food was nowhere in sight. By then, we had been waiting around an hour and 15 minutes. My husband was beyond frustrated and ready to leave, but we had driven about 25 minutes to get there and the kids were STARVING. When he finally asked how much longer our food would take, we were told, "Oh, it's ready." It wasn't. Our food finally arrived around the 1 HOUR AND 30 MINUTE mark. On top of that, they had run out of the large pizza we ordered and offered us two small pizzas instead. I assumed "small" would still be a reasonable size. Nope. They were basically personal-pan sized--and for what we paid, that was another disappointment. Now, I will absolutely give credit where it's due: when our main dishes FINALLY arrived, the food was delicious. We enjoyed what we ordered. But good food doesn't erase an hour-and-a-half wait with very little communication or attention. When we asked for more rolls, we were told they had run out. By the time everything was said and done, we looked around and realized we were literally the LAST TABLE being served and the last customers leaving. The owners appeared to be at the bar, yet no one came over to acknowledge what had happened, apologize for the excessive wait, or even offer to adjust anything on our bill. And THAT is what bothered me the most!! I understand restaurants get busy. I understand holiday weekends can be crazy. I understand kitchens get backed up and things run out. What I don't understand is continuing to seat customers when your staff and kitchen are already overwhelmed, while customers who have been waiting well over an hour are left wondering when--or IF--their food is coming. Sometimes customer service is simply saying, "We are really sorry. We dropped the ball tonight. What can we do to make this right?" We never got that. I honestly wish I had read some of the reviews before my husband booked our dinner here. The Harbor is absolutely beautiful, and if you want somewhere to enjoy the scenery and take gorgeous pictures by the water, the location delivers. But would I drive 25 minutes back to have dinner there again? Unfortunately, NO. This was supposed to be a special anniversary dinner for two young people we love, and instead most of the evening was spent hungry, waiting, frustrated, and wondering where our food was. Beautiful view. Delicious food once it finally arrived. But the overall experience and customer service left us extremely disappointed. And for us, a beautiful view just isn't enough to make up for that.

The basket of chips that came with the Tex-Mex was extra large, and the chips were nice and fresh, hot like they were just made.
