    Craving oysters? This place is for you! My husband & I…read morevisited this restaurant during lunch time & it was amazing. The atmosphere was nice & chill, it's very modern. As soon as you get seated they bring a paper to let you choose what oysters you want , with a description of where they come from. Our server was kind enough to explain to us the taste of each oyster & told us to go check the oyster bar where the chefs will crack it open so you know it's nice & fresh! Hubs got 1 Momma Mia oyster that was served with lemon & other types of sauces to dip it in. You can also order as many as you want since they are sold by the piece. I had a chicken sandwich that was crispy & just delicious! fyi the chicken sandwich is huge; you probably will have leftovers for later:) Our experience was great & we will definitely come back to try other dishes from Captain's Cove Oyster Bar!

    After looking at photos and videos on Captain's Oyster Cove's Facebook page and seeing how other…read moreguests were served, I'm even more disappointed with our experience. We made a reservation for two and specifically requested the best available table for the sunset. When we arrived, our table wasn't ready, and we were asked to choose between two less desirable tables inside. Our reservation was at 7:45 p.m. It took over 15 minutes just to receive our first drinks and another 15 minutes before our order was taken. We ordered both appetizers and entrées together because service was already moving so slowly. While we waited, we watched a party of five, a party of three, and another party of two seated around us. All three tables received their food before we did, despite arriving after us. We waited approximately an hour for our food. The presentation was also disappointing. I ordered the espresso martini, but unlike the drinks featured on their Facebook page and in customer photos, mine wasn't garnished with the toasted marshmallow that appears to be part of their signature presentation. The mussels and the seafood enchiladas suizas also looked nothing like the beautifully plated dishes shown in their advertising. Several of the mussel shells were empty, making the appetizer feel incomplete. When our food finally arrived, it felt rushed. The fish tacos and seafood enchiladas suizas were underwhelming and did not justify the long wait. Our server was polite and apologized several times, explaining that the delays were coming from the kitchen. Unfortunately, the manager handled the situation very differently. Instead of acknowledging our concerns, he argued with us and made excuses for the delays. When we asked for a refund because of the overall experience, our plates were immediately cleared from the table, and the manager never returned to speak with us again. We chose Captain's Oyster Cove because of its reputation and wanted to enjoy a special sunset dinner, but the combination of poor service, inconsistent food presentation, long kitchen delays, and dismissive management made this one of the most disappointing dining experiences we've had on South Padre Island. We won't be returning.
