    French fries falling off the plate with barely any ketchup
    Jacqueline T.

    A local friend highly recommended this place. Was visiting from out of town and needed to get dinner before heading back on the road. To be clear - when I looked up restaurant I thought we were going to Katz21 (not the bar 21 attached.) Regardless...it is affiliated and should have some level of continuity. Perhaps we just caught them on a bad day....but had a very unpleasant experience. For reference, we were one of the first and only tables on a weekday. Service : Was extremely slow, had to ask twice for everything including ketchup, refill, bill etc. Menu: The bar menu was extremely limited and as a pescatarian there were no options. The bar is attached to the main dining & kitchen and asked if they could do a grilled cheese. The answer was a hard no. In hindsight I should have ordered 'To-Go' from main restaurant and brought to bar..or at least given that option. My friend ordered a caesar salad (not on bar menu) which was mediocre at best. Quality: Went ahead and ordered carb bar food...nothing really stood out. The apps at a Chilis offer more pizzazz. The condiment to food ratio was silly....it took forever to get a second ketchup. The waitress seemed confused on whether they stocked Coke or Pepsi as she kept correcting our request. I don't have a preference - but what we got the first time vs. the refill was questionable... After all that, I blame myself for trying to order a cappuccino for the road. We were told they needed to "turn-on" the machine and it would be a "minute." After a very long wait...I was given a large styrofoam cup with a straw. I don't know what I was given....and don't want to know... Final Thoughts : Nothing about this place was at the level. Not one thing....

    Always love their food and expert service! and was ecstatic they were open for our anniversary the 4th of July! I hope they continue because the past few years they were closed!

    If you're wondering which fine-dining restaurant in Corpus Christi, look no further. My wife and I came to Corpus on vacation, which coincidentally was just three days before our 20th anniversary. Reservations were easy, and we were seated right away when we arrived. Our waiter, Wilfrid, was amazing. Not only did he take time to explain everything on the menu - more thoroughly than a menu ever could - but he went out of his way to ensure we didn't feel rushed while still taking excellent care of us. We ordered the Katz Meow appetizer. I'm generally not big on seafood, but if it all tasted like this I'd never eat anything else. My wife got a surf and turf special - ribeye with crab-stuffed shrimp - and it was amazing. We know steaks and we know steakhouses, and this was top-notch. I had another special - ossobuco. The veal was so tender I could cut it with a fork, and the accompanying risotto was literally the best I've ever had. Our key lime pie dessert was the perfect cap to an incredible meal, and the kitchen went the extra mile to wish us a happy anniversary in raspberry sauce. Outstanding in every way.

    I am thrilled to review this amazing eatery. It's so awesome to have another Corpus restaurant that takes reservations and is on Open Table. We went for the charcuterie and the Iberico pork and this restaurant did not disappoint! The food is absolutely incredible. Like soooooo good. Like outstanding. Like I wish they were in Austin so I could eat it all the time. SO. DARN. GOOD. It is reasonably priced, cooked to perfection, and is just the perfect portion sizes. The au gratin potatoes were positively sinful and the seafood was all fresh and well prepared. Our service was exceptional and the dining room is gorgeous. It's a great ambiance and well worth taking a trip back across the bridge to score an amazing meal.

    First off I don't even know where to start this place is phenomenal. From the staff at the front of the house till the very end of the experience. Definitely worth a bang for your buck. The restaurant manager/owner is exceptional he definitely loves his business and his wine. We were visiting Corpus Christi for a convention. And it was my fiancé's birthday so I decided to take him to a nice restaurant. When we arrived everyone was so nice. This place is so beautiful. There are two areas, one where there is a bar and outdoor enclosed patio with live music in another area that's like a dining hall really beautiful and more romantic and quiet. Also, there is a huge selection of wines with large glass to see in while looking at their selection of wines the cellar is so unique. I noticed the owner using a ladder to move back and forth. He goes out of his way to make sure his customers get the wine that they love and does very well. We also had a really beautiful sweet lady, she reminded me of my mother. As she had told us she had just started working there about three days ago and if she could listen in when the manager was explaining the wines and etc. of course we said yes. We ordered the lobster bisque soup and it was so delicious and then for our main entrée we had the ribeye with the creamy potatoes and sweet carrot. It was some of the best food I had had in a long time. Our waitress went over and beyond. She made this experience so amazing and I wish I remembered her name but I will never forget her face and our experience with her that night and the owner. They made it very unique warm, and loving. They really do take their business serious and want to please their customers. If I ever go back to Corpus Christi and I am able to spend some extra money I definitely will stop in again. This place is worth seeing and Having a meal. Also don't forget if you are a wine lover this is the place to go.

    Great feel, great food, and great service! What more can you ask for? I've always loved this place and I will say it again and again. The service is on point. They ensure their customers have your water glass filled all the time, bread basket? You got it. Crumbs on your table? They use a fancy tool to keep it clean. We went during Christmas and the decor is so cute! Of course the restaurant looks great all year long. The food is always cooked perfectly! No complaints here. And don't get me started on the cocktails. Definitely hits that spot. This round we didn't get dessert but we've had it before and you can't go wrong with anything there. We had our Christmas team dinner there and there was always someone there to serve us. Thanks for an amazing dinner! Beyond satisfied!

    I wanted to love to this location because I love Aloft's. But sadly it's been issue after issue…read moresince checking in. I'm no complainer so I said nothing up until my second night when I just couldn't take it another second. Before I even begin to discuss all of the negatives I would love to highlight the positives. The staff here is insanely helpful and nice. And really tried to accommodate me. From the moment I walked through the door I was greeted with such amazing energy. The lobby is beautifully decorated and the bar is a total vibe. They also have a great happy hour. This area is actually prefect because it's conveniently located near tons of restaurants and shopping. The hotel is clean, I could smell the cleanliness as I entered the door. The room was also clean I felt comfortable enough to walk about the room in my socks. The bathroom was spotless as well. The floor were freshly mopped. Which is a major plus for me because as stated before everyone's definition of clean isn't the same. The AC unit is obnoxiously loud. Imagine being so noisy and still not work. It didn't heat nor cool the room and refused to go off. Talking about barely getting rest and I am in town for a work trip go figure. But the front desk staff did offer to switch my room but I only had one more night so I didn't want to waste a room. The water pressure in the sink is extremely low. The toilet has to be flushed twice to get it to do anything remotely close actually flushing. The mattress is hard as a rock and the pillows went completely flat once I rested my head upon one. The parking is limited for such a large hotel but it didn't really seem to affect my stay. But on a holiday or busy weekend I can see how that can be a problem.

    I returned to Corpus Christi for a wedding and it happened to be at this venue. This is from a…read moreguest perspective, so keep it in mind, plus I'm Houston bound. I know others might argue, this is a 3 star, especially with the beautiful over the top reception places in Houston, but this place makes perfect sense for Corpus Christi. It's simple, chic, and best of all the packages are affordable. (I went to see how much events cost there. I feel my Houston wedding which was beautiful and 5 stars all the way, cost like a jillion dollars compared to their prices and my event venue wasn't on the crazy expensive side either.) The venue allowed family to do a very traditional old school, Mexican style wedding, with them cooking for all the guests and helping with serving. There were staffers there, who were mainly in charge of clean up and making sure the bride/groom had what they needed. I assume having the staff serve costs more, but seeing that traditional old school style wedding to me was great. Bathrooms were large and clean. Dance space was a tad on the smaller size, but nothing that could prevent a party. Decoration space is basically dependent on how you decorate your wedding. It can be a chic wedding, a traditional one, or something else entirely. Look if you're in Corpus and you're on a budget come here. The bride that had her wedding here was in the Houston area, so they do work with out of town brides too. It's a space for mid sized weddings, so if you need 300 plus, you may need to look elsewhere. With this economy, definitely give this place a shot. You need a wedding, not spend money on a down payment to a 400K house. Go tour it. You'll notice it's simple, but with a keen decorating eye you can make this space be yours, which is great for a girl on a budget.
