    Lunch Fish and Shrimp
    Susan B.

    So fun! We were greeted and got to choose where we wanted to sit. We picked outside with a view of the ocean and the Lexington! Very casual. Cool bar area. Nice breeze blowing so we were not hot. There is live music too! Our server was prompt and efficient with a sweet smile! GREAT prices and choices. Good kids selection for the grands! I got the fish & shrimp with cole slaw, lunch special. Perfect amount and tasty! It is very windy, in fact blew over one of the sodas. Just be aware. Worth it bc of the view!

    I was in town for Fourth of July weekend and my hotel was one block away from this restaurant so I decided to stop by. When I was there, they had live music and there is plenty of seating at the restaurant. The food was really good and the service was even better. I really enjoyed the fresh air on the patio with live music. I will definitely be back again. Do not feed the seagulls lol. Peace.

    View from outside bar top.

    If you're on beach vibes and island time then this place is great. $4 beers, reasonable app prices. Service was pretty prompt as I was sitting at the bar top. Live music on the bay with the Lexington in the background was a nice touch. Crystal and Alyssa were my bartenders and I never went without.

    Overall it was a great experience. But the ambiance was better than the food - prices were great as well.

    First - I have to say the restaurant is cool. 100%. Cool location. Cool interior. Exactly what you expect from a "beachside" restaurant in Corpis. So for that - 5 stars. Ok.. the service ... I've never heard so many "I DONT KNOW"'s from a Waitress before. Multiple times questions were asked - 1. Do tomatoes come on the Club sandwich (in the picture you couldn't see and it didn't give an explanation)? - Waitress : I DONT KNOW ... (my friends daughter who wanted to order is allergic) - so ok.. just NO TOMATOES PLEASE. 2. What kind of fish is the tacos? - Waitress: I DONT KNOW - ok.. guess we will just see. We were not trying to be complicated, just wanted to make sure we enjoyed our food and no one needed an epi pin! We ordered hush puppies for appetizer- I added coleslaw (she didn't know how much the sides were) We each had different items and the menu does look great! For sure! I ordered from the Lunch menu because I didn't want too much food. The Shrimp and fish with fries - $9.99. My daughter ordered the fish tacos - $13.99 Son bowl of Gumbo - $6.99 Two friends - 1 got the Club (minus tomatoes) -$12.99 the other got the Shrimp Alfredo- $15.99. Enjoyed breeze, watching the birds, saw a guy net fishing off the pier and another older gentleman swam like 15 laps around the USS Lexington. Food came out... Gumbo had spilled into my fries and they were soggy. Gumbo had spilled into the friends Alfredo. Fish tacos were cold. My fried fish and shrimp were dripping with oil. We're still eating because we're hungry from the 2 hour drive down from SA. Totally forgot about the "appetizers" and almost done we get the Hushpuppies - Too full to eat them. But.. ok. Again.. loved the environment, loved the vibe, our waitress seemed sweet (the CUSTOMER SERVICE VOICE AND DEMEANOR was on point) but over all.. I would come back and have a drink or two and maybe just try the peel and eat shrimp at night just for the view. As someone who works in food service - know your menu. If you don't know - find out. It wasn't busy. By any means. We were there at 3:30pm there were only 3 other tables and 4-5 other servers.

    Like most other past reviews the location is the biggest plus. On the water and great views. There is a heated section and outside section for the cold nights (or days). We walked from our hotel for dinner about 5pm. Not busy at all and servers and host waiting as we walked up. Family of 5 with three kids so heated section by the door. We ordered and app and meals - which we enjoyed. Norman burger / hamburger / kids burger and a seafood medley dish for the wife. Not one complaint about the food at all one improvement could be asking how burgers should be cooked by the server. The range of cooking for burgers was wide. Not sure if server just out what she thought we wanted or the cook cooked as they wanted it. But I'm not too picky about that. Where the service could improve was the server. Bella I think sue said. Lots of room for improvement here. Stood at the wrong end of the table to be heard first off. (Be at the end of the person ordering / paying. Presented food and asked right away how does it look (before biting into anything ). Then gone. And by gone is we never saw her until after finished awhile and present the check. She did not return to check after our first few bites. She did not return to offer refills of drinks. She did not return to clean dirty dishes and so on. Another server asked how our food was ! Understanding how a server can make or break a review and a restaurant- we only had an issue with the server and that is easy with a low tip. The location / restaurant/ food were all good for sure ! Better server would have been a 5 for sure

    Service was great! Took a little while to get greeted and our drink orders in but overall the location, area and food was worth it. I would definitely recommend!

    Fried Calamari
    Carter L.

    Positioned perfectly between the USS Lexington and the Texas State Aquarium this spot is perfect for a quick snack or stop in for a drink after visiting either attraction! We decided to try a couple different appetizers as we were not in the mood to get an entire meal. Both my S/O and I started off with a strawberry Daiquiri and the seafood queso. We were presented with the queso which was arguably the best part of our visit. The chips were not quite salty enough for our taste but no problem as the table had its own! We were unfortunately not brought out our daiquiris for 15+ minutes, however after asking our waitress she promptly brought fresh ones out. We did not have any issues with our Daquiri other than the fact that the strawberry flavor was lacking, there was a little strawberry flavor however nothing to write home about. We then decided we would try the fried calamari and the hot wings. Both came out in a timely manner and were on average for what we were expecting. For our hot wings we decided to do an ever classic buffalo. While the flavor was there the texture just did not quite do it for either of us. They did not come out soggy however they were breaded and were not as crispy as we hoped for. The tops were however I believe a couple more minutes in the fryer would make them much better. The calamari was also average. The marinara cup that were brought was small in proportion to the amount of calamari (in my opinion). There was a good mix of rings and legs in the calamari, and the breading was nice however they did not stand out to us. Overall I was not disappointed nor was I impressed, I would 100% stop in after a day at the aquarium or USS Lexington and I was hungry for some seafood. I am not sure that I would stop for much more as there are better options for meals close.

The restaurant is quite large and is on multiple levels at the top of the Omni hotel. Getting around is OK. As we were led to our table, we passed the bar, which looked like it would be an interesting spot to hang out. Our server, Brittany was very nice, competent and efficient. The cocktail menu was impressive, lots of choices. We ordered our drinks and started working on making food choices. PD enjoyed her cocktail, and I enjoyed mine. Presentation was neat. We ordered appetizers and main courses. PD had the lobster bisque which was very good and had large bits of lobster in it. I ordered the Beef Carpaccio. I was rather disappointed. Once you removed the greenery and the toasts, there was not very much actual beef. PD ordered the Redfish and I ordered the Bison Ribeye for our main courses. Hers came with accompaniments, but mine did not so I ordered Au Gratin Potatoes to go with it. She enjoyed her meal very much. My first cut on the meat was very gristly. I think I just picked the wrong end to start from. But overall, my steak was way overcooked. I ordered medium rare and got what I would call very well done. The melted butter on it didn't really help. I really should have sent it back. The Potatoes were very good, but there was just an awful lot of them. I ate about a quarter of them and took the rest home. I did have a glass of wine with my dinner, but I found the choice of wines available by the glass to be a bit light. We got a free desert (it was our anniversary) and it was perfect. Chocolate mousse was light enough to go with the heavy meal we had just finished. On the scale of fancy steak houses, we found the pricing pretty reasonable.

The sautéed onions I had added (at a fee) were undercooked and cold. They were taken off the bill. The waiter was good, kept his eye on us and was attentive. The only disappointment was they didn't recognize our momentous occasion. However, we purchased a Crème Brûlée dessert "to go" & it was good.

The…read moreplace is gorgeous on the inside and is perfect for date night, girls night out, or a family dinner. The restaurant is located in the art gallery building and there is parking located at the building. I really wanted the Bloody Mary shooter but was told that they don't sell it on its own and that it comes with the order of crab crake. But my server was amazing and made it happen. We started off with the drum nachos. That was the of the show. We enjoyed it so much. The drum was cooked to perfection and the lettuce with the cheese and the crema were delicious. We ate everything. The oysters weren't anything special. They were still attacked to the bottom of the shell so I had to attach them. The watermelon sauce they have to put on them is super good. Our next favorite thing was the red snapper. I had seen pictures on yelp and it looked blackened. When we ordered we weren't asked if we wanted blackened or fried. It came out fried which was ok but I was expecting blackened. It was still really good a tasty and we finished it all. We did order the three cheese cavatappi and that was a miss for use. We thought it was going to be creamy and it wasn't. It got hard really quick so that is something we will not be getting again. Then we ordered the shrimp 41 sandwich. Basically a shrimp po'boy. They only suggestion I would have for this is to ad more of the sauce to the sandwich and offer a side of tartar sauce to dip. We got the fries that can with tajin which tasted good but next time I would say easy on the tajin. For desert we got the bourbon glazed bread pudding. It was fantastic. Based on the yelp pictures we saw it was paired with Ice cream so we thought that's the way it came. So just letting everyone know it doesn't come with Ice cream. I was a fantastic dessert through. ww will be ordering that again when we stop by. I also ordered the lavender haze as my drink and it its presentation is beautiful and it tasted really good.

    Here's my Clint Eastwood review, The Good, The Bad, and The Disappointing…read more The Good Location, not on SPID and all that congestion. Located on Spohn right off of S Staples, really nice location. This place is huge, with a giant bar, where we like to sit and dine, with an adjacent raw/Sushi bar, very nice. The bar offers a huge selection of adult beverage makings. We were celebrating our 39th anniversary, so a restaurant of this caliber is certainly appropriate. The drinks, a Tanqueray Martini with an Orange twist for her and a Manhattan straight up with four roses bourbon for me, were perfectly sized and delicious. The restaurant boasts a large freestanding humidor with a nice selection of cigars. I also noticed a wall of personal humidor lockers for customers to keep their personal cigars available. This all suggested a cigar room, but I never saw it. The wait staff, were mostly attentive. Instead of depending on your bartenders to deliver food, I'm more accustomed to restaurants, of this caliber, to have a dedicated wait staff for bar dining patrons. Especially considering they have a large number of high top tables for dining in the bar. Friday nights, like when we were there, get pretty hectic for the bartenders. For our second drink the bartender made mistakes on both our drinks, my wife's Martini came with Olives,(I liked them) instead of the twist of orange. My Manhattan came with her twist of orange instead of the usual Luxardo cherry. Perhaps if the bartenders just bartended they wouldn't make simple mistakes. ‍ . They were very nice and brought me a shot glass with several Luxardo cherries in it. Thank you Ladies! The food. We started with appetizers. My wife got their escargot that were traditionally prepared in an escargot serving dish rich with butter, garlic and a hint of citrus. They were delicious, albeit small. My wife was happy with them. I got their Crispy Calamari Atop Stir Fried Carrots, Green Onions & Cashews with a Kung Pao Sauce. This dish, for us, was the hit of the night. The calamari, instead of the rings so commonly served, were calamari strips. They were perfectly fried and the combination of the calamari, the vegetables and that kung pao sauce was absolutely mouth watering. If you like calamari I highly recommend this dish. You won't be disappointed. Entrees. My wife got their escargot Greek style rack of Lamb with spinach. The Lamb was perfectly seasoned and served medium-rare. It was absolutely delicious. If you like Lamb this is a great dish, oh and the chops were huge! The Bad. Nothing to see here. The Disappointing. I ordered the USDA Prime Ribeye with Citrus-Braised Baby Carrots & Whipped Potatoes and a Dijon Herbal Butter. I order my steaks cooked medium-rare "Pittsburgh style". First, everyone knows what a ribeye steak looks like, it has that very distinctive shape, you can't miss it. If what they served me was a ribeye, then I'm the true Bad Bunny! When the entrees were delivered they didn't give us steak knives, we had to ask for them. Now maybe they were that confident in the tenderness of the meat that they didn't feel we needed steak knives. Or maybe, just maybe, they should be tending bar instead of delivering food. Second the menu clearly states USDA Prime Ribeye. I know what that is, and what was served me wasn't that. As I stated I order my steaks "Pittsburg style". What that means is the steak is first cooked to an internal temperature that is 5 to 10° short of medium-rare. The steak is then immersed in either melted butter or tallow and then immediately thrown on a very hot grill. This causes the grill to engulf the steak in flames charring the outside of the steak and raising the internal temperature to medium-rare. I do it all the time on my backyard grill. While my steak did have some charring, it wasn't Pittsburg style. Conclusions. Would we go back? Absolutely if for nothing else to get that crispy calamari. Would I order the steak again? Not without getting some assurances that I get a Rib Eye and they know how to cook it Pittsburg style. I guess, in the end, this has all the potential to be a high-end steakhouse, for our visit I felt they didn't meet that expectation.
