Outside crunch was a good thickness and the inside flavor was moist and yummy. It came with a homemade remoulade that was the perfect accompaniment. For dinner I had the Crab Crusted Redfish. The crab was mild, the redfish was cooked perfect with a thin line of crisp edges. The risotto was very thick, the consistency of stiff mashed potatoes. Our server was polite and knowledgeable. I will definitely be going back to try more dishes!

I visited and sat at the bar for a late afternoon snack/drink. I immediately spotted the drink I…read morewanted, the crown and cutless which reminds me of a painkiller but with banana liquor and added grenadine. I had originally tried to come here for dinner the previous night and sort of glad I didn't bring my big group here as their prices are a little high with a big group and the wait was crazy long that night anyway. Entree prices range from 28-62 for most items, unless you order basic fried seafood or their pasta dish. I did grab some oysters while I was here. The bartender indicated they were farm-raised from Port Aransas and similar in size as east coast oysters, which I prefer over Gulf oysters. The oysters ended up being very good and clean, but they are definitely briny. The oysters are served with just cocktail and horseradish...nothing special. Their lemon is covered with a net to capture the seed, which is a common feature at nicer restaurants. They also open your Tabasco bottle for you. I enjoyed my cocktail, but it is something I have made at home, so it wasn't anything too special for me.

We called ahead to reserve (put our name on the list) but when we arrived we were told to wait…read moreoutside on the porch with no shade or water. It was extremely hot at 9:30 am (Texas heat) and we were sweating profusely after 10 minutes or so and stepped inside to wait since we were told we were next when we arrived. We were then told to go back outside. When we asked why we couldn't stand inside by the wall, we were told it was a fire lane, even though we weren't blocking the entrance. After waiting outside, again, we were finally seated, but before we could even order, we were told to leave and refused service. Tiffany, the manager, and Rita handled the situation very unprofessionally. This was one of the worst customer service experiences we've ever had. If guests are expected to wait outside in the heat, at the very least provide shade or water. We were shocked by how we were treated. Do not recommend.

The waitresses saw us but did nothing to help. We waited at the hostess stand for 5 minutes as a long line built up behind us before we were finally seated. Then our waitress was nice but just didn't really care. We ordered a Mexican martini and they didn't have the shaker and glass for it so they just brought it in a regular glass - the waitress said "we don't have the stuff". So it got super warm while we were drinking it. Only checked on once and took forever to come get our card to pay. Peach colada: 5 stars - delicious. Food: 3 stars. Just ok. Some highlights (bread on sandwiches and the fries are really good).

They offer perfect view of marina for those seating inside or on the patio area. Food and drinks: Very good food choices on the menu. We specifically enjoyed and recommend seafood. The Cajun Redfish was cooked perfectly. It was moist, flaky and was seasoned very well too. The gumbo that was part of the dish had great consistency and flavours. The mahi mahi dish with gnocchi was nicely presented and tasted great. The restaurant offers good selection of alcoholic and nonalcoholic beverages.

They also make great cocktails. My favorite dish is the shrimp alfredo, it's so good and I end up ordering it almost every time.

The restaurant is always clean, and there's plenty of parking, which makes things easier in a busy area. Definitely a place we keep coming back to.
