Had no idea exactly how it worked or much else other than online recommendations and food photos along with the information. We truly enjoyed it. Great use of space. A true island and luxury vibe. Great food prepared amazingly well. We will go back. It's not kid friendly and no pets. But if you want a one of a kind unique and perfect evening dining experience, do yourself a favor and go!!

We ended up having the honey crab and king crab. I'd never had honey crab before and thought it was OK, my wife really enjoyed it. Not quite as sweet as our king crab (which was out of this world) and the texture was closer to Dungeness crab. Pros-the crab was delicious and the portions were spot on. The shrimp were the biggest I've ever seen and the homemade cocktail sauce was zesty and delicious. The limited bar top was intimate. We really enjoyed our server/bartender. The hot wet towel at the end was lovely. And the butter was very unique! Garlicy and mushroomy, very umami-very amazing! Cons-you really only have an hour to order, have your food prepared, and finish eating. We felt very rushed considering we had to crack everything before we ate it. We got lucky and were able to stay a bit longer before the next group came in, but we didn't have time for dessert and that was disappointing. The froze was not worth it, we didn't have time to drink it and it tasted like a frozen limeade more than a froze. The entrees don't come with sides. Not that we would have had time to eat them, but it would have been nice for the price point. $60 and $100 per crab entree a pound each.

They definitely charge you full price, and then they treat you like garbage. Now I know that y'all have a hard time getting good workers and Port aransas, but I've run three restaurants in two grocery stores and know all about customer service. And this lady needs to be fired , with the attitude she had she wouldn't even have got the job in the first place. She overcharged me for my two beers , and keep in mind domesticated beers that were supposed to be on happy hour price. I was charged $9.50 for two beers that were supposed to be on happy hour. And then when I had questions about it , I got talked to like I was a dog. Like I said the old lady, who work Thursday April 25th, the only bartender that was behind the bar , at 4:00 p.m. , I live in houston, but I work in Port Aransas Monday through Friday , and we go to all the bars around there a lot . And this is the first time I've ever been treated this way by bars made .

After searching for what felt like forever to find a highly recommended spot -- even Port A Escapes…read morelisted this place as a must‑try -- we decided to give it a shot. I've traveled all over the world and up and down the U.S. coastline, and I understand beach‑town dining can be hit or miss. But this experience left us genuinely confused about the glowing reviews. We walked into a tiny establishment where the bar was fully staffed and drinks were flowing, yet we couldn't even get served food. Alcohol seemed ready to go, but the kitchen was moving at a pace that made no sense. We were told food would take over an hour. For a place this small, that's baffling. It made me wonder if the rave reviews were written through "vacation goggles" -- sunburned, tired, or a few drinks in -- because from our sober perspective, nothing about the service or setup matched the hype. Maybe the "excellent" part of the name refers strictly to the bar, because the grill definitely felt off‑duty. We ended up leaving without ever getting food. Not the experience we were hoping for.

They also had a live band playing. They were just okay, but still fit the laid-back beach atmosphere well. Be prepared for crowds though. It was very busy, and the lines to order were pretty long.

The pretzel and cheese were good. Now the downsides. It was full outside and there is no table service, so took about 25 minutes to get a drink. That should never happen, but only one bartender for over 100 people will cause that. He was good, but the cards were stacked against him.

Only the bar area was packed with people sitting around and casually drinking, which gave it a lively but laid-back vibe. They also had a few available billiard tables that you could play. Overall, a quiet Tuesday for the first wave of a Spring Break Week.
