Food is amazing! We're local and love this place. Some of the best food you'll get in this part of Texas. If you don't have a great palate, don't like high quality food or trying new (amazing) flavors, this might not be the place for you. Absolutely the most underrated restaurant in town.

Great food & Live Music on Weekends!

Great food, atmosphere, and music. The meal started with the pomegranate hummus, and loved it even though I'm not a huge hummus fan at all. The green apple salad was crisp and fresh. For the main course I had the prime rib and it was amazing! The horseradish sauce is not too overpowering at all. Would definitely recommend this place, and will be back soon for date night.

Great lunch especially for a Group event. Chicken was delicious and as tender as you'd ever want it!

We only had drinks here, but they have an amazing menu of specialty drinks. A little pricey for corpus area. The bartender was very attentive. Music was amazing.

Dec 1 2019 12:01 Brunch filled me up! Very nice staff! Watch out the drinks are not bottomless. Not many vegetarian options. Dry bread. No whipped cream at the French toast station. Nice band but too loud for this guy, maybe give the drummer a plastic shield, that snare's a little hot.?

We dined Saturday 10/19/19 around 8pm. The Cajun pasta was delicious! The shrimp po boy and the fries were 100% amazing! Compliments to the chef!!! I would have to say this is one of the best meals I have had on the island. I am really wondering how any why this restaurant would get any low ratings? We plan on coming back here again. I recommend getting the bread pudding for dessert. Delicious! The service we received was top notch and the live band was awesome.

Great place for a date night or family fun. My steak was flavorful and sides were abundant. Price is what you would expect for a nice dinner.

The food was good, dinner was by far my favorite. Cody was awesome! Great service bro. Sunday brunch my "extra item" which was surf and turf. Filet was tasty but lobster was waayyyyy over cooked. Rubber. Mimosa and Bloody Mary bar is legit. Prices are $$$$

Well, well, well. You would think by walking in that this restaurant has its act together, wrong! It took around 40 minutes to even get water. Following this when we ordered our appetizer and meal, our table specifically said no or as little salt as possible. The dip we had ordered then came out at the same time as our entrees and was disgustingly over salted, (gross), as was the fish we ordered. I guess people don't realize you don't need to add very much salt to fish from the sea, terrible. The lobster tacos we ordered were equally as bad! They were in corn tortillas, totally fine, but were also filled with corn! They tasted just like a corn taco and no flavor of lobster whatsoever. It took the waitress 5 TIMES to get our bill right, she added many things we had not ordered. I rarely say this if you read my other reviews, but AVOID!!!

Slow, terrible service and 2 star food. This place is expensive too. They have a menu with fancy/gourmet style foods, which may be a little too much for south Texas. Your typical kids would not like the menu here. We came here with 3 adults and 5 teenagers (11,11,13,17 and 17). Ordered 5 appetizers (crab "fingers", mussels, scallops, island quesadillas, wings), 3 salads and 8 entrees, 2 bottles of wine. Crab "fingers" are nasty. It does not even look like crab meat and did not taste good. They were gray-brown instead of crab meat colored white. Scallops and wings (aren't on the menu) were probably the best of the appetizers, could not eat the others. Ordered island quesadillas for the kids and they did not like them at all - they all picked out the insides and just ate the tortilla. We had 4 orders of fish and chips and there was zero flavor. They were rubbery and not crispy like they should be. The fish batter had no flavoring in it, they were just soggy and rubbery. Even the teenagers would not eat the fries which came covered in dill. Salads came out with entrees instead of before. The two rose salads we ordered came with dressing on the side which turns out to be a good thing. The side Caesar salad came with way too much dressing, it was not edible. The pasta alfredo was probably the best entree according to the kids. Overall unimpressed with service here. We spent over $300 plus tips and had terrible service. We kept having to ask for drink refills, asked for lemons to go with the flavorless fish 4 times and finally got some from the bartender. They did not bring our entrees out together, they brought a few at a time then 2 people had to wait another 20 minutes for their food. We waited forever for them to bring the check, our teenagers all fidgety and ready to leave. We ended up tracking down a bartender to close us out, and they had our separate checks all wrong, which we had to fix. Our server never even came back to say good bye or thank you. I do not recommend this restaurant. Get in your car or uber to another restaurant. There are plenty better ones in the area.

Horrible service! I am pretty sure our waiter didn't give a crap about a damn thing! Took forever to get our food ... and then we sat there with no silverware for 5 mins and I finally got up and got it myself ... if your going to put a high price on your menu items.. you better have the good service to back it up... food was just ok

Went at 12 noon and were literally the ONLY patrons. That's not an exaggeration and should've been our first clue. We weren't greeted and I had to speak first to the hostess staring at us like we were bothering him. Got seated and none of us had a full menu. The 3 of us got 3 different sheets of paper that compromised an entire menu and was told they were short on menus......Anyway, we finally picked something to eat although none of the food sounded appetizing but we were starving. Our food took about 45 minutes to come out (like stated above we were the only people there) so no clue what took so long. I got the gumbo which had ONE shrimp and canned crab meat that looked like shredded chicken. I took a sip and it was warm/borderline cold. Not piping hot like gumbo should be served. I stirred it around thinking maybe just the top was cold and lo and behold, a DEAD FLY floating around in my cold gumbo. We put cash on the table to pay for our tea and we left. Not a single manager or personnel besides our waitress even attempted to apologize. We live on the island and will never return and will be telling everyone about our horrible experience.
