Staff was excellently knowledgeable and skilled with cocktails and food, also friendly and laid back. The drinks were most definitely the best in town. The atmosphere is uniquely nautical. It felt like a true old world Captain's Cabin. Great view as well day or night with outdoor dining deck.

Finally Corpus has a bar with a nice atmosphere and amazing drinks. Thanks Jacob for creating a much needed unique bar with a great vibe!

We had drinks and dessert. It was fantastic--from the atmosphere to the drinks and the dessert. They have freshly muddled cocktails (several of which can be made non-alcoholic) made by quality mixologists. I had a cucumber mocktail and a watermelon margarita mocktail (both fantastic). My party had a watermelon cocktail and a cold brew martini. Then we had dessert and they were both delicious! The flourless chocolate cake was very good and topped with fresh berries. However, to me, the star of the show was the Cinnamon Bread Pudding w/ apple pie ice cream --WOW! Genius combination. We will be back for more.

Make your way through the shop upstairs. Had the Nitro Espresso martini and it was one of the best I've tried. Bartender said they've worked on perfecting the recipe and that they did. The place has great view at sunset and the staff is entirely friendly and make great drinks. It is a small space, and a group of 3 of us arrived there were tables reserved for a planned tasting which at arrival we weren't sure if seating would be available. Thankfully we got to sit. Overall plan ahead with reservations. Didn't try the tapas but they're known for them being good too.

Best fine dining in corpus right now. Very attentive and friendly servers. They made a custom craft mocktail that was ?. The food is well plated and top notch. The lamb sliders with the scratch made buns are hands down one of the best things I’ve had in my life . The bread pudding with apple pie ice cream is amazing. If there were more places like the Mariner in Corpus Christi , we’d be moving in the right direction.

Absolutely fabulous!! Upstairs from Harrison's Landing, enter via a stairway in the gift shop--literally a hidden gem (think Speakeasy). The craft cocktails are beautiful creations. My personal favorite is an old prohibition cocktail called The Bees Knees! The only one I've found this good is in NOLA. The Tapas are off the charts!!!! The Mariner does NOT serve regular bar food! These Tapas are perfect, delectable, works of culinary art!! Very special place, and we will be back often!!

Wow! Wow! Wow!It’s a MUST SEE!!!!(I’ll write more later).Now it's later.…This has to be one of the best hidden gems in CC, TX ? I adored the decor. The craft cocktails were exquisite. The staff were so inviting. The owner (you) cracked me up... when I was trying to photo my cocktail & you thought I was “rejecting” it & took a straw to try it ???‍♀️? that was truly memorable ? I can't wait to go back..I highly recommend this venue for a girls night out or a date night ?...The view of the CC skyline is breathtaking.

The short summary is a big wow. The drinks are fantastic. The ambience on the patio (specifically the north patio) is outstanding. My wife and I were the only two out there and were able to soak in the views and enjoy each others company. It was the perfect blend of romance and intimacy that you want from a date night.All of the staff were so friendly and kind, too. It is the kind of service that you really want from a restaurant.We only had one food item and that was a dessert. The pastry chef himself brought it out to us and MAN, that chef is going to be flying high soon. I’ve thought about it and truly think that was the best dessert I have come across.We can’t wait to go back. To all the staff there that might be reading this…a big thank you. And to any potential customers…go!

Only came for drinks to check out this newly opened place and loved it! Great service with awesome cocktails and an awesome view of the skyline. Cool vibe and definitely a place to bring out of town visitors! It’s listed as a restaurant but a great place to come for

Table of 6, Cocktails were great but it took a very long time to get served both drinks and food. Server was friendly and knowledgeable of menu. Oysters Mariner was really tasty but our lamb skewers(2 plates)were dry and had ZERO flavor. Shrimp(2 plates) were way over cooked, would not peel and very rubbery. The place was a pretty hip joint(though very loud)and with some quality control put in place before food is run I think could be successful.
