  I haven’t had a problem unit now, I got charged double for my oysters, and while I was taking care of it, my to go meal was taken off of my table and tossed away. My waiter had no communication skills of what he was doing. He wasn’t prioritizing table to table. He was multitasking, celebrating people’s birthdays with my credit card waving it around in his hand and My sweet tea in his other hand I just don’t think he is suitable to be in front of costumers. I had a $30 entrée, Land and sea Plate in a to go container on my table and it was just tossed away while I had to chase my waiter down.

  This building has been a few different restaurants over the years. I was keen to go back and see that wonderful view which is it's best feature, unparalleled in Corpus Christi, with a spectacular view of the city and the ocean and the ships and sailboats. Unfortunately the food came out late and cold, but on the other hand was expensive 😃 The rock music was rather oppressively loud and intrusive, and though the ragged end of spring break was still in existence there's certainly weren't any college students, just families, or business or friendly lunches. So what was the loud music for? Probably best for a cocktail and appetizers and a nice view.

  We used to come to this restaurant twice a year, but sadly this was our last time. First, the guy at the entrance told us we had to wait about 20 minutes, even though the restaurant was almost empty. After a while, he disappeared and a lady came to cover the entrance. She seated three parties that had just arrived without waiting. Then she disappeared and the boy came back. We asked why we had to wait, and he just said they didn’t have enough staff working. Then we ordered two king crab plates and discovered that even though the price is higher now, they only gave us half a crab each, when before it used to be one and a half crabs. Our plate used to include shrimp, sausages, sliced corn, boiled eggs, and the crab. Now it was just one whole corn (I’m guessing they don’t have the staff to slice it), no shrimp, and no sausage. The flavor is the same, but it’s not okay to change the portions so drastically. I understand that things are getting expensive everywhere, but this is just ridiculous. We came to Corpus just for this restaurant, but I guess it’s time to look for another city. We also ordered an expensive plate of coconut shrimp that was supposed to come with some sides, but we only got eight shrimp that looked and tasted just like the frozen ones from Costco. And they were served with a bunch of French fries that were not supposed to be part of this order. So they just replaced the sides without asking? The coleslaw was past its prime and tasted bad. We also ordered a kids’ menu that was supposed to come with a cup of mixed fruit, but instead they gave us mandarins in sugar water. The only good thing was our server. She was the nicest lady in the world.

  Stopped in for lunch to celebrate a family member’s birthday yesterday (03/15) we arrived and got checked in and waited for about an hour to be seated due to another family being seated in the larger table, once we were sat it went down hill the wait time was even longer we sat for about 4 hours waiting for drinks & food. We ordered 3 adult beverages from the bar and one kids freeze drink which had to be served at the bar that took almost an hour to receive! Our waiter was trying to be as helpful as she could but it was just over all a ridiculous experience. Our food took what felt like forever to come out and when it did I wish it never even came out. The shrimp was rubbery, corn was completely dried out and stiff, fries were horrible , chicken breast was tough and hard to cut into. Overall the food was absolutely horrible. My family was excited to stop here to celebrate a birthday and this place was an absolute let down. And not once did the manager come and properly talk with us after we had to ask 3 times for a manager we left not even knowing who the manager was. RIDICULOUS. SAVE YOUR MONEY GO TO WHATABURGER ACROSS THE STREET. We will not be returning!
