Don't try to go right now. Give it a few months…read more 3 FAILED ATTEMPTS. 9 months pregnant and tried 3 different times to dine, each time with no honest transparency with wait times. I really wanted to keep loving Bien Mérité, but after three attempts, I'm extremely frustrated. Each visit has involved inaccurate and constantly changing wait times. My first attempt on 4/10 around 2pm in the afternoon. It was just me and my 15month old baby, there was only 2-3 tables occupied and I was told 45 minute wait with an almost empty dining room. I asked the hostess due to me being 9 months pregnant and having a toddler if I could just at least sit down while waiting the additional 45 mins and was told no. So I totted out my baby and myself, bought pastries and left. The second attempt I was quoted an hour , waiting the full hour and checked back in with the hostess stand only to be told it was going to be an additional hour, on top of what we already waited again. Third attempt (Sunday, April 26) waited a full hour, checked in once again with the hostess and was told it is now going to be another 90 minutes on top of once again the hour we already waited. I understand waits happen, but this level of inconsistency feels disorganized and disrespectful of customers' time--especially when expectations are set incorrectly from the start. I'm just asking for transparency and honesty here. It's disappointing because the space is beautiful and I've always supported this business but the waitlist management and homestead stand seriously needs improvement on honesty and management of times.

Nostalgic Italian restaurant with quaint environment. My husband LOVED the calamari appetizer…read more("best I've ever had"). My salmon dinner over Angel hair pasta with a delicious cream & spinach sauce was excellent and a very generous portion. Our kids recommended meeting us for dinner here and we were really pleased with the service, the atmosphere and the food. Great job! Next time we visit CC, we'll definitely eat here again.

We came here for lunch as my dad likes Frank's and we were in town. The business has been here…read morealmost as long as my dad has been alive and the building is nostalgic and cute inside. When the hostess saw us from the kitchen she immediately came out and told us to pick a table. We ordered and then I decided I wanted wine with my meal and asked for a glass of Chianti because, well, it's an Italian restaurant. The do not have any Italian wine so I got the glass of cab. My dad and husband ordered the minestrone soup and really enjoyed it. My husband and I shared 2 sandwiches: the spicy Italian sausage and meatball sandwiches. There was no spice in the spicy sausage so we added a lot of black pepper. The meatballs were small and a little dry but tasty. The power went out just before we got our meal so we weren't sure what was going to happen. The staff was apologetic and trying to figure out what was going on. We got our food and it was hot and fresh. We were told that we would need to pay in cash which I rarely have on hand so I'm not sure what would have happened if I said that we didn't have any. We ate in the dark and were offered no compensation. The wine list is atypical of an Italian restaurant and having to eat by only the light of the front door being open without any kind of compensation isn't the service one would expect. I hope they got power back.

This time the crust looked and tasted like it was pre-prepared not unlike a gas station crust.

Thank you David, you're awesome, enjoyed the one piece talk too. The ambiance was very nice. There were forks and vines on the walls.

Happy Hour at Water Street never fails to disappoint!!…read more They have the best happy hour oysters in town. $18/dozen for gulf coast and $22/dozen for Canadian Beau Soleil and Pink Moon. They had several east coast varietals, but I wanted to try some that I'd never had before. Put down six dozen and loved every single one! Christian and Nick really took care of us at the bar. Friendly and efficient with great recommendations. The bar / restaurant gets very crowded, so get there early!! Great ambiance - their oyster bar is quaint and cute with white tiled walls and oysters on ice for display. I enjoy chatting with the shuckers - I am always amazed at their efficiency and tenacity! It is ALWAYS a stop when were in Corpus!

The view is across from the water, and beauty surrounds you on all sides. Front area has a wine room dinner option. We had bread with the most scrumptious butter that I've ever tasted. Very delicious followed by the crab cake as an appetizer. Dinner was the steak with smooth decadent whipped potato's, asparagus, Mac and cheese.

I'll start with the positive. The catfish was amazing, but that's all I can say that was good…read more Fried calamari and fried mushrooms were very bland, the french fries were awful, they tasted freezer burnt. My daughter's Alfredo pasta came out cold and was also very bland, tasted almost like it came out of a jar from the supermarket. The jalapeño hush puppies were very under cooked. The food just was not great at all! The service was lackluster at best, I get they were busy, but that's doesn't give the server the right to completely ignore our table. They had live music and it was way too loud, so loud the server couldn't even hear what I was ordering. This was our first time in Corpus Christi, and we will probably never visit this establishment when we come back.

The sirloin was initially undercooked. We're typically not the type to send back food unless it's egregious. Our server Yvette recognized the mistake and handled it like a pro.

We ordered at 3:55 pm and long story short- did not receive our food until 4:45 pm. As you can imagine, this wait was frustrating. We overheard at the table next to us a server, C., offering bread to her party, about 35 minutes into this dreaded wait. We respectfully flagged her down and asked for some, saying we had been waiting forever without any bread, she explained it is usually upon request only but was more than happy to bring us baguettes. Now, this was my first time at Landry's Seafood House, though I've been to several Landry's restaurants before as a LSC member. But how would I know to request free bread? After 30 minutes of waiting, shouldn't F. have just brought us some? I would have as a waiter. But no- we had to ask another server. C. started taking care of us little by little. Kudos to her for trying to salvage our experience with the bread and even free ice cream. But there was just so much wrong. One thing was our drinks were empty visibly but we had to constantly remind F. about refills, and he was not checking in on us otherwise. Instead of him anticipating our concern and explaining the hour long wait for food, we eventually asked what was taking so long and he checked only then. He said the kitchen was backed up. There were also discrepancies in our ordering that made him charge us for free substitutions, but I luckily looked over the receipt so he could fix it. The worst part of all of this was the food was not even hot, not good, I will stick with local restaurants when visiting Corpus going forward. My thinking was oh, I can trust a Landry's spot- but I was wrong. I did see the manager much later in our experience come check on us. I wanted to say all of this to him then- but didn't want to hurt anyone's feelings.
