I remember my dining companions, mostly college students, being thoroughly impressed with the place, but the two of us who were young professionals found the seafood overcooked. My wife and I were in the area earlier this month and needed a lunch spot, so I suggested we give this place another try. I'm glad we did. They've changed up how they have their outdoor seating, which includes netting to prevent most things from getting in, but there's still quite a few birds who slip through the open side and try to get you to feed them. Some people must do it, because they've got signage up encouraging you not to do it. Service was decent. The waiter was covering most of the "patio" area (it's like a floating patio on the water), so we definitely could have used some refills that we simply didn't get. My "captain's crunch" was a po-boy like sandwich that was pleasantly crunchy but different enough from the traditional New Orleans style to be unique. My wife was so full from the Marina Mac that I ended up finishing the last few bites to empty the plate. If we're back in the area, we'll probably give this place another visit.

This place is such a hidden gem! My partner and I went cause we heard they changed their menu and…read moresaw it on instagram and thought, why not. They are DOG FRIENDLY!!!! And dogs have their own little menu!!! I absolutely loved it. Our server was amazing!!! She was fast, had a great personality and could not ask for a better waitress. She recommended the cord taquitos, which were honestly the best thing of the night. (Thank you Gwen) The fried fish was also the best I have ever had in my life, and my partner said that she really liked her tiki grill as well, no complaints! We were also able to order virgin pina coladas; totally worth it! Over all, the only thing I would be wary of is that fact that it is all outside, so plan accordingly. There is also a cute gift shop, where if you are at the restaurant, you get 20% off your order. Don't miss the mariner upstairs either, such a cute place and my whole experience was just perfect. tldr. So worth it!! Recommend -corn taquito -tiki grill -fried fish -pina colada -Gwen's section Not Recommended -Nothing to note!

We arrived early on a tired Tuesday evening and my partner and I were immediately seated, handed…read moremenus and ordered drinks. The restaurant is located in a strange space right where Airline and Cimarron intersect; it's a bit hard to find. The inside is painted bright sea blue with nautical decorations with about 20 tables. The menu contains mostly seafood but some chicken and steak selections. We ordered fried grouper/shrimp platter with okra and cole slaw and grilled shrimp with rice pilaf and mixed vegetables. We were given a bowl of fresh potato chips, warm from the fryer - they're good, but I would suggest salt and seasonings, maybe even a sauce for dipping as they are bland. Bland seemed to be the cuisine of the day. Our fish and shrimp were not seasoned very well, and needed more salt/pepper just to be palatable. The tartar sauce is very tasteless as is the cole slaw made with mainly red cabbage. The okra was fine, the hushpuppies were forgettable and would benefit greatly from a little jalapeno, onion, corn or pepper. Grilled shrimp was good except for the seasoning and the pilaf was okay, but who raves about rice pilaf? Steamed veggies (yawn) were yucky. Even a cheese sauce or butter sauce would have improved the flavor. The portions of grouper on the fish/shrimp platter were tiny - about the size of a half dollar and there were only three of them. At the price you would expect a little more. The shrimp on that platter were large but overcooked. Everything tasted fresh - - no complaints there. The service was attentive and friendly. The restaurant is clean inside and has a full bar. Total for two platters, two teas was $46.88 without tip. With just a few tweaks this restaurant would be five stars.

I'll start with the positive.

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.

He was also very gracious in helping us when our food was a disappointment. I started with a cup of the lobster bisque and I am so glad that I did because it was DELICIOUS! I don't want to know how much butter went into the process, the perfect amount for maximum flavor for sure, so let's just go with that. Then we ordered the pear salad and shrimp and scallops. This is where it took a turn. The portion on the salad was not shareable, not even a full dinner portion for one. The presentation of the shrimp and scallops was lovely, but the shrimp and scallops themselves had ZERO seasoning or flavor. Not cooked with butter, not even salt or pepper. The only flavor came from the ginger carrot coulis which was nice but very gingery. The risotto was cold. Very cold. The only redeemer on the plate was the sautéed kale which had a lovely flavor and was nice and warm. I ultimately sent the main back and got a bowl of the bisque, which again-was a delight. Big hunks of lobster meat and creamy. Would go back for drinks and the bisque, but would not waste time on entrees.
