Absolutely Amazing!…read more There were four of us dining here, and we were all incredibly impressed! We're not local to Port Aransas, but this will definitely be a place we come back to whenever we're in the area. The lamb chops were hands-down some of the BEST we've ever had. The ribeye was amazing, the halibut was amazing, and their lasagna was absolutely delicious. Honestly, everything we tried was fantastic! The service was just as impressive as the food, friendly, attentive, and made the entire experience even better. If you're looking for a great meal in Port Aransas, GO! And if you're on the fence because of a few negative reviews, don't let them stop you. Our experience was wonderful from beginning to end, and all four of us agreed the food was amazing. I would definitely recommend making reservations ahead of time. From what we could tell, reservations are the best way to make sure you get a table, especially if they're busy. Definitely worth the visit, we highly recommend it!

Even on a busy evening, we called and were able to secure seating. From the moment we walked in, we were blown away by every single course. We started with their delicious, fresh bread and crisp salad, pairing our meal with an incredible bottle of Malbec. For the main course, I ordered the Pecan Crusted Halibut, which was absolutely spectacular, and my husband had the Lamb Chops, cooked to absolute perfection. The Parmesan potatoes were also delicious. The service was amazing from start to finish--we were welcomed with warm smiles, and our waiters were attentive and wonderful. To top off an already perfect night, we had the pleasure of meeting Chef Sergio, who took the time to come out to our table. I truly cannot recommend this place enough and we can't wait to return to try more of their incredible dishes on the island. (Don't forget to also try their delicious deserts!)

Amazing food, atmosphere, & drink selection. The crab & lobster cake were the best crab cakes I've…read moreever had! Delicious!

The concept, name, and location are all great. We were a disappointed in the menu options and the…read moreconfusion of the Blacksheep Bistro and Barrell Wine Bar and Tapas connected...with the same menu. I was expecting a robust menu with a variety of yummy tapas to choose from. The menu was underwhelming with appetizers, not tapas, and a limited menu. A wine menu was provided, but a cocktail menu, or beer selected were not offered or available. We ordered a salad and appetizers. The salad was good and the best part of the meal. We also ordered the crab nachos and the bacon wrapped shrimp. Cute names on the menu, but unfortunately, again underwhelming and lacking flavor. The nachos were bland, with little flavor or seasoning. The most exciting part of the nachos were the thinly sliced jalapeños. The bacon wrapped shrimp were more flavorful with a red chutney/salsa. Tasty, but how can you go wrong with shrimp and bacon. Dessert was the best part of the meal. Our waiter brought over a hand written dessert menu. Hard to read the print, but he explained all the desserts. We had a brownie and ice cream dish that was delicious. Overall, cute place, great concept, great service but just "ok". Probably wont be back...unfortunately.....wanted it to work.

This place is AWESOME. We drove 40 mins to get here and it was very worth it…read more I loved seeing the patio area (& there's even a comfortable beer garden out back, with games like cornhole and Jenga!) The inside is clean and inviting. They are very welcome to dogs and support animal welfare organizations it looks like! We of course had to have two flights - one beer, one wine. I can't completely recall my order - the wines I remember trying were blackberry, raspberry, watermelon, and the "muscles and tattoos(?)." Every single one was amazing. I personally adored the blackberry, and my partner - who usually is not a huge wine fan at all - adored the watermelon wine. My palate isn't really built for beer, so three of the four samples we had were just good to me. There were subtle differences in the hoppiness which I really liked for dimension. There is one that stood out which was a pickle beer... if you tried the Best Maid beer and you were traumatized by how gross it is, please try this beer to recover. It is absolutely incredible. We had to buy a 4-pack to go. Speaking of which! There's also the option to take a "batch" of something you enjoyed home. It is a touch expensive, but for good reason, and if I lived closer I probably would have done that with the blackberry wine! Also, the bartender was incredible. I didn't get his name but whoever was there on the 10th around 7pm, you're super cool! Service, from getting his attention, to our order being prepared, to getting the tab completed/souvenirs bought, took no time at all. I'll have to come back down from Dallas for sure.

So friendly! Brought our dog with us and they got him a bowl of water before we got drinks! Very…read morepet friendly! They also were selling raffle tickets for their local shelter. Wines were nice. We enjoyed all of them. None were terrible, unlike some reviews some said. We ended up leaving g with several bottles! Worth a visit!
