I had a very wonderful birthday night here. There were five guys celebrated birthdays here at the same time. The people here let me feel at home. We chatted like friends. It was amazing. When I want to have a happy and wonderful night, I come to visit. I love the guys here. I like the salad so much and also the bread. Reservation is needed, especially in the weekends. Sometimes in the weekdays, you can just come by to ask. If you are lucky enough, you can get a seat. Enjoy!

You will definitely need reservations! We were fortunate to get a table for two in the bar when we called the day before. Robin took great of us & our food was amazing. Highly recommended when you're visiting Port A.

This place requires a reservation. We didn’t know. However, we lucked out because a table for two in the bar canceled so we got squeezed in. The food is exceptional. The owners know everyone in town, from what I saw. It is a good vibe, great food, and a very active social place. I loved the duck. It was cooked to perfection with an impeccable texture. The honey and Dijon glacé was brilliant. He loved his seafood spaghetti. The garlic bread was delicious.

We love to eat here whenever we visit Port Aransas. It’s small but cozy. Reservations are highly encouraged. The food is fresh and delicious and the service is fabulous. There is even a sign on the door saying noisy children will not be tolerated. Unfortunately I do not think the sign is enforced as there was a loud child screeching constantly while we were there. Since the room is so small it does echo a bit so it made it difficult to converse. Other than that, we always enjoy visiting. I love the pasta and the creme brûlée is superb.

We had dinner here during a recent trip to Port A. I'm not going to lie but I was very hesitatant to go because I'm a picky eater. I am so glad that I did!!! We can't stop talking about it. We made reservations because we were told that they book fast. When we arrived there were many empty tables but they were all full by the time we left. Our table of six ordered three appetizers to share, an entree each and five desserts. We sampled each other's dishes and every plate with every course was left clean. We had Paul as our server and Ana as his assistant. They were both excellent! They didn't rush us, answered all of our questions and gave us the right amount of attention. We enjoyed the food, the service and will definitely return when in the area. We have already started recomm
