ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! The server was super knowledgeable about the menu (she had worked there 25yrs). Her recommendation were spot on. This restaurant was featured on The Texas Bucket List show, which is how we discovered this gem! Highly recommended the food and service!

This is the best restaurant in Corpus for my money. Exquisite seafood dishes you won't get anywhere else. Everything on the menu is terrific. The service is always excellent. The atmosphere is great as well. It's quiet and classy, but you can wear anything you want and not be out of place. I only gave it 5 stars because they wouldn't let me give 10.

I have dined at this restaurant since the 1980s and the food has always been terrific. Please bring back the del Monico potatoes as they created a flavor memory that can't be duplicated anywhere else. The staff has always been accommodating and if I ever had an issue it was quickly addressed. Anytime I make it back to Corpus, this is where I make sure I make a stop. The only place I know of where I am sated and when I walk out of the Yardarm and when I catch a whiff of the kitchen, it makes me want to turn right around and go back inside and order more of their delicious food!

Food was excellent! Service, wonderful! Met the owner and he was so nice and so friendly! Fine dining at a very casual place. It's cozy, it's eclectic, and just really good food. Don't expect that quality of food at this place. Don't judge a book by its cover! Saw many comments about "run down" or "saw cats outside" like so what. The quality of ingredients and the servers and the experience are well worth it....in my opinion, anyway!

What a fantastic little hidden restaurant in Corpus right on the water. This is very easy to miss when driving by, as it almost looks like a little house. It may not look like much on the outside, but this is absolutely a fine dining restaurant owned locally. This is one of the nicer restaurants I've been to on my travels to Corpus. They open at 5:30pm and we were able to get a table for 3 people with no problem at all. It is very quaint and small inside though, so I'd recommend calling before showing up with a larger group. The service was great and the food was mouth watering. They have daily specials to choose from as well. Full bar. Pretty large menu and views of the bay. You can't go wrong. Make sure to stop in here and support this local business!
