    Our biggest difficulty was not the making of the restaurant, but of ourselves. One of our number has trouble with stairs. The establishment accommodated as best they could, but I will say that the ambience was slightly marred by having to travel to our table through the kitchen. They did their best to meet our needs, and other than that the experience was wonderful.

    All the tapas we tried were absolutely delicious and very well prepared. Crab crostini, brisket empanadas, ceviche trio, samosas, queso de cabra, but the highlight of the meal was the cheesecake. Almost like Basque cheesecake in texture, but much lighter in flavor. Oh, and they make proper Palomas! The service was very warm, friendly, and knowledgeable. The atmosphere was relaxed yet sophisticated. Beautiful views. Fun play list. Lively but not too noisy. Highly recommend.

    We enjoy the seafood at Landrys. It is fun to sit on a boat in the Corpus Christi Bay and watch the sun set over the water. Our waitstaff, Maddie, was attentive, pleasant, congenial, and efficient. We had a wonderful holiday meal!
