Mouthwatering Wine Bars in Corpus Christi

Huisache Grill

★★★★☆ 4.2 (819) • $$

"My girlfriend found this place and saw that it had good reviews, so we decided to try it out. Once we arrived parking was a bit difficult to find (especially on a Wednesday), since it's in a small area. Once we arrived we were greeted and quickly seated. The atmosphere was nice and had a romantic bar vibe.Once seated we ordered drinks and an appetizer (the artichoke dip) and also ordered our main courses. I ordered the Breaded Chicken and my girlfriend ordered the Basil Chicken. Both came with soup or salad, which we both ordered the soup. One chicken tortilla soup and one soup of the day. Shortly after our waitress brought us rolls w/ butter which were nice, delicious, and warm.Later our appetizer arrived, which had a nice presentation but did not have any flavor at all. It was bland and the pita chips had to be eaten with it since they had saltiness to add with it. Once we received our main courses, we were excited (since the plates looked great). But after eating the food we both were disappointed. The pasta with the Breaded Chicken was very bland and the crust was sliding off the chicken. It was very difficult to eat. As for the Basil chicken plate, the kale was not tasty at all. It had a salty kick and then a bitter aftertaste. We had told our waitress and once she spoke to the manager she provided a 10% discount for the inconvenience.I'm sorry, but I give this place 3 stars. We left disappointed, and even with the discount it was still overpriced for the taste of the food."

Da Vinci Ristorante Italiano

Salt New American Table

★★★★☆ 4.4 (424) • $$$

"First time here and thoroughly enjoyed the dining experience. The staff is incredibly friendly and helpful. The staff as a whole really seem to enjoy their work and treat customers with respect. The chips were crispy, salty and addictive. The cocktail was made with freshly squeezed juice and perfectly refreshing on a hot south Texas day. The salad was well balanced and delicious. The steak was cooked to perfection and served with an incredible mushroom sauce. Substituted the onion rings for potatoes that were rich and seasoned perfectly. The NY strip was a little fatty and tough on one end but the other end was on point. Great experience!"

House Wine & Bistro

★★★★☆ 4.3 (258) • $$

"Its always a wonderful experience here from the service to the food and drinks. The times we have been there our servers are knowledgeable of the different plates offered and share their favorites with us. Looking forward to visit again during brunch!"

Santa Fe Steakhouse & Cantina

★★★★☆ 4.3 (221) • $$$

"I don't come here often. When we do, we know to expect a large check at the end. However, we've never left disappointed. The ambiance is calm and relaxing. The tables were somewhat cramped together. I came with a large group of friends. Our server was very attentive. He made sure I was content with my special unique cocktail order. I especially loved the pianist music softly playing in the background. Our food was great."

Il Forno a Legna

★★★★☆ 4 (190) • $$

"Italian food is universally loved, but unfortunately that has allowed too many purveyors of mediocre pasta and pizza to lower the bar for what gets to pass as Italian. When I find a place that reminds me why I like certain dishes, I feel the need to share; I was immediately smitten by what is happening at Il Forno. We ordered a pizza with shrimp and peppers as a starter for the table to share and it was the kind of pie that I rarely find. There was a debate about the marinara sauce (yes, my friends are also foodies). Was the slight sweetness caused by the peppers or is their basic sauce just less acidic than what most chefs use? That will be a topic for next time as we all loved it... There was even more chatter about the crust - not soggy, not burned, but perfectly cooked. It looked beautiful and tasted like a slice of heaven. For the main course, I ordered Capellini Positano, which has crab, olives, and mozzarella. The server asked if I would like to add another protein, which had not occurred to me, but why not, so I requested shrimp. The portion was big enough for two, but since I was visiting and there was no fridge in my hotel room, I ate it all (great food should never be wasted). We ordered a few desserts to share that included Tiramisu, Night of the Chocolate, and Pistachio Gelato. Even though tiramisu was my favorite (as it usually is), I ate quite a bit of the others as well. I'm happy to see that Il Forno is serving what great Italian food should be and I can't wait for my next visit."

TANNINS Wine Bar & Tapas Restaurant

★★★★☆ 4.2 (131) • $$

"We like this place. The quality can vary. For the most part it is very very good. We will return there. And we know we'll have fun there."

The Loretto Bistro

★★★★☆ 3.6 (130) • $$

"Wow what an experience! As soon as we walked in, we were greeted w/a warm smile from the entire staff. The ambiance is super cute and the service/server amazing!! I got the Chicken and Waffles (egg whites only) and my husband got the Hangover burrito. We both loved the food. Highly recommend asking for hot sauce on the side (its pretty spicy but so good)."

Fork And Vines

★★★★★ 4.6 (8)

"We've been twice. Each time the food and service were stellar. The ambiance is cozy and intimate. This place is well worth it."

Gruene River Grill

★★★★☆ 4.2 • $$

"We had a really nice dinner at Gruene River Grill. Dining out on the patio with beautiful hill country weather provided a nice dining out experience in New Braunfels. The Jalapeño Crawfish Chowder was the best appetizer I have had in a while. The Country Fried Chicken was delicious. Great meal & nice patio dining. They were out of all the dark beer they listed on their current menu. Hopefully they restock soon or modify their offerings. The service was fantastic from being seated quickly, ordering and receiving our meal. Definitely coming back while the weather is perfect for outdoor patio dining in Texas."
