Lisabella's Bistro and Bar

We absolutely enjoyed our anniversary dinner here last night. We live in Corpus and called around 12;30 to make dinner reservations. I received a call back promptly and was told they only had reservations at the bar available. We had our 10 year old daughter with us and they said it was fine and more of a family friendly environment. We started with the goat cheese dip and the mermaid soup which were both delicious. My husband ordered the steak and I ordered the scallops. Both were heavenly. I especially enjoyed the shrimp on his plate. Amazing flavor, and the scallops were huge. The only downside was that their oral children’s menu didn’t have anything my daughter likes, so we just ordered her garlic bread. Looking forward to going back again soon!

This place had AMAZING food! Elevated flavors with that classic fresh seafood that you may be craving. I highly recommend the mermaid soup, exquisite! For dinner, we had scallops and the seafood enchiladas ...it was all amazing. So very good! My scallops were the biggest I've ever seen, and they melted in my mouth! I'll be remember this meal for a long time! 💙👌

Tried the mermaid soup, crab cakes, mixed grill and scallops. Excellent service.

I've been here a few times and haven't had a dish or drink that wasn't amazing. Mermaid soup, goat cheese spread and seafood enchiladas are a few of my favs.

CALL AHEAD, MAKE RESERVATIONS. we did not because we didn't know. The ferry ride across didn't take long, no cost. Easy to get to restaurant, jus follow your GPS. Beautiful setting. Here some pics of the view outside the restaurant.

When you're staying at Cinnamon Shore for a relaxing getaway, this restaurant is a must for dinner. Their menu is primarily seafood, with some steak and quail thrown in as well.

Recommendations: Get the crab cake for an appetizer. It's got tons of crab in it and is served with a delicious beurre blanc sauce. For your meal, get either the Red Snapper or the Filet. I've also heard that the Seafood Enchiladas are good as well.

Our chocolate cake for dessert wasn't all that special. So maybe skip dessert here.

Pro Tip: You'll want to make a reservation. Because of social distancing, a reservation is required to get a table - especially on Tuesday and Thursday evenings when there is a live band playing.

🌴☀Best food! The oysters are a great way to start off your meal! The crisp top of the oyster shell added a another type of flavor. I ordered the sunlight pasta for my entree and it was so yummy! I loved the tomatoes and pancetta on the pasta. I also added shrimp to my pasta which was so good with the pasta! Beachy vibe to the restaurant which I loved!! The artwork really enhanced my meal. So many different entrees. 🌴☀

I called today at 11:00 a.m. to make a reservation and left a message. They called me back within 20 minutes to confirm the reservation. We arrived early and they seated us right away. We tried the mermaid soup which was delicious, the scallops and the macadamia nut crusted snapper and all three dishes were heavenly and amazing. Our waitress was very nice, very knowledgeable, and easy to talk to. She answered several of our questions about Port Aransas and cinnamon shores. I am gluten-free due to a wheat allergy and the waitress was very good about notating that on the order, and letting the kitchen staff know. Overall we were very impressed with the restaurant the service and the food. Also they are freedom and face friendly!

Update: hubby and I had our wedding reception there in April 2021 and they made our day so special! They made a special order of gluten free crab cakes for us, and the pastry chef made the BEST wedding cake I've ever tasted! It was moist and delicious and decorated beautifully!

Went here with my wife for our anniversary and absolutely loved it. Giani was our waiter and he treated us like family. Food was fantastic. Fun atmosphere. We will be back.

We recently held a Dress Rehearsal dinner at Lisabella's and it could not have been a better experience. We arrived early, but the table was set and our drinks and appetizers were served almost immediately. Our servers were pleasant and efficient and the food could not have been better! It was a wonderful time all around and I highly recommend them for any special event! We will be going back just for the fun of it!

Not sure what happened to other people that gave bad reviews, but to us this restaurant is not one to bring children to. We had a great dinner and worth every penny. Really fresh fish and creative sides were wonderful. The dessert was delicious. This is upscale and again worth spending for great food. I say if you have children, go get fried foods or pizza.

Sweet place. Small so limited seating. Call ahead. Excellent place tucked away in private development. Food yummy 😋

Service was good. The pasta Del Mar was delicious with the garlic bread . Photo -quail knots.

Enjoyed our food, atmosphere and the Bartender was a delight:)

Had a great meal here on the Saturday before Christmas. Highly recommend!

Super nice place for dinner. Upscale dinning with quality to match. Dress is business casual. Staff is very welcoming and food was so good. It is $$$ but worth it

My husband and I had a wonderful, elegant, professional, server by the name of Jessica. We just stopped in for drinks and appetizers - to “check” the place out, and we will be back for the full deal next time! My cocktail, the “Frieda,” and our Tar Tar was exceptional!

Went to Lisabella's with three friends and we all seem to like the place. The waiter was very decent, patient and wore a smiley face all night.
The customers here are often not young people. They are matured and want a quiet environment. I liked that.
Our meals came on time and as expected - fresh.
The cake we ordered for dessert tasted nice but was fridge-cold. Still was nice though.

Delicious seafood prepared perfectly. Not a fried shrimp basket kind of place, rather grilled fish with sauces. Waitstaff are professional servers.
Expensive, but hands down the best seafood around Port A and Corpus that I have found

Great food great service and the location is amazing, very family friendly. you cannot go wrong with any of the dishes. we had dinner with our kids and while we wait for food, the kids just go off and play in the lawn, yo can't beat that, plus the food.
