Dragonfly Restaurant - Corpus Christi

I had shrimp skewers with a spicy sauce which was excellent. The creme brulee for dessert was delicious. The atmosphere was quiet which made for good conversation. We had no delay in getting seated. I would highly recommend it

Food was great, however the restaurant was severely understaffed. The folks did their very best (so this is not on them), but there was just not enough folks working for a Friday night.

Love love love this place! Been coming here for years. The food is so special and I love the grilled skewers shrimp topped with spicy sambal sauce, served with sweet potato plantain cake, coconut peanut rice sauce. Yum! Everything we've eaten here is delicious and the bar tender is good. Only drawback is they are as everyone else under staffed. The staff is great! But remember you are on island time and relax and have a good meal.

Well, it started out waiting at the front door patiently for 4 minutes to be seated, and we were the only 2 in line and several tables were clean for us to sit at, but we waited. Then, we ordered drinks, which took an additional 5 minutes to do. Not kidding, after a 20 minute wait and ordering top shelf gin, we finally get our drinks and the tonic is just flat. We waited an additional 10 minutes for the waitress to return. In waiting, we noticed several tables had not been bussed since we arrived. That, the waiting, the wasted drink, and the fact that 2 whole people ran the entire front of the house from hostess, waiter, server, bartender and bus boy, we decided to leave, paying for the drinks and a 20% tip. Hopefully they get more employees and we can actually try the food next time if we return.

Our favorite place on NPI. Never disappoints! Food is delicious and the drinks were incredible. I had a cucumber martini and my husband had the top shelf margarita with a hot pepper infused shot. Wow. Thanks bartender Zach! My hubby had the special Bouillabaisse and said it was phenomenal. The Carl's dessert was delicious too. This was our first time back since Covid and we were so excited to eat here again! Yum.
