Lisa Bella's Bistro Java - Port Aransas

Wonderful meal. The service was personal in a good way. The seafood was fresh and delicious. This is a great restaurant to spend time with friends at.

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.

Hey kids, we need to have a serious talk. I get that having a drink and dressing well can feel appealing, and that money can sometimes seem like an endless source of jealousy. You might feel proud of getting into a top school, and you might think that showing off will impress those older folks. But now it's time to get real and tighten your belt. Making reservations at an upscale place just to impress your date isn’t the answer. Instead, get a guitar and learn to sing! That’ll take you much further than any display of wealth you think will impress her. Trust me, if she’s into that kind of superficiality, it might be time to run!

"Everything was great, and we weren’t even aware of some aspects beforehand. The ferry ride was brief and free of charge. Just head to the restaurant and follow your GPS. The scenery is stunning! Here are a few pictures of the view from outside the restaurant."

The seafood here is incredibly delicious and expertly prepared. It's not your typical restaurant for roasted shrimp; instead, they focus on grilled fish served with delightful sauces. The waitstaff is professional and attentive. Overall, it's a warm atmosphere, and I believe this is the best seafood you can find in the Port Aransas and Corpus Christi area.
