I wish we had discovered the Phoenix on the first night of our vacation in Port A, instead of the last night. I’m willing to bet that the Phoenix has the best menu and finest food within 100+ miles. We had a scrumptious shrimp-topped fried tomato appetizer. Husband enjoyed a gorgeous steak, and I had the triple tail fish with a coconut and pistachio sauce that was very possibly the best fish I’ve ever eaten. The menu has a slight Japanese flair which adds some amazing new flavors to the menu. The sake was incredible while others bragged on the Phoenix Martini.
The atmosphere indoors is not exactly romantic. Very utilitarian and due to its small size, it can get noisy, so don’t be heading there for a quiet candlelit expensive dinner date. The outside eating is lovely however!
Perhaps the only thing that was disappointing was dessert. Coconut cream pie was just a little above average, not sweet enough in our opinion. The lemon blueberry creme brûlée was delicious, but served in a 1/3 cup size metal tin that looked a little like what you might buy in a set of 6 at Costco. Don’t get me wrong…it was very good! Just didn’t compete with our gorgeously plated food earlier in the meal, nor did it look very appetizing sitting there all cold and naked on a white plate! It didn’t keep me from devouring it however, and wishing it was a little bigger!
Service was friendly and fast! We will be back many more times! We made a reservation and I’m glad we did. By the time we left at 7pm on a Thursday night, the restaurant was virtually full.

We very much enjoyed our visit and dinner. Their pricing matches the quality of their food!
I highly recommend this restaurant when visiting Port Aransas.

My wife and I dined there last night, 1/7/2025 and were more than pleased. We were shocked at the quality of the food, the fantastic service. The atmosphere was light and inviting. The staff was amazing. The crab cakes were great with substantial crab and little if any filler. The quail were to die for. The old fashioned was very tasty as well. I will recommend to anyone going to Port A!!!!! John & Laurie L

We had reservations for 6:30 and when we went inside we found it too loud inside for us to enjoy our dinner and it was also very cold inside. They were kind enough to re-seat us outside and set up two heaters to try to keep us ram on a very windy night. Our server Erik took excellent care of us going the extra mile at every turn. Pass on the beef skewers, they were very chewy. The tuna entree was top notch as was the haddock special with a lemon crème sauce, rice and steamed vegetables. We also loved the ginger cake with cream cheese frosting, yum! It is pricey to dine here.

Wow wow wow– this is the best place ive ever eaten hands down. If you want fresh seafood, prepared right, and you actually want to get what you pay for as opposed to all of the other touristy high priced stuff on the island– this is absolutely the place to go.
Sat down saw a few families with kids eating, so im not sure what the other reviews are talking about, maybe they just had big parties and no reservations– ANYWAYS
Best crab cakes ive ever had, best coconut cream pie, and the sushi is amazing as well. This has been the highlight of my beach trip along with my friends– 10/10 dont miss this. I will definitely be back

This is by far the best restaurant in town. Chef is amazing and you need to make reservations.

The food and atmosphere were so great. My waiter Emily was so wonderful. The food was awesome. The view out here on the patio is breathtaking. I am so glad that I was able to come to such a nice and quaint place with such great food. Thanks for having me.

This is a beautiful gem in Port Aransas. The food was so yummy. Pictures include the lamb special and the shrimp and quail appetizers. It’s a breezy outdoor patio that is dog friendly and has a beautiful sunset. I recommend that you make a reservation this place can get busy later in the day. They can only do party’s of 6 and under but the atmosphere is worth it and that definitely helps keep this place as spaced and the experience as personal as possible. The staff was amazing, Tom gave great recommendations on how to get the special cooked ( medium rare) oh my goodness it fell off the bone and he had us laughing and enjoying our vacation all the more after a day on the water. I will 100% be back. I also loved that a lot of locals were walking in as we were leaving and they knew our server by name. This makes me feel like this is a every time experience. Can’t wait to try the creme brulee and the tuna martini next time ( tables near us recommend or ordered and you could hear there love) could not say more good this about this place.

One of the best meals I’ve ever had! The sushi was so fresh it melted in my mouth with flavors and textures that were incredible! The Sushi is handmade by the owner herself and I must say she is a Goddess! Great atmosphere as well! Took dessert to go for the beach! #AMAZING

Well let me start with the food is normal pretty good. We made reservations for 8 , started raining unexpected the restaurant went into scramble mode trying to seat the people from outside inside once they had managed to do that we were a Party of Three there was three chairs at the bar the bartender said we could sit down there the hostess and the server quickly shunt her and told us that those seats were for somebody else as time went on and it was now 8:30 and we were still not sat the server tried to pretend like he didn’t even work at the restaurant which was funny because we had him the night before just seems like he was too busy trying to pick up a date after he’d let me know it’d be another 10 to 15 minute wait I decided that we would no longer be eating at that establishment we drove down the road Tortugas got us right in
