Yardarm Restaurant: An Unforgettable Seafood Experience in Corpus Christi

Do NOT judge this book by its cover. The service is amazing and attentive. The food was delicious! We had the crab cakes-wonderful, stuffed mushrooms-rich, bagged fish, pistachio crusted drum and salmon. Everything was fresh and tasty.

This place is a Gem! The service from the moment you walk in is detailed and specific to your party. It is small but that just makes it more intimate and special! The food was on point from the appetizer, the salads were fresh and delicious to every entree made perfectly for everyone's liking! The bar tender even knew how to make real drinks we always preferred the classic cocktails to the new ones...

We tried this place for the first time on Valentine’s Day. We made a reservation for 7pm but didn’t get seated until 7:30pm. No big deal, it was pretty packed and the guy explained they were under staffed. Understandable. We sat down and ordered and service was great. We had Oyster Rockefeller for our appetizer and let me tell you. Ahhhhhhhhhmazing. I will never be able to have these anywhere else and think they are good. We got drinks and they were great too. They didn’t taste cheap like some places we have gone. We ordered and the food was out at a decent time, I got the Lobster Thermidor and I was in heaven. I can’t express how wonderful their food was. It’s so rare for us to go to a restaurant and eat and we are both 100% happy. That’s so very very rare for us. So thank you. We will most definitely be back.

It's a gem in Corpus Christi. It's the perfect place for special occasions It's so warm to be greeted by the owners once you stepped in the restaurant. Looking at the photos on the walls of the entrance hall, I already felt so welcomed and like visiting my granny at her home. Then, the attention to details also caught my heart; like serving salad in cold plates, making simple salad with fresh veggies (you can definitely taste the difference in the cucumbers and carrots used here!) and the unique house blend dressings. The entrees are solid gold. I understand why they only need a one-page menu! Will definitely come back and check out more on the menu!

My wife and I came to Yardarm based on a YouTube video recommendation and we were not disappointed at all. The atmosphere is cozy and cute with the best host and hostess on the Gulf! The food was delicious in classic French style and the wine pairings were spot on. Will definitely come again!

I stumbled upon this restaurant by accident while searching for places to eat in the area one of the best mistakes I’ve ever made! The food was so good that I had to come back the very next day just to try more from the menu. The waitstaff was incredibly friendly and knew the menu inside and out, which made ordering even easier. So far, I’ve tried the fried shrimp platter—absolutely delicious—the black Angus ribeye, which was so tender I could cut it with a fork, and the clam chowder, which was rich and flavorful. Even the salad was fresh and well-prepared. They also have a fantastic bar menu with a great selection of specialty cocktails, wines, and beers, perfect for pairing with their amazing dishes. But that ribeye? That alone is enough to bring me back again! Can’t wait for my next visit.

Excellent place on Ocean drive, great food, service, drinks, hospitality, and views. Their seafood is simply awesome. We had escargot, flounder, and tiramisu. Yum!!

Fantastic dinner! The owners greeted us as we came in. All of the hospitality and service is 5-star without the pretentious atmosphere. We had the escargot, oysters Rockefeller, black drum papillote, and chocolate mousse. Each dish was impressive with flavor. Service speed was perfect for a date night away. Have to call to make reservations. The old school reservations book is on the desk just inside the door. Love this family feeling and restaurant. We will enthusiastically be recommending this place to all who visit Corpus!
