I was warned that the sushi was going to take 45 minutes, but I waited for it anyway. When it did show up an hour or something later, not even the fish were correct. Tuna was subbed for salmon and some kind of a mixed mess should have been yellowtail. And I went home after they gave me a piece of key lime pie.

Ate all the oysters at the bar. Happy hour has half priced raw oysters, but not the cooked ones... The normal flavors were very good but the blue cheese and pecan fried have to be tried! The only down side was that the oysters were quite small and the portions for the cooked oysters were very small for the price. I did enjoy it but would not return because of the poor value.Parking: Parking is hard around here. Too many venues and not much parking.

Was in Corpus Christi for a convention and decided to drop by for Happy Hour, best decision I made. The Rockefeller and Fried oysters are the best.

Service was very disappointing.The waitress was not rude but could clearly tell she totally forgot about our table and took 2 hours to take out our food. 2 small sushi rolls and oyters. Drinks were okay but I wouldn't come back.

Parking: The parking lot looked 100% full but the valet somehow parked and retrieved our car very quickly.

Water Street Oyster Bar stands out as not only a staple but also the epitome of elegance in our city’s dining scene.From the moment you step inside, the calm and inviting ambience welcomes you, setting the stage for a memorable dining experience.We started with a dozen Blue Point oysters, each one bursting with freshness and flavor. The selection of local Gulf oysters and other varietals offered a delightful variety. Alongside, the shrimp picayune stole the show with its perfect balance of sweet and spicy flavors, accompanied by perfectly grilled toast points.For our main course, we indulged in the quick and satisfying poke bowl. Opting for the Lulu with yellowfin tuna and the Shoyu Salmon with Atlantic salmon, we were treated to a symphony of fresh flavors. From the succulent proteins to the crisp vegetables, every bite was a culinary delight.Water Street Oyster Bar has truly set the bar high for fine dining in our city, and it’s a place I’ll gladly return to for more unforgettable meals.
Went there for dinner and while waiting to be seated, my cousin was pushed by another customer and staff did not assist, we walked away to wait our turn and when we returned we were seated upstairs. She too our order for beverages and appetizers, 49 min later the waitress returned with waters and appetizers and informed us we would not be served alcoholic beverages because she felt uncomfortable. Maybe we were having too much fun but it was very degrading and the management did not help at all.Maybe the customer is always right only if you are the right shade of skin at this establishment. The manager would NOT provide her name to me and I will never ever return to that restaurant. We gladly gave our business to the new Fridas restaurant since seafood and alcohol were served everywhere else not just here. It was a very weird and hostile experience. I live up north never had I experienced racism like I did here. Disgusted by the way management handled our quiet complaint.

Took a lunch break during a beach visit, lured by the promise of varietal oysters. Today they had 2 Canadian oysters, a Maine variety and their own farmed oysters. We ordered a half dozen of each and we're happily surprised by the flavor. The drinks are delightful (salty dog and Venus were amazing) and their Mac and Cheese was amazing. The seafood tower was amazing and our server Lee took amazing care of us. Finished off with Pineapple cheesecake and Key Lime pie and they were both some of the best desserts I've had. It pulls it's weight amongst some of my favorite California seafood spots. A++.
