Lisabella's Bistro and Bar

We celebrated my birthday at LisaBella’s with a party of eight, and Stacy made the evening wonderful! She was friendly, attentive, and handled our large group with ease. She kept everything running smoothly, made sure we had everything we needed, and helped make my birthday feel extra special.

The food was delicious, and the service was outstanding. Thank you, Stacy, for helping make it such a memorable celebration!

The food was good, however, our waitress Stacie ruined our experience. She was very rude from the get go. She had a terrible attitude the whole time. Would not return solely because of her.

The restaurant had a cute and comfortable atmosphere and the food was tasty, however our waitress ruined our experience. From the moment our group walked in I could tell the waitress had already made her assumptions before approaching our table. At the end of the meal we received our ticket and requested to split the bill between the individuals to which our waitress (Stacy) confirmed they could not split the check individually but only 50:50, which is completely fine but the way she provided her explanation was completely disrespectful and unprofessional. We combated with “that would have been nice to know whenever we first sat down” and she replied completely disrespectfully that we did not make that a point at the beginning. We had no problem paying for the ticket in full or 50:50 but the way the waitress (Stacy) address the matter was very distasteful and as I said ruined our experience at the end. We are on vacation with our family and are very disappointed with the way the situation was handled. The food was good and the restaurant was decorated very cutely and with comfort.

My husband and I had our wedding reception here in June this year. Kris made the whole process so easy and we absolutely got bang for our buck, very reasonably priced for the amazing service, food, and drink. We had a wedding of about 60 and most people we talked to said that it was the best wedding food they have had. Kris let us come in early in the day to set up, and let us break everything down the next morning.
Must orders: Mermaid soup, red snapper, and creme brulee
This place is so special to us and we can't wait to come back whenever we visit Port Aransas!

Lovely, start to finish. Quiet enough to speak. Good, though not overbearing, service. Magnificent steak. I left it to the chef to determine doneness and they did not disappoint. That was, without exception, the best tenderloin I've ever had. A little pricey, but worth every cent.

Absolutely amazing! Food was out of this world delicious. My husband is super picky and asked for blackened chicken breast served with their lemon pasta and was blown away with its combined flavor. He left expressing how it should be put in the menu. Kirsten was our server and served well. Our reservation was for 7 1/5 at 8pm, food was not served till 930 but Kirsten handled it well. Will definitely be back. Thank you!
Also for those who have little ones, have no worries. They will fit right in.

Food was perfect and a small but unique menu filled with plenty of choices. All the food was full of flavor. Appetizers were perfect and and ask as out the daily special. We had the Sunlight Pasta and Whole Flounder as entrees and you have to check out the mermaid soup.

Recommended dishes: Garlic Bread, Spinach Salad, Sunlight

Lovely evening enjoying delicious food! We had a reservation for two at the bar & really liked the vibe. Jazz music, cool people & a refreshing cocktail got us started. We ordered the Jumbo Gulf Shrimp & Lobster Enchiladas. The shrimp dish was prepared & seasoned perfectly. It included 6 very large shrimp, paneed & paired with a lemony butter sauce, pasta & spinach. Every component complimented the other & it was oh sooooo tasty! The Lobster Enchiladas sounded different so we were excited to give them a try. Stuffed with plenty of lobster, the sauce was very good but the amount of cheese was a bit too much, taking away from the delicate sweetness of the lobster. It was spicy, sweet & cheesy all at the same time which over complicated the dish. We wouldn't order this again but with that said, the couple sitting next to us had amazing steaks so that may be our direction next time. Overall a very nice evening & we'll definitely be back. Suggest you give it a try!

My husband and I really enjoyed the dinner here. Atmosphere was nice. My husband had the duck entrée and I had the shrimp with the spinach and the twirl of pasta. Really good.

Our server was wonderful and the food was delicious.
We made our reservation over a week ahead for 6 and then added 8 more on the Tuesday before, I understand changing a reservation and a party of 14 in a smaller venue can be harder to accommodate but was assured it was not a problem. We made a reservation for the them to be able to move around and we wouldn't have to spend the entire meal managing their behavior. Our request wasn't honored.
The hostess refused to let us speak to a manager and was very rude. There were empty tables outside but they would not combine them to accommodate us.
She said other people had requested them. When I explained we had also requested outside, she threatened to give our table away all together. She said our table was ready indoors and we could either sit or leave. I've rarely dealt with a more unpleasant person.
And as it was, we spent the meal, managing small children, and running to and from the restroom through the entire restaurant, which I understand is our job as parents, but we tried to plan ahead so it would have been an enjoyable experience. Again, food was delicious and our server was wonderful. Lack of management involvement and a horribly rude host ruined the evening for us.

The food was simply ok. I had the crab cakes with a side Caesar salad. My husband had a salad and the vegetable plate. All items were just ok, nothing to write home about. The service was great though. On a Friday night, reservations were expected but the patio was available. Atmosphere is casual.

Lisabellas is the best restaurant on the island. The chef knows exactly what he’s doing. He comes to check on the table and how the food is. The wait staff is fantastic. The vibes are on point. Do yourself a favor and come here, you won’t be disappointed.

Did not get to visit. They were closed for private event. No notice. Nothing on the website. This was during Port A Restaurant Week. We were really looking forward to trying this place. Very disappointed.
