Lisabella's Bistro and Bar

Lisabellas is the best seafood or surf and turf you can find. Come here with expectations to hangout and good food.

Delicious food and great atmosphere when visiting. I recommend the mermaid soup and airline chicken. The pasta and crab cakes I also tried was delicious.
Our large group sat inside, call ahead to reserve. Additional outside seating with live band and clean wheelchair accessible restroom.

Amazing!!!

Best bartender ever she was very attentive and super nice
Food was outstanding

I took my husband and 3 teens here for dinner for my husband's birthday. I called for reservations early afternoon on a Tuesday and they were able to accommodate us that evening. I actually chose this restaurant as my husband's favorite meal is scallops and carrot cake for dessert, which the online menu shows they offer. Unfortunately, they were out of scallops and had since replaced the carrot ginger cake for key lime pie. :(. Well, the alternatives did not disappoint and we were able to laugh about it.

Our server was sweet and wonderful but the service itself was quite slow. We waited quite some time for drink orders, so long that we ended up ordering our drinks, app and dinners all at the same time. The tables that we saw were motly full when we arrived and we had to wait as they prepared our reserved table.

For food, we had the Texas Chevre as an app (wonderful), Wild Jumbo Gulf Shrimp, Airline Chicken, Red Snapper, the Filet and a Caesar salad. Everything was exceptional except too much dressing on the salad so maybe ask for it on the side. Airline Chicken was exquisite and my husband forgot about scallops, because his favorite side is risotto with which this came. The Gulf Shrimp were cooked to perfection and it were so light but flavorful, perfectly paired with spinach and pasta. The red snapper was gone in seconds so not sure how that tasted, and the steak was cooked to perfection. The Hallelujah Chocolate cake a la mode and the Key Lime pie were to die for. The quantities were perfect for most of us, with one of my teens commenting he is more about quantity than quality so we all shared ours with him. Afterwards, everyone was talking about how wonderful the meals were and how they appreciated the flavors when they actually slowed down.

We splurged and knew the prices going in so it wasn't a shock. It is expensive, but the flavors are worth it. We tried to rationalize with our kids the $12 added cost for a shared plate, the credit card surcharge, and various other add-on charges. I just said, running a business is hard, especially a food service business.

The online menu needs updating (offerings and prices), there are opportunities for improving the service time, but overall, this is the best food I have had in the Corpus/Port A area.

Food was delicious!

Two of the 3 dishes came out cold. Spinach was not edible. Service good and they comped one meal which was nice. But so hoping that the food, esp at that price point, would have been better.

Had a mini Spring Break getaway at Cinnamon Shore. Had a chance to dine at Lisabellas and service from Kirsten B. Everything was fantastic!

Kids Pasta and Cheeseburgers

Not sure how much we will make it to C-Shore but this place is def a must try!

We ordered oysters and crab cakes for appetizers and they were great! For the main course I ordered a steak, and lump crab meat. When my meal arrived, the steak was cold and the crab meat was missing. I waited for 30 minutes before we could get someone to the table to help. Once the manager arrived he asked me if I wanted him to heat up the steak. You don’t heat up steaks, that’s why you choose your temperature. After two hours I finally recieved a warm steak and the crab that I ordered. The manager was rude and didn’t care. As the premier restaurant at Cinnamon Shore, I would expect better.

In regard to response, I emailed you.

Great but pricey

It was so enjoyable to dine instead of the usual and plentiful restaurants locally to eat at. The tables were spaced well, the greeter was welcoming, the menu was straight forward and the special was well described. I had the special, and wanted to lick the plate! The environment is well appointed, and tastefully appointed, not over done on the beach vibe! Recommend reservation.

The fish is good, but do not get the filet steak. The cuts are cheap and not what you would expect for $60.00. This place is overrated and only popular because of location.

Very sub par food for the steep price point. Disappointing overall. For being a seafood place you would expect much higher quality. Waiter offered “bread for the table” and then proceeded to charge us for an appetizer of garlic bread. Excuse me?
