One of the best meals I’ve ever eaten.
This is the place you want to find on your summer beach vacation. Incredible food, excellent service and a laid-back, non-fussy atmosphere. Crab cakes are out of this world. Great tuna appetizer. Red snapper was one of the best and the flounder special (coconut rum sauce and pistachios) is one of the best fish dishes I've ever had. Nice bar and wine list. Make reservations and GO!
A great gem tucked away in Port A. Small so make reservations.

The Phoenix Restaurant & Bar in Port Aransas offers a wonderful atmosphere, food, and service. Known for its excellent seafood, the menu features items like halibut, crab cake, sheepshead, and the highly recommended tuna stack, which some customers describe as absolutely fantastic and refreshing. The portions are generous, and the setting includes outdoor seating with beautiful sunset views. The restaurant also has a slight Japanese flair, adding amazing new flavors to the menu. Service is friendly and fast, with Emily and other staff receiving praise for their attentiveness. However, some visitors find the indoor atmosphere to be noisy and somewhat utilitarian, making it less ideal for a quiet romantic dinner. Although dessert options, like the coconut cream pie, may not impress everyone, dishes such as the triple tail fish with coconut and pistachio sauce and the Thai curry scallops are often highlighted as exceptional. It's important to note that, despite online listings, sushi is not served at this establishment. Overall, the Phoenix continues to be a popular choice for those seeking quality seafood prepared with care, and many guests express a desire to return.
