This place requires a reservation. We didn’t know. However, we lucked out because a table for two in the bar canceled so we got squeezed in. The food is exceptional. The owners know everyone in town, from what I saw. It is a good vibe, great food, and a very active social place. I loved the duck. It was cooked to perfection with an impeccable texture. The honey and Dijon glacé was brilliant. He loved his seafood spaghetti. The garlic bread was delicious.
We have been coming here for 25 years, and this is the best restaurant in Port A! But I have to be specific to the rack of lamb….it is absolutely the very best I have ever had. I have been fortunate to travel extensively for both work and leisure and have dinner in some of the best restaurants, but the Venetian Hot Plate’s rack of lamb has no peer!! Makes me want to run laps around the parking lot!
We love to eat here whenever we visit Port Aransas. It’s small but cozy. Reservations are highly encouraged. The food is fresh and delicious and the service is fabulous.
There is even a sign on the door saying noisy children will not be tolerated. Unfortunately I do not think the sign is enforced as there was a loud child screeching constantly while we were there. Since the room is so small it does echo a bit so it made it difficult to converse.
