They were able to accommodate a last-minute reservation for around 35 people, and when we arrived the area was already cleared and prepared for us with staff on standby ready to assist. The food was absolutely amazing, and the customer service was top-notch—patient, courteous, and so attentive. I am beyond grateful for the wonderful service and experience we had celebrating such a special day. Thank you all for doing such an amazing job! Highly recommend!“

Here today; gone TAMALE! Best tamales in town (so far). These sell out fast prior to holidays, especially Christmas. Regular pork are our favorites. Spicy are too hot.

“During our return home, we decided to pass through Corpus Christi and stop for breakfast in continuation of my mom’s birthday weekend.

We happened upon this jewel of a place and was initially attracted to the view from the restaurant and the buffet/menu options.

We were seated fairly quickly in a private area inside of the restaurant, which had an amazing view of the water!

Gina immediately jumped into action serving us until our waiter could make it to our table. Needless to say…the waiter never made it.

Gina took on the role as the server and made our time there so special! She brought my mom a birthday gift from the Omni family…listened to every detail of the things we wanted and needed and executed it to perfection!!!! I CANNOT say enough about her! The food was amazing and all staff were friendly.

As a previous hospitality professional and my husband being a current hospitality professional, this is the type of warmth and service that needs to be copied and pasted every where. Gina is a jewel and I hope she is recognized for her service.“
