Ara's Seafood & Steaks

Temporarily closed?

I eat a lot of steaks I’ve had them all over the world I know a trash cut when it’s brought out to me that being said the ribeye was lacking not worth $45.00 it was an 23.00 steak at best = to chili’s . I tried my girlfriend’s burger that was good but the steak was not what I was expecting at 45.00

Went for Valentines. I had reservations and seating was fine. It would of been nice when I called and asked if anything was special for Valentines, that they could of said it was a limited menu. So we waited for 10 minutes before service just to be told it was only a limited menu. I understand but, kinda frustrating, so we just left. I didn't want to spend money on what I didn't want. We might try it sometime, maybe.

We have dined at this restaurant a few times since moving to Corpus Christi 7 months ago. Our previous experiences have been great and we enjoyed our dinner. We came in tonight and they had a limited menu, understandable ( it’s Valentine’s Day) they weren’t super busy however the food (understandably)took a long time. Our steaks were undercooked the shrimp and sides were room temperature not understandable. The meals were sent back only to come back tough & still room temperature. We left without eating and still spent $90. Do yourself a solid and go somewhere else.

Really good European style food!

Superb food but simple ambiance. Note this review is for the dining room, not the event center. They have a full bar and an event center that is often used on weekends. Great selection of seafood and some European dishes like the Schnitzel and Goulash. Crab cakes were delish with great temperature and taste. The clam chowder was a plus. Has happy hour from Wed-Sat. Kids menu had a lot of choices. Server was very attentive and top notch. The dining room has a lot of tables but it has a simple ambiance with tables and chairs. Would definitely come back! Parking: Free parking lot for the strip mall. If there is a large event in the event room, parking may be more limited. Kid-friendliness: Many options on the kids menu. Ambiance is a plain.

Good service but terrible atmosphere
