Elizabeth's at the Art Museum

We had a wonderful birthday brunch for my wife at Elizabeth’s in Corpus Christi. The menu is super creative, and every dish felt fresh and thoughtfully put together. The vibe was relaxed, the service was great, and the food absolutely delivered. It ended up being the perfect spot to celebrate — my wife loved it, and we’ll definitely be back. Highly recommend Elizabeth’s for anyone looking for something delicious and a little different.

We were both very eager to dine here, but ultimately disappointed with the food and service. Despite a reservation, we still waited in a line to be seated for over 30 minutes. Additionally, a couple that came in 10 minutes after us got sat 10 minutes before us (I’m not sure if they also had a reservation or not). I only saw two servers for 15+ tables. If that’s the case, then reservations should not be accepted, and new tables should not be seated if they are short-staffed — max 5–6 tables per server typically. The tuna was tough and had a strong fishy taste. The poached eggs were undercooked and snotty. And they claim to serve “Moroccan mint tea,” which I was so excited to enjoy; however, they need to rename it to green tea! That is the furthest thing from Moroccan tea and quite insulting actually. This was green tea with a single mint leaf for decoration. Moroccan mint tea is so delicious! It’s made of a large handful of fresh mint only and served with sugar cubes — it is unimaginably good and nothing like you’ve had before (nothing like boxed mint tea either). The Turkish coffee, again, was not made correctly! It was so watered down and weak!! It had no hint of cardamom either. In Corpus, you can get authentic Turkish coffee from Ratana and Ginger Cafe! My husband said the lamb sausage was very gamey, and the ponzu sauce for the tuna was essentially soy sauce. My cup was also dirty when served to me. The only upside is Paige was very friendly and, despite being very busy, managed to check in on us throughout our meal. And the view, of course, is beautiful outside. However, inside, the noise volume is irritating, and the sound bounces from every direction sounding like a crowded cafeteria — my server had to nearly yell. Fortunately, she let us move outside.

One of the BEST restaurants I have ever been to. Food, service, view, literally everything is amazing. Isaac is the best server! We will definitely come back!!

The food was bland, we ordered the flat bread and it was not seasoned. The flat bread its self was bland u can tell there was no salt in the flat bread when they made it. Just really bland. When they gave me my plate it was dirty it had somthing suck on it. See pictures. The view is top tier.

Lovely setting right by the water, we saw frolicking dolphins and flitting seabirds. Breeze beautiful day, delicious brunch meal. The blistered shishitos were great, maybe ask for some finishing salt. Crusty focaccia was amazing and you need to try the sticky toffee pudding! Highly recommend!

Super cute spot to have brunch while downtown. Located inside art museum. I had Turkish Eggs with Lamb Sausage 4 stars, brunch all day flatbread was really good!! Overall the location and views make it 5 stars for me.

Elizabeth’s is one of Corpus Christi’s many hidden gems. Great food, friendly staff, and a view better than any restaurant I’ve EVER been in!

Fantastic lunch at Elizabeth's in the Corpus Christi Art Museum. Glorious day, amazing company, great service from Issac. The tabbouleh salad and sticky toffee pudding were amazing. The Venetian cocktail was exquisitely refreshing.

One of the best restaurants in Corpus !! Food - amazing. Service - also amazing. Views - best in Corpus! My fam came into town, and we decided to give Elizabeth's a try! We didn't have a reservation but were quickly seated outside. Would recommend making a reservation if you want to avoid the heat, but we enjoyed the scenic water and occasional breeze. We shared some dishes from the brunch and regular menu: 1. Fritto misto, who knew fried lemon would be good? Perfectly fried, and cool assortment of veggies and seafood 2. Cheese saganaki 3. Shakshula 4. Turkish eggs w/ lamb sausage 5. Dip trio in order from most fav to least fav, but everything was good! Would highly recommend eating here and checking out the adjacent art museum!

What an incredible surprise nestled in the corner of the Art Museum of South Texas looking out on the bay was the perfect environment for a stop before heading into the museum galleries to see a huge installation of modern and historical fine art by many well known artists. The menu is somewhat limited but everything looked like it would be special, and my Mediterranean shrimp in a sumptuous spicy sauce took me back to my days of travel to Europe. The bread was a perfect compliment as I used it to not miss any of the sauce. If you want select your meal from a unique lunch menu, want an outstanding environment and seek some of the best food in the Coastalp Bend you won't go wrong with Elizabeth's! Wow!

Tasty drinks and Shared Plates. Great atmosphere! Staff very attentive and suggested areas to visit! Let's start with the Breadboard a must. Artesian breads and dipping oils, Ahi tuna Crudo for summer, flatbread (pizza) Presto, Holly Golightly and Siren on the Rocks two must try drinks. Will be back!

Such a great place to have lunch or brunch. Great view of bay outside, very eclectic decor inside that's also relaxed. Was sat almost as soon as we walked in the door with no reservation for lunch. Sincere was great. Gave us spot on recommendations for food, was quick with the drinks. The Sangria of the Season is it!!! Ordered 2 items that Sincere suggested then was also surprised with a lavender sangria, apparently the bartender made an extra and Sincere insisted to bring it to the table. The Casablanca flatbread that my husband got was out of this world and the devils on horseback were a phenomenal surprise, bacon was super crispy and a great offset to the goat cheese wrapped in dates with a balsamic glaze over. Everything was freshly made and stylish. I will always recommend people to go here. Menu changes every few months with the season. A definite place to try in Corpus

Great service and delicious food with a beautiful view. Loved everything we ordered! Highly recommend. Can't wait to go back!

Amazing food with a nice view of the USS Lexington. It took a while to get the cheque but the place got super busy! Its kind of interesting having to walk through an art gallery to go to a restaurant but it's worth it. I had the saint tropez and we opened up with a dip trio. Perfect and light.

I want to say this is the best restaurant in town! Great view, nice services. They have a simple food menu but the view is amazing! I would love to come back here if I am in town.

Our favorite lunch spot in the coastal bend. Delicious food, beautiful setting. Wish they were open for dinner again, though the waiter said they might do pop-ups.

Amazing hidden Gem in Corpus Christi !!!! Been looking for nice restaurant on water with awesome views !!! Location is kinda hidden inside Art Museum. Issac waited on us and he was Absolutely Incredible !!! We had Hummus/ Pita Bread . Devil Horseback Bacon wraps so delicious. My wife had Lamb Burger and I had Chicken Wrap. All food fresh and delicious. Service from Staff 5 Star. Breathtaking Views of Corpus Christi Bay !!! I will definitely be back !! Incredible Experience !!!

It is a great place to enjoy the water view of Corpus Christi Bay. The food was delicious, and the staff was friendly and took the time to explain the meals on the menu. The best part was the gentleman who stopped by every table to engage the customers.

Great restaurant - delicious food, friendly staff and with the most beautiful view! Restaurant is a little tricky to find - we had to go inside the museum beyond the gift shop. Menu is small but everything sounded great! We opted for a mixture of brunch and lunch. Highly recommend!!

Absolutely loved the whole experience. Food and drinks were great! The menu was just the tapas experience we were hoping for. Wait staff was also great.

The service and the view were fantastic. Unfortunately, the options for vegans were few and subpar. I ordered the hummus, which came with naan. The naan was not vegan so I ordered a serving of focaccia. The hummus was beautifully plated but lacked flavor. I am a huge fan of hummus so that was disappointing. I think my friend also felt it was lacking because after tasting it, he asked the server for salt and pepper. The focaccia was beautiful but also lacked flavor except for the huge salt chunks on top. The hummus ($9) and focaccia ($1) were not worth it for me. But it is a lovely place to eat with wonderful service.

Try to eat at a place at least 5 times before I review. This place started at five stars food, ambiance and service. Sadly on my last visit they were out of lamb any and all bread and desserts. I got the Caesar salad added chicken, chicken was dry and off tasting and salad was tiny. The other person in my party got a wrap and was very soggy had to disassemble and eat like a salad. The food has steadily declined, hopefully they can get the food back to par because I love the location.

Food was amazing. Smaller plates but prices are reasonable. Waitress was attentive and friendly, sat by a great view on the water looking at the aircraft carrier. The bacon wrapped dates and burrata were really good. If this was closer to me I'd be here weekly. I got the Turkish coffee it was good but basically normal coffee. Maybe that's my fault

Service was great! I loved all the food I tried was delicious. Not to mention the most beautiful view!

What a view!! This is truly a gem, come eat here as fast as you can! We had shrimp campechana, smashed avocado, burrata, devils on horseback (my fave), and Italian torte. Everything was made fresh to order and was full of flavor. The service was friendly, informative of the menu items, happy to take a photo of us (which is always nice), and prompt. Fantastic place and I will definitely be back!!

Excellent restaurant with a waterfront view! This was a standout from all the restaurants we tried while in Corpus Christi. It's located inside of the Art Museum, and is cute and quaint. The staff is very friendly too. It's a scratch kitchen and the food is top notch. Most options are small plates/tapas style that can be shared between 2 people. They also serve brunch menu items which are a single serving. Our favorites: Drinks: Venetian lemonade and sangria Small plates: hummus, devil on horseback (bacon wrapped dates) , patatas bravas, the torte, and the shrimp campechana. There were more items we wanted to try as the menu reads so well. We'll save those for our next visit.

Stop by the main entrance of the Art Museum of South Texas, and tell them you want to visit Elizabeth's. You can choose to make a reservation, but we walked in since it was a Wednesday afternoon. It is a Mediterranean style restaurant with tapas-style meals meant to be shared. One of the best restaurants in Corpus Christi by far! I ordered a refreshing Venetian Lemonade, then the homemade hummus came out, the Casablanca flat bread, then the Devils on Horseback. The server was friendly and she knew the menu to answer your questions. The restaurant had great decor with amazing views of the water and USS Lexington from the windows. Definitely recommend!

First of all, the food here is absolutely spectacular. What we had exceeded expectations and I would highly recommend. The ambience is beautiful and relaxing. There was even a wedding proposal while we were there. However, I hope the front end of the restaurant catches up with the kitchen and location. I called ahead about an allergy and got one set of information. Upon arriving, I got a different set of information. Then the chef came out and cleared up the confusion. My first two Turkish coffees came with complementary lipstick on the cup. One member of our party, waited 20 minutes longer for their food than anyone else at the table. Then they left the Burata Cheese entree off our to-go order. All in all, I think this place has a lot of promise once a few issues get resolved.

Attended a baby shower at Elizabeth's in their side room, it was really fu!! I don't want to judge them on their event food, but 5 stars on the service!

Food was great, food took a while I couldn't tell if it was the service or the normal time for things. It definitely was worth the wait!

Worst meals ever. Spoiled hamburger and old dried out chicken sandwiches. Three out of four meals not good. Manager apologized and admitted there were issues in the kitchen. Thought he would make it right and were very disappointed! Never going back.

Oh my stars! Don't miss the bread board. The focaccia is the best I have ever had. We enjoyed tabbouleh grain bowls off the lunch menu which were fresh with just the right amount of veggies and lemony yogurt. You can also get tapas-style plates to be shared. The service was wonderful and the view of the bay is amazing. You can see the docked USS Lexington and large container ships passing through the channel. We almost didn't walk in because it is hidden in the art museum. But you may pass through the entrance right into the restaurant. How fun to discover a Mediterranean treasure in Corpus Christi!

Food was not good at all. The salad was not edible and the lamb burger did not taste like lamb. Service is great! Amazing views!

Elizabeth's brunch was awesome! Great service (thank you Jules!!), great food, beautiful atmosphere on the water and fabulous decor. Loved everything about it and can't wait to go back.

The food is fresh, the menu creative and the atmosphere is modern with incredible views. The cocktail menu is excellent. If the place were larger and open more frequently I would suggest adding more wines their wine menu. The service was not rushed which I appreciate. Definitely one of the best restaurants in CC and the museum is fantastic!

If you want a amazing meal with a amazing view this is the place. I had the Levatine lunch special $9 should be $14. The staff is super friendly and fast. The view over looking the bay is peaceful.

I visited Elizabeth's for lunch in March while on Spring Break in Corpus Christi and absolutely loved it! We only found the restaurant because we visited the Water Street Oyster Bar and I believe they are sister restaurants. The restaurant is located in the museum and the atmosphere is beautiful. It sits right on the water and it feels like you are in a Mediterranean oasis. We came right when it opened and didn't have to wait, but the restaurant filled up fairly quickly. You can call ahead to put your name down. We ordered the Hamachi Crudo, the Homemade Hummus, and the Casablanca flatbread for two. Each dish was delicious and we each tried 2 cocktails which were also good. I really enjoyed their version of a bloody mary. I thought the za'atar rim was a nice touch. We also ordered the Warm Sticky Toffee Pudding, which I highly recommend for dessert. Overall, this was an incredible experience for a nicer lunch experience on the water. If I'm ever in the area again, I will definitely come back.

This place is a solid 5 out of 5. Their seasonal toast is a flavor explosion. Sour dough bread. Fried egg. Chimichurri sauce. Avocado. And more. You've got to try it for yourself. The Bloody Mary was a wonderful way to start my day. It had a crispy olive, salami and hunk of cheese for garnish. Beautiful presentation. The Turkish coffee was its own experience. Sweet. Solid. Caffeinated. I sat at the bar as I was solo. The craftwomanship behind the cocktails was an art all its own. The wait staff worked cohesively and were extremely professional. I'll be back for my birthday next month even though it'll be a two hour drive from my house. Well worth it.

Service was wonderful! In such a beautiful location and designed so well. The food was AMAZING!! We can't wait to go back!

Brunch birthday party! Not pictured but the potatoes!!!! Patatas bravas do yourself a favor and order those. The shashuka was delightful. Wonderfully poached eggs. Each girl found something to enjoy. The view cannot be beat. Watching the ships enter the channel is more exciting than I anticipated. Will return asap!

What a relaxing atmosphere! Loved the cute little restaurant! The views were amazing. The service was excellent! The waiter was very helpful since we had never been here before. Every dish was so good. Our favorites were the Devil on Horseback and the Shrimp Campechana. We will definitely be back when we visit Corpus again!

A great place for tapas and a fun lunch with friends. We tried several plates and everything was good...you won't be disappointed. You can enjoy a nice view of the water and if you're lucky, dolphins!

Great selection of small bits but no option for (my) little kids. The flatbread were delicious. The deserts were also very good

We went here for lunch while our son was competing at SkillsUSA. We sat on patio, which was nice. Beautiful spring day and nice view. We ordered two Caesar salads and the naan bread with dips. The salad was ok- not very big for $10 - disappointing as I'm vegetarian and was hopeful for a nice big salad. The naan and dips was very good. Service was slow but friendly staff. They just seemed understaffed. The meal was price for the amount of food. For Corpus, it's a nice restaurant but definitely give more salad. It's the difference of 5 cents.

We had a company Christmas party there last night, and I have never had better food at an event that pre-makes the dishes than I did last night. Everything was perfect temperature, had a perfect balance of flavor, and the bar staff was very knowledgeable. Instead of picking a specific wine I asked for certain notes and she was able to give me two options that I narrowed down to my drink of the night. I'm very impressed!

Elizabeth's is my favorite place for birthday lunches! Call ahead for reservations and ask for window seating. There is also outside seating available. I love seeing the giant ships pass by the windows. The food is very good with an interesting variety. And the bread!!!! Oh my goodness, the breads are fabulous! Flatbread, Levatine, and Mashed Avocado are all delicious! Great list of cocktails to choose from. You won't be disappointed!

Nice ambience and views to the ocean. The food is underwhelming and disappointing from texture to flavor. The presentation wasn't bad. I guess people go only for the views.

Great little spot right on the water! It's small so you should make reservations if you want to go although they were able to take us without one. I loved the breakfast all day flatbread but the crepes Suzette didn't have the right texture for crepes. We will definitely be back to try more things though!

Can't say enough good things about this place! Food was perfectly presented and cooked to perfection as well. Service was attentive, friendly and professional. These folks checked every box for a fine dining experience and I can't wait to go back next time I'm in Corpus Christi.

This place is one of the cutest places I have seen in Corpus. The food is delicious- very influenced by Mediterranean cuisine. I entered through the art museum. Our server was very kind

Great views of the bay and the USS Lexington! Watch the big barges roll through. Nestled in the Art Museum, this hidden gem offers amazing tapas style brunch items. I had the flatbread with Brie, strawberries, bacon and mint. It did not diaappoint. Nor did the mashed avocado served with a pear in adobo compote and crumbled cotija. Amazing! My son got the shakshuka which was also incredible. Friendly service and a great atmosphere!

This cafe is such a treat! Visited for lunch and the menu is perfect, lite and original. Love to seat outside and watch the ships and barges come in and out of the harbor. The service provided by David, Jewel and Isaac was excellent; attentive, friendly, overall pleasant. Highly recommend the Fall Sangria drink, very tasty.

Today was our 5th time to eat here... it is such a nice place! The view is awesome! The food... well it is good, BUT, the menu never changes? What? Yes. I will need to take a break for quite some time.

While the atmosphere is very modern, relaxing and a great view I found the sangria to lack taste. It was more like a fruit punch. The gyro like sandwich lacked taste. However, the hummus and pita bread were delicious. I spent 28.00 on the sangria and sandwich, which was pricey for a lunch meal. Rating a 3 due to atmosphere alone.

Great food! Great staff and great venue. If you love middle eastern and Mediterranean food with fresh bread, garlic, olive oil, and spice this is the best place in Corpus Christi! I've only gone for the weekend brunch menu and have always left satisfied . To start the naan bread and humus are great and the patata frita is a must. I always order shakushuka with added spice. Love this place!

Food was good! We went there for dinner and the view was amazing! I definitely recommend the devils on horseback! Our waitress was very nice too!

What a hidden gem. Wonderful view of the bay of Corpus Christi. Food is eclectic. Good food. Be sure you make reservations because the place is small.
