Coastline Bistro - Corpus Christi

The Coastline Café is an excellent dining spot in downtown Corpus Christi. Conveniently situated within the Omni Hotel, it's perfect for both guests and locals who work or live in the city center. The atmosphere is relaxed and welcoming, making it easy to strike up a conversation with interesting people. The breakfast buffet offers a solid variety of options, which is surprisingly affordable given the hotel's upscale reputation. The coffee is fresh and served hot, and the bagels are delicious. Beyond breakfast, there are numerous choices for a cozy lunch and satisfying dinner, featuring a straightforward American menu designed to please a wide range of tastes.

During my stay at the Holiday Inn Marina, I visited the breakfast buffet at the hotel restaurant, Coastline Bistro. The buffet was excellent, featuring a fantastic variety of delicious food. The service was also excellent.

We decided to dine at this restaurant for dinner since we didn’t want to leave the hotel. Dinner is served from the bar rather than the café. We both ordered the fish tacos, and they were fantastic! The fish was grilled instead of fried, and the pico de gallo and crema were fresh. The portion size was also quite good for the price. The service was excellent as well, though it was a quiet night.

I went to bed hungry after my experience at this bar/restaurant. I ordered food because I was in a hurry to eat and get to bed. I waited, had a beer, and then waited some more. I even had another beer while watching others around me receive their meals. Out of curiosity, I asked for my bill after 40 minutes. Yes, it took 40 minutes, and when the bill arrived, it only included the beer. My food order was never placed. Frustrated, I decided to go to bed hungry.

Stopped in for lunch on a Monday. Literally the only people in the restaurant. Ordered burgers and sliders. It took forever. Since we were the only order up, it shouldn't have taken that long. The food was actually very good. The buffalo sauce on the sliders was a winner. All the guys liked their burgers. Some of the tea glasses and coffee cups on the table were nasty. Two guys actually cleaned the rim on their tea glasses before they would drink out of them. All food was overpriced but that's because of the location. It was good but won't be back.
