First of all, make sure the restaurant is open. They close during the winter. Okay, now that you know they're open. I visited the Yardarm during a business trip to Corpus Christi. I asked a local where I could get a nice meal of local, fresh fish. He suggested the Yardarm. The location is by the water. It's in an... More

The soup & salad that come with the meal are nothing special but the entrees were terrific! The service was also superb. Much nicer than any p.ace in town. Definitely recommended if you're passing through Corpus. More

The Yardarm is a small yellow and blue building that is located on the bay side of Ocean Drive. It's appearance immediately reminds you of a New England style seaside cottage. The dining area by the windows gives you a great view of the bay. The food here is always excellent. The menu is very heavy on non-fried seafood, although... More

You're probably either going to love it or hate it. It's a run down place in an old house with a hostess who will scare you with her frown. Ten of us had dinner beginning at about 9:00 p.m. The place was packed. Our server was excellent. He served every dish, bussed every plate, got all the orders right, served... More

To start with, they managed to screw up all four of our orders. To start with, they did not serve my brother in law's order correctly, they left the condiments on top of the fish. When it was returned, they did not re-fire it, only scraped it off. They serve my wife the wrong fish altogether. The tuna for my... More

Review comments in reference to other ignorami here: http://www.urbanspoon.com/r/119/883867/restaurant/Yardarm-Restaurant-Corpus-Christi. Before reading, you must know that I am well travelled, and have lived in no less than 10 places (To include 8 states and 2 countries). In other words, "I know what I am talking about". Most, if not all of the negative reviews are misguided, if not flat out wrong.... More

How did we not eat here sooner?! Such a big regret. Great ambiance, which is hard to find in this town. Beautiful view, we were seated inside, but right on the water (it was too windy to be on the deck). Our waitress was very attentive and asked the chef questions for us multiple times. We loved all the food... More

Drove all the way down from Ft Sam because fellow Soldiers recommended it, place was empty except for staff, had reservation, not on list, host was rude and cocky! Told they were booked yet there were only 4 people in the place. Ordered a drink on the deck in the rain! Not a Veteran Friendly place, staff just sat around... More

We came early but they wouldn't give us a table even though the place was empty. They told us we had to sit outside in rainy weather because they were booked solid. We called and made a reservation for six people five minutes later. When we left eating our desserts the place still empty. Way to treat a service member... More
