Seafood
Liberty Kitchen & Oysterette (LKRO) prides itself in it’s Oyster Bar. The multiple use seating at and around the Oysterette is inviting and friendly. The huge oyster, fresh seafood and whole fish display showcases seasonality and the vastness of the seafood offerings at LKRO. A traditional Japanese Robata Grill and a vertical 'Trompo' Grill are part of the Oysterette’s flexibility in a small space making the 'mini-kitchen' capable of producing freshly shucked oysters, grilled oysters, sushi, seafood towers and fresh carved tacos.

Moving into the main kitchen, the menu is just as wide and deep with a variety of local and regional seafood dishes and local Texas Beef. Our desire, as always, is to have a little something delicious for everyone and a menu for every palate as well as daily and weekly special features inspired by the bounty of available produce, meats and seafood in the Gulf Coast and beyond.

    Disappointing this time. After dining here & enjoying it for so long after so many years, last nite was a letdown. Our booth was a little warm, temperature-wise. But most problematic was the main course - the redfish & broccolini were soggy - there was a lot of water on the plate, which contributed to that. I was entertaining a business associate from Dallas & was sure she was underwhelmed, too. Hope it’s not a trend.

    We really enjoyed our dinner. The selection of food and the food itself were outstanding. I brought a friend in from out of town and he was thrilled as one could be. He had one of the specials which consisted of grilled snapper topped of with crabmeat etc. The atmosphere is very comfortable as is the seating. The waitstaff did an excellent job. Im sure you guys gained a fan. When he comes back I’m pretty sure I’ll be asked to go eat here again and try something else. Cheers🥃

    Very boring hotel omelet. In menu as have fried oysters. Had THREE and like I thought, soggy after folding into omelet. Coffee cold! Very bad "breakfast potatoes" oversalted steak fries might be better at a chain. Bloody Mary just mediocre. My husband has the shrimp and grits. Very very good. But $48 ! For brunch? Even $38 would have been too much. Brighter side - gorgeous restaurant,!

    My wife and I went for brunch on a Sunday for our Anniversary. We were seated immediately and the service was excellent. The food was excellent !!! Everything was delicious but the Shrimp and Colossal Crab Scampi was next level . The best seafood pasta dish I’ve experienced anywhere. We will definitely be back soon !!!!

    Arrived on time and was seated immediately. Excellent service by waiter. Ordered deviled eggs with chicken, fried oyster, shrimp and bacon relish. All were very forgettable. Egg had no seasoning - tasted like egg yolk and Mayo - nothing else. Toppings very bland. Had avocado and crab salad. Presentation was excellent and taste was great. Last dish was mussels. They were topped/mixed with sausage and clearly the sausage smelled like it was 2 days past spoiled and mussels were very fishy. We ate one each and returned the dish. I think the kitchen is overworked and not paying attention. 11:30 on a Sunday morning and you could tell it was frantic city. We’ll try once more but that’s only because it’s been much better in the past. Be ready to scream to your companion - it’s loud.

    Excellent seafood options with other menu items including hamburger and steak. Butter and cheese prominent in the preparation, so generally a French style of seafood cuisine. I had the Risotto special which is a mushroom risotto with grilled shrimp and scallops, all very tasty. The sea bass and halibut were also very good according to my companions. The price of the "specials" was too high in my view, at $70.00 a piece!

    4 friends out for dinner. Food was fantastic. I got the scallops and shrimp with mushroom risotto special. Our waiter was good and very nice. The only issue was the slow cocktail/wine delivery. Once I politely asked about the drinks and then wine they were delivered. Not sure if this is a service bar issue or what. Otherwise, a very nice time.
