   Took a while to receive simple bar requests, such as Bud Light in a cold glass. Many requests simply ignored. Fried chicken with mash was brought out cold and send back. Lots of work to be done on wait staff and filling simple bar orders.

   We had a great view, service, and food. I had the Shrimp and Grits, and my partner had. The Creole Omlet. It was a beautiful day for brunch.

   The booths in this place are ridiculous. Yes, ridiculous. Nobody wants to or can sit in them because they are built for teenagers who weigh 100 pounds. You. Need. To. Fix. This. Who wants to sit down and realize you are too big to sit in a booth? Really makes you want to sit down and eat. Bar service is slow. 10 minutes + to get a cocktail is ridiculous. This is the same as it was last time we went here about a year ago. When there’s like 10 people in the restaurant and we are the only ones drinking, I just don’t understand what takes so long. Waitress was not familiar with the wine list. No excuse. Ambience is nothing special and the bright led lights are doing you no favors. If you were fortunate to have great weather and could sit out on the expansive patio area and drink and watch the birds then I would consider returning. The hostess needs to up her game. Dress the part and actually do something besides sitting there and chatting with the other girl there who is being trained. Dinner menus not put on the table when it’s dinner is your fault and then when the waitress comes over to get one, giving her attitude when she asks for one is unacceptable because that was your job to put it on the table in the first place. Also hostess staff should not be eating at their workstation- c’mon! It’s not even busy. People aren’t allowed to take a break and eat? Ridiculous! The flatfish thermidor was the highlight. Nothing else we had is worth getting again. Bread not great and calamari was fine. I realize this is a 100% gluten free restaurant but it’s not for everyone. Gluten free food is not great for things that require breading and buns for burgers. The two guys across from us didn’t even eat their burgers and fries- guys not eating burgers and fries! Bottom line- up your game on the atmosphere and comfort level. Hostess staff should be attentive and professional. Most people don’t want gluten free food- they just don’t.

    Tried them a couple of times when they first opened after changing ownership and frankly it was a very bad experience each time. I recently noticed they had changed their menu so we decided to give them one more chance and I'm glad we did. The service and food were great. No more weird dishes that you have to Google to figure out what they are. We have been twice in the last couple of weeks and it was great both times. The prices are not anymore expensive than the other nice restaurants in the area and the portions are generous. Thank you for listening to your customers. The fried shrimp was excellent. We will be back for sure.

    The Lookout at Bluff's LandingResponded on February 10, 2023Thank you so much for the willingness to visit us once again. We certainly acknowledge that in our initial stages of opening we had some issues to work through and many team changes - we are sorry that we couldn't get your visits right sooner than we did. We truly appreciate your support and are so glad that you enjoyed your recent visit to us! We've been listening intently to our feedback! Very much hope to welcome you again soon!

    We were vacationing in Port Aransas and saw this restaurant on “Find Me Gluten-free”. After reading the reviews we had to check it out. Gluten free facility. I had fried shrimp for the first time in years. Cooked perfectly and twice the size of normal fried shrimp. The fries were light and tasty. We truly enjoyed the food, drinks and looking at the bay. We liked it so much we are returning tonight for our anniversary dinner.

    The Lookout at Bluff's LandingResponded on February 10, 2023We are delighted to hear that you found us on the gluten free app! Our GM is also celiac so fully understands the joy of being able to enjoy foods that you might not have been able to have for years! We hope to welcome you again soon!

    Very disappointed. Made a 7 o'clock reservation, arrived 10 min early. Was seated immediately. I am a patient patron but when there are wait staff including management walking around clueless to our presence, I draw the line. We sat 15 minutes with no acknowledgement. The manager offered an apology ONLY when I brought this to his attention. So surprised I was not offered some reconciliation for our inconvenience. Not very professional and WILL not be going back.

    A very good quiet find to escape the tourist-trap, down down fish eateries. Great view of the marina and gulf. Relaxing environment, but plenty of guests to keep the fun level up. Waits staff was great and very knowledgeable of the needs of my wife’s celiac precautions. My fried fish was fantastic and more than enough on my plate. There is now way to tell the difference from the traditional heat based breading on the fish from their gluten free version. Only a 30 minute drive from down town and well worth the drive.

    I was excited to return to The Lookout, and had talked it up quite a bit to the friend we brought to dinner with us. I’ll know better next time to keep my mouth shut.😒 It’s been a while since I had my food handler’s permit, and I’m just guessing here…but I’m thinking vaping is probably not allowed in the kitchen area, right? 🤔And if a glass accidentally broke behind the bar, after you’re done sweeping it up with the broom you’d never, ever lift it over the top of the bar to hand it to another employee to put up…you’d walk the broom and dustpan around the bar and put it where it belongs. Otherwise MAJOR contamination, right? And I would have asked to speak to the manager, but I’m pretty sure the gentleman with the blue hair (who had also just taken a big drag off his vape) that stopped by our table and asked “How’s everything this evening?” was the manager. SMH.

    Ate here when it initially opened and it was great. Recently went twice and will not be going back for sometime. Bottom line the food is alright, drinks are okay, price is a bit high but on par with other water front establishments. In the recent visit most people didn’t finish their food and some didn’t even finish the wine.

    Overall, we love this place. However, just a few suggestions -- 1.) fry your french fried longer. Mine were pale and limp. 2.) Offer bread as an option -- some of your yummy dishes need bread to soak up the goodness. 3.) Burger was over cooked and we never got the jalapenos we requested. Staff are excellent and appear to be trained well.

    Our server, Cody was great, attentive and thorough with some personal service that makes you feel welcomed as friend rather than a customer. Food is some of the best in town, the cocktails are up there too! We eaten about 2/3 of menu items and all I would eat again. The fresh made chips are a family favorite. The outside seating is perfect for conversations, quiet and nice.

    Server was kind, however it took nearly an hour for our dinner to be served, while other patrons who ordered well after us received their meals. We were given multiple conflicting reasons, and at no time did a manager address our concerns (uncertain if one was present). Meal was lukewarm when delivered. Special occasion dinner sadly turned into a negative experience.

    The food was sub-par and far over priced for what it was. You’re paying for the atmosphere, not for the food quality. Also, be prepared to wait 45 minutes for your main course to come out. This is not a quick moving kitchen and if you’re hungry, grab an appetizer! I ordered a Paloma and it was AWFUL! Do not recommend at all. The beer however was extremely cold and refreshing. This place does have extraordinarily beautiful view, but honestly, I feel like that’s all I paid for.

    Overpriced and overrated. Open table ratings showed this to have 4+ stars. I don’t know how. I’ve had better seafood at Red Lobster for almost half the price. Scenery was nice being on the water. That was about all this place had going for it.
