Corpus Christi

(From May 2011) On our most recent visit, we enthusiastically devoured both of the featured fish dishes, a roasted salmon filet and the signature Katz Snapper, adorned with grilled shrimp and lump crab. We did not ignore red meat, though. Steak is part of the name and a large part of Katz’s game—the finest-quality beef, properly seared and presented on sizzling hot plates. What more could you ask? Our only disappointment was the usually excellent Katz Meow appe-tizer of grilled shrimp, crab, and béarnaise with crisp toast points; the sauce was more paste-like than creamy. Bar.

You need to update your listing for Katz 21. They are not open for lunch at this time.

We try to arrive at this Southside fixture before the happy hour crowd does, attracted as they are by the conviviality, good food, and reasonable prices. The noise level quickly escalates in the central room, with its horseshoe-shaped bar, and is only somewhat attenuated in the two side rooms. Taking a cue from the name, we stuck with red meat and enjoyed a sliced beef tenderloin in five-peppercorn sauce and a good New York strip enhanced with a house marinade, both steaks grilled as ordered. A Caesar salad featured tender hearts of romaine and a dressing with a hint of anchovies, and a featured appetizer, hot Maine lobster dip—chunks of lobster floating in a three-cheese sauce served with a small, freshly baked loaf of dark bread—made a hearty beginning.

Each visit to this fine-dining venue, with its courteous service, interesting dishes, and elegant surroundings, reinforces our high opinion. We are always wowed by the perfect preparation of both red meat (like the tenderloin medallions with a Jack Daniels glaze) and seafood (like the lump crab cake with lobster-cognac sauce). Add an icy wedge salad, freshly baked bread, and wine, and you’re set. All the above, and inspiring views to boot, make this a great choice for a special meal. Bar.

We like this restaurant very much. The food is always well prepared and flavorful. Traditional food here, hearty, excellent steaks. The service in general is ok. We have had excellent service at times, but generally speaking it is only ok and a bit stuffy, which admittedly goes with the flavor of the place. We eat there several times a year.
