About the Restaurant

The dress is country casual, but the food is fashionably classy; the meal is highlighted by the unexpected flavor phenomena that customers expect in a fine dining establishment. The menu has enough variety to please everyone, making it a great place to stop when you are out exploring the many historic sites, sightseeing opportunities and shopping spots the area has to offer.

The restaurant's interior is rich with Texas country appointments in cedar, cowhide, white linen and lace curtains. Paintings by artist Ken Turner and other locals adorn the walls, and the attentive wait staff are in constant motion amidst an otherwise serene, warmly lit room of intimate proportions.

The Chef is all about serving good food and putting smiles on his patrons' faces.

You may wish to begin by reviewing the wine list, which is varied, or proceed to the eclectic menu. Among the appetizer selections one may encounter a crab-stuffed cream cheese orb known as an Armadillo Egg. Marked by spicy jalapeño and served with ranch dressing, this Texas delicacy will also make an excellent conversation subject later. For that matter, so will the East Meets the West (bison-kabobs with spicy peanut sauce) and Grand Champion beef tenderloin atop pepperjack cheese grits, drizzled with maple vinaigrette. By comparison, the South Texas Quail Bites and stuffed mushrooms are downright mundane. Let your palate be the judge, as all are worth experiencing.

The dinner entrees are divided into "Local Favorites" for the meat-and-potatoes appetite, and unique gourmet dishes that are "House Specialties." If you like your seafood simple, try Alice's Favorite fried shrimp. Lightly seasoned corn meal batter on pristine jumbo shrimp, fried, is a palate-pleasing dish. Other "Local Favorite" selections include chicken fried steak, cornmeal-crusted catfish, and the heart-chart conscious "Pasta Red Duke." For those who can't keep it simple, the House Specialties offer a broad swath of culinary influences.

The beef lover of the group can't go wrong with the opulent Black & Bleu Filet Mignon, a grilled tenderloin graced with blue cheese, onion rings and drizzled with Merlot demi glace.

Other Specialties might include:

• Pork Melanaise
• Mango Margarita Shrimp (chile-lime flavorings, served with plantain chips and mango-tequila barbecue sauce)
• Chicken Marsala (roasted breast stuffed with Chorizo sausage, cheese and spices)
• Salmon Wellington (pink filet topped with wild mushroom duxelle and herb butter in a pool of "velvety dill cream")
• BlissWood Bison Filet (tenderloin with port wine sauce)

Other desirable amenities offered by Carol's include: kids' menu, catering, and the friendliest wait staff in all of the Texas Coastal Plains. Carol Davis is fussy about the food she serves, and her Chef delivers the goods. Gracious people, inviting decor, and a unique interpretation of the term "comfort food" for all of the senses.
