Best Restaurants with Bar Seating in Port Arthur

Food is always outstanding, including service. This is the second time we were seated upstairs. For me, timing was off both times. We waited a long time to get both appetizers. Our waiter came by and questioned why we hadn't had our appetizers yet. They were soon delivered. Then our entrees were there as we were finishing the appetizers. Food wasn't as hot as it usually is, but flavors are outstanding. Going forward, I will insist on sitting on the 1st floor main dining. Things flow better, and we don't feel rushed. It's a place we frequent, and we love the ambiance.

The main reason to go to a restaurant is the food, and this place definitely delivered. We shared three entrées, and all of them were worth the price. I highly recommend the short rib fried rice, it was amazing. The only real complaint I have is the DJ, he kept messing with the volume, making it really loud one moment and then lowering it again for some reason. Service was good but a bit slow, which makes sense since it was packed. They forgot to bring our lamb at first, but it wasn’t a big deal, and the manager even came out to apologize, which was nice but not really necessary. Overall, great food, good service, and good vibes.

Inventive dishes. Kenneth’s was a great somakase chef.

Our server (sorry his name eludes me) has always taken great care of us, even when they’re busy. Small place but you can tell they take pride in providing an amazing dining experience. Will always think of them when wanting great food, service and a nice ambiance.

Uchi is our special occasion dinner or date night. We love the variety of options (plenty of vegetarian options) and service is always top notch. I like to come during happy hour so that I can order from both happy hour and dinner menu. Linda is my favorite server! She makes really great recommendations and we always have the best dining experience with Linda. Will see you again soon!
