Restaurants near Instalodge Hotel and Suites Karnes City

I dined with my boyfriend on a Friday. I made a reservation and requested to be seated away from any children, as we wanted a romantic dinner. The experience was wonderful. The food and drinks were delicious, the service was on point, and the view breathtaking.

Second time here ever. Last time we were here was during the first few months it was open. In that time, the back of the house has refined what approachable asian fusion is all about. We started with marinated young bamboo (was not a fan, but my daughter loved it), impossible potstickers, creamy coconut tom yun noodle, and wok fired green beans. The star of the show was the tom yun noodles. I’d order them again, but not to share. As small plates were still on the table, the family style dishes were served (as we requested, “bring it when ready). We had the dan dan noodles and pork fried rice. The fried rice could have been served in a food stall in Ho Chi Min City. Seriously. That good. The dan dan noodles had an amazing flavor, but the wide noodles were one big clump. It was the only misstep of the night. Don’t skip the bar offerings. I drank a couple All the tea in China, described as an less sweet arnold palmer. Perfect. One member drank an above my pay grade, while the other member drank the nightshades. We’ll be back. Hopefully later this year, rather than later this decade.

We enjoyed dining at Southerleigh. They were very accommodating. Mary was our server and she did a great job. We had the fried chicken and the red fish with rice pilaf. We also shared mashed potatoes. We also shared a cup of gumbo. The portions are large. We couldn’t eat all of it , but it was nice to sample all of it. It was all very good.

The food and ambiance were wonderful. Our server was knowledgeable about the menu and made great suggestions. The daily lunch specials are a great value. Go on a Monday for the pork medallions!!

We had such a great experience the first night of our stay that we cancelled the dinner reservations we scheduled earlier. We travel and eat out often and we love the ambience, the music, the cocktails and the food is over the top. The eggs Benedict for breakfast was excellent. Most of the menu items are handcrafted! We had 4 different servers at 4 different meals and they were all great! They were friendly and very knowledgeable not to mention highly professional. FABULOUS !
