One of  Corpus Christi's finest dining establishments made the Diner's Choice list of 100 Most Romantic Restaurants in America recently. Republic of Texas Bar & Grill on the 20th floor of the Omni Corpus Christi Hotel, was chosen based on more than 5 million restaurant reviews submitted by Open Table diners. Some 19,000 restaurants were reviewed in all 50 states and the District of Columbia.

OpenTable is the world's leading provider of online restaurant reservations, seating more than 12 million diners per month via online bookings across approximately 30,000 restaurants.

"This year's honorees offer couples a unique opportunity to step away from their hectic schedules and the pressures of everyday life and reconnect and rekindle their relationships over an elegant, intimate meal," said Caroline Potter, OpenTable Chief Dining Officer in a press release. "Love is always in the air — and romance is always on the menu — at any of these winning restaurants."

Republic of Texas Bar & Grill specializes in steaks, wild game and seafood prepared under the direction of Executive Chef Daniel Rosa. Dress is business casual. On Wednesday through Saturday nights, diners are treated to the sounds of pianist David Crawford.

Located at 900 N Shoreline Blvd., this AAA Four-Diamond restaurant offers diners beautiful panoramic views of the Corpus Christi bay.
