We had a wonderful evening entertaining my husband’s sister at Henrietta’s. Limos on Padre picked us up on time in a pristine vehicle for our reservation. We enjoyed some very nice wines watching a beautiful sunset from the upper deck. Each of us thoroughly enjoyed our entrees and shared a wonderful Key Lime pie. Our server and her trainee were fabulous filling our every want and need with smiles and nonstop energy! It was so nice not to struggle to find parking and get a free ride both ways. Thanks Henrietta’s and Limos On Padre!

We had a beautiful sunset view from the upper deck which was out of the wind. Abby was our server who is just delightful, attentive and energetic. There's a nice selection of wine and rotating craft beers. We had Spicy Pulled Chicken Adobo tacos and Beef Short Rib Ragu pasta. The bread and flavored butters were brought out right away ~ all are yummy! Beef Short Ribs is one speciality they have. Delicious...
