This place has wonderful food and cooked to perfection. The flavors were spot on and the fish we ordered was cooked appropriately. We had Connor as our waitstaff and they were attentive and did an amazing job connecting with us. They really made us feel welcome and we had a great experience. Do not miss stopping here and having a one of a kind meal. You won’t regret it.

The dining experience provided a delightful ambiance. The deck seating, complemented by a gentle breeze, offered a relaxing setting for the meal. The culinary offerings were exceptional, particularly the fresh shrimp cocktail. The fish and chips were expertly prepared with a light, crispy batter, and the mussels, served with toasted bread in a delicate white wine sauce, were equally impressive. The Aperol Spritz was a refreshing accompaniment. We anticipate returning to this establishment.

Shea was a phenomenal server in a spectacular restaurant. Outdoor dining in Rockport. Beautiful views. Menu has a Portuguese/Caribbean theme to locally sourced sea food. Seasonal from Memorial Day to Columbus Day. It was special.

Real tasty food with fast service! We sat outside on the patio overlooking the bay. I did notice some imperfections in the exterior trim but I cannot help that as I am a master carpenter. We ate the haddock sandwich and the swordfish chop, both were delicious. Would definitely recommend when visiting Rockport.

Wonderful restaurant on Bear Skin Neck at the Tuna pier. The atmosphere is beautiful and you have gorgeous views of Rockport harbor. The staff is very friendly and attentive. The food is so delicious I had the Portuguese shrimp which was amazing and my wife had the octopus which was equally delicious. The prices are reasonable and they have a great wine list and a full bar, I will definitely be back to try additional culinary delights.
