I have been coming here for years. Their fish dishes, especially the baked haddock is just out of this world. One cannot beat the view. The staff is great and very efficient in their tasks.

Have been at this Restaurant many times. Seems this year, prices were higher, no tablecloths on the table, waitress was very unfriendly. Only good thing was the view.

Beautiful view, waitstaff were very nice but the food was not good at all. It's sad when you end up putting salt on a fish sandwich and cole slaw just to get some kind of flavor out of it.

Excellent food and atmosphere. Tourist trap pricing - my take out entree was up 38% since the summer, and they confirmed they had a recent price increase. Look for great food and a nice ocean view, but do not expect value for your dollar.

Lovely spot. Wandered in from the street not expecting much, but turned out to have stunning views, as well as friendly, accommodating service and a relaxed atmosphere, varied menu (including large selection of wines, cocktails etc), and reasonable prices. No wait for a table in a day when all the pier side dining was jam packed. Would definitely return. Would be perfect during the cooler seasons also given the indoor dining but floor length windows (facing west - sunsets would be dreamy!). They were happy to seat us just for a drink and all felt very low pressure and relaxed Ample seating to accommodate larger groups also. One step inside but largely accessible/stroller friendly

Pure Rockport at it's best!

Wonderfully consistent kitchen and a million dollar view of Rockport Harbor, Brackett's is the perfect pre-show early dinner before catching a performance at Shalin Liu a couple doors away ( it's also great for lunch).

THE VIEW sweeps left to right from Front Beach, past the main harbor to the humble of buildings that huddle on Bearskin Neck. About half the seats have good to excellent views through the wall of windows.

THE MENU/FOOD seafood forward, always a white fish, usually a salmon dish and always shellfish including lobster. Solid New England faves at acceptable prices ($$-$). A couple of not seafood entrees. Salads, soup/chowders-- not an extensive menu but very well balanced; same with the wine list. I loved the tarragon-butter finished grilled Faroe salmon with a nice French rose; husband said his butterflied & grilled swordfish was perfection (high praise indeed as he is very picky about his swordfish!).

Staff here is always welcoming and responsive-- extra appreciated because we usually come here during the very busy pre-theatre/sunset times and staff keeps the pace and the smiles!

You won't get unusual, ultra-creative dishes here but we treasure this place for reliability, quality ingredients expertly prepared-- oh, and for THE VIEW 👍

Had the most fabulous lunch at this gorgeous location Rockport. We were seated promptly and we got a fantastic place overlooking the beach and the cliff. We went with entrees, shrimp & scallop, salmon and haddock. Each dish came with rice and veggies and was delicious. The service was good and the ambience was perfect for a Saturday luncheon. Highly recommend if you are in the area. Ask for a table with a view.

I've only been here for Brother's Brew which is tremendous. Great energy with coffee, donuts and breakfast sandwiches that are the tits.

Brackett's has a clean, hip, retro looking room in the back. The space in the front feels kinda run down .
