From the street it looks like nothing is going on- but the acton is in the back, a busy big room with windows facing the water. Lots of good food choices, friendly service, open room a little noisy.

I've learned to be skeptical of questionable reviews. I was unable to get a reservation as we got to Rockport so late. That said, we took a chance and boy am I glad we did! Got lucky to get a booth in this bustling place! First of all the waitress (Buffy) was phenomenal. Second, the food DELICIOUS. We had the blackened/grilled fresh haddock and salmon with rice and yummy beets. They even brought fresh rolls! Drinks were excellent as was the wine. Everyone here works very hard to ensure that you are well taken care of and that you enjoy your dining experience. HIGHLY recommend and encourage a reservation as you might be lucky enough to score a table by the water!

Hands down the best dining experience we had in Rockport all week. Lovely spot, great service, great atmosphere, wonderful view, and overall just an enjoyable experience that my wife and I agreed was the best of the week.

Unassuming restaurant. Feels like a local favorite spot. You walk into an understated entrance . It's very rustic. The surprise is the actual dining room. Your walk into spectacular views of the harbor, people swimming, and sailboats gliding by. The food is good ,homey. Great fish. Well cooked nice selection of sides. You won't be disappointed. Make a reservation their popular.Dietary restrictions: Waitress will suggest options.

Delicious with an amazing view! We got the fish cakes, fish and chips, shrimp tacos, and the fried halibut sandwich (I forget the name). Everything was really good and the servers were super kind. ACd since it was such a hot day! Fish cakes were the best.

Despite it being highly rated, we thought the food and service was just average. But the view of the water was beautiful.

We went for Coffee. It was quite good but lacked decaf espresso to make alternative drinks. The pastry made up for it. Very good.
