Loved this restaurant, but unfortunately they have closed. Something else has opened in their place, but I haven't had the opportunity to dine with them yet.

10/5. Best seafood I have ever had and I've had plenty. Friendly staff, great chefs. We eat here more than once every time we vacation in the area. Scallops over risotto is great. My husband loves the seafood Mac & Cheese. Great ambiance.

Each meal is better than the last one! Haven't found anything on the menu that doesn't tempt! Drinks are generous and appetizers are great. Soup, seafood, steak or pasta dishes are all great. Service is exceptional. Owners are on site and very friendly.

Very good service, crab cakes are nothing like all the pics, served not hot but warm,shrimp scampi was ok, no bread served with the meal. Unless you ask for it. Over priced in my opinion,!

Rockport has so much to offer, including this outstanding restaurant downtown! Everything on the menu was unique, covering seafood to comfort food, all while maintaining a classy experience. Cocktails were made with premium labels and the menu’s signature section featured drinks covering every taste preference. For an appetizer, the deviled eggs stood out to us by featuring shrimp and crab as garnish, which sounded extremely unique. Every course after that was outstanding and we couldn’t recommend 495 enough to anyone traveling or passing by. A big thank you to our Devin for the great menu recommendations and thank you to the kitchen staff for preparing us an outstanding dinner!

Um hate to give a negative review but the food was not good. I ordered to go and had a 4 min drive to the hotel. The crab dip looked so unappealing, there is a better way to package this to go. I would recommend a to go bowl. It didn’t taste great either. The fries were horrible, Brussels were overcooked and overpowered with so much cheese. The cheesecake was decent. I would not recommend at all. I threw everything away, $60 down the drain.

Having lived most of our adult lives in Maryland, we were eager to visit this restaurant. We absolutely loved the brussell sprout appetizer. My husband had the crab cake entree, which was good but not quite a traditional Maryland crabcake ( too much filler) . I enjoyed the shrimp scampi and the bread pudding.

The gem of Rockport and the most delicious meal we've eaten in a decade. The Brussels sprouts are the single finest taste treat ever, and worth the trip across Texas. The food is crafted with care and the ambiance is relaxing and quietly elegant. This establishment is in a different league than the competition. Go there and be reminded of the beauty of living.
It was very loud on an off-season Saturday night, mainly because of a birthday party. I'm mainly here to say, I have lived on the Gulf Coast and in Maryland and the crab cakes are the best I have ever eaten! My friend had the deviled eggs and said they were worth the 10 hour trip! We will definitely come back!

I took my wife here on our Anniversary. The food was outstanding. Service was also exceptional, our waitress recommended the fried Brussels Sprouts. They were fantastic made reservations for Valentine’s Day on our way out. Only complaint was they knew it was our anniversary would have expected a complimentary desert, no such thing there.

We walked in, and the place was packed on a Wednesday night. That's not typical for Rockport, so we were intrigued. The owners recently volunteered to teach at the Rockport Art Center's children program, and my husband is a regular teacher there. They made a wonderful impression with kids and adults alike, and as busy as they are with their own restaurant, it was heartwarming to have them in the class.I'm so glad my husband decided we should give this restaurant a try. Everything is top-notch. Our server was friendly, attentive, and asked us how everything tasted and looked. I can't ever recall a server asking me how things looked, but when your meal comes out looking like ours, it truly makes sense! I've included photos, look at the pork chop - a masterpiece! The food was absolutely delicious, the atmosphere is warm and inviting, as is the staff. The owner was on-site and actively directing and part of the process. I have a feeling it's a fun place to work. 495 will be part of our regular dining out rotation.

It was our first time eating here and everything was excellent. Our server was very welcoming and attentive. All three phases of the food was excellent; the appetizer, main course, and desert. Looking forward to the next visit.
