However, compared to other seafood eateries in the Houston area, the seafood is the best in the area. 4.5 Stars Service: Fast and friendly. 5 Stars Ambiance: I wanted to sit outside but outside is smoking section. Non-smokers cannot enjoy outside sitting without tolerating the stench of cigarette smell that the wind carries. 1 Star Overall: 4 Stars

What a fun spot we landed at on a Friday night! They had live music (an 80s cover band only playing…read moreEuropean new age and punk), excellent service, and an incredible patio to take in the view. The bar is super low-key (not the right place to order a martini), so if you're in the area and in the mood to drink beer, wine, margaritas, and such, this place is a find. The food is my only reason for the 4 star rating. It's not bad, it's just common bar food, so don't expect any exquisite flavor profiles. But do grab the Buffalo shrimp appetizer with their house seasoned ranch...you will not be disappointed!

Service wasn't good! When we went in, nobody welcomed you in or even assisted you in sitting.. we were lost and just decided to wave hands to a guy who I believe was the owner and moved our shoulder Ana hands like "where?" He pointed to spots like "anywhere!" Ok, let's just sit down and see if food makes up the rudeness. I was WRONG!! When we sat down, a lady who never made eye contact seem very agitated and in a hurry to not even slow down and listen to our order!!! Her eyes and body kept moving away while we were placing an order, rude!!! I was looking around the place and it seems like it has been here for quite a while so I wanted to see if the food was the reason because definitely the customer service??! WASN'T IT! Food arrived and the caldo de mariscos that my husband order was the size of a dish for a child!!! Lacked flavor!! And had ramen noodle size shrimps!!! Ridiculous!!! And big chunks of potato!!! I ordered the wrapped bacon shrimp plate and it's NOT the way it's originally made!! It only had jalapeño and shrimp and reheat/refried bacon!!! It was old and you could taste and see it!!NEVER AGAIN!!! Service!! And food go hand in hand and it was horrible!!! The ambience was just bland, no good enjoyable feeling at all!! Advice to clean the window separating the tables!! Come on it doesn't take that long!!! And the chairs too!!! Owner you should be ashamed because it shows you don't take pride in your business at all!!! Mariscos is very delicate and you serving people food that's not up to the standards it should be!?? Is dangerous and this place definitely doesn't pass food and hygiene

I'd heard such good things about this place from locals, particularly someone at a church nearby…read morewhere we were visiting, so we were excited to swing by and check out one of the supposed best places in La Porte. Unfortunately, our experience was a complete miss. Parking here is awkward. There's not a proper lot, more of a driveway with grass nearby and people seem to haphazardly park with the idea that they'll be getting out in an exact order where they can just drive forward, over a curb, and exit. For those of us in smaller cars, that isn't really an option. The interior is well decorated to give an upscale feel. On a Saturday evening, they had a singer in a sequin dress and a beautiful voice that made it sound like you were listening to the kind of songs you'd hear on Sunny 99.1 or on Delilah's request show, but live. Right off the bat, we had issues with the drink orders. Items were missing, they were serving tea to people who ordered soda, sweet tea to people who ordered unsweet, etc. The worst was a drink from the bar that came out incorrectly THREE times. After the third time, the waiter offered to comp her something else. My friend took the waiter's offer and ordered a soft drink, but the bartender brought out the drink a fourth time anyway. When she got the bill, the soft drink was charged and the fourth take on the alcoholic beverage, which she never drank, was "comped" after she'd already told them she didn't want it anymore. The waiter dared defend what happened, which I felt was in poor taste since HE was the one who offered to get her something else at no charge. The entrees took forever to come out. We don't know what happened, but we were waiting almost an hour for the food. I was ready to get the hell out of there, and had it just been my wife and me, we probably would have. Unfortunately, we were in a bigger group and we all had long drives home, so we didn't want to be rude. The food was completely forgettable. I don't know of anyone who had anything good to say about what they got. My pork belly was decently seasoned and cooked through, but not quite well enough cooked to give the kind of sizzle and texture that made it worthwhile. The portions were also so small that I wasn't satisfied. My wife ordered the fish and chips. Instead of a whitefish or catfish, they served her fried salmon. The flavor and texture was... subpar... at best, and hardly the kind of thing you'd expect when ordering Fish & Chips in the south. Rather than wait another 30 minutes for a replacement entree, and probably get it wrong given how they were handling the drink orders, she powered it down and we mutually decided that we'd never bother to stop by this place ever again.

I have never ever been so disappointed with Monument Inn than I was yesterday and let me tell you…read morewhy. But first the good stuff: our server was fantastic. The Snack Attack appy was good. Friend said his Baked Stuffed Shrimp was good. I had the Mahi Mahi with the Pontchartain sauce. The fish was dry. The sauce was bland and seemed like the recipe was not yet finished. I didn't eat much, asked for a to go bag as I LOVE leftovers, but frankly it was not good enough to take home. The veggies were good but who takes home only the veggies without the main course? We were a party of two and were given one roll though we had two cinnamon rolls which were also good. I ordered a Lemon Drop Martini and it arrived less than half full. I have never received a half a glass Lemon Drop martini. I noticed others ordering the Lemon Drop martinis an all had a full martini glass. Since I had only 1/2 of a martini, I ordered another with the request of a full glass martini. The other glass was a little bit more filled than the first one. Really odd and the taste was not worth the effort of ordering. I noticed the Lemon Drop Martini came with a surcharge. Meaning I was billed for the martini and then another misc charge. I have never been charged a surcharge for a Lemon Drop martini. The menu does not say there is a surcharge. Charge what you are going to charge on one line, in total, like everyone else does OR explain yourself and teach the 20 year old server the answer so she is aware and can share with her customers. So I asked for the manager. Cameron huffed on over like he was in a super bad mood and serving up a huge dose of bad attitude unbecoming of a restaurant manager. Cameron came over all loaded for bear and went to the wrong table. . Funniest thing ever and I wish I had that on video. I politely inquired about the surcharge for the Lemon Drop martini and was told "that's the way it's been for 8 years and we are not going to change it for you." Apparently when you order the menu item of a Lemon Drop martini you are charged for a shot PLUS the up charge of placing the shot into a martini glass. None of this is explained on the menu. Perhaps state that when ordered because I don't work for Monument Inn and am not privvy to this special wackadoodle way of charging their customers for a martini listed on the menu. Then to be almost attacked as Cameron was apparently perturbed that a paying customer had the audacity to question about this insane way of pricing. I had enough of his belligerent and argumentative behavior because Cameron was doubling down with his less than stellar attitude. As such, I told Cameron he was about the rudest person I have encountered in this service industry and dismissed him. No customer deserves that kind of treatment. Thank Cameron's inappropriate interaction for the one star which Yelp forces us to give. Otherwise I'd not given a star at all. Cameron's nastiness ruined the entire experience. Well that and the overcooked fish with the lackluster Pontchartain sauce. Stick to their fried food menu items which is where this place shines. Oh and don't order the Lemon Drop martini.

Let's first begin with the entrance and wait. I am Hispanic and frequent many Spanish restaurants…read more This was the first time we felt like an outcast. I felt like an American Hispanic outcasted at an a dining establishment tailored towards Hispanics of that region. Food: no stars We did not try. Customer Service: 2 stars We waited well over an hour for our order that never arrived. We ordered tacos and sat at the bar because the host said it would be faster.

If you're trying to decide if you should eat here, just do it for the shrimp cocktail! LOL…read moreThe shrimp cocktail is the best Mexican style cocktail I have had in the United States. You can't get this anywhere else in the country, trust me. I have lived in Washington state and Tennessee. I have also vacationed or have traveled to every state for work. This shrimp cocktail is by far the most authentic. The sauce is slightly sweet and thinner in consistency than most cocktail sauces , which makes it very light. The flavor of the sauce deliciously blends with the onion, tomato, cilantro and avocado. Once you try this you'll be hooked. They serve it with lime and crackers. However, I don't eat mine with crackers...I eat it on chips because it's lighter and pairs better together, allowing you to experience the flavors and freshness of the cocktail. They also have a tasty Michelada. They make their own mix and I would have to say their mix is my favorite I've had so far. It's very light, not tomatoey (is that a word LOL) and full of flavor. If you ask me what else I've eaten here I would tell you nothing else. So, I can't comment on the other dishes because I love their shrimp cocktail so much..that's all I get! LOL I live in League City and drive to Baytown just for the shrimp cocktail. Can you tell how much I love it? LOL I've even tried to reverse engineer the sauce but, can't get it right. LOL The atmosphere, as you can see by my picture is nothing fancy but the restaurant is always clean. They are typically a little busy during lunch but, never on a wait. The day I came it was about 3 so, it was only me and 2 other tables. I sat in the booth against the wall. They have booths along the walls with tables in the center of the restaurant. Their prices are reasonable as you can see for yourself, I posted their menu. I'm giving them 5 stars for their shrimp cocktail and Michaela.
