Wowza...what a find! CLEAN, nicely decorated, with great wall art, excellent menu, and our server,…read moreStephanie was super! A versatile menu, the majority of which is seafood, as we're in Rockport, but look out for the PERFECT Ribeye. Cooked exactly as ordered, beautifully seasoned, and one of the most tender and flavorful Ribeye steaks, ever. It includes 3 very tasty, grilled shrimp, and two sides. I had the hottest baked potato ever, yum, and delicious green beans. Dylan enjoyed his steak enourmously, with creamed corn and a loaded baked potato. Although we arrived starving, we could both only eat half. No problem, lunch the next day and Bizou was thrilled. Thank you Stephanie! Also, for Rockport, they're open late (9 pm). But they still kindly greeted people at 8:45. Be kind folks, and show as they're shutting everything down!

I visited Nemo's Seafood Grill while on a day trip in Rockport. The food pictures online looked…read moregood but I didn't expect to find such interesting and delicious seafood there! I had reasonable expectations and Nemo's still managed to exceed them. Both the interior and exterior of the restaurant are unremarkable. But don't let the boring decor fool you, the food was solid. I had grilled scallops, cabbage and green beans. Sounds like a weird assortment, doesn't it? But it knocked my socks off! First of all, the sea scallops were absolutely amazing. Though simply cooked in butter and spices, they tasted fresh, on par with large scallops I had bought at Whole Foods in the past and cooked at home, perhaps even better. (Okay there were better, I admit it... But I pride myself in being a good cook nonetheless!) The side of cabbage was delish. I mean, guys, I don't even care for cabbage, I don't normally like it. But it struck me when I looked at the menu, seeing a Vietnamese section, that the owners aren't your typical Texan cooks. They're eclectic. When when I see originality, I have to try it. The green beans were also fresh, simple but well put together, without bacon, the way they should be, because that's how my grandma used to cook them (grandma is always right, sorry not sorry.) That's right, eating at Nemo's reminded be of home cooking at its best, made with heart and care. I didn't expect to find that in Rockport of all places, nothing less than a meal that took me to new places, and simultaneously down memory lane. My husband had the catfish and his portion was generous. He also had a side of their special pineapple coleslaw, which is in all ways superior to traditional coleslaw. Regular coleslaw sucks, big time. Nemo's is a long overdue improvement upon the original recipe. I stole some of his coleslaw. When you serve me coleslaw anywhere else, I set it aside, and unless someone else eats it, it ends up in the trash. Just saying. So, all in all, while the place looks absolutely boring and undedicated in many ways, the food made up for lack of ambiance. I'd go back.

We were lucky to get the last serving of their evening special, Paella, which was among the best versions of this dish I have eaten, even including the first time I tried it in Barcelona back in 1959 as a college student. The portion was generous enough to satiate the five of us that shared it. With that, we added Corn Ribs, the Tuna Tostada, Patatas Bravas, and Crab Crostini. That was the perfect quantity for five. This is a five star restaurant in every regard, except perhaps for ambiance. The food was uniformly excellent and some of it was exceptional. The Tuna Tostada left me longing for more, and there was a generous amount of crab on the Crostini. The Corn Ribs brought corn-on-the-cobb to a new level. The one disappointment was that the salmon in the salad came out medium rare, which in my opinion is the way is should be served, but the menu probably should have warned that it would be prepared that way. This was cheerfully and quickly fixed, so no harm and no foul. We will surely return.

First time here but def not our last, in fact just made our second reservation!…read more We had heard wonderful things about this place and they were not wrong. We reserved early for NYE because we are old, lol, and so glad we landed on Gabriela's. We started out with the Pina Colada Azul's and they were amazing. For eats we had the corn ribs, the Ahi tuna tostada, and the Queso de Cabra. All were soooo good. I don't even do tuna and had two bites because they were so good. I'm a huge fan of the corn ribs and the goat cheese though. We finished with the calamari which was just as good as everything else had been. Light breading, not oily at all and plated with plenty of lemons and a very tasty sauce. I would recommend everything we had. We finished with the bread pudding and the chocolate torte! Again both were amazing, and I don't like even like bread pudding but this one was amazing. The pistachios put it over the top for me. So it was a wonderful experience and I cannot wait to be back. Let me end with Leslie and Candace in the bar, they are so great that I wouldn't even consider sitting at a table if they are on the bar. Thanks ladies for a great NYE dinner!

Not only does this place boasts the best fufu martinis in Rockport but their food can't be beat either. We will def be back to try other tasty items on the menu.

Good service and relaxing atmosphere…read more Service and atmosphere: As mentioned above haha. Our server was friendly and helpful. The restaurant has good seaside vibe. There are plenty of seating options on the patio where they also have opened bar area. The restaurant can accommodate many guests inside too. Food and drinks: Good selection of seafood dishes. I opted for wild caught salmon. The fish was cooked and seasoned well. We also chose sandwich with crab which was equally tasty. They offer great variety of cocktails. Pricing: $$ - definitely not overpriced and worth it.

Disgusting Kitchen Standards & An Absolute Joke of a "Discount"…read moreLet me start by saying our waitress was awesome. She was attentive, polite, and this 1-star review has absolutely nothing to do with her. This is entirely on management and the kitchen staff. We came in as a party of four and ordered appetizers. As soon as they hit the table, we pulled out two long hairs--one in each appetizer--right in front of our waitress. She was visibly startled and asked what she could do. Trying to be understanding guests, we told her not to worry, and she apologized and said she'd speak to the Back of House. When the main courses arrived, the food was okay, though it seriously lacked flavor and desperately needed salt. But the real insult came when the bill arrived. Since we had actual hair served in our food, we politely asked our waitress if a discount could be applied. She apologized, mentioned she hadn't been sure how to handle it initially, and went to speak to the manager. After a long wait, she came back with a "discounted" bill. The original total was $179 and change. The manager's grand gesture of a discount brought it down to $173 and change. But here is the absolute kicker: because we paid with a card, they tacked on debit card fees that brought the final total right back up to $179. Where the hell is the actual discount? In this day and age, almost no one carries cash. Sneaking in extra card fees to completely wipe out a "complimentary" discount for serving us hair is cheap, manipulative, and terrible business. If you're going to charge card fees, embed them in the food prices like a reputable establishment. Between whoever is cooking in the back without a hairnet and a management team that thinks a net-zero "discount" fixes serving unsanitary food, we will absolutely never be back. Step up your hygiene and your management standards.

We ordered the Dot Combo which included: 1 Blue Crab, 1lb Crawfish, 1/2lb Shrimp, 1/2lb Sausage, New 'taters and Corn. We ordered it spicy with lemon... and wow! What a zing! I think if we went again I'd just order it with a little less spice lol. I ate the sausage, corn and potatoes, and my husband worked on the seafood. We couldn't finish it! We ended up bringing it home for leftovers the next night. The staff was great! One of the servers (not ours) stopped by to help my husband with the crab (never ordered a whole crab before!) Definitely make this a stop if you're in the area.

We were seated promptly at a table next to windows facing the Harbor. Our Wait Staff Professional was Maricela aka "Mari"! We each ordered different Seafood dinner plates. It takes time to prepare great meals for so many Customers and today was no exception. Our small wait was well rewarded with four plates of excellently prepared fare. I noticed that the all the staff were working together to help each other serve the Customers. I looked up and headed to our table I saw Ms. Destiny with a huge tray of dinner plates high above her head. Using ONE hand! Her presentation was Worthy of any high end European dining. Excellent coordination while setting up the stand so our waitress Maricela could serve our dinner. This staff worked as a TEAM to help each other in providing Outstanding Service to go with a GREAT meal. WOW! I was impressed. My wife ordered the Bread pudding with sourdough bread. It was good! To go with our great meal there was great scenery outside. We kept looking out the massive windows at the passing personal fishing boats and the fish turning in the water. We enjoyed our meal and got a bonus when the moon came out and displayed itself in a very brilliant way. We took pictures. We highly recommend Paradise Key - Go There!

Came here for a family dinner. Great location and awesome water views! One of those places that…read morethe ambiance views is enough to make patrons return. People were actually fishing right outside by the parking lot too which looked relaxing... Now for the food. We started off with appetizers and it was oysters and poke tuna tower. Not an oyster person myself. Brother in law and wife had them and they enjoyed them saying they were fresh. The poke tuna tower was good but it lacked salt and needed more sauce. It seemed like the sauce was only on the plate and not mixed with the ingredients. But the ingredients were fresh and the chips were served hot with some seasoning on them. For mains we had "Fish n Chips" and a bowl of clam chowder. Well it was more of a cup as they forgot we had ordered a bowl. Flavor was there but the temp was like warm and I'm a type that wants it a little more hot. The "Fish n Chips" for me wasn't the traditional plate when you read the name of the dish. Fish n Chips for me is flaky strips of fish or beer battered. This fish was more of a solid piece and breaded. But the seasoning was amazing!! The flavor was there so that made it up for me. But I'm a guru to fish n chips so I had a different vision of it. We did upgrade to the mahi mahi on it and that was really tendered. The fries were a little bland and the sweet potatoes fries were really chewing and dry. The menu had some great options that we want to try therefore we will be back to return again. Our server was on point! Great service and all with him dealing with 2 big group parties including ours. Think his name was Victor. Again, I highly recommend this and we cannot wait to go again!!

A side of Brussels sprouts, which carried an additional upcharge, arrived late and did not come out with the rest of the meal, further detracting from the experience. Overall, the pricing felt excessive for the quality and selection provided. On a positive note, the venue itself, while somewhat dated, was clean and well maintained.
