We were three cousins/sisters with one from out of town and were not in a big hurry. We had the beet & olives, whipped ricotta apps, entrees: fresh catch, mushroom risotto--which was very good. The fish was also very good. Hot dishes only temped warm. Flavors were good but neither crave-worthy nor memorable. Prices were a tad on the high side so this was probably a chef-driven menu with quality ingredients but lacked distinctive or innovative flavors. Presentation was nice and dishes fit the table/vibe. I felt Ricotta dessert would have benefitted from a berry coulis. Coffee was hot and freshly brewed. Check was delivered in a timely manner and unobtrusive. Leftovers nicely packaged for take home. Overall, a very nice dining experience--we had the best table in the house.

Not Your Ordinary Bistro is directly across from Roy Moore Lobster Co. in Bearskin Neck, Rockport!…read moreI overheard people walking by saying the lemonade tasted really fresh, while I was standing in line to order at Roy Moore. After we finished eating, I couldn't help but stand in line to try their lemonade here! The lemonades are $5.95 a pop & we ordered 3 of them. Tasted GREAT! I did not find it to be too sweet and not too sour, just right. The wait to order was a bit long since there was only one cashier & she was walking back and forth from the kitchen to the pick-up window & back to the ordering window lol. I would get this again & perhaps try their food options!

I didn't realize their rice had parsley in it since it wasn't listed on the menu. A bit disappointing since I'm not a fan of parsley, so I couldn't really enjoy the rice since that was all I tasted. The tuna tartare was average. When the bill came, the tuna tartare was charged as $27 and not $25 as listed on their menus. The manager told me there must've been a price change and that was it. It was a bit disappointing since it felt like false advertising, I would've preferred a transparent heads up as I was ordering my meal. EDIT: 8/6/2026 After seeing this review, Fleur did reach out to make things right about the price difference situation and the manager I spoke with.

A popular seafood restaurant in Rockport. The wait was expected to be 45 minutes at 6:30 pm on…read moreFriday, so to catch the Commuter Rail, we had to takeout and eat on the train. Lazy Lobster Casserole: 4oz of lobster meat, baked with butter and breadcrumbs, quite satisfying. The lobster meat was firm and delicious, the butter was fragrant, but the breadcrumbs were too burnt, and the seasoning was a bit too salty. Fried Calamari: Just average fried calamari, too much batter. We should have ordered fried scallops, but my dad wanted calamari... Baked Potato: Another average baked potato. We discovered they served it with butter afterward Coleslaw: Not very good. The sweetness was generally right, but it lacked a clear, bright flavor. Side Salad: Sweet and sour, very refreshing!

Not even fifteen minutes later, the space filled up with people asking for window tables.

We ordered a bowl of clam chowder to share, the fried haddock basket with a side of slaw, and the fish tacos with a side of fries. The one unfortunate thing was that our fries had a strand of hair embedded inside, but they were able to replace it for us. Otherwise a pretty decent meal to start off our day strolling around the neighborhood.

There are restaurants that serve exceptional food, and then there are places that remind you why…read moredining is an art form. My Place by the Sea is unquestionably the latter. Tucked into a quaint, shanty-like house perched at the water's edge in Rockport, this extraordinary little restaurant offers something increasingly rare: hospitality so genuine, humble, and gracious that you feel less like a customer and more like a cherished guest in someone's home. And then there is the food. My goodness, the food. The homemade focaccia was beautifully fresh, the kind of simple perfection that speaks volumes about a kitchen's devotion to its craft. The seafood stew was nothing short of sublime, with a broth so profoundly flavorful that I would have happily enjoyed an entire bowl of it alone. The locally sourced mussels, bathed in white wine and garlic, were delicate, tender, and wonderfully evocative of the Atlantic just beyond our table. A seasonal fruit and pecan salad offered a beautiful balance of freshness, sweetness, and texture. And the wonderfully unapologetic, horseradish-kissed Bloody Mary? Effin' magnificent. What impressed me most was the absolute integrity of the experience. Seafood this fresh needs no theatrics, no unnecessary embellishments, and certainly no pretension. Just exceptional ingredients, a gifted chef who respects them, and the kind of thoughtful, personal hospitality that cannot be manufactured. There is something profoundly moving about enjoying seafood prepared with such care while sitting mere feet from the very waters that provided it. I've experienced beautiful restaurants, but rarely have I encountered one where the setting, the cuisine, and the people felt so perfectly in harmony. **My Place by the Sea doesn't merely feed you. It makes you feel something.** And to me, that is the highest compliment a restaurant can earn. An unforgettable little treasure on the edge of the Atlantic. I would return to Rockport for this experience alone.

We dined this past weekend, and the crush of tourists were gone, and had no problem choosing a table of our choice on the patio. Service here is super friendly and efficient. While there are no "lunch" specials, there are a variety of lighter offerings and sandwiches to try. I had a chicken and brie sandwich, served on a baguette. This was quite good, but nothing exceptional. Cocktails can be a work of art and are very good. I think no matter what you try, it all tastes better when served in such a beautiful atmosphere. This was our second visit, and may be our favorite in Rockport.

Our waiter (we unfortunately forgot his name) we enjoyed and was very nice and was patient as we were a bit indecisive. We got a SoCal cocktail, delicious! And also a canned downeast apple cider also very good. My husband had the shrimp plate which was good, but for the price, high for not a large serving of shrimp but they were tasty. I had the buffalo blue marscapone sandwich which was delicious. The fried could use seasoning but were fresh and crispy. Everything came out hot and fresh. We did end up ordering the coconut shrimp appetizer as well as my husband was still a bit hungry which you only got 6 but they were delicious and the sauce was amazing. Pricey for what you get but we enjoyed our meal and our waiter, the views were great and it was convenient while walking around town. We would've loved outdoor seating but didnt see that it was offered while we were there if they have it.
