Unfortunately, that wasn't the case this visit. We were seated for 30+ minutes and no one even handed us a menu, much less offered us water or a glass of wine. While we were waiting, two other tables walked out because they hadn't even gotten drinks either. I understand holiday weekends are busy and places can be short staffed, but when you know you're going to be slammed, employees should be prepared to handle it professionally instead of taking their frustration out on paying customers. I don't need to hear about staffing issues -- I just needed basic service. Sadly, this experience was enough that I won't be coming back.

Waitress says, "we are out of fried shrimp." Miscommunication or not hearing led to two small pieces of extra fish and no shrimp at all . And extra waiting . No refills except when we asked and sat for another 15 mins after finishing to get our bill. I ended up walking to the register and asked for the bill. They did give us credit for the fish and shrimp platter but tried to charge us for pickle chips we didn't get. More miscommunication. Everything culminated into a very frustrating visit.

First, to be honest, although I try not to eat bacon, I do love it. And at Poor Man's there is so much bacon that my dog is so excited when it's delivered because she just knows she's getting hers. Its perfectly constructed with just the exact amount of lettuce, tomato, mayo and excess bacon on toasted garlic bread. Served with fries that can be delicious or overly spiced; I guess the chefs mood. My only complaint is their hours, which is why I usually get it delivered. To me they close too early (although I have to keep reminding myself this is Rockport), and I never seem to have the right day. But its all good, because when I do have it I savor it.

Just off the freeway a bit, this is a great place for a tasty meal, ice cream dessert or snack pleaser We enjoyed some fried pickles while we waited for our tortilla burgers ( we added avocado). The pickle chips and ranch dressing was good but a little too salty for my liking. The tortilla burger was a veggie loaded cheesy smashed beef burger in two fried tortillas. Greasy but good. Fall all apart but finger-lickability. With a side of hot fries, this filled us up quickly. But not too full to not partake in an ice cream shake for the road.

As the Chief Funding Officer for the trip, I wasn't looking too forward to this one. The food sounded great. The drinks sounded great. The prices? They seemed a little inflated compared to other restaurants on the island. It was, however, a bit more upscale. Once again, I can not tell you what everyone had. Our very talented and experienced server rattled off some amazing sounding specials, and I know some of them were selected. I chose the shrimp and grits. That is one of my favorite shrimp dishes thanks to my sister in law who makes a wonderful version of them. When the server told me these would be the best I had ever tried, I told him that I would be the judge and would measure them against hers. What I was served as shrimp and grits was nothing like I expected. Tortuga's makes a batch of very flavorful grits, puts them in a loaf pan, chills them, slices them, and fries them. Then they top those with perfectly cooked shrimp in an amazingly delicious sauce. The entire dish was absolutely stunning, but I still won't call that "shrimp and grits". Sarah, you're still number one. Most of the family had a craft cocktail or two with the meal. When I saw the bill, I was just a bit shocked that it was so high. But in all honesty, as a vacation opener, it was more than worth it. It was so good that we planned to come back for the brunch later during the trip. We didn't because the brunch time didn't fit in with the baby's schedule. Oh... one last thing. My son and I shared a dozen and a half fresh oysters on the half shell. They were truly delicious. However, they were the tiniest little oysters I have ever been served.They were also very gritty with several pieces of shell in them. If I had seen them first, I would never have paid $36 a dozen for them. I wish I had a photo. I'll ask my son if he got one and add it later, if he did.

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).

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.
