That will prevent me from probably going back whenever I'm in town. I would think that most of the population nowadays is non-smoking so I would not allow smoking at the bar where most people wanna sit, but maybe outside on the lower level where the grass area is. Put some tables and what not out there. The wings I had the second night were not cooked through. This really could be a great location with the smoking I think is gonna kill most of the business that would go there. Just my feedback.

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.

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!!

Absolutely Amazing!…read more There were four of us dining here, and we were all incredibly impressed! We're not local to Port Aransas, but this will definitely be a place we come back to whenever we're in the area. The lamb chops were hands-down some of the BEST we've ever had. The ribeye was amazing, the halibut was amazing, and their lasagna was absolutely delicious. Honestly, everything we tried was fantastic! The service was just as impressive as the food, friendly, attentive, and made the entire experience even better. If you're looking for a great meal in Port Aransas, GO! And if you're on the fence because of a few negative reviews, don't let them stop you. Our experience was wonderful from beginning to end, and all four of us agreed the food was amazing. I would definitely recommend making reservations ahead of time. From what we could tell, reservations are the best way to make sure you get a table, especially if they're busy. Definitely worth the visit, we highly recommend it!

Even on a busy evening, we called and were able to secure seating. From the moment we walked in, we were blown away by every single course. We started with their delicious, fresh bread and crisp salad, pairing our meal with an incredible bottle of Malbec. For the main course, I ordered the Pecan Crusted Halibut, which was absolutely spectacular, and my husband had the Lamb Chops, cooked to absolute perfection. The Parmesan potatoes were also delicious. The service was amazing from start to finish--we were welcomed with warm smiles, and our waiters were attentive and wonderful. To top off an already perfect night, we had the pleasure of meeting Chef Sergio, who took the time to come out to our table. I truly cannot recommend this place enough and we can't wait to return to try more of their incredible dishes on the island. (Don't forget to also try their delicious deserts!)

SEVERE SAFETY & CONDUCT ISSUES ON LATE-NIGHT SHIFT (8/28)…read moreI am deeply disappointed to write this, especially since I submitted an outstanding 5-star review of this exact property about two months ago praising the wonderful manager and server on duty at that time. Unfortunately, the late-night shift on Friday, August 28, demonstrated a shocking and dangerous breakdown in corporate standards and guest safety.I am a 67-year-old senior citizen, and I was dining with my two adult children between 11:40 PM and 12:14 AM. Because it was late, and it was listed as being open until. I deliberately approached the bartender before sitting down to make sure the kitchen still open, and we were not an inconvenience. During our visit, a male staff member displayed extreme, unprovoked verbal hostility. When I politely asked for clarification regarding his rude comments, he weaponized my age against me and aggressively told me "to act my age", when I commented that I've never received a check before my food before. The situation escalated from verbal harassment to physical aggression when the employee explicitly violated my personal safety by grabbing my arm to force a beverage glass out of my hand while it still had two inches of liquid left. To make matters worse, the employee actively attempted to hide his identity. We repeatedly asked for a standard receipt to get his name, but after three distinct requests, he deliberately handed us a bartender's transaction list that omitted his name entirely. Because he refused to provide his name, we were forced to take a photograph of his face on-site to preserve for formal corporate and legal reports. This individual also repeatedly abandoned his post to take frequent 5-minute breaks outside with a group of buddies (suspected on-duty vape/substance impairment), and his erratic behavior was a clear public safety risk. If you are a senior citizen or visiting with family, please be extremely cautious about patronizing this location during the late-night hours. The current staff on this shift entirely failed to maintain a safe, respectful, or professional environment. Corporate guest relations and risk management have been formally notified with photographic evidence, and a report is being filed with law enforcement regarding the unwanted physical contact.
