Kind of a staple for our family when we're in Rockport. Never had a bad meal. Great drinks. Gotta try a Toad beer with Tahine rim. Ask for Joni to be your server, she's the best!

All the food was amazing. We just got bottled beer and a dosarita because the lady said their cocktails are made with mixes. But the service, food, and atmosphere were great. We sat on the patio overlooking the bay.

We did use it since my elderly mom gets around now with a cane and she said it wasn't too difficult to go up nor down. I mention this since one has to go up 2 ramps to get to the restaurant level.
