Don't go here for conversation with your friends or family as the view is so good you'll just spend your time looking out of thr window. The food was good, but more pricey than elsewhere. It was the most upmarket dining option we found in Rockport. The service was very good.

In April your dining selections are limited in Rockport as most places open in May. Bracketts is open though and the food is good. Can't go wrong with fresh seafood. Service top notch as the people in Rockport are very friendly and personable. Not a lot of choices for dining but Bracketts while not fine dining won't disappoint.

The clam chowder was wonderful! My salmon was very good. The view out of the back window over the water was interesting. The service was excellent. It was quiet and relaxing.

Brackett's Oceanview Restaurant is a Rockport fixture. The menu features lots of fresh, local seafood and many of their signature dishes such as the fish cakes. The view over Front Beach is spectacular!

The inside has been upgraded, and it doesn't seem like a coffee shop anymore. The view was lovely, and the seafood and chicken were well prepared.

It was ideally situated overlooking the bay. The food was good but perhaps a little expensive. The lighting was a little too dim but a overall a nice ambience.

Amazing waterfront views, went for lunch and dinner. The lobster role was spot on new england, none of that overly mayo stuff you find some places. The lobster ravioli for dinner was wonderful but a bit over sauced. Loved it and will return.

The entrance to the restaurant is deceiving. Looks like a little cafe, but walk to the dining room at the back and WOW! Floor to ceiling windows look out over a very scenic harbor and rocky coastline. We ordered the lobster casserole and were not disappointed. It was very crowded and extremely noisy, but the hostess and wait staff were... More
