Brackett's Oceanview Restaurant

Had the most fabulous lunch at this gorgeous location Rockport. We were seated promptly and we got a fantastic place overlooking the beach and the cliff. We went with entrees, shrimp & scallop, salmon and haddock. Each dish came with rice and veggies and was delicious. The service was good and the ambience was perfect for a Saturday luncheon. Highly recommend if you are in the area. Ask for a table with a view.

Wonderfully consistent kitchen and a million dollar view of Rockport Harbor, Brackett's is the perfect pre-show early dinner before catching a performance at Shalin Liu a couple doors away ( it's also great for lunch). THE VIEW sweeps left to right from Front Beach, past the main harbor to the humble of buildings that huddle on Bearskin Neck. About half the seats have good to excellent views through the wall of windows. THE MENU/FOOD seafood forward, always a white fish, usually a salmon dish and always shellfish including lobster. Solid New England faves at acceptable prices ($$-$). A couple of not seafood entrees. Salads, soup/chowders-- not an extensive menu but very well balanced; same with the wine list. I loved the tarragon-butter finished grilled Faroe salmon with a nice French ro

Delicious with an amazing view! We got the fish cakes, fish and chips, shrimp tacos, and the fried halibut sandwich (I forget the name). Everything was really good and the servers were super kind. ACd since it was such a hot day! Fish cakes were the best.

Lovely spot. Wandered in from the street not expecting much, but turned out to have stunning views, as well as friendly, accommodating service and a relaxed atmosphere, varied menu (including large selection of wines, cocktails etc), and reasonable prices. No wait for a table in a day when all the pier side dining was jam packed. Would definitely return. Would be perfect during the cooler seasons also given the indoor dining but floor length windows (facing west - sunsets would be dreamy!). They were happy to seat us just for a drink and all felt very low pressure and relaxed Ample seating to accommodate larger groups also. One step inside but largely accessible/stroller friendly

We’ll be moving soon, so we paid a visit to Rockport to enjoy a lovely sunny day by the water. Little did we know we would discover Brackett’s. What an awesome place! The food was delicious and the view was spectacular. 1) Brackett’s Fish Cakes (a local favorite!): Homemade fishcakes served with newburg or old bay sauce. 2) Fried Shrimp Plate. We loved everything. Couldn’t have asked for more incredible local seafood. And the service was lovely!
