"We had a truly memorable meal at 18 Central. My husband took me there for my birthday, and with an advance reservation, the menu given to me had 'happy birthday ' printed at the top, a fun detail. From the selection of raw bar oysters to entrée to dessert, everything was flawless and exceptionally prepared. I had the Arctic Char from the menu, and my husband had the BBQ chicken. Each had lovely accompaniments, and every forkful was swoon-worthy. I 've written about this restaurant last year, when with a much larger group, and a later reservation time. The food was similarly wonderful, but timing of seating and timing of service were problematic. This year, just the two of us and an earlier...

Absolutely delicious top notch food. Good friendly service. Would definitely return. The place is a little noisy and cramped but a nice atmosphere.

We had been in the area celebrating our 14th Anniversary and our meal at 18 Central was the most memorable. The dinner was delicious, the best all week! Their staff and the personal touches they did for our anniversary were so sweet. We will rush back the next time we’re in town!

"Fun restaurant, this is something else for Rockport. We tried the slider sampler, seafood Mac and cheese, cream from crab soup and Calamari. We enjoyed all the food we tried! They also had the best beer and bourbon selection I saw in this area. I just want to see more plates for every diner so that the different foods are not eaten on your plate. Maybe give each person 3 or 4. Great restaurant!"

"Pier77 is still my favorite place for fried fish and shrimp. The batter they use is thin and crispy. We ordered the combo fish and shrimp plate to share and we couldn't finish it all. The French fries are fantastic. All the servers are very helpful and friendly."

"I was there three times to give the food another chance, but I really don't think the sandwiches are so good. I heard good things about the chicken salad, but I'm just not a fan of it in general, so I didn't say anything about it. I think it can be that they are too much of a meat in the sandwich and not enough of the other blows. I got the baked potato soup and when it was placed in front of me, there was a small bowl of blows hidden behind the cup, so I never saw the blow. So I ate a simple potato soup because I didn't know it came to the surcharges. That was a bummer. I thought it just tasted, but maybe it's good when the punches are added. All in all, I'm just not a big fan of the whole taste of the 3 different sandwiches I've tried now, but they have a redeeming quality. This is one of the best chocolate chip cookies I've ever had. So A on it!"

"Well, the food was really good, but I felt it was a bit expensive for how good. My big comment is that the pages were slandered while the meat seasons almost exaggerated the duck. If you ate them together, they were very good, but not everyone likes to combine them in a bite. We had fried, cooked, panned shrimps. We had pasta and potatoes. We had the tomato bisque and sidsalate. The dressing seemed in the house, and they were good. However, I recommend them on the side. They were very rich and too much was on my salad. The staff was nice and the artwork was a nice touch. It leans on a fancier outfit, but they don't have us in our shorts and flip-flops, which goes a long way with me. I'd go back."

"One of the best, if not best, Cafe's in Rockport. Our 30th anniversary in Rockport. We have breakfast there every 3 morning. The food was great. The best was the friendly staff. It is so nice to go to a small town and experience the welcoming and friendly nature of the locals. We had grown up our 13-year-old town, granddaughter with us and she was amazed at how friendly the staff was. This knowledge of her made the whole journey worth it. Thank you, JJ's, stop the great work."
