Palm Room Grill - Rockport

The Palm Room is a convenient amenity for folks staying at the Lighthouse Inn at Aransas Bay. In the morning, it's a breakfast buffet for hotel guests, and in the afternoon and evening it's happy hour and dinner service for the public. The location is outstanding, with rows of windows facing the water and wide views of the bay. The hotel is designed in Victorian style, and the lounge features wood beams, plush upholstery, and antique photographs showcasing local history. The menu at the Palm Room has options for lots of tastes. We were craving seafood, so we ordered redfish you can choose blackened seasoning or lemon pepper. The first was fresh and tender, with just the right amount of seasoning. Our group also enjoyed the hamburger and the club salad. We appreciated how our server listened carefully to our orders and tailored the the dishes to our needs. Like the hotel, it's a small but mighty team that keeps this place running. They seem to have good morale and attention to detail, and it pays off in helping visitors feel truly welcomed and relaxed. I'm looking forward to coming back to Rockport and bringing more family members to the Palm Room.

Good restaurant in The Lighthouse Inn. Only open for service at nights, the fish and steak specials shine. Call ahead for steak as it comes with a baked potato and servings are limited each night. There's a full bar and service is good. You'll want to remember that servers are in short supply throughout the region so bring a patient approach or try them when you are not in a hurry.

At first I was a bit disappointed with the service as it took quite a while to get our drinks, I may have been a bit hangry since we had walked around all day yet when the food came it was not only the biggest chicken Parmesan I had ever seen it was delicious.

Everything was awesome. Nice atmosphere. Great service. Chef even came out to make sure everything was good. Great anniversary dinner!!!

We had the best meal here last night. The shrimp kabab with rice pilaf was perfect. I am a rice snob so I normally don't expect much. The shrimp was grilled exactly the right amount of time, not under cooked or over cooked. My husbands steak had a great seasoning on it which really makes a difference when cooking and it came out just as ordered. If we lived here we would come all the time. I haven't done a Yelp review in years which should say it all. The other great part of our night was our server Patricia. What a doll!
