This fine restaurant is the oldest on the thriving Kemah Boardwalk and very, very popular with its views of the water and Boardwalk activities. We had a Saturday night reservation for a party of eight, but had a long wait in the bar for a table. Once seated, you won't be rushed. This is an elegant place, but with the fresh sea air, very laid-back in attitude. Some of the food items are local specialties; others are typical of fine seafood restaurants.
You have several cooking methods for shrimp, crab, oysters, and Louisiana specialties, such as crayfish. There are also many choices for fish and steak and chicken alternatives. We started with absolutely outstanding cropped salads, which we had with very cold, icy cocktails. Lucky us, we had a nice table in a semi-private alcove that still gave us a very pleasant view of the sailboats and bay activities.
As my dining companions ordered large entrées featuring a lot of shellfish, which they will testify were all excellent, I ordered fresh salmon with a dill sauce. It was about 2 hours from sit-down to the time for dessert orders, and we were all flagging from a long day of meetings. Rather than order heavy and extremely sweet desserts (recall Southern specialties here), most of us ordered decaf cappuccinos that were extremely good and served in huge cups. It was a very good evening for all.
