Great food, service and ambiance at Copano's in downtown Rockport. They have one of the best appetizers I have had, the Scallops Dynamite and the shrimp and crab deviled eggs. They have great seafood, salmon is delicious. Great chicken, pastas, and steaks. I loved the pork chop with amazing mashed potatoes. read more

I was very disappointed with the seafood offerings at this restaurant. There was far too much emphasis on pasta and heavy sauces, which overwhelmed the flavor of the fish rather than complementing it. Surprisingly, there were no "just shrimp"dinner options available. Only with pasta. The prime beef was satisfactory but nothing memorable. A side of Brussels sprouts, which carried an additional upcharge, arrived late and did not come out with the rest of the meal, further detracting from the experience. Overall, the pricing felt excessive for the quality and selection provided. On a positive note, the venue itself, while somewhat dated, was clean and well maintained. read more

Friendly welcoming atmospher. The baked oyster appetizer waz amazing. The crab leg appetizer was very good, but a little too much creaminess probably for one person so my fault for making that my main meal. The shrimp and grits was not tasty, lacked flavor and he would not get again per my husband, but had a beautiful presentation. Staff were super friendly and on top of it. I would try again, but maybe on a Tuesday when they have Fish n Chips. read more

Per their recommendation we placed the phone call to make reservations. We did not receive a phone call back as they say they'll do. We assumed no problems so we made the drive. We walk in give our name and the young lady (Hostess) says "Oh I haven't checked the messages" ok so reservations aren't needed ??? We tell her our party size and Hostess girl says "oh we can't do that". What's the point of recommending reservations IF YOU'RE NOT going to honor them. So we called the other number. The Manager / Owner / Whoever and explain to her. She says "well our early times are usually busy". We understand that... that's why we made RESERVATIONS!!! Bottom line is the food good ??? We have NO IDEA... is the service good??? NOT AT ALL !!! Thank you Copanos for showing us my daughter's Birthday Celebration and our family mean nothing to you. Way to take care of your customers.

The hostess Emilia was not welcoming at all we came to Rock Port for my birthday weekend Copano's was recommended the hostess ask if we had a reservation we said no and that the website didn't state we needed one she said it's coming I told her we would leave and drive elsewhere she said she would accommodate us, she sat us in the corner by the bar behind a wall very upsetting. Miss Nancy our waitress was so fantastic that you Miss Nancy the food was good the entry was upsetting so much for my birthday celebration read more

Our server was Robin and she was very quick and sociable. We ordered the prime rib and baked oysters. We split the prime rib because it was a 22 ounce cut! Everything was delicious. read more

By far the best dining and bar experience on the gulf coast between Corpus Christi and Port Lavaca!! Blackened drum was amazing as well as the local oysters on the half shell!!! read more

Food was excellent. Service was friendly but extremely slow, but they were very busy. My son had the ribeye that was cooked perfectly but it was super thin. For the price ($50+) it should have been a better cut. I had mussels and the grilled Caesar. Many of the mussels were dead (unopened) but the broth was amazing. My husband had the daily special, halibut. It was great but a tiny portion. Great cocktails. Overall good experience but if they tweaked a bit, would be 5 star. read more

Service was great and the food was good. Nice atmosphere! We will go back next time we are in the area

Fresh catch of the day along with wine selection was top notch! But I will say the brownie with ice cream was a nice touch!

This was an excellent meal. I cannot recommend enough the scallops dynamite and the Brussel sprouts. The entree was a special so it may not be available but it was wonderful also. I do recommend calling ahead for a reservation especially if it is a weekend. We didn't have one but they did get us in, they just preferred a reservation since it was Saturday evening. They were all very kind and the service was great. read more

Without question the number one restaurant in Rockport, Texas. Ever-changing, innovative menu. Outstanding food, service and ambience. Unparalleled Waitstaff. read more

Started with a 1/2 order of the Brussel Sprouts. Glad we went with the 1/2 order as recommended by our server. A full-size would have been too much. Although not a great fan of Brussel Sprouts, this deep fried version was pretty good. Perhaps a tad on the sweet side with the Asian style honey sauce. Although I'm uncertain what made it "Asian" style. $7.00 3/5 I ordered 6 Aransas Pass oysters. First time trying this variety. The oysters were very mild, soft and creamy. Probably not one I'd try again because I prefer oysters to be a bit more firm and briny. $12.00 3/5 I ordered the salmon from their daily menu (vs. their regular offering). They ran out of the snapper. It came with mashed potatoes and asparagus wrapped in prosciutto The mashed potatoes were very creamy and buttery. The salmon was in my opinion, overcooked. I like the middle to be slightly undercooked. The skin which they fried and added was pretty good, but the salmon itself was not season enough. I had to add a touch of S/P. $32.00 3/5 My hubby ordered the New York strip with the same mashed potato served with the salmon, and broccolini. According to the description, it was served with a marrow butter sauce. However, we couldn't see or taste where it was added as a side or melted on top of the steak. My husband felt that it was a okay. $42.00 3/5 As carrot cake lovers, we added the carrot cake to go. Got home and honestly, felt this was the best offering from the restaurant. Not overly sweet. Not too soft or too hard. A perfect "bite". The drizzled caramel topping was the perfect touch! $12.00 5/5 Cocktails: 1 orange margarita, 1 plain margarita, approximately $30 3/5 Our server was great. But have to add that as we were leaving, the two hosts at the front desk talking to one another didn't acknowledge us leaving, no have a nice evening or good night or thank you. Rather both my husband and I heard one of them say "....freaking...something" and when I glanced over saw that they were both frowning. So interpreted that as they were not happy with a situation/person. Won't judge the restaurant entirely on that, but mentioning it as an opportunity for training. Both hubby and I are in the customer/client service industry :) read more

The girls at the door were great. The waitress was sweet but we had to get up and leave before food because IT WAS SOOO OVER THE TOP LOUD in there. It was more like being in a bar than sitting down to enjoy a nice meal. Way too over stimulating. read more

Copano’s - Menu p.1 - Whiskey Bars Near Me - Rockport, Texas

Appetizers were fine but I ordered the most standard fish they serve-blackened black drum. Came out looking like a burnt chicken breast and was as tough as it looked. Had to use a steak knife. I've never had a tough black drum in my life. I've eaten there for 10 yrs through 3 different owners and this was the worst. Last time for me. No excuse for this. Best thing to do is get a new chef. read more

Amazing!! We travel all over the US for my husbands job and I can confidently say this is definitely in my top five of all time great restaurants! The atmosphere is cozy and located across from the Bay. Service was awesome starting with the hostess right when you walk in. We ate at the bar and it was perfect! We started with the deviled egg appetizer and OMG! I'm going to have to step up my deviled egg game! Next we shared a NY Strip and a Blackened Drum with beurre blanc sauce over creamy parmesean risotto. Both were absolutely outstanding! We finished with espresso martinis! YUMMY!! It was a perfect experience and we will be back for sure!! read more

What a lovely meal! We started with the crab stuffed deviled eggs and the brussels sprouts (the best we've ever eaten). I had ahi tuna over risotto which was perfectly cooked, and my husband had shrimp piccata (he loved it). For dessert, we had crème brulee. We will definitely come back here to eat whenever we visit Rockport. Truly one of the best restaurant meals we've ever had! read more

Very good food and amazing service had sea scallops were cooked perfectly And crab fingers were very good read more

Good appetizers (meatballs were lovely) and gorgeous dining area (we sat by the fish tank.) We enjoyed an Irish coffee with dessert too.

I had been seeing the posts and wanting to try the fish and chips (their Tuesday night special) and it finally worked out! I ordered to go and it was hot and ready in 15 minutes. The fish batter was crispy and delicious, flakey fish, and seasoned fries. They even sent a yummy tartar sauce, malt vinegar, and ketchup with my order. I'll definitely order again! read more

Fish undercooked and then overcooked. Owners were terrible to staff. Windows don't have shading so the sun blinds you the entire time. read more

This is by far the best restaurant in Rockport. The cocktails are delicious and the food is always on point. We started the evening with a Manhattan with Buffalo Trace bourbon while my husband had a Shiner. We skipped the appetizer because we were planning on dessert. My scallops were cooked just perfectly and the light lacing of balsamic added just a hint of tart and sweet. The risotto was delicious and the asparagus was the perfect vegetable complement to complete the dish. My husband was very pleased with his flounder and risotto. He ate it all which is the highest compliment. We had the chocolate brownie dessert with ice cream. Perfect closing for a perfect meal. Definitely make this restaurant a stop whenever you're in Rockport. We will definitely be back! read more

Start with the owners are two of the nicest, hardest working people in Rockport. Since acquiring it when it was operating under another name, they have transformed this restaurant into one of the best dining experiences in the Coastal Bend. Think owner involvement, passion and nothing left to chance. As travellng foodies, we are asked for recommendations often. Copano's is on our short list for friends and family. I have had steak, pork chops, seafood and a variety of other dishes as well as cocktails and never been disappointed. Copano's is on a different level than most small town restaurants. Enjoy! read more

We had a wonderful dinner here! Great drinks, great fish. Key Lime Crème Brûlée was amazing. Comfortable setting. Highly recommend!

Visiting Rockport for the first time. A different place with the same address came highly recommended but we discovered they changed owners/names. Naveya was our server. We started with an amazing Caesar salad-they split it for us. Also had the truffle fries which my son loved. He's not a fan of dips but the sauce they served it with was delicious. We orders the seafood Mac and cheese, shrimp scampi and blackened drum with risotto. All the food was amazing!!! My shrimp scampi was rich and full of flavor and creamy. We devoured everything!! We saved room for dessert/ key lime crème brûlée. That first bit was divine but the second bite I discovered the graham cracker crust. Dinner was worth every penny. Hubs also had the Burbounopolis drink which was refreshing. I ordered a very dirty martini but it was not the slightest bit cloudy so they brought more olive juice! Quiet and clean. Overall amazing place read more

This is the old Chesapeake 415 restaurant, and they maintain the old menu. The specials are fantastic... I had a panko breaded pork chop with green curry over Parmesan risotto. What a flavor explosion! They also featured blackjack farmed Aransas Bay oysters for 2 bucks an oyster. The farmed Texas Gulf oysters are comparable in flavor to blue points or pei oysters at about half the price. Delicious. Looks like they maintain Chesapeake's excellent bourbon collection as well. Hope these guys knock it out of the park! read more
