find a more satisfying dining experience anywhere; especially
one where the attentive service is as remarkable as the savory
food."

Lobster Thermidor, one of the rotating daily
features, is sautéed with shrimp, heavy cream, shallots,
mushrooms, sherry wine and topped with hollandaise sauce.

It’s always great to eat at a restaurant where the
owner is the chef, but it’s especially rewarding when that restaurant
serves locally caught seafood where a little attention to detailing with
local suppliers ensures quality and freshness. This is the case here,
and there’s no shortage of appealing dishes on the menu in addition to
the nightly chef’s specials. There are non-seafood dishes as well,
including beef, chicken, and vegetarian options. The dining room is
simple, comfortable, and attractive. The tables are well separated, and
the walls serve as gallery space, holding works by local artists. ***

…..we sipped well-made martinis at the bar, then
moved on to the white-tablecloth dining room, where classic renditions
of escargot in a Pernot cream sauce and crème brulee are winners.

“Among the specials that evening was a plate of
Celestial Shrimp, in which the plump crustaceans were crusted in
Parmesan cheese and served in a crème reductions flavored with
shallots, white wine and lemon. It led perfectly to the excess of Mahi
Mahi Oscar, in which the sweet fish was topped with a hollandaise sauce
laden with crabmeat and asparagus. The sauce itself was a work of art
to match the nature scenes of the walls. Next time I want to try it
with the beef tenderloin.

We like this airy space (colorful artwork, white
tablecloths, paired with blond wood chairs); so do all the other
patrons (the place has been expanding and now has a new bar). We
expected nothing less than fresh seafood and were pleased with the
results, form the shrimp cocktail with a not-to-spicy red sauce to the
catch of the day, black drum, which we and a friend had broiled and
prepare two ways: with tarragon and a garlic-butter compote, and topped
with crab and asparagus and then covered in decadent hollandaise.

Dear Craig and Ramona,
We wanted to thank you for our wonderful dining experience on the
evening of Sept. 8, 2006. We have sampled the cuisine in virtually all
of the restaurants in the Rockport/Fulton area from time to time, and I
must say Latitude 28.02 is absolutely the best of them all. Your menu
selections, food preparation, plating and presentation, choice of herbs
and seasonings, and service are all impeccable. Best of all, your
pricing is quite reasonable. We will certainly be in again for a visit
on our next trip to Rockport.
Best Wishes to you and your staff,
Wanda and Chuck Sirmans

Dear Ramona and Craig,
My wife and I had dinner with you all last Friday evening, a week ago
today. We were the folks looking for a posted menu when you, Craig saw
us on the porch, invited us in and off we went from there………..Amy had
the grouper with special mango salsa and I had absolutely the best
black drum I’ve ever had, a simple sauté. I’m serving salmon with mango
salsa this evening to eight, couscous and gently steamed asparagus. An
apple pie just came out of the oven………All of which is to say that our
evening with you was terrific, memorable, and an inspiration, in some
measure, for the evening’s menu. We just wanted you to know.
We’ll be back before year’s end and hope to spend another fine evening
in your company.
Amy and Bill
