Went for dinner tonight with friends and found my new favourite place to eat. So good, the flavours were perfect! Love the tapas style, makes it fun to share and order multiple things from the menu. Atmosphere was great, beautiful restaurant. Service was good, quick, friendly and welcoming. Recommend to everyone. Will be back!!

5 stars for everything up until desert. The tapas plates were really interesting, fairly priced, delivered quickly, and delicious. I especially loved the seafood bisque and the catch of the day. The dessert, unfortunately, was awful. The key lime pie was made with gelatin. It tasted faintly of limes, but had none of the lovely sharpness of a real key lime pie. It was like a grocery store pie. We also ordered a chocolate almond torte that was legitimately one of the least appealing desserts I've had. It was like a stale, brown, flavorless biscuit. The restaurant did not charge us when we complained. I just can't understand how something so unpleasant ever made it onto a plate when everything else was so good.

Had an amazing experience at Gabriela’s. The food was a culinary treat… really exceptional! Fresh and unique in presentation and taste. I personally had a spicy margarita… the soup of the day which was a delicious creamy chicken curry…. Followed by the watermelon salad with ahi tuna. We shared the chocolate almond torte for dessert…. Everything was soooo delicious! The atmosphere has a casual boho feel… The staff was attentive and the owner made us feel welcome. We will definitely be going back!!!

We made reservations for an early dinner based on recommendations. We were immediately seated when we got to Gabriela's and proceeded to place our drink order and then on to our tapas. Here's what we got: Croquettes made w/ Bacalao - 5 out of 5 Corn Ribs- 5 out of 5 Steak on mashed potatoes- 5 out of 5 Patatas Bravas - 2 out of 5 As you can tell, we enjoyed majority of what we ordered. The way the bravas was made was not exactly to my liking. I would have loved some aioli on it versus being served wet with the spicy tomato sauce. Service was fantastic. It was quick and we were well attended. The restaurant itself is small but nicely laid out. It was not noisy which is always a plus. Their special dish for the evening was paella which we did not go with but the table next to us seemed to enjoy the seafood paella. All in all, it's a nice place with good food.

This was the best steak I've ever had in my life! Whenever I get medium well at other places, they always overcook it. They cooked mine perfectly with just the right amount of pink. It was tender and juicy with some kind of gravy like sauce to dip it in. There was explosive flavor in every bite. Not to mention the ever so delectable potatoes beneath it that were mouth wateringly delicious. I was transported to a world of pure flavor town that engulfed every essence of my being. Unfortunately, I was on a work trip, so I may never get to experience it again. I will always remember the night I had that steak and potatoes, though, as it will likely never be topped by anything else for the rest of my days. The atmosphere was great, too. They were playing good music that seemed to enhance the other worldly experience this food provided. All the employees were friendly as well.

Everything was perfection! Our group of 4 ordered several different tapas and loved all of them. The food here is really, really good- as are the cocktails! Our waitress was darling and atmosphere so nice. Background music was soft enough so not to overpower our conversations. Love, love, love this place! Excellent everything!

I 100% recommend Gabriela’s Seafood + Tapas. Had a girls night with some friends. We tried Gabriela’s for the first time together & we all had a great experience. Getting there was super easy & even though it was dinner time we found a place to park. We sat at the bar & I ordered the corn ribs, seafood tacos & for dessert Miguelitos. Loved the atmosphere & the employees were super friendly & informational. Very clean, chic & perfect for the Rockport area. •Loved the corn ribs, super tasty & roasted to perfection. They were plated beautifully & with care. •The seafood tacos were so bomb! So much flavor, and FULL. Sometimes you get tacos and there’s barely any food inside. This wasn’t the case! Definitely recommend these tacos. •The Miguelitos were yummy!! Served with two. I ate the other so fast I didn’t get a picture. So light, flaky and not overly sweet, just perfect. •Also, I got to taste the guacamole & salsa. They were so FRESH! So, yes grab you some to start off with.

Gabriella's restaurant is a true culinary treasure. From the first bite to the last, I was captivated by the exquisite flavors and artistry of the dishes. The service was exceptional, with a staff that was not only attentive but also incredibly knowledgeable about the menu. The atmosphere was both cozy and refined, making it the perfect setting for a special evening. Gabriella's attention to detail, both in their cuisine and hospitality, is truly commendable. It's a dining experience that leaves a lasting impression and sets a high standard for excellence. If you're seeking an outstanding restaurant experience, look no further than Gabriella's.

Gabriela’s tonight was OUTSTANDING!! So excited to see a young 22 year old woman running her own restaurant with Dad by her side. This is amazing! Scott came and chatted with us and the food was simply amazing! So happy to have tapas style Mexican cuisine right here in Rockport! Cannot wait to return!

Fantastic new restaurant in Rockport, TX! The food is fresh, healthy and absolutely delicious. The Ahi tuna tostada is perfection! So are the corn ribs! Gabriela's salmon salad is so mouthwateringly flavorful that we have returned three times in two weeks. The food is served tapas style so you can try many dishes. The space is beautiful and we toured the add-on section that hasn't opened yet. It features water views and retractable windows that bring the sea breeze inside. The service was excellent--attentive, knowledgeable and friendly. The owner and chef are charming and approachable. We will return again and again. :)
