The restaurant is nestled directly on the Houston Ship Channel, so guests can watch freighters chug on by while enjoying their meal.

Only the freshest available seafood is offered, and you can taste the quality with each bite.

After kicking things off with an appetizer like shrimp cocktail or Gulf Coast oysters on the half shell, it's time for the main course.

From lighter fare such as soup and salad to six different types of fish, there's truly something for everyone. Get your fish grilled, broiled, or blackened, and topped with your choice of sauce (we're partial to the Ponchartrain, which features shrimp, crab, and mushrooms.)

Other seafood entrees include pasta, crab cakes, a variety of fried platters,

If you aren't a seafood lover, don't fret! There are plenty of options for landlubbers, including steak, chicken, and burgers.

Most entrees come with a basket of cinnamon rolls, but make sure to double-check the menu and order a few if yours doesn't.

So if the way to your heart is fresh seafood and waterfront views, look no further than Monument Inn. It's a treat for both your eyes and your stomach!
