Very disappointed with the 525. Food is normally great with slow service though. Last night, the food was terrible, everything. My friend was celebrating her birthday and got a chicken bone in her food, which was too salty to begin with. My burger might've been great had it been warm. But it was so cold. It was hard to even eat. The spinach and artichoke dip had a pool of green oil floating on the top,

We ended up here tonight on a whim and were so happy we did! Everything was delicious and the people were friendly. We sat outside on the patio which was perfect on a beautiful summer night. The baked haddock, green beans and potatoes were fresh, cooked just right, and tasty. My husband loved the salmon tacos and my daughter enjoyed the kids pizza (plenty big by the way!). We also had the nachos and cauliflower, both which were very yummy and generously sized. Small but decent craft beer selection. Friendly server and hostess. Definitely going to save this one as one of our new go-to restaurants for future visits to the area.

We love visiting this restaurant. In addition to the food being of consistently excellent quality, the staff are so friendly and thoughtful. I have a unique dietary restriction that can make eating out tricky to navigate, and the chef himself came out to talk with me about what went into an entree so that I could make an informed decision. Then he came back out again to check and see if I was happy with it (BIG YES!) Some of our favorite meals are the Smash Burger, the Fish Tacos, and the Asian Short Ribs. This place is well appointed without being fussy; a great restaurant for a date and a safe place to bring a young wiggly kid. It’s easily one of the best kept secrets on the North Shore!

We went here after visiting Hammond Castle. It was perfect. We sat in one of the slightly elevated booths. Had tacos and classic burger which were both awesome. We saw many large parties there so they accommodate those. Atmosphere was local and unique. Service was outstanding from the host that greeted us to the waiter who served us. It was a little noisy but I guess that’s a plus for some.

A very comfortable local restaurant. Limited menu choices but everything was delicious. They also have a Sunday brunch, also delicious.

Steak tips they use root-bear so it has some sweetness to it

I wish I could rate the food; but I never received any service! My family and I had a reservation for 7:30pm on a Saturday. We arrived a little bit early, but weren’t seated until 8:00pm. After being seated off in the back corner of the restaurant, my table waited ANOTHER 20 minutes before even receiving water! By the time we decided to cut our losses and eat elsewhere, around 8:45pm, we hadn’t even met our waiter.
I may order delivery, or even pickup, from this restaurant (I’d still like to try their food!), but I will never make the mistake of dining in here again.
Excellent food, beautiful atmosphere, great live music & absolutely amazing drinks!!!! Thank you so very much Christine M. for inviting us to such a beautiful & delicious place!!
Went with a friend for dinner. Seemed pretty well staffed but service was terrible. Food was worse. Friend ordered a scallop entree with spinach mushroom risotto, was like mush and scallops very overcooked. I ordered braised rib sandwich on brioche with fries. Wayyy over cooked, salty and dry. Fries were good. Waitress nowhere to be seen. Overall not a good experience.

I took a seat at the bar. Seated to my right there was a couple dining, and to my left, there were 3 empty stools. I was given a menu and had to ask for a beverage list. Several moments later a couple was occupying the stools to my left. I was finished looking at the menu when I noticed the couple to my left were being asked what they wanted to order. WOW, REALLY!?! I looked around, I looked at the television screen thinking I must have not followed some "protocol." That's when the server returned and asked the couple to my right if they wanted anything else. Typically, I use those moments as teachable moments, but I have too many in recent years, and quite honestly, it's not my job. My parents taught me manners and I am well educated. Too bad the folks around me didn't have the same upbringing and schooling. I am a Black woman, and I don't have to follow jim crow protocols.

Visited the castle museum and ended up having lunch here. It was unexpectedly good! Good food, service and nice outdoor seating. Haven’t had shrimp pizza for a long long time and it was so fresh!
