“Outstanding service and food - can’t wait to return. Staff was awesome !“

“My family and I have been going to IHOP for years now without a single mess-up. Today, they accidentally messed up my order, and I called back asking if they could do anything about it. They immediately remade my meal for me and had a driver send it out. THIS IS HOW ALL BUSINESS SHOULD BE! I will be coming here even more because of my experience today. Great Staff! Amazing food!“

“An Ipswich staple, they have the best sandwiches and roast beef. Always good for grabbing a cheesesteak, roast beef, or chicken salad to name a few of my favorites!“

“Place is so unique! Love the antique feel! Had a wonderful time dining on the patio with friends!“

“We thought this place was absolutely awesome. Very clean, private. Very well run and everyone Very friendly. Very modern rooms but still has the historical charm throughout. Breakfast just a few steps down the hall. Very close to all historical places we enjoyed visiting. We will definitely return and highly recommend.“

“It was very cold inside but where we sat was not crowded. Would have liked to have a Malbec available for my father. The bartender Corey was a rock star, but I do think on game days there should be a server to help him. He was running bar, bar tables, floor and outside. He was amazing but still a lot to be responsible for. We will definitely return, we enjoyed watching the game.“

“My husband and two of our closest friends came in for lunch yesterday and had a great first time experience Our server, Vie came over to us right away and greeted us, took our drink order and made me the best dirty martini I ever had. It was perfect. Vie made our stay very enjoyable. Her sweet personality and service made it a memorable experience. We’ll be back soon!!!! Thank you Vie“

“Loved everything from the greeting by Phyllis to the perfect lemon drop by the bartender to the warm bread to the pork scallopine (rated a 10 by its consumer) to the complimentary birthday cookie sundae that was scrumptious!“

“We hosted my son's high school graduation party in the Bramble room + the upstairs lounge. From start to finish, the staff made the process easy and well organized. While we wanted to host a nice party, we also wanted to keep the costs reasonable. The team was creative with their suggestions and helpful in accommodating our requests. Not hosting this event at home, allowed us to really enjoy our guests and to leave the planning up to the experts. Everyone loved the food and the service staff went out of their way to make this a memorable night! Thanks again!“

“Our favorite date night restaurant!! We love Berry Tavern! Great food, great drinks and great service!“

“Fresh, local, delicious! Will be back! Great service! So yummy!! Hubby's new fave restaurant, super fresh!“

“I hosted our office event at Double Bull last night, with Musical Bingo in the Avalon room. It was absolutely fantastic! From the service to the food to the drinks! Our server, Jackie, is the sweetest and so accommodating! Rebecca the House/Event manager was a doll! She was so considerate, helpful and detailed oriented in planning the event. She even had our company logo on the menu! The office will be talking about this one for a long time. Thanks ladies from all of us!“

“Great food - dinner and dessert! Great views. And the staff is so friendly. Highly recommend!“

“OMG Best breakfast ever. Got a western omelet and I must say was the best one one I've had in years. My daughter got the veggie omlet and is the first time I've ever seen her clean her plate! Will definitely go here from now on. No other restaraunt can will ever top this place. Good coffee, friendly people, great service, and great prices. I highly recommend this place to anyone wanting the best! I'm not the only one that likes it there. There was only one empty table left. Wheelchair access, handicap parking nesr the front door that makes it an easy access for those needing it. Will definitely go back there. Hard to find anywhere with a breakfast this good.“

“The Grog is such a historic establishment. I remember going there when I was young and going back every time I am in Newburyport Wonderful chowder and food. Reasonable pricing and friendly servers.“

“Had a very nice lunch here with 3 adults and 2 kids (ages 3 and 2).

The food was good as always but the server was evrn better. She was so kind and patient with our grandkids. She mentioned she had 3 of her own and understood a day out with young kids.

We will definitely be back there for both the food and the awesome service!“

“Good food, great drinks !! Nice water view !! A little noisy though !! Thanks for a wonderful evening Sharon D.“

“My wife and I have not had much luck with dining out lately so when it came to picking a restaurant for our anniversary dinner I was nervous that I would find the right place. I came across Nine Elm and read the reviews. They were amazing. So we made a reservation but I was still cautiously optimistic. Things could not have gone better! We arrived and where we were seated was noising, not what we wanted for an anniversary dinner. When I asked the waitress if there was a quieter spot she went to speak to the manager in we were moved immediately. The general atmosphere of the restaurant is nice and the staff is very friendly but professional. The wine was lovely and the food delicious. We ordered the duck and the swordfish special and they were both cooked to perfection. For dessert we split a Creme Brule. The custard was light and creamy a pleasant surprise. We had an amazing time. We will be back!“

“Thank you so much for a great experience. We loved the decor and the food was delicious. Thanks to Jacob, Natalie, Mico and of course my sister Karen for a wonderful experience. Thank you to Margaret and Matt for welcoming us. Excellent Marie (Butt) Washington“

“This is one of the best restaurants in town. The entire staff is so friendly and all have the attitude of a humble servant. The owner and his wife personally helped serve us today. The food is unique, delicious and plentiful. Prices are also reasonable. Highly recommend. New Brothers in Danvers.“

“Cala’s is the Bee’s Knees! I am blown away with the quality of food and especially the service! Golden nachos COVERED in tender pulled pork and fresh cheese, chicken tenders are hand battered and well seasoned, hand cut french fries cooked to perfection. Food and service have been superb, consistent, and dependable. Definitely a regular spot for us.“

“Delicious food, great variety, and easy online ordering!!!“

“The rolls that the subs are made with always taste fresh, not dry like some places in the area. The staff are always friendly and polite.“

“Great service amazing staff“

“Extraordinary! Restaurant Week menu in Nport is superior to any other places. My first time and I will be back for sure.“

“Never had a bad meal at this place“

“The steak tips and scallops ate the perfect meal.. always on point. Big juicy scallops, and steak tips always cooked right. Never had a bad meal here. GREAT food..“

“We had lunch there on 06/28/21. We had an appointment at Anna Jacques and let the waitress know that we were in a hurry. She put a rush on our meals. The food was great, especially the fries! The waitress gave excellent, friendly service. We will be back!“

“The bartender is awesome beautiful, so that's a W for sure but shes always dancing around and her vibes are contagious. Poors a hell of a drink and always smiling ! My favorite part is FRIDAYS when Dj skully is Blazing beats. Awesome spot.

Vegetarian options: Who cares it's a bar.. maybe icecubes?“

“I haven't been there for years and have been thinking about it so I finally ordered a Yankee Pot Roast. It was superb and I will definitely be back but I was disappointed they didn't include gravy for my double order of mashed. I will be specific next time. I gotta try the prime rib too, I never had a bad steak there.“

“Always a good meal and relaxing atmosphere. Thanks Larry!“

“Excellent food! service is so/so. Plenty of parking. salads are nice variety, and freshness ingredients. My favorite dish is the curry cauliflower appetizer. I would go back for that one dish alone!
Not too handicap friendly. so many hi-top tables which are not very comfortable and difficult to sit in if you are older. we went friends and had to request a booth because of the uncomfortable nature of the high tops, but none were available. We were told it would be a 20 minute wait. However I did see an area on the other side of the bar that was not high top that could have worked for them. In the end we sat in the hi-tops with a wobbly table. My suggestion is to have more comfortable chairs at least if hi-tops are half of the restaurant. and make sure the tables are steady. just was awkward and not comfortable to have a meal.
Service was OK. they missed our appetizer, and it came after the meal. In the end, im glad that the curry cauliflower was the last taste in my mouth because it was so good.
I had the beet and walnut salad. My wife had garden salad with shrimp added. Our guests had salads as well.“

“Delicious food Nice atmosphere Friendly people Worth the trip“

“If I lived locally and were not staying at this hotel I would still come here for dinner.
The baked haddock was outstanding.
Emma, my server, was fantastic.
As a pilot I travel all over and eat all over…this place is excellent.“

“I am a long time customer (1975) Nick's is absolutely the best there is! Once when I had a broken leg, Nick helped me (and my sandwiches etc.)out to my car. Not only great roast beef but compassionate!😍“

“I go to Woodman's for the best scallops and the haddock is sooo good, too. Clams are loose and juicy - whereas down the road they are tight and crispy - so there is preference and debate about that. I have loved Woodman's for years. Love the place - clam people should explain their preferences a bit more :).
It's a fried seafood place - so get fried seafood - split a platter rather than chowder and cake if you want a lighter meal :)“

“Best fried clams you can find!!!“

“The most delicious pancakes ever great service too“

“My friend and I went to Mission today. First of all Tim was our server at the bar. He is truly the epitome of a great bartender. My martini was a Belvedere with blue cheese stuffed olives and it was so good I ordered another. My friend wanted non alcoholic beer and they had two good choices Stella and Mich Ultra 0. Not too many restauarants have two good choices of non alcoholic beers. Tim was attentive and engaging. Haven’t been to a restaurant recently where the bartender was awesome so I appreciated him and his appreciation of us as customers. We started with the mussels and the wings. Both delish! We ended with the Thai Short Rib app. It came with thin onion rings. And that was also delicious. Would be my go to place when I want to go out and have great food and service.“

“The "appetizer" short rib poutine!! 100%YUMMO! Two of us ate it and still had leftovers! And the raging honey garlic wings were amazing... just the right amount of spice and cooked too perfection!!“

“I WENT TO REV YESTERDAY FOR THE FIRST TIME TO MEET MY SON FOR LUNCH I WAS APPROACHED BY CORY AS OUT WAITER. HE WAS ATTENTIVE KIND AND EXPLAINED EVERYTHING ON THE MENU. WE WERE VERY HAPPY WITH THE SERVICE THAT HE GAVE US I WILL DEFINTIELY LET PEOPLE KNOW WHERE TO GO TO EAT AND ASK FOR CORY HES THE BEST!! THANK YOU CORY“

“Fun atmosphere. Good service and food“

“Nancy's is our favorite local breakfast place! Nancy is the sweetest, and her servers are fantastic, too. The flavored coffee drinks are wonderful, the homemade muffins are delicious, and we love the unique breakfast entrees, like the Cali bowl with tater tots and the sweet potato toasties. My husband really likes the French toast and the biscuit breakfast sandwiches, as well. We eat here at least once a week and highly recommend it to others!!“

“best coffee great food 😋 I highly recommend the Melts smoothies are the best I really love Daily harvest“

“We loved the uncommon beer selections and atmosphere! So much that we stopped in twice both night we were in town.“

“Delicious breakfast! Everything cooked perfectly!“

“excellent restaurant and bar!…. nice people my issue is the fact when I was leaving this evening I was absolutely eaten alive by mosquitoes… is it just me?� I never in my life been swarmed like that“

“Just left, the food was good, but the service and atmosphere was amazing and got right in after a 50 min quote at competitor down the street. Will definitely return. Keep that waitstaff happy because they made all the difference“

“My hat's off to the wait staff there. While my wife and I were trying to leave there today there was a tremendous rain downpour. A couple of young staff scrambled to find an umbrella. One of the help came over to us as we stood just outside the entry door and handed us the umbrella and said that someone left it behind probably months ago and asked us to take it. This is just a sample of the attentiveness of the staff at Angie's. We always have a great dining experience there.“
