“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 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!“

“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.“

“As the inventor of the fried clam, this place destroyed almost all other places that sell fried clams.
The fried clams that I had here yesterday were the best that I ever had! The slaw was good too.
This place is huge and is able to handle large crowds.
There are two separate lines/counters for beverages vs food. There are free drink refills on the fountain drinks.
The staff here does a great job.
I am thankful that I learned of this place and was able to go here.
They offer ice cream, but it is seasonal.
I really do need to reassess my prior fried clam restaurant choices…
Thanks a lot“

“Cala’s is the Bee’s Knees! I am blown away with the quality of food and especially the service!

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.“

“Lexi's cooks their hamburgers on a skillet. You do not have to eat charbroiled meat. That is why we love to eat Lexi's hamburgers. They also have gluten-free buns. That is the second reason why we will always eat Lexi's hamburgers. The meat is delicious and there is gluten-free which very few places offer.“

“Delicious breakfast! Everything cooked perfectly!“
