Restaurants in Marblehead

“If I could give 10 stars I would. We have been going to A&D for months now and probably once a week on average. My 9yo son asks to eat there all the time. Why? Besides the food being delicious and just mouth watering (my favorite - the scallop tacos! every single time - not sure it's on the menu but ask for it!), but also because George & Nina and the rest of the crew take such amazing care of us. George is passionate about food, people and service. He lets us know when he has something delicious coming up on the menu so we can try it out. And if he feels something isn't right - he's not going to wait for you to say something.. he is very proactive! It truly feels like a family when we go in, we have such a great time :) Thanks George, keep up the amazing work, we are grateful for you.”

“We love going to Elia Taverna and bringing our family and friends there. The food is always fresh and delicious. It's a cozy spot that makes us feel as if we are back in Greece. It's nice to have an authentic Greek restaurant so close to home.”

“I had to order zero heat for dining companions...was pleasantly surprised by the delicious flavor...Massaman curry, Pad Thai, and especially the Indonesian fried rice.”

“My two favorite foods sound boring to some, but I can't help it -- I'm a savory food kind of person. I love nachos and I love BLTs, and it's amazing how many places have managed to not do these two things well. I have never been able to find a place that can make a good BLT, until now!I needed a quick lunch today and went here on a whim because it was close by. I saw they were closing soon, but there were people inside so I headed in. Sometimes small, local coffee shops can feel drafty or unkempt or just lifeless. As soon as I walked in, I felt like I'd want to sit there for hours. The temperature was just right, and the ambiance felt friendly and warm.I acknowledged that they were closing soon and asked if I could still order a sandwich. They replied in a way that felt welcoming, and not like I was imposing on them (which some places, 15 minutes prior to closing, would have). I ordered the BLT and used the restroom while I waited. Even the restroom was pleasant!I sat in one of the two window bays on a comfortable stool (again, perfect! sometimes they're way too high for a 4'10" to get up on, or off), with a complimentary cup of water (I love when cafes have serve yourself water). One of the servers brought my sandwich over and even on first glance I could tell it was going to be good. No wilted lettuce, no weird bread, perfect amount of mayo and bacon. It was the best BLT I've had at a restaurant, even better than I make at home.So, 5 stars for great ambiance, friendly, unrushed service, and a great BLT! I have no doubt that their other food is just as good.”

“Parents — Amores is a great option for bringing your kids out in town. It’s big enough that you shouldn’t have to stress about a long wait for a table; they have a great kids menu (with French fries if your kids are picky); and adults can enjoy their excellent food and margaritas. Their menu is much better and sophisticated than the typical suburban Mexican restaurant. Definitely better than the options in Salem, last I checked. The service was great too: prompt, friendly, accommodating.”

“Great spot to split a pizza!Prosciutto pizza was very delicious. Perfectly cooked and great crust. Truffle fries were so tasty, yum! Could eat these every day. Salad was fresh.Highly recommend for yummy food.”

“I woke this morning feeling amazing. It was in the atmosphere I could feel that tension between me and my wife. Eventually we did the usual if you know . Anyway I proceed to go to driftwood this morning. Got a stack a pancakes. Food was great and service was amazing. GOD BLESS!!!!!”

“We visit family in Marblehead and this is definitely one of the places on the short list, honestly, because of their menu offerings. Their fried shrimp is pretty darned good and their classic New England coleslaw accompaniment is done better than others around the area (many have a vinegar base)! Fries are solid, straight cut, and very good. We had Bacon Wrapped Scallops for an appetizer and we're impressed! The service was very pleasant and efficient. We had a round of drinks from the bar before dinner. The bloody mary was heavy on horseradish, the MBC Lunch seemed a little less than fresh, and the Switchback Amber was perfect! We will be back when we are in town, for certain.”

“Mino's is one of those great standbys for when you don't know what to make for lunch/dinner. The food is always fast & fresh. I'm a big fan of their Greek salad with grilled chicken and my other family members like their pizza and Philly cheesesteaks. A great local restaurant when you just need a fast and easy meal.Edit: I go to Mino's about once a month for years and have never been ill from the food, never questioned the food safety or cleanliness, and never had a sour experience with the staff. I wouldn't let one bad review sully their reputation. This place is always busy at the usual lunch and dinner times. Mino's has regulars for a reason.”

“Awesome food,very authentic and colorful food.Awesome assortment of Jarritos Soda. Awesome service nice genuine staff. Affordable prices, clean enviting atmosphere 5STAR EXPERIENCE, can't wait to return.”

“Super cute and easy to find . The drinks were good and the town is great location . So on your way see hocus pocus cemetery grab your self a refreshing drink for the walk . You won't be disappointed and everything reasonably priced and very clean and cool so you can relax and enjoy your drink before your next adventure.”

“My favorite neighborhood restaurant. Food is excellent. Service is wonderful. The owner is amazing. Everyone is very accommodating. Atmosphere is comfortable and inviting. Just a great place to go out for casual dining, family dinner. Or drinks with friends. Would highly recommend. Our favorite restaurant in Marblehead”

“Went this past weekend. Luckily made a reservation a week prior because it was packed! Very attentive service. No rush, but there when we needed him. We have cocktails at the Hidden Door before arriving so we order wine and beer straightaway. Apps were the Hamachi tartar - FANTASTIC. Onion soup - wonderful. Escargot - look at that s car go!.. Mains were equally wonderful. The skate wing was perfect. Frankly it was so good I forget what everyone else got. Desserts were also yummy. We opted for the honey lavender sorbet - light and refreshing. We'll be back!”

“This place is great! From the staff to the food, you can't go wrong. I love that they have so many healthy selections, while also being tasty! A bit pricey, but you get what you pay for. Try the beet juice and the Hot Chick wrap. You'll be addicted!”

“We hit all the recommended places our first couple days in marblehead, we continued to search for additional experiences to try. Our last afternoon we found this little place within walking distance (as most places are in marblehead) and reviews seemed good. Luckily they weren't busy so we didn't need a reservation at that time. After entering we were happily surprised by the decor and menu options, yet somehow we were even more surprised by our appetizers and then our entrées. After being told at another place our first night in marblehead that no restaurants served bread pudding, we ordered two when our server told us they had it (and they fresh and delicious). Had we been in town any longer we definitely would have returned to try some other options. We plan to be back in the area in the spring and we'll be making sure we have reservations.”
