Nice spot for dinner and people watching if dining outdoors. We had the halibut crudo - a table favorite, and a few other dishes(not super noteworthy) but the lobster dish was also delish.

Our second visit, after a precovid introduction to your restaurant. Service was spot on, as were the selections of sea delicacy's. Oysters cold, Briny and delicious. Crudo refreshing and our entrees perfect. Bar cocktails perfection! Dessert menu lacking so we had after dinner drinks. Lovely evening

Brine has something for everyone. Start with some of the small plates great for sharing and then enjoy one of the mains. They have a nice wine and cocktail selection to complement your tastes.

Delicious meal with friends at Brine. Food was incredible. Service was great. We ordered the surf & turf special, duck, lamb and tuna. Wonderful and unique medley of ingredients across all dishes. Highly recommend!

The service was great although our waitress could have checked on our food sooner. We were very disappointed with the $84 seafood tower especially that the oysters were extremely small and from California (why not local?!) and had a lot of shell in them. The drinks and atmosphere was great.

We've been going to Brine for nearly 10 years. Always amazing food & drinks, fun environment & great service! We've never had a bad experience there! Great oysters, seafood & steaks!

We had not been to Brine since their renovations which came out beautiful with an open and airy space with a open accordion front and outdoor seating. We started out wanting oysters as they had Wellfleet which are our favorite but ended up with a tower called the Overboard all things raw & fried which was delicious, well worth the $64.00. After that we were too full for entrees so we shared the Spanish Octopus small plate which was very tasty. My husband had an Angel Envy Old Fashion that he said was one of the best he ever had. The entire staff was friendly and welcoming and our server Anne was a sweetheart. Already planning our next visit.

The tuna tartare appetizer, pasta and steaks were absolutely delicious. We absolutely loved Abbie the bartender- she was kind and helpful throughout our entire experience. Favorite spot north of Boston

Great oysters. Crudo is one of my favorite dishes but I am not a fan of the fruit/sweet flavors. If you are, you will probably like them here. Many dishes were on the sweeter side rather than savory so I ended up stopping my meal at oysters and a martini.

For such a fancy place I would think they would have better gin. They did good with what they had.

The service was friendly and timely. One of the managers/owners also helped suggest other places in Newburyport for fresh unfried seafood. Thank you!

Brined hosted our rehearsal dinner and I have to se it was spectacular. We worked with Paul during the planning process and him and his staff went above and beyond for us. We did a full buy out on Friday night in august it was clearly the right choice as people kept trying to come
In for dinner all night. The food was spectacular, our guests were amazed by the raw bar and the cocktails were next level. Paul and the brine team really helped kick our wedding weekend off with a bang. We will be back in the years to come !!

The food and service were excellent. The decor is very light and airy, with large open window fronting the street. We recommend the clam and pork chowder; thinner in consistency than a regular clam chowder, but boy, the savory taste with clams and pork belly, make it a must have. Apparently this item has been on the item for years, since the restaurant opened. Definitely worth a visit and revisit. The server was very knowledgeable about the menu and how the food was prepared. She was friendly and atentive, making the whole lunch a real treat.

Great food. Fantastic Oysters. The Brine burger is the best burger - no exaggeration - that I have ever had. An absolute 10 out of 10. We have also tried many of their seafood plates. Never had anything less than a great meal at Brine. Dan is a great bartender and server and everyone else we have met has been both friendly and helpful. Absolutely recommended.
