“I was just there tonight which is Boxing Day 2022. I am giving black cow a a 3 because I was shocked at the prices. We had 1 sushi roll,1 shrimp app and 3 drinks ..90 bucks. (Don’t forget a Jim bean rocks with 1 good cherry 14 dollars) and about 1 1/2 fingers of amaretto straight)for 11 dollars) You’re better off spending your money somewhere else.. honestly. I’m a chef and understand rising costs however this is crazy however the service was pretty solid.“

“We sat at the bar, our furst visit. A remodeled church with a friendly welcoming staff. A cozy and classy atmosphere. The food was fantastic, drinks were great, bartenders engaging, not intrusive nor evasive. They were great.
The worst thing I can say about our visit... the air conditioning could use servicing, but it wasn't sweltering hot or seriously uncomfortable, just noticeable. So, no complaints!! We will definitely be back again! So, should you find yourself in the vicinity of Newburyport MA... I highly recommend it. I'll get pictures next time!!“

“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!“

“Always excellent! Have been coming for 10+ years !“

“Man lemme tell you, this what a diner is meant to be. Family owned and full of personality, with a short menu of inspired twists on diner classics, all fantastic and none overwrought. Standouts were the stuffed French toast, hoaty’s favorite combo and the pork eggs Benedict. Oops that’s everything I had. Perfect scores across the board.“

“Yummy healthy food to go!!!“

“Saturday October 4, 2025 I had the pleasure of having Lucy as our waitress. We were a party of 6, ordered dinner and drinks. I am not a beer drinker(sorry) so Lucy took the time to explain your Island District drinks to me. I left with a four pack after an amazing night of music, family, and good friends. Lucy and the team that were short staffed and super busy. She didn’t miss a beat. Amazing testament to your establishment . Looking for to our next visit!“

“It's been mostly awesome. My major critique would be the breakfast potatoes served for breakfast and brunch for the amount of money you're charging you would be well. served to actually make them fresh (they currently seemed like something you would buy in bulk in a bag in Walmart and just throw on a pan in an oven no seasoning, clearly premade, store-bought, lowest quality-more like potato chunks, not even home fries) and including the bread assortment as part of the breakfast would also be a nice touch the fact that you have to pay for that now - when it used to be included - is just kind of ridiculous when the prices are much higher than anywhere in the area and I know we're paying for the view but like it's still silly! I will say your lunch salads are a wonderful deal!“

“it was really really cold as still had nice core of regulars. waitress very nice. BUT MY GOD THE PENDANT LIGHTING FIXTURE WAS LIKE SOME 200 WATT ENERGY SAVER BULB TGAT WOILD BE TOO HARSH FOR YOUR LAUNDRY ROOM. they wouldn't dim it until kitchen closed. policy i was told. if you're going avoid sitting in a booth. and ashworth is you're reading this: what the hell man?“
