“We LOVE Loretta Restaurant. It is our favorite go to for a girl's luncheon, a romantic dinner, or a dinner out with friends. The food is superb, we have never had anything but delicious mouth watering lunches and dinners. The meals are made to order and you can ask for special care for allergies. We have never been rushed so the table can turn over! The wait staff is personable and a pleasure. I highly recommend a visit and a meal, if you do you will come back! And the owner is always there to make sure things run smoothly and all leave happy!“
“This place has delicious seafood. Here you order your meal at a window inside of the restaurant and then wait in the dining area until you are called to return to the window and pick up your food. There is plenty of seating in the dining room and I found it to be very clean. The order taker at the window seemed pleasant and helpful. You can order a mini meal that comes with one side dish or you can order a larger plate that is served with two side dishes. I opted for the mini meal and I got the fried scallops with french fries as my side dish. The scallops were delicious and the fries were very good as well. If you come here but want something other than seafood they do offer other items such as chicken sandwiches, hamburgers and chicken fingers. If you are a seafood lover though, I would definitely order some seafood here. You won't be disappointed. This is an excellent dining destination and I would certainly like to go back.“
“We were very excited to try the Blue Marlin from reviews we’ve seen. I have to mention our initial reaction was a little sketchy when we first entered and encountered the hostess. She looked at my family (including me, my wife & 2 adult daughters) and asked… “What can I do for you?” with an unwelcoming look on her face we interpreted to mean What are you people doing here? If we weren’t celebrating my wife’s birthday I probably would have left. She brought us to our table, literally threw the menus on the table and said someone would be with us. THANKFULLY, our server came and was super friendly. Everything else went well. The food was pretty good and seemed fresh. We also enjoyed the atmosphere. The only other slight disappointment, though not a big thing, was I mentioned my wife’s birthday to our server but no special recognition was afforded her. Would probably like to return and try it again.Wheelchair accessibility: Felt that interior restaurant tables might be a little too close to allow for easy wheelchair access“
“Zeno’s has always been great, but it’s time to face the facts; over the last couple years they’ve gone to another level entirely and are, by far, the best Beef spot in Massachusetts. While other trendy spots in the North Shore have become obsessed with pretentiously packing as much (average) beef as possible into their sandwich to get looks on social media or whatever, Zeno’s keeps it OG and uses appropriate but never thrifty amounts of their absolutely untouchable beef in every sandwich, making it a much more well balanced sandwich experience overall. There’s always a hint of “spice” to their beef but once again, unlike other spots, they don’t overdo it in an attempt to club you over the head. They simply let their untouchable product shine. Add to this some of the friendliest employees you’ll ever find anywhere to the mix and you have the stuff of legend. Zeno’s is the king.“
“Parking: 100 feet off Rt 133, 26 feet max from Restaurant door. Perfect for a rain day.Kid-friendliness: Kids can enjoy helping, their parents, get Condiments. Friendly family booths. Great whoopie Pies.Wheelchair accessibility: Bathrooms are huge. The place is new and designed well.“
“Dined at Seaglass for first time to celebrate my daughter's birthday. There were six of us. I gave it 4 stars vs 3 based on atmosphere, views and experience. Restaurant was not full on Friday night so we sat by the window. Views of the ocean and waves even at night are amazing. Restaurant itself has a great vibe and nice lighting. Food and service were not as great. Good for an average restaurant but for a $500 bill, I'd expect a higher level of service and food quality. Service was somewhat slow and not as attentive as you'd expect, but server was friendly and doing her best. Our group had a range of entrees from lobster rolls to filet and baked haddock. Lobster rolls were excellent, as was the burger. Haddock was just OK and catch of the day was average. Entrees only come with 1-2 small sides, no salads. I'd visit again for the views of the ocean and recommend sticking with a more basic entree for the price.“
“Sea Level is so great, just as high quality as the Salem counterpart. If you're craving seafood definitely go here. I was on the fence about getting the Poke bowl on their specials menu but I'm so glad I did get it, it really blew my mind!“
“I have eaten at Park Lunch a few times for lunch. It is a pub/tavern atmosphere. The service has always been polite and attentive. I have never had a bad meal here. I especially enjoyed their fried clams and Tuna Melt. You can't go wrong here, especially for fried seafood!“
“Great service last night. Renee was delightful. Cheery and made us feel "special". She suggested all her favorites and never left us with an empty glass of wine. Food was outstanding and we won't have to cook for 2 days with leftovers.“
“I have been going to Niko's now almost every week for the past year, and although I think their food is fantastic, they just won me over their incredible customer service as well.I ordered delivery last night to my hotel roof through the website, and I mistakenly put down the wrong room number.After about an hour, I called to check on my delivery, as I knew they were closing in 10 minutes, and wanted to make sure the order was recieved.I was told it had been delivered, but to another room, once again my fault. The owner was direct they wanted to correct it, and they did so at no charge.Customer service at it's best!“
“Great little spot with outdoor seating in the Lot. Great group of guys whipping up some fierce seafood! I usually get the hot lobster roll and clams special but you can't go wrong with traditional roll either . Always good portion always good prices.“
“I stopped by to make a pickup order. Clean counters and walls. The cashier and cooks were well mannered. I forgot my wallet but they patiently waited while I looked up my bank number. Very welcoming for my first impression.I ordered a large Chicken Broccoli Alfredo pizza to go and it was done in five minutes. The pizza was flavorful and topped generously. I don't think it could have been done better. Not to mention that the prices are very fair for the quality you receive.“
“One of the best seafood restaurants in New England. On weekends extremely busy and crowded and ambiance is like eating in a bus station unless you bring your food outside. But these guys are totally impressive filling orders quickly-they have the process totally down. Fried clams and onions rings are amazingly fresh and portions are big. Good coleslaw. Chowder is a little too thin and milky. Free soda refills. Definitely worth a special trip.“
“Having grown up on Cape Ann, we have eaten at every seafood restaurant around. Farnham's is quintessential Cape Ann New England Seafood. It is our fav in the area. So fresh, perfect clams every time, yummy milky style chowder amazing french fries and rings..and by the way the best hand made veggie burger hands down. They always have something affordable on the menu like fish and chips etc. Oh and amazing fish and blackened chicken tacos!“
“Excellent atmosphere, drinks, and service! What a hidden gem that we are so glad we stumbled upon this past week. So sorry to hear that a developer who owns the strip this fun beach bar is located on will be tearing everything down to put up brand new condos. Where are the people who buy those condos going to go for fun? Please save The Dolphin! Music, game nights, and great atmosphere to hang out and enjoy the ocean views while meeting and mingling with some great people!!“
“My new go to place in Middleton. Have been here multiple times and gotten pizza, chicken wings, roast beef sandwich, and salads. Food and service are great. We ate in one time and service was similar to a restaurant with a waiter. They brought the food to our table and checked in with us multiple times. Highly recommended.“
“Went there for lunch today & on the recommendation of a friend,. my husband & I both ordered the liver & onions. It was one of the best we've ever had. Liver was so tender you could cut it with your fork. We will definitely be going there more often.“
“The food here is always good. Great pizza, steak & cheese subs & north shore roast beef sandwiches (iykyk). The thing that takes this place to the next level is their service. Everyone there is always so nice. Tonight I came in to pick up a pizza with my 3-year old daughter and multiple employees behind the counter waved and said hi. One even gave her a free brownie- it made her night!! Can't say enough positive things - 110 is our go to for takeout pizza and subs and will be for a long time.“
“Starboard Galley is one of the restaurants that's been in Newburyport for a while and for good reason. The food is great and the restaurant has a traditional New England ocean side restaurant feel to it. Dave, Gary, and the whole team do a great job to provide high quality food and a great coastal dining experience.“
“I have continually gone there with friends for lunch. We usually order the platter for one at lunchtime is plenty of food for two people I have done this at least 20 times. Nothing changes everything is perfect. We get the combination onion rings and french fries with it. It comes with haddock clams scallops shrimp just amazing wonderful seafood, the best on the North Shore. I've been going there since they open four years ago and I've never had anything bad. All their luncheon specials are really a deal , the seafood is fantastic clam chowder, perfect coleslaw, perfect and their steak tips and steaks are probably the best in the area. I give them five stars and would give them them more if I could.“
“We found this quite by accident as we had no specific place in mind for dinner. Very happy we took a chance as everyone in our party of 5 loved our dishes. Very small venue so reservations probably necessary. Bar seating is available. The chairs were not very comfy but I think that is by design.“
“I love Brine. I tend to sit at the bar and the bartender staff is always so friendly and on point with their drinks and service. Love how often ownership change up the menu with seasonal selections too. But wish they'd keep a few of the hot ticket items on the menu for good!“
“It was a good surprise for us. My husband I went to Mass Audubon, and on the way home, we ate late lunch there. I ordered Chicken kabob salad, my husband got Lamb kabob salad. Chicken was delicious! It was grilled so taste very good. My husband liked his lamb. The portion is very big! The price is reasonable. The french fries are good too. We will stop by next time when we visit Audubon again!“
“Very happy to have this place in Middleton. I was going to write best Italian northshore but then thought of Marcos—but found out they are sister restaurants! Have been here multiple times with family, friends and date night and enjoyed each time. I do find it funny that those with low ratings tend to be getting lasagna and chicken parm… both things I would think you can just make at home. I’m a fruti di mare kind of girl and they never disappoint!“
“I'm a regular customer with my partner at the Peabody location. Can't say enough good things . Occasionally I stop at the amesbury location..I have a big complaint as a regular customer..The t.v. reception at the bar is terrible..This is a sports bar..Come on !!“
“As good as the top couple of Chinese food restaurants in the area. Very good service and great mai taies. We were early so the restaurant was kind of empty but the bar there was totally fullParking: If it looks full there's more parking around the back of the building“
“This is one of the better "clam shacks" in Massachusetts and in all likelihood the most well-known at least here on the coast. This place is somewhat of a legend which translates to "very popular". In the summer, good luck getting in without waiting quite a long time in line...which I no longer am willing to do. The beauty of coming here "off season" and on a Sunday when the clocks were just turned back the night before is that you are hungry for lunch "earlier", and there are no crowds to speak of. So last Sunday when the clocks said it was 11:30am, it was in reality still 12:30pm in our minds (lunchtime!) as we had not yet had time to adjust to the time change.We've been here many times over the years but not in a very long time so it was nice to be back. Everything looked the same as it always has.We were soon to discover that the overall quality of the food is still quite good. Seafood is pricey these days, so clam shack or not, you're going to have to face the sticker shock. However, Woodman's is not nearly as expensive as another clam-shack/restaurant closer to home and the quality is better. It might be that the sheer volume of business that they do here may keep the prices ever so slightly better than some other places.My favorite thing to order (and what they are known for in particular) are the fried clam bellies. They also sell fried clam strip platters but for me, it is the clam bellies for sure. The bellies are meatier and really have the flavor of the ocean noticeable in each bite.The place is very large with lots of seating both indoors and out. You order at a counter and wait at your table for your number to be called. There is another counter where you can order beer and wine which is served to you right away and you bring to your table.Tom and I both got the clam belly platters, his with onion rings, mine with fries. The portion size was perfect for me but smaller than I remember....but trust me, it is still plenty of food. This is a no frills place that visually kind of reminds me of a camp dining hall.Other menu items include lobsters, lobster rolls, fish sandwiches, crab rolls, steamed clams with drawn butter (another fave of mine), etc. There are a few non-seafood items on the menu as well but that isn't what I'd come here for.There is ample free parking and everything is on one level and easily navigable. There are a few tables that are inexplicably very tight fits but just across the room are larger tables that are easier to maneuver in and out of.This is delicious New England seafood in an unpretentious, unfussy, relaxed setting. One of the reasons I love living in New England is classic seafood in a place just like this.“
“The service was impeccable, the environment was warm and welcoming and the food was spectacular.Kid-friendliness: The children in our party were comfortable and had a great time.Wheelchair accessibility: The building is accessible from the back of the building where the parking lot is. Not from the door facing the street.“
“Purchased crab cakes and sweet potato cakes from Natick Farmers market, loved both. Sweet potato cakes made a great side and were stuffed with other veggies for a varied bite. Crab cakes had a great mixture of crab and spices, very similar to what you'd get in a restaurant on the Chesapeake. Both fully cooked already so all you need to worry about is reheating enough--so easy and only took a few mins. Clear instructions on both packages.“
“I really like the Pomodori take-out food. Problem is the post-covid social pressure to give tips. Since when does take-out deserve a 15-20+% tip? I don't mind giving a tip for a job well done, but they ask for the tip before they do their job. Plus, the system is setup such that it is difficult not to give a tip. I'd go more often if they didn't intentionally try to guilt me into tipping every time I went.“
“We were in the area this week to visit family and ate at the Village Pancake House for three meals. Each one was perfect, the servers are friendly and efficient, and we left very happy!I got the same breakfast each day: scrambled eggs, bacon and blueberry pancakes. Each time I did not want the meal to end. The pancakes really are the best I have had in decades!“
