Hawthorne by the Sea is one of the most delightful restaurants on the North Shore! It is very formal! Maitre D’s in black tie, waterfront dining, free freshly made warm popovers and delicious pickled mushrooms! My brother and I had spectacular steamers and steamed lobster 🦞! The service is impeccable! This is a restaurant that is a part of a storied group serving amazing meals for almost a century! Parking is easy! Nice big lot! Loved our meal! Cannot wait to go back!
We ate there on Sunday night, May 5, 2024 As usual we were warmly greeted by George the most gracious host, who patiently escorted us to our lovely table next to the window overlooking the ocean. We started with our drinks which consisted of hot tea, a Bombay martini and wine. Next came the fabulous fresh hot popovers served with oversized pads of real butter.

I used to go to Anthony's Pier 4 in Boston, when Anthony Athanas was there, the food, service, and ambience was truly world class. I feel that Hathorne -by-the -Sea is at the same level. The service was top notch, very attentive. They had all of my favorites, glover salad, popovers, filet, baked Alaskan, etc, and the view is stunning. Plus, plenty of parking.
