New American Restaurants near Swampscott, MA

“What a great night! We thought we were going to a fundraiser, but after checking the ticket it’s next month🤦🏼‍♀️ So since we were ready for a night out we ventured to Swampscott to check out G Bar! Reservations highly encouraged, but our timing worked out perfectly and we got two seats at the bar! Had a delicious meal starting with crispy shrimp with sriracha, lemon garlic aioli, cilantro then we shared a Caesar salad, lightly dressed and not too garlicky and had Wasabi tuna and NY Strip steak for our entrees! Yummo!! Patrons were so nice, as was all the staff! Andrew was a great bartender and seemed to know everyone there! Great vibe, great food! We’ll definitely be back! — eating dinner with my love with Joe Florentino at G Bar and Kitchen.“

“I had lunch with friends here yesterday and everything was great but I have to mention that our server, Russell, was hands done, one of the best servers I have ever had. He gave us plenty of time to catch up with each other with cocktails (about an hour!), He paid for a round of drinks because we wanted to order from the brunch menu but missed it because we talked for so long. He said it was his fault for not reminding us! Unheard of! He let us have a leisurely 3 hour lunch, with no pressure at all, and was very attentive when we needed him. He even sent over a delicious birthday dessert without even being asked! Russell is The Best!!“

“Lovely spot with spectacular views of the water. Beautifully designed interior. Delicious, creative food. Great service.“

“Asia Mei is easily one of the best Chefs in Boston. I've eaten here several times, but I can't believe that I haven't written a review before now! My husband and I had brunch at moonshine 152 last weekend and told friends about it. Next thing you know, the four of us were in there around noon time today having brunch again. We shared three starters, alongside sharing all four entrées and everything, I mean everything was to die for! Ms Asia herself delivered some of our plates and she is just as delightful as she is talented. Needless to say, dinner is amazing here as well. The vibe in the restaurant is so easy and you can tell that the staff get along very well together. What I can't believe is how this place wasn't fully packed today or last weekend even. Definitely a good amount of patrons, but I've had brunch at places that are hard to get into and left much less satisfied.“

“My husband and I sat outside and had a lovely snack in the sun, away from most of the hustle & bustle that October brings to Salem. We thoroughly enjoyed the butternut squash hummus, falafel, and cauliflower & quinoa tabouleh but the real highlight for us was the apple cider! Holy. It was the best we had on our trip around New England. Not too sweet, served nice & hot, lightly spiced and so, so good! The service was wonderful as well! Best of luck to this crew, we wish you much success & hope to see you next fall!🍂☺️“

“Superb all around experience 👍👍. Chef Daniel is 🔝. Great wine and Bar programs 🍷🍾🍹“

“What an enjoyable late lunch! it was cold and snowy but the warmth and comfort offered by Troquet made for a simply great afternoon. Really: fabulous French onion soup with delicious cheese on a winter day - it doesn't get better. Unusual and delicious Caesar salad on a half of Romaine - it exudes healthy. And a fried chicken chicken sandwich (w/frites) rounds everything out nicely. Highly recommend for a mid-day winter break.“

“This place is one of the best places I’ve been to in a hot minute! The bottomless brunch and $4 mimosas had my best friend and I making immediate reservations! The staff and management are so sweet and truly care about the service they provide. This really is the place to go and if you haven’t yet you better get on it babe! Will be here once a month at least! Seriously obsessed! 🤍“

“We always have the best experience here! My boyfriend and I had our 1st date here, 1 year ago today and wanted to recreate it. We let the restraunt know via an OpenTable reservation note for the sole purpose of getting the same booth, and they over exceeded our expectations! The Moxie team set aside our exact table for us with a very personal hand written note congratulating us for the occasion. Additionally, they had an eager server just as excited as us with a complimentary bottle of champagne. Since our first date we have chosen to celebrate Valentine's Day & other special occasions here, as we have always had such an amazing experience and great food (best Cesar salad we've ever had!). They ended the night with a special desert which left my boyfriend and I both blown away with the effort and dedication they put into making our occasion special. We recommend to anyone for great food and great service! Thank you again the moxie team for making this so special, we are excited to return for our next occasion!“

“Awesome Patriotic atmosphere!! Highly recommended…“

“Fabulous evening. I made my reservation a month ago and was surprised when we were seated in a faraway corner on the lower level. We asked to move upstairs and the host gladly accommodated us. Our server was attentive and friendly and made great recommendations. Calamari was a little salty, but everything else was perfect! This is always my favorite pre-ballet spot. A nice espresso martini is just right to stay awake for the rest of the evening!“

“Me gusto mucho compartir con todos ustedes ,muchas gracias fue una noche espectacular...“

“Outstanding service! Fast delivery to table of excellent quality food. A little pricey but what airport restaurant isn’t pricey. Would recommend to anyone. 5+ stars!“

“I miss when they had more seasonal selections. In the previous years I had beers that I didn't even know existed. They should definitely bring that back. Other than that, the place is clean. Had the whiskey pepper boneless wings and they were pretty good. I do like that they have notch Salem lager on tap. You don't find that everywhere“

“We booked the private dining area and had a great experience. Service was great and we were not rushed at all. Food and drinks were good and the overall booking process with Zoey was easy and transparent.“

“Piatti buoni e curati , cucina meditteranea ben interpretata“

“My Fiancé and I enjoyed a few drinks by the bar during our stay at the Omni. Our bartender Ruben and Javier were the most kind, friendly and accommodating staff! We truly enjoyed their company that night! They even gave us recommendations about the breakfast the next day! The atmosphere was peaceful, Kestra added a true romantic ambiance to our weekend. We will be back to enjoy your space again! The drinks were so good, we can’t wait to try the food next time.“

“the pineapple jalapeno chicken. it's delicious..“

“Food, drinks and service were all excellent. We will definitely be back again!“

“Really solid tasting menu! I was full by course three, which isn’t a bad thing, but the portions could be balanced a bit better. I enjoyed the meal overall, some courses were great, though a few didn’t quite wow me as much as I expected. Still, interesting flavors and a good experience.“

“Not sure what the experience the other reviewers here had but we had an unbelievably amazing experience! The views were out of this world- nowhere else in Beverly can say the same. Our server Carolyn was absolutely amazing- she was so diligent with the allergies at our table and took the time to recommend things that would fit all of our needs. We will definitely be back and would always request her. Food was amazing, huge portions, flavorful, and came out so quickly! A must in the area! The only down-side was parking, but we figured it out!“

“Found this place on a random search and it was above and beyond our expectations. Our server, Makaylee, made amazing recommendations and was extremely attentive. The hot chicken benny with truffle oil was amazing! The relaxing atmosphere was exactly what you’d want for a Sunday brunch. We will definitely be back!“

“I love The Berry Tavern. It's has a great vibe. Lots of good menu options. The food and cocktails are delicious. The owners and staff are great as well; my favorite night is Thursday because of the music. 👍🏼“

“Fabulous atmosphere, great food and friendly colleagues.“

“Great food, great service, and great drinks! Best brunch I’ve ever had and it is located in a great location!“

“I got the sweet chili plate didn’t think the food would be that good from the photos on the app, let alone nice sauces would be served with it, decided to try for the low price of it when signing up, and I was pleasantly suprised. The food was filling, healthy, and had spices and herbs making it really tasty. Tofu was cooked well too“

“Awesome app's and excellent wine menu. All beef is grass fed. One of the best restaurants that I've been to.“

“Good food, nice friendly environment. Big bar!“

“Awesome experience for a little hole in the wall dive.“

“Excellent setting for business lunches - quiet, refined and consistently satisfying.“

“Good food. Pleasant atmosphere“

“Lovvvved it! Water views make all the difference! Food & drinks GREAT.. but our server Alexa… Was EVERYTHING!“

“Beautiful!! Amazing show !!!“

“This morning, I went to Society restaurant inside the Westin for breakfast. I had the best experience one could ever wish for. Mya was my server. Her kindness and attention was infectious and tear jerking after a not so great experience. \nAfter a long day of flying and not having time to get a meal, we checked in around midnight.\nOur pilot requested our complementary sandwich boxes for crew that arrived after 11 PM. The front desk agent Nunzio said there was no food, they forgot to make them. We asked if he could check to see if there was at least fruit. In the most dismissive manner he could muster, he said NO. The manager did come out and mention that he could at least offer complementary breakfast vouchers. Our captain asked if we could have lunch vouchers instead because we don’t get up that early when we arrive really late. The manager said breakfast is all that he has approvals for. Understood.Then he went back to his office. Nunzio was still with us at the front desk, unwilling to answer any more questions about other options. I went to my room, dropped off my luggage and decided to call and get more information about the breakfast option, how to get it covered, times etc. Nunzio then said “well you guys walked away” and he hung up the phone on me. \nI put my clothes back on and went downstairs and I let him know that I understood this must be frustrating for him and we all work with customers but there’s no reason to be unkind. I tried pulling a bit of reasoning out of him, no luck, he was staunch and upset that he had to deal with anything at all. He gave me the breakfast voucher, and I went back to my room. \n\nWell Mya and the staff in the Sauciety greeted me with beautiful smiles, kindness and were complete BRAND AMBASSADORS for their restaurant and the Westin! I explained that we were the late crew and our food was forgotten last night, she went into service mode! She got me juice, coffee, and a omelette. She was so happy to make sure was taken care of. Mya’s nurturing and caring spirit over shadowed the entire experience from the night before. I asked about the other staff members as they were all so kind and so present as I watched other people come in. Johnny was in charge of the beautiful buffet. Everything was clean and the buffet was well displayed. Keon was the assistant server and presented as if he were leading the shift too:) I enjoyed the entire staff. I was very grateful as we all do the same kind of work/service just like I do on the plane. Kindness always wins. Hope to see their lovely manager Sandra and everyone again soon. Mya and Sauciety gave me the best experience ever!“

“I went to Chelsea Station Restaurant with a couple of friends, and we had such a great experience! The food was incredible — everything was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. Even the friends visiting from out of town were blown away by how good everything was.

The service was amazing too. Our server was super friendly, attentive, and made the whole night feel relaxed and easy. The cocktails were fantastic, and my favorites from the menu were the short rib tacos, truffle fries, and the seafood pasta — absolutely delicious.

We shared a few starters, and for dessert, the bread pudding and chocolate lava cake were unforgettable. We even took some home!

Highly recommend Chelsea Station for a fun night out with friends or a small gathering. Great vibe, great food, great service. I’ll definitely be back next time I’m in the area!“

“Fun atmosphere. Good service and food“

“The food and drink were awesome, restaurant was clean and organized, service was fast and great, and Marcy is the best!“

“The best burrito in Boston. Boloco has been around for years and still has it down 👌 sadly less locations than there used to be. Affordable price for the downtown location especially compared to other burrito places downtown. The flavors and ingredients are great together. Fast and friendly service. Keep it up boloco!“

“After spending a full day in Salem we got to the Olde Main Street Pub around 7pm our family of 4 had a great time and an amazing meal! The food was Delicious, atmosphere was so fun and energetic, the staff was fantastic, and the Guinness was perfect! 5 out 5 ☘️!“

“We loved the uncommon beer selections and atmosphere! So much that we stopped in twice both night we were in town.“

“Good service. Cool atmosphere.“

“I'm here nearly every day before work and the food, drinks, and staff are all equally exceptional. The only coffee shop that's batting 1000 on a perfect drink every time.“

“Very cool idea. I love not having to chase after the ping pong balls. 🤪“

“The food was beyond delicious—authentic, flavorful, and clearly made with love. Every dish tasted fresh and well-seasoned, and the portions were generous. I highly recommend trying their pupusas, carne asada, and tamales—everything we ordered was a hit!

The customer service was just as impressive. The staff was incredibly welcoming, attentive, and friendly. They made sure we felt at home from the moment we walked in. You can tell they care about their customers and take pride in what they do.

If you’re looking for great Central American food in Lynn with top-notch hospitality, El Gran Jaguar is a must-visit. I’ll definitely be coming back!“

“Food was awesome and Zach was awesome with helping suggest us some appetizers and places to visit as out of towners!“

“I'm originally from just outside New Orleans, LA. Came here with a friend and was all too curious that they had Jambalaya on the menu. I cannot stress this enough. Order the Jambalaya. It reminded me of home.“

“I walk by this place every day and wonder why no one is in here, I assumed it was bad. We finally stopped by to try it and all I can say is I don't understand why it’s not packed like every other place on W Broadway. The food was so good and what made the experince incredible was the warmth and hospitality from who I can only assume was the owner. She was great, and it felt like I was a friend having a meal at her home. Great wine recommendations and helpful tips on food. We will definitely be coming back!“

“Healthy Vegetarian bowls in heart of windy Boston Downtown“

“My wife and I have not had much luck with dining out lately so when it came to picking a restaurant for our anniversary dinner I was nervous that I would find the right place. I came across Nine Elm and read the reviews. They were amazing. So we made a reservation but I was still cautiously optimistic. Things could not have gone better! We arrived and where we were seated was noising, not what we wanted for an anniversary dinner. When I asked the waitress if there was a quieter spot she went to speak to the manager in we were moved immediately. The general atmosphere of the restaurant is nice and the staff is very friendly but professional. The wine was lovely and the food delicious. We ordered the duck and the swordfish special and they were both cooked to perfection. For dessert we split a Creme Brule. The custard was light and creamy a pleasant surprise. We had an amazing time. We will be back!“

“In a town of witch kitsch, Trade House is a breath of fresh air. The decor doesn't scream as much maritime and mercantile history as I hoped but the atmosphere and the menu certainly make up for it. Highly recommend the Jumbo Crab Cake as a starter. This is a golden seared, griddled crab cake bursting with sweet, succulent crab meat and fresh vegetables. Served with a zesty New Orleans remoulade that packs a Southern kick and a petite salad for a crisp, refreshing balance. And their chef's *really shine with their specials. That's where I recommend the Surf and Turf Dog. And this isn’t your average frank. It’s a jumbo all beef masterpiece stacked with crispy, golden fried Essex clams, drizzled in house made tartar and a splash of tangy cocktail sauce, all nestled in a warm, buttery brioche bun. Served with kettle chips and crunchy pickles for the perfect crunch. It’s land and sea, comfort and adventure all in one unforgettable bite. There is literally nothing in Salem like this. And lastly, their drinks....oh my gods, their drinks. I had the "Trade Secret". Bold, smooth whiskey takes the lead in this mysterious and refined cocktail, delivering rich warmth with every sip. It’s expertly layered with the bittersweet depth of amaro, brightened by fresh orange, cherry, and a twist of lime. The result? A bold yet balanced drink with a touch of intrigue. It's strong, citrusy, and just sweet enough to keep you coming back for the next secret. Tourists and locals, check this new place out. Such a breath of fresh air and down the street from Derby Wharf.“
