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.“

“We stumbled on the amazing restaurant and stopped in twice while on vacation in South Boston! The food was unbelievable and the service was fantastic! 👏🏼 This is going to be our go to spot every time we make our annual trip to Boston. Love the local vibe and the chef and owner, Asia, was hand on and personally brought out the food she so skillfully prepared!! HIGHLY recommend Moonshine 152! 💕@chefasiamei“

“Love Settler! My partner and I go for special occasions and have always had an incredible experience ❤️❤️“

“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!“

“My wife and I, went here for our anniversary dinner. Upon walking in the bar area was pretty loud, but once they bring you back into the dining area the noise is quite muffled so you are more than able to have a conversation.
Our waitress was wonderful. Really personable and friendly, but also incredibly attentive. Provided wonderful wine recommendations for my wife that paired well with the multi course meal.
For dinner we got the 7 course tasting menu and this has to be one of the top 3 meals we have ever had. Each course was delicious and for $155 per person it feels like a steal.
It is a when, not an if we will back.“

“This restaurant has a cool sports bar vibe while also having an upscale dining atmosphere. We ordered mango chicken, mahi, and crab cake. They all taste fresh, tender, and juicy! The portions were big and the service was great. The only personal flavor preference is I wish the dishes could have less salt. Overall, a relaxing experience!“

“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! 🤍“

“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!“

“'Yes please', is all I have to say when someone asks me if I'd like to go to The Yard House! What a cool environment at the Lynnfield Market Place! Go there and you'll be treated to incredible food and a massive drink selection. I make this my place to eat when I'm here!“

“After 3 days of lackluster customer service at car rentals, hotels and restaurants (the kind where you have to track down silverware and plates to consume the food that has been placed in front of you) our experience here deserved a fabulous review. From the time we were greeted, to being seated and on our way out the door late on a Monday night, the experience was marvelous! Our server, Nate made great recommendations and was enthusiastic about our order, unobtrusively kept the water glasses filled and had the delicate balance of checking on us mastered.The unexpected star of our meal was the roasted beet and faro salad, although the pretzel and poutine were not far behind. The food was so good we even forgot about the beautiful cocktails we were having. Although we arrived an hour before closing, we were never rushed. Two weary travelers were cared for, served fabulous cocktails and delicious food in a timely manner so that we could return to our room to get ready for a morning flight. Highly recommend this establishment.“

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

“It's small, with maybe 8 two tops and a counter. Not a lot of ambience, but nice dishware and clean wooden lines.
Service was attentive. There were only two or three parties there.
Food was interesting. I really enjoyed the scallops and the skate. I did not enjoy the dessert - a cornbread buckthorn berry thing.
Don't feel the need to go back, but I did enjoy my meal.“

“An otherwise unassuming hotel lobby bar, Kestra offers live jazz several nights a week. We live in the neighborhood and were passing through the lobby as a shortcut on a rainy night, and noticed the music emanating from the lounge so made a plan to return to try their menu and musical offering. Kestra's menu is limited but not unusually so for a lobby bar. We had their charcuterie board, the delicious chili cheese biscuits, and a prosciutto flatbread, all of which were satisfying. Where Kestra exceeded expectations that evening was in the music. A trio of local musicians included bassist Jon Burr, guitarist Sal DiFusco, and violinist Mark Russell. All were exemplary, in particular Russell, whose career has been inspired by Stephane Grappelli, one of my long-time favorites. What a treat, to happen upon such high-caliber talents in a hotel lobby bar (and with no cover charge)! Besides wishing for a few more choices on the menu, we'd have loved to get a table closer to the musicians. For whatever reason, tables for diners are amassed around a fireplace and far removed from the entertainment, as if to relegate the music to the background. All that said, we'll be keeping Kestra on our radar as an easy-going option for casual bar snacks and top-flight local jazz.“

“great spot to grab a beer waiting for train or bus. small plates available for food“

“Fun atmosphere. Good service and food“

“WOW! I can’t thank David enough. When another location forgot to assemble our catering order for a large party, David immediately swept in and remedied the situation by preparing our order and getting it to us as quickly as possible! Huge shout out to the team at the Seaport location for helping us so quickly!“

“This is one of my very favorite places to eat. Not only is the food amazing (I love the crab cakes and tune tartare) but the views cannot be beat! The service is always amazing as well. This is a go to spot whenever I have people visiting from out of town. Plus the water taxi to the other restaurants is such a bonus!“

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

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

“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!“

“Good food. Pleasant atmosphere“

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

“We love the staff at 9 Elm but we have to say we love the food more and we love the welcome we always get …thank you all“

“After my son's soccer game we decided we wanted to go some where new for lunch. We were so glad we did! The food was delicious and the service was great! It's a "tiny hole in the wall" kind of place, but the decor matches the vibe and it's definitely a hidden gem.“

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

“Amazing Food & Atmosphere Perfect fried pickles. Steak Frites was delicious as well.“

“Went here on what’s likely the busiest weekend of the year for Salem. Halloween. We sat outside to avoid the wait and even though it was close to 45-55 degrees out and I accentuate that it was BUSY, the food was still perfect, and the food came out without being over due. Like Gordon Ramsay level perfection. We were all so impressed that we were just talking about it now, months later. I apologize for not leaving a review sooner!“

“Crazy fast service! Delicious modern Mexican bowl with steak!

Came back and tried the classic Mexican chicken burrito. I love that they offer broccoli and fajita veggies. And the Gussa sweet and spicy sauce has an impressive kick. Love it!“

“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.“
