“Loved this experience! The ambiance upstairs was perfect and the cocktails were unique and delicious. The food was fantastic and I highly recommend the scallops. A dessert drink finished my night and I would highly recommend this for a date night dinner!“
“Not terrible. I had the surf and turf with filet and lobster tail. It was not terrible lobster, but it was a little tough which was surprising given the location and the about $80 that the plate costed. The steak was a little better but could have used more flavor. Over-all not bad, but the plate should have been more at a $45 price point relative to its quality. I would say keep the higher price and improve the plate.“
“The Puddle Dock was pretty much exactly as I expected, considering how much I had looked into it ahead of time. The entire reason for going was for the rarebit my boss had informed me of during a discussion about foods I had grown up with.The food was all incredible and was interesting to see the inside of the building since I had grown up going to Strawberry Bank as a child and getting pickles from a pickle barrel when it was a store. The post and beam structure still looks incredible and the layout of the bar is extremely well done. The atmosphere that is given was extremely laid back. The one thing that took away, for me, was a few of the wait staff that had come by have an arrogance when speaking to you that is a bit off putting. It is clear that it is not all of them but enough to discourage.I had an old fashioned, the rarebit which came with bits of duck, brussel sprouts and a fried egg on top as an appetizer and the Shepard's pie as a meal. The Shepard's pie came out with a crust making it look more like pot pie but added a wonderful texture to it. The flavor was incredible though be warned of how hot that dish is and how long it will need to cool. Definitely worth the visit and experience.“
“Ate lunch with friends on drive home from Logan on our way back home from London. Our first meal back from London is a tough one. The food was fantastic. Had a nice window table with a view of the sparkly water. There was a vent blowing cold air underneath our table, but fortunately the server provided a small mat to cover it up. The cocktails were en pointe and well balanced - not too sweet which we appreciated. Even though we are all seafood lovers, two of the stars of the meal were the buffalo cauliflower ( great sauces and nicely fried- not greasy or soggy) and believe it or not, my daughter’s grilled chicken caesar was also really nicely done on all fronts. We all loved the haddock reuben ( again many nice touches- great cook on the fish, delicious sauces). I already mentioned the drinks. Cocktails were awesome ( we tried 3 different ones from the menu). My chief and probably only complaint would have to be the wine pours. I am spending top dollar on quality food at a respected restaurant- please give me a glass of wine. We spent over 300$ at your establishment, don’t serve me a splash of wine. Rather insulting. Everything else was wonderful. Kitchen staff are doing it right and our server Sierra was great. Bar program - don’t serve skimpy wine pours.“
“From the minute you walk into The Franklin you feel the warmth of the space. The servers are knowledgeable and friendly. We ate everything and it was flippin amazing - I took my sister and her husband here and his eyes lit up when he caught site of the selection of oysters! He still talks about The Franklin and makes me take him there every time they are in town.“
“I've eaten here, twice, and tasted 6 different items off the menu. Its simply fantastic! The pan seared cod is the best I've ever had. A delicate crispy edge made every bite a treat. The mussels were great, the Greek fisherman's stew, the ravioli,, the wood fired chicken, all fantastic. The beef carpaccio was an interesting treat, uncommon on a menu. Raw prime beef tenderloin, that I rather enjoyed. Our server, Natasha, was excellent!If you are a home chef, that routinely makes restaurant quality food(or better)? This is where you want to go. The skill in the kitchen is on a whole 'nother level.Price reflects the quality of your food. $$ very well spent. Its definitely the kind of place where you want to have an appetizer. Everything is so good, you'll want one, and portion size allows the extra goodness.I read that the chef won best in NH. For my experience, its painstakingly obvious why. Some of the best food I've had, paired with excellent service. I'm going to try everything on the menu. I'm certain the level of care in preparation is reflected throughout the entire menu. If finely prepared food is your thing? You need to try Tino's. They may easily become my all time favorite. Its that good.“
“Came here for the first time for an early dinner this Sunday with my family. I wish I had found this place sooner, I will absolutely be back! Sarah, our server, is a pro. Food and drinks were amazing and everything came out promptly. If I could give more stars I would!“
“My husband and I sat at the bar- enjoyed impeccable service as we watched oysters being shucked in front of us. I had Welfleet oysters fresh and delish, and we both enjoyed bowls of perfect NE clam chowder! All of this paired with a Maine Lunch it was the perfect supper in a fun and chic atmosphere!“
“Great restaurant! First thing I noticed is the happiness of the employees o thing but smiles. Everyone working helped each other and they seemed to be a team who enjoys working with each other because of that our service was impeccable. From drinks to the food everything was delicious. We started with fried calamari cooked perfectly, we had warm rolls served with soft butter ,roasted garlic and olives. We ordered the salmon and monk fish both cooked with so much flavor and the presentation was beautiful. Then for dessert we ordered the banana cake new on the menu I’m not a sweet eater but this was perfect not too sweet…..definitely everyone should visit this restaurant.“
“Went to Sunday Brunch. HUGE selection, GREAT FOOD OPTIONS, All the usually Brunch options PLUS a bunch of unique and special additions!!(fish, lamb, chowder, and desserts for days) Support staff was great, too! Cant wait to come back again and frustrated that I havent been to this brunch before today. Time for a nap.“
“We always get the warm feta dip. The haddock sandwich is awesome large portions perfectly crisp. It’s also connected to a nice bakery. Busy Sunday today so a bit slower than normal service but still everyone’s friendly and will come back.“
“It wasn't to my likeness.No problems. But.Actually, actually with a little bit more than I should have got.They were right there for me. Mine was baked lobster pie. They did replace the way I wanted it and it was a lot more what I expected it to be. Ty“
“If you are looking for frills with your meal, this isn't the place for you. This is more of a hole in wall spot where the locals tend to hang out and they only accept cash. With that said we walked in and were told to seat where we wanted. We grabbed a booth and we were asked if we wanted coffee. Sure we yelled back and the waitress showed up at our table with a coffee pot, the mugs were already on the table. So was the plastic ware (remember I said NO frills) and napkins, as well as the sugar and butter, she brought some creamer with her. During the week they have lunch specials, however they have reasonable prices and large portions. We each got the number 4, which came with 2 eggs any style, a meat choice, and toast. We also each ordered a muffin. If you made it this far, don't be surprised when your food comes out on styrofoam plates (I said NO FRILLS!), but the food was good, I liked the plum muffin that was heated up and I had lots of laughs just listening to Uda, as she is a straight shooter. I will say that the lady who recommended it called herself a foodie and this is NOT where a foodie would normally send someone as this is stuff that is simple but good with NO FRILLS but will get you full and not break your pockets. With that, if I'm ever back in the area, I'll be back!“
“I enjoy this place a lot. Old school. Wish they would open the dining soon. They had a hard winter with the flooding this January. This venue is right on the water. Real cool watching the boats come by. Best salad bar in the area. Pumpkin bread rocks!“
“It is truly some of the best seafood in the area. Consistent quality, fair pricing, & always prepared great. Staff has always been great. My wife and I enjoy the atmosphere.Parking: Parking can be a little tight at peak times, but when it's really busy, there is usually someone to help direct and keep things moving. Off peak parking is no problem, plenty of room.“
“The food was solidly good, however nothing compelling enough to crave. The staff was very attentive and nice. Unfortunately, it was really loud. I would not go if you want a romantic or high-end feel. There are many better restaurants around the seacoast, but it wasn't bad by any stretch.“
“What a great find! Wonderful selection of classic breakfast choices and darn tasty to boot. Homemade biscuits covered in cream beef, homemade corn beef hash and the waffles! Oh my. I wish the place was closer to my house.I strongly recommend Hebert'“
“We went to Bob's the other day for lunch and was surprised when we went to pay for the our clams and scallops basket 69.75. It was good but it's not worth going for lunch at that price. Last year for the same basket we paid 50.00. a lot of French fries in both baskets and scallops and calms scattered on top. For some reason I cannot add photos.“
“We are locals and look forward to Rays opening up in the spring. We went for a late lunch a week after their seasonal opening on an unexpectedly nice day. We were fortunate to not have to deal with a busy place at the time that we went and we got a booth overlooking the ocean. It's a gorgeous view where we watched early spring surfers and the waves roll in. Rays is very clean and has a pretty extensive menu with both delicious fried seafood and yummy baked dishes. We split an order of steamers which were some of the better ones we've had in the area. My husband had a medium order of haddock bites and he really enjoyed them while I had one of my favs, a tuna melt which was not greasy and was very tasty, with fries that were cooked just right. Our waitperson was friendly and appropriately attentive. Rays is not fancy, with paper plates and menus for placemats but if you're hankering for fresh seafood (they catch their own) you should definitely try Rays.“
“Really had a great time here. Food was very well prepared. Staff was friendly and knowledgeable making the interaction very rewarding. The ocean views were 3 simply spectacular. The desert on the next table looked delicious. Prices were very reasonable $135.00 for 3 people. 2 mixed drinks. 2 appetizers. And 3 entrees.“
“Had an awesome experience at the oar house this weekend. Got to sit at the bar and taste some new creations from the bartender. Was really cool watching the experimentation and getting a first glance at the upcoming drinks. Snagged a couple of photos ??“
“First of all, what a cool spot! Santiago's is one the most cozy bars I've been to. I ordered a few of the tacos in different varieties and they were awesome. You can taste the freshness. Amazing flavor, cooked perfectly...had to save the spicy shrimp taco for my wife. She loved it. The Margarita was smooth and unique. They don't use sour mix and you can feel the difference. Just go there and you will be delighted too.“
“We moved to NC several years ago and have never found pizza to compare with the Bratskellar. Perfect crust, high grade cheeses, many optional toppings including Greek sausage. Very active pizza kitchen and ovens surrounded by the bar. Many other items on the menu as well and they are all well prepared and portioned. We've bee customers for 25 years.“
“I went to this location multiple times during the seafood festival. Fantastic location and great food. It was extremely busy and the staff did a good job getting food/drinks out in a reasonable time frame. I'd recommend this location to anyone in the area. Only issue is the outdoor lighting is pretty poor for evening dining. Would be nice if there were a few more lights in some locations.“
“This is the first restaurant I've visited while being back in the US, and I wasn't disappointed.The fish in the sandwich was twice as big as the bun!Great people, great location, and great food.I think the only thing I would change would be to add some made in hause sauces for the food.Overall great experience.Parking: There is plenty of parking on site.“
“The waitress flips with cotscoVegetarian options: They have a symbol with vegetarian symbolDietary restrictions: Just have everythingParking: Just good parkingKid-friendliness: Were kids we are allowed to eat here with no adultsWheelchair accessibility: They allow handicap parking“
“We eat here frequently because of the team, food quality and price. Besides the amazing roast beef you must try: crab salad wrap or get the crab salad roll that comes with fries - the crab salad is great, BLT wrap, coleslaw, any of the seafood but the plate portions are huge and feeds 2, chicken wings, salad, onion rings!You can't go wrong here, we have never had a meal that wasn't great.“
