Marblehead Chowder House

Excellent as always. They made the Baked Shrimp Carbonara off-menu for me, and the French Onion Soup is spectacular.

It was my birthday dinner. My husband got the Norfolk Crab dish and wasn't happy with it. It was too much shells and greasy. I got the Salmon Oscar which was delicious. We sat in the booth in the bar area which was more like a big bench with other tables around us. We sat so close to other people and heard their conversation the whole time while we were eating. Our waitress did started out great but was horrible after awhile. After we finished our meal she doesn't ask do we want coffee or dessert, she just hands our check. We told her we aren't done. My husband wants another beer and I would like an Irish Coffee and dessert. She gets us our drinks then hands us the check. We then said what about our dessert, we feel like we are being rushed. We weren't happy with the place. We didn't mind the cost of our meal but we felt like if you pay those prices the ambiance should be there like Youwell's. Which is where we should've gone for my birthday but I just wanted to try somewhere new. Highly doubt we will ever come back to Marblehead. Terrible experience

Food was outstanding, Bob our server was great and everything came out at the right temperature. Very professional

Incredible food. Great service. Friendly staff. For the quality of food I think the prices are reasonable.

My dinner was very good until the last bite. I got a small piece of clam shell and bit down on it. I told my waitress and she said "Those things happen." That kind of ruined the evening for me as we were celebrating our anniversary.

Excellent service and food. I had the scallop special. Broiled with rice in a sauce. Delicious. Firecracker shrimp was great appetizer. Service was VIP level as usual.

Although there are a plethora of fine dining establishments in the Lehigh Valley, Marblehead remains a perennial favorite: consistently excellent cuisine and service. Halle was most engaging and attentive.

Food was fresh and delicious. Our waiter was very attentive, friendly and professional.

The lobster tails were cooked well. They were not small and overcooked because of that. I have unfortunately experienced the overcooked smaller tails. Good job. Maybe you should consider the slightly larger tails all the time. Easier to regulate the cooking. Its like having a very thin steak and asking it to be cooked med rare. Virtually impossible to not overcook. Same problem with smaller tails. Again, good job!

Very classy place. I enjoy the seared shrimp and scallop on a bed of lobster risotto. The best seafood in the valley. Hands down.

The food here has gone very downhill over the past couple years. There are so many excellent restaurants in the area, you can’t serve mediocre food at best and remain competitive. We had our LAST meal here two weeks ago. Finite!
