Not overly crowded for a Saturday night but service was not good. We waited over 15 minutes just for someone to come take our drink order. My wife ordered a coke (flat and all syrup it went back) 2 waters and a beer. That took another 8 minutes to get. She then would take another 8 minutes to come back and take our order. We already knew what we wanted in the time it took for her to get our drink order. Food took a long time to come out. It was frustrating seeing other parties who got there after us get their food before us. Food was sub par at best. My wife’s order was wrong and they forgot fries on my fathers order. Waitress just seemed distracted. I’m from Gloucester back home visiting my family and I always try local places. This was a disappointment. I didn’t want to embarrass my parents so I paid and walked out. Maybe it’s good, maybe it was an off night or just maybe it’s just not that great. For the price I paid there I was highly disappointed.

It's has a nice atmosphere. However, we found the dinners good but not notable. There was a lack of attention to detail. Two of us had coffee after dinner and it was stone cold.

We had a post wedding party at 525 (the day after) as a last good bye to family and friends and it could not have been nicer! The staff was wonderful and the food was fabulous! The scallops wrapped in bacon were the best I've ever had! Perfect friendly atmosphere! I would highly recommend them!

Excellent service and the food is incredible delicious. The best sangria on the North Shore!! Loved the French onion soup which is new on the menu. Portion size is perfect for the price.

Stopped by after visiting Hammond Castle. We arrived at 530pm, place was busy but not packed yet. Luckily we ordered the appetizer nachos, because service was extremely slow. Our dinners, when they finally arrived, were tasty. The salmon tacos were covered in tomatoes. The tiny bit of asian slaw was hidden in the short ribs tacos, tasted okay but zero points for presentation! The burger was basic bar fare and fries were overdone. Looked promising but not a great dining experience for us.

Paid $50 for garbage that is not even possible to call food. I got a pizza that I did not order with 0 sausages and 100 pieces of jalapeños. Wishing the owner and the cooks to eat like that every night! Bon appetite!

Great fish and chips - outside seating and indoors too

Perfect service, able to continue the conversation and order food without staff lingering or interfering. At the same time gave good advice on food choices with delicious descriptions at our request. The atmosphere is high-end including the lighting and decor. They offer some high-top tables and booths with pillows! It also includes a bar 🍸. You can dress up and enjoy a glass of wine waiting for apps and casual dress is acceptable too. A must-see place to add to your list.
