Best Waterfront Restaurants in Manchester-by-the-Sea

We have dined here in the past and love coming back. This was a well-deserved meal after a week of stress (lay-off) and travel gone wrong. The inside is warm and inviting and staff is always friendly. I love the pineapple seafood entree and my husband raves about the ribeye. My son typically gets fish and ships but this time we splurged and got him the shrimp and lobster scampi, we knew it would be much bigger than he could muster, so we counted on the leftovers to justify the size and price. Will definitely return, hopefully to celebrate a new job!

The food was fabulous! Their famous Squid ink pasta and fruitti di mare were both outstanding. Wonderful Italian wines by the glass, too. We opted to sit at the bar in lieu of our reservation for a table and are happy we did. Service was great and the bartender recommended her favorites for both the food and beverages menus. We will definitely return when we go back to Boston!

 Our experience at Joe’s American bar and Grill was absolutely wonderful. They seated us right when we arrived and we had the best view out the window watching the water. Our food came quickly and it was delicious! Everyone of us ordered a different brunch item and each one was delicious and warm and ready to eat. The staff was attentive and sweet and grateful. I will definitely go there again.

Very good We all had a lovely time . Plenty of tea w honey. I even saved the small honey jars. They were so cute. I will recycle them and use them again. I couldn’t seem to think they would go in the trash. We all ordered from menu. You could get the buffet but choose to order. I had the veggie quiche. Delicious. Everyone one else was happy at our table. Nice relaxing atmosphere. ❤️❤️💜💜Happy New year All

Em was a fabulous server. Food was delicious. Wines were good, not fantastic, but they grew on you. Fisherman’s Platter, fish and chips and lobster roll and clam strips were enjoyed by all. Overall a lovely evening.
