BRINE, known for fresh oysters, crudo, and prime cut chops, is Caswell Restaurant Group’s second foray into the eclectic and innately New England dining scene of Newburyport, MA.

The main attractions at BRINE are backed up by soups, salads, Po-Boys, and “off the page” daily specials to provide plenty of variety.This neighborhood hangout welcomes all and leaves pretension at the door. The low-key design and elevated standards of service allow the food to speak for itself, and Manager Gissele Tache and her staff are always on hand to recommend an adventurous catch, a fine bottle of wine, or a sweet after-dinner treat.

    Very good to excellent tonight! The food was great! Service very good but since it was Valentines weekend, they were very rushed on getting us to our 1.5 hour limit to have the table. We all realize restaurants need to make $$ and turn the tables, but perhaps would like to feel less rushed in the future. I have worked I. The industry for 20 years and understand but just a small notation on the experience tonight.

    It was a nice evening. We went for Valentines dinner. Down Side it was a Prix Fixe. The selections were ok, but nothing that stood out. The beef Wellington was cooked to perfection. The fish was as bland as could be even with the stuff they put on top of it. It came with three sides, one was simply a baked potatoes cut in slices? The worst part for us was the gosh awful music? Super bad choice for a romantic dinner. Waitress was great! Will try it one more time. But there are a lot of great places to eat around this area.

    We went for the invited event on 02/01/2025 and it was a GREAT experience from start to finish. The hostess's are always very friendly and it is a big PLUS to see MELISSA each time that we have visited which is at lease once a month. The waitstaff is always amazing, friendly and attentive. The food was delicious. The portion sizes were just right for my husband and I to share and we really enjoyed all the items. The sauces that came with them were so good. We took what we didn't finish to go and enjoyed it at home as well. Now, let's talk about the Fortune Cookie. OMG it had me on their website, Fantastic Fortunes checking out the prices because they were that good. They were so fresh and delicious. Thanks again for a GREAT experience from start to finish.
