- RRobertavipNew York City •14 reviews4.0Dined 3 days agoNew Beige is offering a dinner for two special and my friend and I decided to meet and eat! Excellent value with wonderful options to choose from. Love New Beige for cocktails and food, coffee too. My ONLY complaint (& I do mean the only criticism I have) is I wish the lighting was more kind or dimmed. Every time I have been there it is just so bright. Would make for a better vibe if the lights were dimmed and the music was more chill or lounge-y. I will always return. Even though.More infoNew BeigePrice: Moderate• American• New Bedford•4.5
- ZZoeGreater Boston •1 review5.0Dined 7 days agoThe downstairs experience is like a total Boston speakeasy vibe!! The lighting, booths, and just all around vibe was the perfect mix. The food was above expectations and the martini was *chefs kiss! Perfect for girls night, date night, or just a nice meal.More infoCork Wine and Tapas BarPrice: Expensive• Contemporary American• New Bedford•4.7
- PPatriciaGreater Boston •2 reviews5.0Dined 7 days agoIt's been awhile since I've dined here at Merrill's I was pleasantly surprised to see that it seemed more upscale than usual. We received a wonderful Bread Basket with corn bread and sliced crusty bread.. My dinner was nicely presented in a metal paella pan instead of the usual large ceramic bowl. And the side of truffle chips was tasty. Our server Jordan was very attentive. Looking forward to our next visit.More infoMerrill's on the WaterfrontPrice: Moderate• Seafood• New Bedford•4.1
