- GGayleVIPGreater Boston •39 reviews5.0Dined 4 days agoBeauport is the perfect place for a holiday celebration! It’s so beautifully decorated and festive, there is such a positive vibe and everyone is in such a happy mood! Jingle Bar was in full motion, love the relocation to the back of the lobby, so intimate and magical! We had dinner in 1606, needed a little more quiet time together and it was perfect! Our server was excellent, dinners were delicious (hard to choose next up with the new menu, cocktails, and food - so many great options! We all agree that a part of lobster bisque is the best around, including Boston! The burgers and pizzas are always a great choice, and scallops were delicious too! The restaurant, bar, lobby, and Jingle Bar wereall crowded, it was wonderful to see so many people out celebrating the holidays! The staffing was proportionate, never oh wait and the visibility of management ensuring everyone was being taken care of and enjoying themselves and the food or something. You don’t see everywhere! Also, it was nice to receive a personal check in from Chef Jon, wanting to be sure everything was as we liked it…and we loved everything! Looking forward to our friend event on Friday night, 14 of us will celebrate and enjoy a delicious and special meal together in the private dining room!More info1606 Restaurant and Oyster BarPrice: Expensive• American• Gloucester•4.7
- CCarolynGreater Boston •4 reviews5.0Dined on Oct 6, 2024The restaurant and food is really good. 3 of us had great meals, 2 of us took home. Large portions. We felt bad for our server. Only 2 on, others called out. So they were running around inside and outside!! Crazy and crowded. But still delish.More infoThe Farm Bar and Grille - EssexPrice: Moderate• American• Essex•4.5
