   Great food, and our server Jim was very good and attentive to our needs. However, the highlight of our evening was meeting Faye, the hostess. She was excellent in getting us settled in and delightful in making us feel welcome and appreciated as return diners at the 1606. We wish her every success in her career in the Hospitality Industry.

   Started off with an ocean side table, and everything even got better after that! Explained to the server, who was excellent, that we would order appetizers, and then order our main course when they arrived. This was based on last year's (same day - 12/24/23) experience; she had no issue with it and did not rush us at all. Mussels were even better than last year; the added squash was enjoyed by everyone. All of the food was prepared as ordered, and was excellent, and the desserts exceeded our expectations. Great place for any occasion, especially those family special occasions. Strongly recommend - we will be back!!

   My fiancé & I had lunch here on Saturday & it was a delightful experience. I ordered the beet salad & the Autumn Harvest pizza, & he order the Caesar salad & the Gloucester Rachel sandwich. Everything was fresh & perfectly cooked. Our waitress was friendly & attentive & restaurant has a stunning ocean view which adds to the ambiance. We really enjoyed our lunch date & plan on going back.

   I’ve tried this restaurant twice. The atmosphere is beautiful, the service is okay but the food is subpar. Never again.

   We had a wonderful evening! Ambiance was so festive and decorated beautifully for Christmas. We sat at the bar and David was out bartender/ server. He was attentive, knowledgeable, so friendly and engaging. The food was great. We shared a crab cake, my husband had Branzino and I the scallops. So well prepared. I would definitely recommend!

    A dinning room with lovely views of the water, a staff that pleasantly attends to every detail to ensure a well served meal and a kitchen that provides delicious food are what the 1606 Restaurant offers. We can’t wait to return.
