    Food was great. Service was perfect. Lots of leftovers to take home. Everyone there were regulars. We are definitely going back. Haddock parm big salad etc and brownie sundae was huge and great. Yum. Like a big happy bar with lots of tables. Nice energy in the air.

    Foggy Bottom Chicken Breast baked with breadcrumbs served on sautéed spinach with a cream cheese sauce.

    Got the fried seafood platter and it was delicious. Came with Haddock, Clams, Shrimp and Scallops on top of fries and onions rings. The service was spot on and very attentive. It was a very hot day but the space had AC was adequately maintained temperature. No complaints whatsoever.

    Baked haddock with a side of rice

    My mom and I came for a late lunch (around 1:30pm), and although the place was packed, we only had a short wait for a table. I opted for the baked haddock and my mom ordered the dijon encrusted salmon. Both came with two sides and some warmed bread with whipped butter. We both enjoyed our meals and were pretty full when we left. The bar area was full and very loud, so keep that in mind if you're looking for someplace to have a nice quiet meal.

    Seafood Fra Diavolo
    Em B.

    Came here for a great dinner, I really enjoyed the food. This is more of a hometown, local place, than a tourist destination. We ordered Wellfleet oysters to start, and for our meals I ordered the Seafood Fra Diavolo, and my friend ordered the Shrimp Scampi. My plate was overflowing, as you can see in the pictures. It was so good! When we were first seated, we were offered drinks and delicious bread, but we had to ask for water about 30 minutes in which was weird. There were also flies flying around during our meal which is one thing, but they were constantly landing on the glasses and by our meals. The food was really great, especially for the price, but it would have been nice if the service was more attentive, especially since we were the only table and everyone else was at the bar. OYSTERS: 4.8/5 SHRIMP SCAMPI: 4.5/5 SEAFOOD FRA DIAVOLO: 5/5 The food is very good, but the service was a little slow even though it wasn't very busy. It wasn't horrible, but it would be helpful to offer water first. ambiance: 3.5/5 drinks: 4/5 food: 4.9/5 service: 3/5 Blue Marlin Grille: 3.5/5

    Buffalo shrimp

    Love this place! We started with the buffalo shrimp appetizer, and it was excellent as always--perfectly cooked with just the right amount of heat. I ordered the fish sandwich, which is always good, but received the tail end of the haddock. My husband, however, was a bit disappointed with his dish: the shrimp and scallops baked with breadcrumbs. Unfortunately, the breadcrumbs were overpowering--so heavily layered on top that it was hard to taste anything else. Still, overall a great experience, and we'll definitely be back!

    Great service and amazing food! We struck out a few times this weekend but the Blur Marlin Grille did not disappoint. The shrimp and snow peas were fantastic and the spicy chicken scampi was delicious.

    The Soggy Bottom Chicken was delicious!

    The service was excellent. The chicken was very good. The lobster roll came with a lot of lobster meat. (I thought it tasted decent, but not the best I've ever had.) Overall, it was a great experience.

    We decided to come here after the boat ride with Essex River Cruise. Service was great and we ordered: Apps: Potato Skins, nice and cheesy. And buffalo shrimp with blue cheese, which everyone enjoyed. Entree: I ordered the steak tips with mash and veggies and YUM! The marinate was spot on and I finished it all in one setting. Really really good! Dessert: ended with a brownie sundae and enough said

    Fried scallops, chicken picata, baked seafood and tips
    Christine M.

    Dinner with friends and it was ok. We went on a Sunday, dining room wasn't too busy but the bar was. The waitress we had was wonderful. Food was ok, my friend and her husband loved the chowder. My husband had steak tips and said they were ok. I had baked seafood casserole it was also ok nothing special. My friend liked her scallops but was full from the chowder she took most home, her husband had picata and said he has had better. Portion size is big and good value for money but I think there is better out there

    I stopped in solo on a Saturday evening, fresh off a family dinner while they enjoyed a show, with…read moreone singular mission: to try the Spicy Sicilian cocktail. As someone who considers a well-constructed savory cocktail one of life's finer pursuits, I was genuinely excited. The hostess was lovely, warm even, but informed me that without a dinner reservation, the bar wouldn't be available until 9 pm. I was not welcome to simply sit and have a drink. I asked -- politely, I'd like to think -- whether an exception might be made. I was only in town for the weekend and promised that I could be in and out in twenty minutes but the answer was an unambiguous 'no'. There's something particularly unwelcoming about turning away a solo guest who has sought you out specifically for something only your restaurant offers. I came because Carmine does something nobody else does, at least nowhere I've found. And I was unceremoniously turned away with nothing to show for it. I understand the math. A Saturday evening at a restaurant like this lives and dies by full dinner covers, and a solo drinker nursing a cocktail for twenty minutes does not move the needle. But hospitality, real hospitality, has never been purely a numbers exercise. The irony is that I adore this restaurant. The food is spectacular, full stop. Had I possessed a second stomach, I would have happily demolished the Tonno Royale Spaghettini without a moment's hesitation. Carmine has earned genuine loyalty from me as a diner. But a Spicy Sicilian remains, for now, on my list of unfinished business -- and that is a small, specific disappointment I wasn't expecting to leave with.

    If the Soup Nazi was a restaurant…read more You have to eat in 60 mins You have to have food to drink at the bar. Don't like your food, you're welcome to pay for something else. All set Carmine.
