Our drink orders were taken right away but after the drink orders service was a little slow. The waitress explained they were short staffed. I take no stars off for this. Short staff is a common issue including my place of business. Our waitress was very friendly and really good with the children in our party. I really liked the variety on the menu. There were affordable options with some higher priced dinners. There was an option for everyone in our party. I had the stuffed haddock covered with a seafood stew. I'm a little bit of a snob when it comes to seafood stuffing so I was a little hesitant to try it but OH BOY am I glad I did. The stuffing and stew were amazing! No leftovers for me. The rest of our party had various options off the menu and all of us were please with our meals. I highly recommend The Old Salt. A nice ambience. Friendly service. Great food. We'll be back on our next Hampton Beach vacation.

At some point a server brought all four items at once, nothing was coursed. We had no share plates utensils napkins salt pepper no spoon in the crab dip. The crab dip obviously burnt on the edges and lumps of cream cheese. No crab no crab flavor. We had the dip removed from the bill.

Grassfields reminded me, in a nostalgic way, of a restaurant at which I worked in my college years…read more The decor, the ambiance, the wine list, the service, and the menu items, all contributed toward that. I suppose "rustic" would be a good term to describe the interior. The menu offers steaks at prices you'd have a difficult time finding elsewhere in the area, plus chicken, lamb, veal, and interesting specials. Our large group was seated over two tables, which worked well for us in terms of quality conversation among interested folks. Service was quick, friendly, and professional, and all our dinners came out at the same time. We ordered a few appetizers. They were good but a little inconsistent. The mozzarella sticks, homemade, were a little unconventional, with a panko-mozzarella crust. Better, in my opinion, were the buffalo chicken tenders. I mis-read the description of my Argentine Bowl, thinking it was more of a salad. It was steak tips, avocado, tomatoes, and black beans over rice, quite tasty. The person sitting next to me ordered a dinner special the lamb shank osso bucco. While the meat was delicious and tender, it could have had even more seasoning on it, and there was an unexpected amount of fat on the shank. Parking is a little awkward given the shape of the shopping center, and the location of the restaurant. It was nice to see signs designating spaces closest to the restaurant reserved for their customers. This restaurant was the go-to restaurant for the family hosting the dinner event. I can understand why, and I wholeheartedly agree.

They only serve breakfast and lunch, and they close early (2 pm weekdays). The staff, from the hostess to the servers, were all very friendly. Nice to see smiles again in a restaurant! I loved the maple margarita. Perfect balance of sweet and salty. The food came out hot and nicely plated. Do not miss the smashed potatoes, the veggie hash, and the freshly squeezed juices. All are delicious. My omelette was jam packed with all kinds of veggies. The only negative is that it is very loud inside and can be hard to hear your own conversation.

I've been here for both of my sisters' graduation brunches, and we always leave happy. It's become one of our favorite spots for a celebratory brunch. For drinks, I tried their new Vanilla Bean Matcha Latte with oat milk. It was a bit thicker than I expected--possibly because of the oat milk. I can definitely see some people loving that texture, but for me it was just okay. That said, it was still a good drink, and the hint of vanilla came through nicely without overpowering the matcha. For food, we ordered a variety of dishes for the table. 1. The chicken and waffles had so much flavor, and the poached eggs were cooked perfectly--not too runny, but still soft, gooey, and delicious. The chicken was a little soggy, but it made up for it by being incredibly tender. 2. The blueberry pancake was fantastic. Their pancake portions are huge, so this time we only ordered one to share. It was delicious, though definitely on the heavier side. 3. The house burger was easily the standout dish of the meal and might be my favorite item on the menu. It's simple and classic, but packed with flavor. 4. The chicken burger, on the other hand, was disappointing. The chicken was quite dry, and I probably wouldn't order it again. I think something like pickled onions or another acidic topping could help bring some balance and moisture to the sandwich. 5. We also tried the omelet, which was very good, especially with the goat cheese. What really made the experience special was that the staff noticed we were celebrating a graduation and surprised us with complimentary donuts. It was such a thoughtful gesture and a lovely way to end the meal.

Summary: We had a fantastic dining experience at the Blue Moon Kitchen and Bar in Amesbury, Massachusetts. We enjoyed the delicious food, including the duck wings, deviled eggs, short rib grilled cheese, and jam burger. The Rosemary Ginger mules were amazing! The service was incredible, with the bartender Carrie providing exceptional service. The kitchen staff was attentive to my husband's dairy allergy and took steps to accommodate his dietary needs. I would highly recommend this restaurant to others. read more

Unfortunately my celebration wasn't up to par, it was a rainy day so the glass doors were closed, and for a Sat at 4:30 the restaurant was packed. This restaurant is loud with the doors closed, we basically had to yell to talk over the table, definitely needs sound acoustics panels installed asap.. It comes off as a nice fancy place, but as loud as a nightclub. The sound quality was our number 1 complaint of our experience. My mom got a chicken ceaser salad the chicken was so thing it was overcooked, had a hard time cutting it, super dry unfortunately. It was also served on a side dish (small portion), she had to ask for a larger plate so she could actually try and cut the chicken. You really can't mess up a chicken Caesar salad, but this was the biggest let down of the night. The restaurant needs a larger breast, or it needs to come sliced by the chef . I got a burger it was fine. Nothing special for the price. My husband got a burger and wasn't med well like he asked for, it was med rare. Kids got chicken tenders, which were weird looking, looked like crab Rangoons. Which kids don't want weird looking food, they like normal chicken tenders, lol unfortunately my son didn't like and all the fries were cold. We also had an appetizer of mussels those were in a delicious sauce, but the toast for dipping was burnt, and the mussel meat was so tiny! For dessert we had a crème brûlée are birthday tradition, the top layer was cold, it's better served warm. But was fine otherwise. We were served bread dishes with our roll up napkins and never received any bread??? We thought that as weird. We ordered a bottle of wine and or server should be trained better on how to open as my mom had to help her open the bottle. Also our used forks were on our bread dishes, and waitress took 1/2 the party dishes and put our used forks on the dirty table. That's a no, no. All these problems I'm sure will be eventually worked themselves out. I'm sure if they switch that thin chicken out, on the salad as nobody's gonna want super thin dry chicken. The place needs a bit more training for waitstaff, and the kitchen must do better! Especially for a upscale place, As us locals are rooting for this place to do so well. So far the food didn't impress me, but the View, the building and the decor was all done so beautifully. I do know I'll be back as being so close to home, I wouldn't rule them out just yet! as I think the food kinks will get worked out in the end hopefully!
