We go here a lot because the food and drinks are the best. The specials are great and they always have seasonal entrees and drinks to choose from. read more

The staff here are incredibly nice. I stopped in to pick up a friend's order recently and the hostess was so friendly. She's from the upper Midwest and she raved about some items I've been dying to try on the menu. It was a very welcoming experience. As anyone who frequented the very popular restaurant that formerly occupied this space (The Milepost) can attest, what was formerly a classic, intimate, but ultimately dated interior has been throughly refreshed. The changes in lighting alone are transformative! I'm looking forward to popping in for lunch myself sometime soon. read more

First time here for lunch. Food was very good and fresh. Steak tips and seafood were excellent. Only issue I have is very noisy.. was there at lunch time on a Saturday. Service was ok no real issues. Just very loud We will be back. Perhaps dinner time is a little more quiet read more

My husband I have been here twice recently and thoroughly enjoyed our visit. The food is absolutely phenomenal and service is always very prompt and friendly. On my most recent visit, I tried the raw oysters and then the seared scallops with risotto and asparagus. The seafood was sooo fresh and the scallops were cooked to perfection. My husband has a gluten intolerance and this place has SO many gluten free options - nearly every menu item is or can be made gluten free, and options are clearly marked. The only downside is that this restaurant can get quite loud, as it is seemingly very popular and tables are close together in an open room. But the food is worth it! read more

They just do everything right. Drinks are great and come fast from bartenders that care if you like your drink. They make a proper and excellent old fashioned. Service is always good especially at the bar. I've ordered at least half the menu at this point and it ranges from very good to great. The ribs and steak tip combo is a go to. Pizzas are awesome. The dining room is really loud even on slow nights, could stand some help wih the acoustics. 6-8pm there's always a wait but we try to time getting there right at 8pm and can usually find seats at the bar. read more

From cocktails to dessert and service. Every part was perfect. Lively atmosphere on a Sunday. Calamari was the best the three of us have had. The Brazilian fish stew was amazing. We loved our experience entirely. Cocktails were plentiful. We will definitely come back. read more

I miss the mild post as many of us do. It was cozy. It had a pub like atmosphere and the food was consistently delicious. This new place is too bougie and it gets extremely loud. The food is just so so. read more

BBQ ribs, mashed potatoes, asparagus for coleslaw. Meat right off the bone; definitely smoked. Shrimp 'Nduja. AMAZING, both saucy and creamy. Went on a busy Friday night, recommend getting a reservation as I saw people get shut out early as 6 pm. read more

Absolutely fabulous meal! The service is spot on.. loved everything we ate. Got a gift card from the kids as they know we like it here. Just wish they had more lunch options on Saturday and Sunday but they do have a brunch menu to choose from. It can get busy at night so I suggest making a reservation.. if you haven't been just go and enjoy! Thank you to the entire staff because that is truly what it takes to make a place run so well and efficiently! read more

We've enjoyed this wonderful restaurant many times since it opened. We especially like the menu and the wide variety of offerings. Visited recently for a family meal and it did not disappoint. Service, drinks, and food were spot on. They've done a nice job with the space available and, judging from the healthy volume of business, they're doing things right. We made a reservation in advance and our table was waiting for us upon arrival. Give BRT a try and I think you'll enjoy it. read more

Again another five star experience with another incredible meal. Not only is the team incredibly kind incredibly accommodating, they go out of their way to make sure you're happy. And I have to say I have never had food that has been prepared this well. And I am a pretty good chef. If you like grilled salmon on Caesar salad, you're in for a real treat. They make incredible fish dishes they make incredible everything. I hope they're success continues to grow. Because we are so lucky in this community to have people that care enough to provide us with a very best food and ambience possible. read more

Visiting from out of town. What a fabulous find! Really cute upscale but New England style restaurant with everything from oysters to flatbread. Truffle fries are a 10. Scallops over risotto were divine. Had a large party but service was prompt and very sweet. Maybe a tad noisy but oh well! Highly recommend! read more

Food was superb - so many options and everyone at our table was so pleased and said we would definitely be back! Service was also excellent ! It's been on our list for a while to dine and so glad we did ! read more

We had an amazing time and the food was to die for! Our server was fantastic and recommended the burrata and I'm so glad she did because it was the best burrata I've ever had. Then had bolognese and Mac and cheese both were good. And for dessert we had a crumbled cookie with ice cream and was also good but the true star of the show was the burrata I would eat that for the rest of my life if I could. Also we both got cranberry mules which were very good. read more

Great food, service and atmosphere , the menu keeps getting better each season , bartenders are awesome , keep up the great work

Quickly seated on a Saturday but service was ok. Wings and Bolognese were a four out of 5.

Great remodeling of the space! Lighting in bar area could use a rethink. LED?? Does not blend with the rest of the restaurant. Definitely too bright. New bar design nice! Appetizers good. Calamari could use more flavoring. Oysters and steak rolls great. Baked haddock wonderful as was the fried chicken and rib eye! Martinis perfect especially the peppermint bark... as expressed by one of our dining party members!! Olivia was very attentive, knowledgeable and pleasant waitress! read more

Lovey place. Friendly staff, salmon salad was perfect. I didn't prefer the mussels sauce. I didn't taste the coconut and wasn't expecting it to be red. . Otherwise the mussels were great. But not as good as I found them to be last year. Good price point as well. We had the Pessimist red bled which was yummy read more

What a great find in the little town of Duxbury! The prices are fair and the food is very fresh. We absolutely crushed the fresh oysters . They were extremely fresh and we were sad when they were finished. The coconut shrimp was very crunchy without a ton a batter and the shrimps were huge!! I would recommend ordering both appetizers!! Out of the entrees the Shrimp Nduja pasta really stood out. The sauce was kind of like a vodka sauce, but lighter and it was incredibly delicious. Highly recommend that dish! I would order again in a heart beat. We shared the bread pudding which was very heavy, so I recommend sharing. It would be too much on your own if you had apps and a full entree before. Everything was delicious, the service was great and timely, the restaurant was very cozy and a fun vibe to enjoy dinner with your family and friends. Big thumbs up for this happy belly read more

There is a lot I love about this place. Convenient from route three with plenty of parking. Great service and a neighborhood ambiance. So far my food experience has been OK. I tried Salmon last night. Just wasn't tasty, a little bland. Starter salad was pedestrian. I will continue coming here because it's a great neighborhood restaurant. Bartenders are spot on. I'll keep trying different dishes, see what works. read more

We had dinner here Sunday night with my cousin & his wife. Our server was excellent! Last time I ate here I had the fish stew that was delicious & filling. I had the New York Steak this time which was unexpectedly very tender with red wine sauce & mushroom risotto! My wife, my cousin & his wife all ordered the Baked Haddock which they said all enjoyed and was filling! Seating near the bar area can be noisy however it adds to the fun atmosphere. All of us were too full for dessert however they have great choices. read more

Bluefish River is a great place to get a delicious meal. The service was fantastic, we sat at the bar and had two bartenders attending to us. I had the salmon. It was delicious with a nice crust, and perfectly cooked bok choy and rice. My wife had the Swordfish, it was very tasty, however slightly overcooked for my liking, but still delicious. Its ambiance is nice but as others mentioned it is very noisy with the restaurant full. I definitely recommend this restaurant for a delicious meal and great service! read more

Early lunch was phenomenal. Had the baked oysters and the mushroom crostini for apps, both exceeded our expectations. Next a Harvest salad with a vinaigrette dressing hit the spot. For the mains we went with Fish Tacos (baked fish on request) and the Crispy Skin Salmon with asparagus over a parmesan risotto and topped with a cranberry chutney...EXCELLENT! Service was attentive but not pesky, very accommodating and friendly. Atmosphere was relaxed and pleasant. Highly recommend! read more

We appreciated the air conditioning when we entered Bluefish River Tavern on a sweltering summer night, but it became too chilly after a while. The nautical decor contributed to the casual fun atmosphere. The fruity Summer Sangria was refreshing while we waited at the bar for our booth. The creamy mushroom risotto complemented the Baked Haddock well. There was an abundance of hand-cut fries on the Seafood Platter Special and the haddock, shrimp, scallops and onion rings had a light crunchy coating. Our friendly and efficient server checked in regularly to see if we needed water, drink refills, or dessert. We ended the meal with delicious chocolate lava cake, tiramisu, and strong coffee. read more

The food is wonderful and you can't beat the small brownie oysters in the half shell, they are the best in the South Shore. The staff and the management are all very accommodating and friendly . If you haven't tried it hurry up and go you won't be sorry . The only thing that could make this place better is that they offered some seasonal outside dining . read more

Food was excellent and the menu has so many options for people with Gluten Sensitivity. We enjoyed the table right next to the fire. Will return for a date night. Definitely enjoyed the Duxbury oysters. A must try! read more

Our food was fabulous - the service was superb - the bathrooms were immaculate - could not have been better. I had the crab cake sandwich (lots of crab and not so much filler) and my husband had the fish sandwich (huge piece of steamy, flaky fish). Our server, Olivia, was the best - she made great suggestions, kept our drinks full, and kept an eye on us to make our visit excellent. I would come here again and highly recommend. read more

Nice early evening dinner with the best service!!!!! The waitress made the experience pleasant and was helpful with drink and food choices. We started with the calamari which was the best I have ever had!! Very tender and excellent sauce and presentation. My husband had his favorite fish and chips which were perfectly cooked and huge portions. I had the Fish Stew which was absolutely amazing and I couldn't t finish there was so much wonderful fish, broth and rice. Definitely will be back! read more

Great food with many options, great service. One of my favorites. Nice setting but it can be loud. A tad on the pricey side but worth it.
