This was our second visit to Azorean, and it continues to be a charming spot for a hearty meal. The…read morecozy interior was especially welcoming on a cold day. As a vegan, I do wish there were more plant-based options, though the grilled vegetables were quite good--we chose them with linguine instead of rice. We ordered the Mediterranean salad without feta, but it still arrived with cheese. I was able to remove it; however, my partner has a severe dairy allergy, so it's important to double-check that dietary requests are clearly understood. We had mentioned we were vegan, but when we ordered the veggie pizza, we didn't confirm it would be made without cheese, which was our oversight. We ended up giving that pizza to family and ordered another without cheese, and it was delicious. Overall, I'm giving Azorean four solid stars for the warm atmosphere, good service, and tasty food. We hope to see more plant-based options added in the future.

What a lovely restaurant. We were kind of early for dinner, but seated immediately and treated very…read morewell. Inside and outside the restaurant id decorated with beautiful hand-painted tiles from Portugal. My friend enjoyed roast scrod with "punche" potatoes. I had the equivalent of a seafood paella. All very delicious. A great experience overall.

Sit at the counter, mull over the menu with a fresh cup, and watch the day go by from the window. I love that the kitchen and dining room are staffed by the two sisters. This is the kind of place that the patrons and staff are on first name basis. Sure, you'll get visitors like me but this place is mostly locals. My favorite quirk is the Portuguese sausage - linguica; all the way in Gloucester? Count me in. Is every dish executed perfectly? Certainly not. But you can taste the love and care in every dish.

The wait staff makes every customer feel like they're a close friend, and the food was absolutely do die for. I got a simple serving of toast, eggs, potatoes and bacon, and it was some of the best I've ever had. I can't wait to come back when I visit next time!

Went for national onion ring day and for some seafood. I got the bang bang shrimp on salad and my…read morehusband got a whole boiled lobster. The onion rings are low breaded more tempura style and still have some bite left to them, making them easier to eat than ones that have been fried to an inch of their life and come out in one piece from breading that could stand up on its own. These were refreshing in an area where deep fried food can leave you feeling heavy for hours. The bang bang shrimp were delicious, similar battering and frying with a thai chili style sauce. It is not very spicy, but the problem was deciding on what kidn of salad dressing to get with it on a salad. I recommend not getting the salad and just an order of shrimp with ranch. The salad was romaine and parm shavings. No other vegetables to speak of, but the shrimp was phenomenal. Additionally the lobster comes with butter, wet naps and an additional tray for the shell as you work your way t hrough. A nice setup, a nice view, and good food.

Really disappointed in the lobster rolls. We opted for two hot rolls but we should have started…read morewith one to try them out before committing. At $45 per roll, I want transcendent, fresh, buttery lobster. This was not it. The portions were large and they looked delish but the lobster was chewy and rubbery. The experience was also...not great. Grumpy lady at the register. They've set 18% tip as the default option on the register, which is annoying for serve-yourself counter service. Honestly, it felt like a tourist trap especially with the "as seen on TV" signage for Wicked Tuna near the entrance. As a MA resident, I was a lil embarrassed that I made such a bad choice for my first roll of the Summer.

I had visited a number of years ago I realized, and it looks largely the same, like a cozy surf shop within a café including merchandise and zesty decorations around. It's popular and can get cramped with everyone waiting, so there's also an outdoor patio kind of seating area too. The entrance is an unassuming storefront on the main street of Gloucester and down a set of stairs. I had to order the special golden hour latte, a sublime mix of vanilla, cinnamon, and honey flavors with vanilla cold foam. It was one of the best lattes I've had in a while! To eat I had the avocado bacon bagel, a wonderful menu item that hit the spot. Everyone there is very nice. Castaways is a memorable breakfast place, for sure worth visiting if you're in the area during the morning and early afternoon.
