Brisket (6.5/10): The brisket was actually decent. It had a nice texture and taste was ok. Hash Browns (3/10): The hash browns were the greasiest I've had. They were indeed crispy, but I felt disgusting afterwards. Also too salty. Toast (6/10): Toast was fine, but also too much butter. Meal was extremely greasy, buttery, and salty. Service was good, though. Prices were also reasonable.

I really don't visit this area during the busy summer months, but I love the beach off-season. This…read morecafe is truly a bright spot in the area. It's right on the beach with a clear view of the ocean. The windows flip open and must be amazing in the summer months (I think someone posted a photo of the building here). I've been a few times on Sunday morning, when its quiet and peaceful, and the beach air is cool. I've only had the coffee and some breakfast items, but would like to try more. Its a comfortable place to hang out for a little while and the people here are nice. I'll be back again before they close for the season. I highly recommend you give them a try!

They also claim to be a sort of community gathering center. The coffee was ok! Local-ish Fazenda coffee. The lack of customer service was insane. There were staff available but I waited for a while at the counter for someone to notice me and take my order. I spent around $25 for 2 items, am injured with difficulty walking, and they wouldn't let me use the bathroom, hinting that they had one but not "for the public". Instead they directed me to a public restroom down the road with 4 stalls for hundreds of people at the beach. The açaí was good though. I guess you have to weigh the pros and cons.

Since the kiddos were hangry, we got them chicken tenders and fries, crab cakes for the adults and mussels. Let's talk about the food.. the simple but delicious chicken and fries for the kids were soo good and fresh. The chicken was some of the best tenders I've tried and it was moist and good. I was very surprised on how good this dish for the kids was. The crab cakes I can't really talk too much about since I didn't try it but the mussels were amazing with the bread dipped into the sauce.. it was heaven. Now let's talk about my dinner which was the seafood risotto.. this dish was superb! The half lobster and all the diver scallops were amazing. Everything went so well with the Parmesan risotto. I highly recommend this dish if you're a seafood lover. If you're ever around Newburyport, be sure to give this wonderful restaurant a try. You won't be disappointed!

We first went up to the 21+ bar area on the top deck where they were playing live music. It was too crowded and loud for me, so we went down to the bar downstairs. Our bartender was nice and got us our drinks right away. I got the SOBER STRAWBERRY drink which was fine just a bit too tart for me. After only around 20 or so minutes we got a text that our table was ready so we went over to grab it. When we sat down, service unfortunately took a turn and it took forever to get our orders in, get our food, etc. We ordered a few items to share: -CLAM CHOWDER: Chowder flavor was good and a nice portion. -BEET SALAD: The beets were nice and tasty and went well with the greens and dressing. -MUSSELS: Flavor was fine. There were some that weren't cooked as well, also a lot of sand in some of the mussels as well. They did also have a few toasted bread slices to dip into the broth which is always a nice touch. All in all, an ok spot for a bite to eat but wish service could have been stronger.

Our waitress was super attentive and the food came out quickly. And of course, who doesn't love the view? Sadly when I went, it was cloudy! But that's okay because then that meant there was no wait (usually the wait is so long). And it was cool, not too hot. Honestly ideal! I always come back, but I do wish the menu was a bit more expansive.

Our only real option was two seats at the bar. We had quick and attentive service from the bartender. Interesting offerings for cocktails, and we enjoyed our drinks. The food I think can be best described as American/Thai/Asian. Food came pretty fast, and we started with crab rangoon, and possibly the largest we have ever been served. Fried up crisp, not greasy and generously filled with cream cheese and real crab. Next up, we tried the Waygu burger which was quite good, nice toppings. My only complaint here was we wished the fries were fresh out of the fryer. I'm really fussy about fries and like them hot, crispy and fresh. Sadly, these were not. I had my eye on the Choco Taco for dessert, and this was a sophisticated version of the classic frozen treat you may have enjoyed from the ice cream truck as a kid. Home made with great ingredients, it was a perfect finish to a very nice meal. I would definitely give these guys a try when in Newburyport.
