Amazing experience! Food was excellent! (Not always the case when you have such a great view of the water). Cocktails were very good as well. Would highly recommend! read more

Thrilled to see this incredible restaurant in Amesbury. So wonderful to finally have a restaurant on the river. Great dining experience and the service was next level. Our server Linda was, by far, the best! read more

Where is the 6 star option? Any rating less than 5 is ridiculous Make reservations - just call now & put your name in the list. I wish I lived here - we'd be back every week. Fried bread & butter pickles: why doesn't everyone do this?? Absolutely delicious Gnocchi- wow! There's a heat that creeps up & surprises, but it's not overwhelming or unnecessary. It's very good Lobster - I mean Lobstah roll - was amazing. Bilge chunks of lobster in a sandwich that doesn't hide the taste of the lobster. Clarissa was absolutely fabulous. By far - the best bartender / waitress I have ever had. Is that too much? Not for me. She made us great drinks, talked but not too much, was attentive & friendly. Couldn't ask for more. Top shelf liquor like every good place should have! read more

We dined at Markar34 for lunch on their second day of business. The location is beautiful with a modern dining room and a nice outdoor seating deck with a view of the Merrimack river. Service from start to finish was exceptionally friendly and competent. I usually wait 4-5 weeks before eating at a new restaurant to allow for the kinks to be worked out, but we were in the area, saw some posts on social media and decided to give it a try. For their second day, and with an almost full house, I think they did a good job overall. There were some minor food and service kinks, but management addressed them. I have every confidence this is going to be a well run restaurant with a good offering of food. They are currently working with a limited menu that differs from what you will see online. Now about the food, we started with the arancini appetizer and received what we thought to be a generous portion of tasty arancini. My only regret was that there was no bread provided to soak up what was a tasty sauce that accompanied the arancini. The chef has a restrained hand and we thought the dish was properly seasoned. I really dislike when food is overly salty, and that was not the case here. We then moved on to one of their rib eye steak sandwiches which was also nicely prepared. I am excited to see how this restaurant evolves and I believe it will become a great addition to choices in the Amesbury area. read more

Marker 34 soft opened in June 2026, serving lunch, dinner, and drinks at the Marina at Amesbury Point on the second floor. This waterfront restaurant and bar offers a full service bar with seating & TVs, high top tables, and regular table seating. There is also an outside deck with a nice waterfront view of the marina & boats with table seating and a standing area along the railing to place your drinks, plus there are also round high top tables with no chairs in the back corner of the deck. They currently have limited soft opening menus at the time of this posting. The full food menu offerings will include a selection of appetizers, raw bar, salads, burgers, sandwiches, entrees (steak, seafood, chicken, pasta), kids menu and desserts. They offer separate lunch & dinner menus, which vary slightly from each other. The prices are moderate high. The bar has 4 draft beers, beer cans/bottles, wine, liquor, and cocktails. I stopped by Marker 34 for a late lunch. The place was overly busy on their official first day (Juneteenth) open to the public. They had their friends and family nights beforehand. There were no seats available at the bar (walk-ins/first come first served) since everyone was camped out drinking & eating watching World Cup action on the TVs. The tables inside and outside were reservation only and opentable reservations was all booked up until next Wednesday. I went to the hostess stand and the staff said everything was booked up. I asked to see a soft opening lunch menu which they gave me and the manager stepped in and said I could eat at one of the high top tables on the deck, no chairs though. I accepted and headed out on the deck. The server arrived to take my drink order and food order. I got and ice water with lemon and ordered the Heirloom Tomato Panzanella Salad ($19 plus tax) and the Cod Sandwich ($20 plus tax) with Fries. My food items arrived together as requested, in 20 minutes after ordering. Another group arrived and they were also standing around the next high top table and ordered drinks. They asked me how I was able to order food since they were told drinks only. Soon after, the server tells them the kitchen was transitioning over to dinner menu and they would be able to order dinner food 25 minutes later (4:30 pm start). Anyways, the Heirloom Tomato Panzanella Salad had a mix of field greens, ripe heirloom tomatoes, soft burrata, red pickled onions, croutons, parmigiano reggiano, basil, lite vinaigrette dressing. This salad was ideal on a warm sunny afternoon. The Cod Sandwich had a crispy battered cod (flaky), topped with house slaw, bibb lettuce, & tartar sauce on a toasted brioche bun. The standard shoestring fries were lightly and crisp. I also got half of the sandwich boxed. The check was presented which was $41.73 with tax and before tip. Overall, the food here was good and the view of the boats in the river was great. The service was adequate despite being extremely busy on their opening day. I will have to try again here for dinner during the week once their full menu goes live. They also have second room to the left side and more outside deck access, which was empty. That second room could offer more expanded dining room table seating and/or be a meeting/function room. read more

First the disclaimer. 67 year old typical male who would not eat at any of the best restaurants on the Seacoast on my own but have dined at all of them because the wife insisted. Anyway, we wanted to try Marker 34 due to the great location on the Merrimack River, the attractive high end new build, deck and views. We stopped in for a light lunch on a sunny, summer Thursday. I ordered the chicken tenders with fries, both the best i have ever had. That's right, the best I have ever had and that includes scores of places all over the country. Can't speak for the wife but she got the steak sandwich which she really liked......also included the same melt in your mouth, crispy skinny fries. No affiliation with the restaurant.....was very impressed. read more

Party of 4, with 6pm reservations on a Saturday night. Place was jammed, but we were seated right away. Views and atmosphere are incredible. Parking is a challenge...every spot was taken at 5:50! Our server was especially friendly and welcoming. Took our drink orders pretty quickly, but the drinks were very slow to come (second round came faster). Bread wasn't ready immediately, but was delicious when it did arrive. Salmon was excellent and salad with grilled chicken was very good. They are obviously still working out some kinks, but we already saw some improvements from earlier visits (been 2 other times). Our biggest complaint is that while the drinks are good, they are very small. One of the bartenders told us that the martini's are considerably smaller than those she makes for another comparable restaurant. Since the price is not smaller...this seems like a bad decision on their part! So, glad to see service and food are improving. The venue can't be beat. Just need to improve the drinks and my rating will go up! read more

We visited Marker 34 for dinner tonight and were excited to try this beautiful new restaurant on the river. The space is stunning, with a great atmosphere and a setting that has so much potential. Unfortunately, the service didn't match the quality of the location. When we sat at the bar, there were four staff members behind the bar, yet no one greeted us. Eventually one bartender asked only me what I wanted to drink, without acknowledging the other two people in my party. When we asked about gluten-free options, the bartender wasn't able to answer questions about several menu items. We started with the mussels and the chilled tomato soup. The mussels were delicious and a definite highlight. The tomato soup had good flavor, but it was unusually thick and didn't have the smooth consistency we expected from a chilled soup. After finishing our appetizers, we waited quite a while before realizing we needed to remind the bartenders that we were ready to order our entrees. The pork chop was dry and lacked tenderness. The salmon itself was cooked well, but the succotash was disappointing--it consisted mostly of grilled corn with only two small pieces of mushroom and no beans, which isn't what we expected. Throughout the meal, no one checked back to see how our food was or whether we needed anything. For a restaurant positioning itself as a finer dining experience, the service felt inattentive and disengaged. Marker 34 has an incredible location, a beautiful space, and glimpses of a strong menu. With better staff training, more attentive service, and greater attention to menu execution, it has the potential to become a standout dining destination. We hope these are simply growing pains that will improve as the restaurant settles in. read more

This was our second time at Marker 34. The restaurant is beautiful and the service was excellent. Our biggest problem is with the small menu and food quality. When we say quality, I mean, it just seems like it should be better. You shouldn't leave a restaurant hungry. We are rooting for this place to succeed because you cannot beat the location. read more

Atmosphere was superb. Sat at bar. Food - cold and dry (luncheon special Grilled chicken BLT) Drink -great Bartenders - not friendly, rolling of eyes and one had a bleeding finger and did not keep glove on while serving!!! Sanitation is extremely important!! Just opened 3 wks ago. read more

Fantastic new place with a view! Great food a drinks and wonderful River views!!! The restaurant is available by boat with about 4 spaces for transient docking! read more

I give it a 2 star only for the fact its a beautiful building, location and layout. Drinks are good too but food was terrible. My medium rare burger was extremely rare to the point i could not eat it. No apologies, no ask if i wanted it redone. No care at all from the servers for a crappy $22 burger read more

The best part about Marker 34 is the view. Entering the building felt like a cold, sterile, secluded hotel lobby. The main dining room was extremely loud due to high ceilings (pretty) and glass doors closed for a/c. Having a drink at the outside rail was nice. Our service was seriously lacking; not related to getting the kinks out of a new restaurant. For example, she filled one water glass at our table and walked away even after I moved mine closer to her to fill. I noticed her coming from the bar area with one drink for one table, while we had been waiting for ours too. Doesn't seem very efficient. The menu offered some variety but they were out of the salmon and mussels, so we were pretty much left with chicken and beef for options. I wasn't impressed and won't be back. read more

We were so excited to try this restaurant and we were extremely disappointed. We were told we had to leave by a certain time, but our food took at least an hour. Our waiter never checked in while we waited, he never offered us another drink or something to tide our children over, and we were shocked at the lack of care the waitstaff and hosts provided. They didn't have three items we'd hoped to order, and when we ordered the mussels, a different person came back to say they "didn't have any mussels ready yet" so we couldn't get them. We left hungry and ended up taking the kids to McDonald's. So much could have been assuaged with a comped appetizer, a separate taste of something, a bread basket, anything. Because the review asks, it was a beautiful restaurant and a great view. read more

Having dinner here was such a pleasant experience. The salmon and salad were excellent. The waitstaff was efficient and very friendly. I will definitely go back read more
