    Came here and hostess told us it would be a bit and was super friendly and tried to get us good seats not in the rain. We ended up sitting at the bar and it was pouring so we asked to turn on the heat lamps above us. The bartender asked someone else (not the bartender himself) and that guy gave us a hard time about it which was weird and uncalled for. I ended up getting the meatballs which were so good and my boyfriend got the chicken parm which was massive and also delicious. I got a negroni which was super tasty and would recommend. Taking one star off for that rude heat lamp person, but overall a great experience and would come again!

    This is a nice respite in the middle of the craziness of Commercial Street. One really feels like they are in a small, secluded garden. Great classic rock at a low volume was playing. We had some wine and beer here, prices are too high. Got the whipped ricotta for an appetizer; very tasty but really an appetizer for four people, not two. Menu here is very limited here. We shared a Chicken Parmesan for dinner. It was a huge piece of chicken, but it was flattened out, so it wasn't very thick. Also, it was slightly overcooked and had way too much granulated Parmesan cheese on it. Unfortunately, this entrée is not served with anything. Pasta is super inexpensive, not sure why they do not include it with this dish? Big miss IMO.

    Arancini...so yummy!

    We wandered by before opening hours but liked what we saw on the posted menus so of course we killed some time waiting. We were there right at 4 and luckily so because this place filled up quickly. There was a good craft beer selection and some incredibly interesting cocktails. I chose a gin & tonic made with white pine. A subtle pine taste and so refreshing on this warm day. A quick look at the food menu and....ooh, I spy arancini! Yes, please! They arrived quickly and were delicious. Great looking space , extremely nice and accommodating staff, fabulous bartenders and a kitchen kicking out delicious eats. I'll be back!

    Wow - the ambiance in this place alone is enough to make you want to stop on. The effort they put to create this beautiful outdoor place with greenery and wood accents I felt like I was in another world. It's hard to explain the atmosphere but it was really like walking into a secret garden and you felt transported. We loved it !! Unfortunately we did not eat here though the food smelled delicious ! We ordered a couple beers. They were expensive but for this town I think that is understandable. I wish they had more of a beer selection than they did but we ordered a nitro brew and a lager. The service was decent . A little slower but it looked like all the tables were full so they must have been busy. It was a Thursday night. Overall, worth a stop in just to sit in the area. We really liked it !!

    Meatballs with side of Pasta and a Margarita

    The resturant is beautiful and the drinks are amazing! But, sadly the food was okay. I think they need to work on putting some better options on the menu. Basically like not have sure "posh or fancy" items on it, I am saying keep it simple. For example my sister got the Sweet Pea Pasta dish and did not like it. I would keep it simple and do a Pesto Pasta instead. The Meatballs is just a dish by itself it does not come with Pasta you have to order it separately. Again, keep it simple do a Pasta with Meatballs. The sauce is odd and noodles have a hole in them which made them cool off fast) a bit cold when it came out. They need to work on the sauce either more spice or use a different tomato. But it isn't bad I just didn't like the sauce that much and the noodles were a bit cold. Overall it was a beautiful spot but the food needs work and so does the menu.

    Eggplant parmigiana and heirloom tomatoes in tomato butter- omg !
    Jonathan R.

    Wow! What a find. So unassuming we passed this place twice. Thank goodness we were persistent. We hadn't even warmed our seats when fellow patrons gave us the skinny. Chicken or eggplant parmigiana, Brussels sprouts salad, and the heirloom tomato's with tomato butter - OMG! All I can say dear readers is after the tomatoes you will never and I repeat never be the same. There isn't enough crispy bread to sop up that tomato butter and red sauce. Seriously, we'd take the ferry from Boston just for dinner. Way to go Nor'East! And did I mention the beer is great too? Enjoy!!

    A beer garden with great food and ambiance. Fast service. A very cozy covered patio shine or rain.

    This has to be one of the coolest places in Ptown to have dinner. The outside ambiance sitting at the bar under vegetation can't be beat. The staff are friendly (if you can get in) and it's a very social dining experience. I ordered the scallops with a pee purée and what a combination. My scallops were perfectly cooked. This should be on your list, just not when I am in town so I can get in.

    Comfortable small room with good cocktails and plates. We were able to get seated without a wait. The cocktails were tasty. The Scallops dinner was delicious - only a few Scallops but the Asparagus and Polenta with Pea purée were flavorful and filling. The service was attentive.

    great food great staff amazing bartender. everyone is so welcomin. The food is delicious! The bartener takes suck pride in his work I love it ! Oh and he's absolutely adorable

    Covered patio section
    Jill H.

    4.5 stars, really I'd bookmarked Nor'East Beer Garden knowing we'd have to check it out. Lucky for us, we snagged the last available covered table when a brief rainstorm hit. The outer patio (had it not been raining) would be awesome for people watching and relaxing in the fresh air. The covered patio toward the back holds a lot of charm, and was just the atmosphere we needed on this rainy afternoon. Trellises covered in vines provide a cozy, intimate feel to the joint. Food - the chicken parm is incredible. Devine. You will want to devour it, but don't. Savor it for a while. My husband kindly shared a corner of it with me. I ordered the Stracciatella - a dish with beats and an Italian mozzarella with cream (the Stracciatella portion of the dish). It comes served with 4 pieces of wonderfully toasted sourdough bread. I'd never had Stracciatella before but live beet salads so I took the risk. It, too, was a wonderful, unique dish. Let's just say, I ate well! Drinks- mostly fantastic but the reason for not a straight up 5-star. I chose more of a sipper - the Negroni. It was perfect. My daughter chose a fruitier cocktail with strawberry which she absolutely loved. It reminded her of these Minute Maid popsicles I used to buy in the summer. Only my husband was a bit disappointed. He's the resident beer guy. He's a casual home brewer and craft beer aficionado. We come from a town that is known for craft beer and have several bars in town which serve 50-100 types of craft beer at any time. So his expectations were that he's have an extensive selection from which to choose; probably unrealistic for an establishment of this size in a tiny tourist town. A couple of the options on the beer menu had been marked as "kicked" plus another he'd hoped to order which was unmarked. The server didn't offer which beers had replaced the kicked ones. That left roughly 9-10 beers on tap plus about 10-12 in cans/bottles. Don't worry, y'all, he found something to drink; he just hoped for a more extensive selection. All-in-all I'd say Nor' East is a terrific choice for dinner, linch, or a drink.

    Mussels
    Danielle D.

    Cute spontaneous find for lunch. Only a few tables so I suggest getting there when the open. So adorable how it's decorated. You feel like you're in a garden with all the vines. I had the mussels gluten free, no bread. Very good.

    The mai tai in an appropriate receptacle
    Jake W.

    Don't be fooled by the name. This place is so much more than a beer garden. I look forward to Nor'East reopening every year, because it's my absolute first-choice spot for a cocktail and the food is also stellar. And you're outdoors under a lovely canopy, so you really can't beat the ambiance. The menu changes every year somewhat, with a different soft focus felt primarily in the small plates. This year's theme seems to be Italian, and they pull it off nicely. The meatballs were giant and delicious. The chicken parm was absolutely massive. The gem caesar salad was a hit, as were the cold mussels. I don't think I've ever had a single disappointing thing to eat here. I really can't recommend this place highly enough. It's my unprofessional opinion that they make the best cocktails in Ptown. I'm particularly partial to their tiki and tiki-adjacent drinks. Even though the mai tai is off the cocktail menu this year, they still made me one. Their painkiller is also phenomenal. And if you overlooked making reservations, Nor'East is your friend because they don't do reservations. Simply give your name and phone number to the host, go grab a drink nearby (I recommend AquaBar across the street) and they'll text you when your table is ready.

There's plenty of seating, both shaded and in the sun, which made for a really nice atmosphere. The food was average overall and seemed more pre-made than homemade or gourmet.

What really stands out here is the atmosphere it's the main reason to visit. The staff was also very accommodating and friendly, which added to the experience.
