We stopped here late night after many rounds and not enough "real" food at Play arcade. Reviewing the receipt jogged my memory. Getting old(er) is no joke! The interior is very cool! It has a great vibe! The staff is friendly, and we were seated right away. We skipped drinks and went right to the food. We had fries, tuna nachos and deviled eggs. All of the food was reasonably priced and it really hit the spot. This was a quick visit that was absolutely worthwhile! If I'm back in New Bedford, I will definitely return here to explore the menu a little further.

Their cocktail menu has a lot of fun options. I had the Caesar salad and added shrimp.

For desert we had a scoop of the passionfruit guava sorbet and the night agent cocktail. Our sever put a sparkler in our gelato, gifted us two glasses of champagne and gave us a Polaroid picture of us. What a nice touch! A very cozy local restaurant with beautiful decor and great vibes.

The restaurant itself is on a little island and has waterfront seating even though it was too cold for us to sit outside. Our waitress was kind but not overly attentive. However, it didn't hinder our overall experience. We made a reservation and were sat immediately. The menu was large with many different options for cocktails, appetizers, pizza, sandwiches, and a variety of main courses. Most dishes are going to run you between $25-40. Everyone had the scallops tonight- I did the scallop and clams plate and my companions did some of the other scallop options. I was very happy with the scallops themselves- they were sweet and fried well. I wish there were more on the plate as I only had about 5-6 smaller scallops. The fries were great and nicely crispy. My only real complaint is the clams- they were not as crispy and a little on the blander side. For $33 I think the portion sizes could have been bigger as well. My friends all liked their dishes and I would definitely come back at another time to try some of their other dishes.

The lunch menu changes so you can get steamers, mussels, crab cakes in season. The entrees are substantial with a range of fish and meats cooked on their grill, fried, or baked and served with your choice of vegetables or salad. Their glass bar is a highlight and the "stuck on the bridge" signature drinks is worth the visit.

For entrées, the scallops with risotto were outstanding. The Chicken Bosco and Chicken Francaise were both amazing: tender, flavorful, and beautifully prepared. For dessert, my mom loved the caramel apple cannoli, which paired perfectly with her cappuccino. It was an excellent meal from start to finish, with attentive service and great food.

Not Chewy but almost buttery. But two factors take away a star for me. First off, our appetizer took forever and service could be spotty at times. Most tables around us were already on their main course but it just slowed the whole meal. Add to that prices that tip the scales in part. Clams and fries for near $40 is just a bit steep. My clams were quite good but it was a modest portion for the price. That said would I come here again? Yep. Just keep my wallet full.
