    New England Clam Chowder
    Nicole N.

    Excellent! They have a variety of martinis. Right on the beach, close to the pier. The clam chowder was so tasty! We got 1lb crab legs for $23 (Sunday special 11a-4p) and surprisingly not too packed. The wahoo was on special and probably my favorite fish of the whole trip! Highly recommend this restaurant. Limited outdoor seating though

    Fried scallops

    Sister's lunch while walking around the pier area. It was warm out so we were looking for inside seating and seafood. The fish taco's and tuna burger were mouth watering. The New England clam chowder was a bit thin but very tasty. The broiled haddock was not as flakey as we wished it would be and the fried scallops were too watery. I don't know if they were short handed or just run one server normally but she was overwhelmed and the service was not the greatest. We didn't receive drink refills, got charged for extra sauces we never received and was basically ignored. The hostess was a wonderful young lady, it was too bad she wasn't the server.

    This place knows how to do food!! Start with She Crab soup and Oysters Rockefeller. I love the trigger fish, although anything you order is fantastic!! Our bartender John was simply amazing, he made sure our food was prompt and our glasses were never empty, very attentive and friendly. This place is the bomb.

    Tonight we decided to tryout The Anchor. We were seated immediately and our server Brian took our drink order which was margaritas. He brought us ice waters and shortly after our margaritas. The margaritas were very good. We then placed our dinner order my husband ordered the Trigger fish blackened and fries, I ordered fried shrimp with onion rings. We also received salads with our dinners. The decorations in the restaurant are very beachy and beautiful! We were seated where we are able to look at the ocean. Service was excellent from our server to all working there. Very happy and satisfied with our dining experience!

    Cheeseburger and coleslaw. Both excellent.

    Been here a couple times and always enjoy it. The service was slow this visit so I took a star away. The food was surprisingly good. I ordered the shrimp Parmesan which I normally would not do in a non-Italian restaurant. But I have to say it was excellent. The sauce that came with it was very fresh and light and delicious. The shrimp were cooked perfectly and very tasty. Honestly, I was pleasantly surprised. My husband got the filet mignon and he said it was very good as well. This is slowly becoming my favorite restaurant in the area and I will be back again.

    Stuffed flounder and seafood pasta. So much food this is going home.

    What a wonderful meal!!! Our waitress Elsa was friendly and recommended several entrees. We had the calamari which was a nice start. Drinks were very good. Rum runner, spring spritz and the show stopper the chili mojito. So good we had two. Our family ordered haddock, stuffed flounder , the seafood pasta and triggerfish. My pasta and my husband's triggerfish were perfect. The others said their meals were good too. You get a salad and side. Order the Greek salad. It is amazing! This was our first visit, but we will definitely be back to try the whole belly clams.

    Excellent service, very nice upper deck outside with ocean views and the best corned beef hash…read moreever! It was a rainy Thursday morning 10:30am. Not many people out n about so I couldn't really get a vibe for what the place would be like when it gets busy. But it was a great spot for breakfast and we sat on the rooftop area inside so it was covered from the rain, but I can't wait to go back someday for the outside ocean front deck, even closer to the water. I ordered the Irish Benedicte with hash that is homemade on premise with slow roasted corned beef. Very tasty. The side of Home fries were thinly sliced and I had gravy added to that so it was tasty too. Our server was excellent, Trevor was a very nice guy and he recommended we come back for the all you can eat ribs. I wish I was staying in town longer and I would. I'll make a point to come back next visit.

Wasn't sensational. The bruschetta was very good. My husband enjoyed his fish sandwich. The manager killed a huge beetle that was on the ceiling. Just glad it didn't take flight. The manager took our 2 dishes off of our bill. What's outrageous is that they charge a 2.9% service fee when using a credit/debit card. That's not posted anywhere. Our server,Sage, she was sweet. Will we go back? Definitely no. Too many other places to try.

    Second visit to Next Door Beach Bistro and once again -- phenomenal…read more Last night I ordered the Beef Bourguignon with cream potatoes, and it was everything this classic French dish should be. The beef was incredibly tender, slow-braised in a rich red wine reduction with pearl onions and mushrooms. The cream potatoes underneath were smooth, buttery, and perfect for soaking up that sauce. Every bite was delicious. We started with the Filet Carpaccio, thinly sliced and topped with shaved parmesan, capers, arugula, and crostini. Fresh, light, and beautifully plated. The bar program deserves its own mention. You can order a vodka soda anywhere, but here they elevate every drink with presentation and detail. Instead of a simple lime wedge, I watched drinks come out with full lime rounds resting on the rim. My Chocolate Martini dessert drink was practically artwork -- topped with a dehydrated orange slice, chocolate shavings, orange zest, and crossed chocolate-dipped sticks. It looked incredible and tasted even better. Atmosphere is another win here. Guests ranged from cocktail dresses to casual beachside attire and somehow it all fit perfectly. That balance is hard to achieve, but they've nailed it. We sat on the patio (about 67°) and they had the panels down, which kept it comfortable while still letting you enjoy the beachside atmosphere. Even the hallway to the restrooms was lined with art -- thoughtful details everywhere. Some restaurants look great but don't deliver on flavor. Others taste great but lack atmosphere. This place does both exceptionally well. Dinner for two with drinks came to $131 before tip, which felt very fair for the quality of food, cocktails, and overall experience. Looking forward to visit number three.

    Family dinner. We got a the big table in the corner. Server was great and very attentive…read more There was street parking and a couple of parking lots nearby. Beef Bourgeon $31 Spaghetti squash with chicken $20 + $5 for chicken. A glass of Caymus Walking Fool $17. A bit noisy and hard to talk to everyone with a round is table but was nice to be able to sit on one table with a large group (13).
