    Came in feeling down for a drink and and appetizer. Was greeted by the bartender Amanda. She gave me a makers mark a potsticker. She cheered me up and I will definitely return for some good cheer. My wife liked the service also.

    Home style offerings. Good cocktails and drink selection. Consistent quality of food and service. Family-friendly.

    Nice stop for lunch if you're in Charlestown, just not if you're in a rush. It took about 35-40 minutes for our food to come out when we ordered and there weren't many people here. The sweet potato fries were phenomenal- totally recommend. The burger was good (random note but the cheese is thick- my friend liked that and I did not so do with that what you will). Yummy though! They have a cute outdoor area to sit if that's your vibe! Inside is a little dark but we sat by a window so we got some natural light. The AC was really nice though. Service was fine, but it took a while to get seated, to get our food, and to get our check.

    Fantastic lobster roll! Our server Lynette was great and the outdoor seating was perfect!

    Wow! Where else can you go for a shrimp Caesar salad that looks like this! Amazing hometown spot! Like Cheers...... where everybody knows your name! Rock on Marissa and Kelsey

    New place NEW town. We are spending the weekend in the area and we wanted to try this new place. I have to admit I wasn't pleased with the waiting time, 45 minutes its a little to long for anybody but OH BOY! It was worth the wait? YESSSS. Our waitress was so sweet and so helpful. And the food? YUMMM . fresh and a good size portion. No wonder why this place was so busy, they also have a nice back patio where they play nice music with a karaoke. Loved it

    Quality of food has drastically dropped in the past several months. Service is okay. Drinks are good. Stick with drinks and apps.

    I had another great visit to the Nordic this afternoon and I really enjoyed the buffet…read more They still have the same great selection of appetizers, meats, seafood including all you can eat lobster, side dishes and a small but nice salad bar. There is also a very bountiful selection of desserts. Today I went with the maple bacon slices and garlic knots as appetizers and both were delicious. For my mains I picked the baked stuffed shrimp and the prime rib. The prime rib was excellent so I actually went back for seconds. I had a baked potato plus a small salad for sides. The maple bacon was very good and since it is kind of hard to find in restaurants I went ahead and got a couple of more slices of it to top off my dinner. Their dessert bar has so many different offerings that it wasn't easy to decide on what I wanted but I ended up picking a slice of carrot cake along with a brownie plus a dollop of whipped cream to add to the brownie. One of the things I like about their dessert bar is that the servers there give you the option of only getting a half slice of their cakes which is great because that way you're saving room to try even more of their options instead of getting too full from just one thing. It's really the best way to go and you will get to try more of their delicious desserts that way. They have plenty of options here for food and no one ever leaves hungry. We arrived almost an hour earlier than our scheduled reservation but they were nice enough to let us sit down and start dining right away. And we were all hungry when we got there so it was nice that they let us dig in early. We had Josh as a server and he was a pleasure to deal with. He is very attentive and helpful. He even gave my mother some good tips on cracking the lobsters and getting the meat out more easily which was very much appreciated. He was great as far as clearing plates, refilling beverages and making sure we were satisfied with our meals. A very good worker and a skilled waitperson. I stopped into the gift shop after the meal and they had a nice beer glass with their Nordic logo on it as a gift to me for dining with them during my birthday week. The outdoor grounds were nice to hang out and relax for a while before the drive back to Boston. They have benches and hammocks set up plus it was great to see the live animals such as horses and alpacas that they have on the property. They also had a music band playing outside for entertainment. Superb food and a great dining experience. I am already looking forward to our next visit!

Enter to pay and directed to the arch to be seated. It was filled, demonstrative of the experience. The placemat provides the direction to find the cuisine. As busy as it was we could hear one another without raising our voices. Delicious. Our server was Kat and she was a delight. She even demonstrated on my friends lobster; the most efficient way to release the meat.

    Sometimes the best meals are the ones that take two decades to finally happen. I had a gift…read morecertificate tucked away that my late father gave me 21 years ago, and we finally put it to use stopping in for a late lunch before heading over to the Ocean Mist for a show. ​Cap'n Jack's is delightfully unpretentious. The dining room side has a warm, classic hometown family vibe, while the bar feels like a cozy local watering hole where everybody knows everybody. Since the weather was gorgeous, we grabbed a table out on the patio overlooking the salt pond - absolutely unbeatable scenery for a laid-back afternoon. ​Our server was fantastic and took everything in stride. We all had a great laugh when we realized the gift certificate I handed her was literally older than she was! Shoutout to the management for honoring it without missing a beat. ​I ordered a cold Samuel Adams Summer Ale, which paired perfectly with the view, and we decided to split the Fish & Chips. It arrived as a huge piece of lightly battered haddock fried to absolute perfection - crispy, fresh, and super tasty, served with a generous pile of solid fries. ​I honestly can't explain why it took me 21 years to finally make it out here, but it was a wonderful experience from start to finish. I'll definitely be back way sooner next time to give some of their daily specials a try.

    It was early in the season. Loved the fish and chips. Wait staff were courteous and helpful…read more We met the cook/owner I believe as we were leaving and he spoke to us. Personal touch. Decorated like a sea cottage, very cute and rustic. We will be going there again, for sure.
