    Tucked into the scenic harbor town of Hingham, Massachusetts, Trident Galley and Raw Bar is more than a restaurant--it's a refined yet approachable culinary experience curated by seasoned restaurateur Brian Houlihan. With a deep appreciation for coastal New England flavors and a commitment to excellence, Trident has quickly become a must-visit destination for food lovers and locals alike. Atmosphere From the moment you step inside, Trident strikes the perfect balance between cozy and inviting. The space is thoughtfully designed--nautical without being cliché, modern yet timeless. Large windows frame the patio for outdoor dining , giving diners a serene backdrop to their meals, while the energy of the open raw bar adds a touch of vibrancy and authenticity. Food Trident's menu is a love letter to the sea. Every dish highlights the freshness and quality of the ingredients, and the attention to detail is evident from start to finish. The raw bar is nothing short of exceptional: briny, pristine oysters shucked to order, and impossibly fresh clams. The pan-seared scallops over seasonal risotto, are a standout--perfectly caramelized and delicately seasoned. Scituate fish and chips is another hugely popular menu item, local haddock expertly fried with a light crisp batter. The lobster sliders special, is a local favorite for good reason: generous, succulent chunks of meat nestled on a perfectly toasted brioche bun. Even the simpler dishes, like the fish tacos, house-made chowder, or salads, deliver bold flavors with subtle elegance. For those looking beyond shellfish, you can't beat the grilled ribeye with truffle fries and a side salad, the chicken avocado sandwich, upscale grilled cheese on sourdough bread, duck confit à l'orange with potatoes sarladaises, and roasted carrots. Service The staff at Trident strikes a rare balance: attentive without hovering, warm and friendly. Their knowledge of the menu, wine selection, and craft cocktails is impressive, and they carry out every service with genuine hospitality. It's clear that the team has been trained to reflect the high standards set by Houlihan himself. The Vision Brian Houlihan, no stranger to the restaurant world, brings his expertise and passion to every inch of Trident. His vision is clear--fresh, elevated seafood served in a beautiful space where everyone feels welcome. There's a personal touch to the way the restaurant operates, and if you're lucky, you might even spot Houlihan himself greeting guests or checking in on service. Final Thoughts Trident Galley and Raw Bar isn't just a great restaurant by the water--it's an experience. It respects the region's seafood legacy while bringing a fresh, modern perspective to the table. Whether you're a longtime local or just visiting the South Shore, dining at Trident feels like discovering a hidden gem that you want to tell everyone about--but also secretly want to keep to yourself. A true standout on the Massachusetts coast. Bravo, Brian Houlihan.

    Mushroom lo mein & salmon. Good but salty, and fabulous, lose the tomato salsa!

    Given the location, I was prepared for mediocre food and service, but was pleasantly surprised. Especially the salmon entrée was good.

    Went here this past Monday because Wifey was craving oysters. This place was nearby and offered BOGO oysters. We were greeted and seated right away. Started off with 2 dozens. All were very fresh. Then we ordered: Clams 3 Way(must get!!), Cataplana, Haddock and Tuna tacos. We will come back very soon when she craves oysters!

    Classic Caesar salad. Ordered with shrimp and without croutons.

    We came in on a Wednesday night around 7:30 and were seated immediately. Staff was very courteous and attentive. We ordered a few different small plates to share and they were pleasing, but nothing earth-shattering. The standouts were the deviled eggs, buffalo cauliflower, and charcuterie board. The two salads I wouldn't order again just because they were fairly average. The menu online is out of date so be sure to check the physical menu when you come in. Very much a cocktail bar ambiance with small, tapas style bites.

    Wings were amazing ! Bartender created a drink that specifically to my taste. I called it the "Betsy" a coconut, flavored expresso martini. The bartenders name was Betsy she was very accommodating & great personality! We would definitely return.

    Seafood stew close-up!  Look at this feast in a delish tomato broth that was so tasty I wanted to lick the bowl!

    WOW what a fantastic restaurant! This was our first dinner at Trident Galley in Hingham. Jay the Manager welcomed us and made us feel welcome and comfortable immediately. There's also a relaxed vibe in the dining room. First impression: 5 out of 5! The meal? I had the Portuguese stew that consisted of a plethora of seafood and lots of it! Shrimp, scallops, muscles, clams and more in a delicious tomato broth that was just perfect. My guests ordered the Catch of the Day which was haddock. Once they started eating it, they stopped talking and enthusiastically ate every incredible morsel. Yes, it was THAT delicious ! High 5's for food, ambiance, service, price and presentation! This is definitely going to be one of our favorite restaurants and another winner by Chef/owner Brian Houlihan. Amazing!!!

    Balsamic flavored Brussels sprouts
    Hong Kim L.

    Came back here twice in a row during my trip to the Hull Massachusetts area. It was one of the decent seafood places open in our area since we were isolated from many restaurants. And whoa the experience was a success. After a full day, we chose this location for a small bites dinner and a round of drinks. Everything was fresh to the very last bite. Our host was so gracious to let us know to wait a few minutes for the clock to hit 9pm for the $1 oyster happy hour. Such fresh oysters for a good deal. The same can be said about the tuna poké, lobster rangoons, and those flavorful mouth watering pork belly tacos. Even the Brussels sprouts packed a punch in flavor. I wasn't a fan of the drinks as I felt most of the cocktails were sour. Second visit decided to play it safe and just had a glass of rosé. Aside from the drinks, this place saved our trouble of going hungry in the Hull area for dinner. Thumbs up.

    $1 oysters delish
    Jeannine O.

    This is of the places close to home that stays open late so we were hoping we would like it and we did. The $1 oysters after 9 were excellent. They also offer $1 oysters during happy hour 4-6 m-f. We had a couple of beers on draft that the bartender suggested (Vitamin Sea & Widowmaker) both were easy going down and would definitely have them again. Plan on coming back frequently and trying out their other offerings. Super nice people working there.

    Scallops
    Jessica L.

    We ordered scallops, brussel sprouts, truffle fries, & oysters. Came for the $1 oysters and really can't beat that deal! Oysters tasted fresh. Brussel sprouts were delish - perfect amount of sweet, salty (there were bits of bacon), & crispy. Scallops were great really can't go wrong with scallops. The risotto that the scallops laid on were OK not awful but nothing out of this world. Truffle fries I would not order again. I am a fry-snob and like my fries crispy. I also did not taste the "truffle" Service was great, waitress was attentive and kind.

One of the 3 bartenders didn't make the drinks right but he did mk em' strong so if that's your cup o tea then by all means go for it lol. You must get the sticky ribs appetizer. You get like 5 pieces and are a must try. Get some wet naps in your purse ahead of time or I'd say finger lickin' good lol. The flat bread pizza was good too and their portions are not small. They also had wings done nice and well. They had a dj mixing on a Saturday night and he did real good and there was music for everyone. Space is great for dancing, eating or lounging.

We just relaxed and ate a few courses, were there about 90 minutes and I never felt rushed. Everyone who helped us was kind and the pizza was delicious. My friends loved her steak salad. And the cheese tower we shared was perfect to snack and talk about RHWORI, which literally I heard every group in the place talking about which was fun. Then the 3 cheesecake sampler was a perfect way to close out the night!

    This was my second attempt at coming here, hoping I would have a better experience than my first…read morevisit. Unfortunately, this visit was even more disappointing. The first time I came was on a Sunday, and the restaurant was very quiet with only a few people there. The server who took our order completely forgot to ring in our drinks and food--not once, but twice. We waited around 30 minutes before anything arrived, and when it finally did, the drinks were incorrect. What made the situation worse was that the server never apologized or acknowledged the mistake. That being said, the food itself was excellent and honestly a 10/10. I decided to give the restaurant another chance and came back on a Friday, expecting a better experience. Unfortunately, the service was even worse this time. The servers seemed extremely unorganized and unprofessional. We waited about 10 minutes just to receive menus. When we tried to order two different bottles of wine, we were immediately told they didn't have either one, without much explanation or any attempt to offer alternatives. The atmosphere is supposed to be calm and relaxing, but one of the servers was extremely loud, which took away from the overall experience. I also noticed a child behind the bar, who was later driving a scooter around the back parking lot. Whether or not this is typical, it definitely added to the feeling that the restaurant lacked organization and professionalism. To be fair, the food was once again very good, and I have absolutely no complaints about the quality of the food. The biggest issue is the customer service and overall management of the dining experience. There is clearly a lot of potential here, but the service needs significant improvement. It's especially disappointing because I originally heard about this place through an employee who works across the street at their other location. She was incredibly sweet, professional, and had a great personality, which gave me high expectations coming here. Unfortunately, the experience at this location did not come close to matching that level of hospitality. I really hope they take this feedback seriously because the food is genuinely amazing. With better organization, communication, and customer service, this could be a much better dining experience.

Nothing on the menu or from the server mentioned that, which was disappointing right away. When I told the server I didn't like it and wanted something else, he literally tilted his head and said, "ummm what do I tell the bartender?" That honestly rubbed me the wrong way -- just felt unprofessional and awkward. Jenny got a tequila cosmo, which was fine, nothing special. Food-wise, everything was just average. The bao buns were overcooked and the bun fell apart, though the flavor was decent. The pineapple fried rice was probably the best thing we had, but even that was just okay. We also had dumplings -- Jenny liked them, but I thought they were just alright. Dessert was the biggest miss. The blueberry cobbler was not good at all -- maybe a 3/10 at best. One thing that really didn't sit right was when we asked to split the tasting menu and were told no. That doesn't make much sense -- if people want to share, especially for a tasting menu, it should be allowed. Overall, nothing stood out in a good way, and between the service and the food, solid ambiance , it just wasn't a great experience.
