You can very easily tell when someone takes pride in their work no matter what their industry or profession. Our server definitely took pride in her work and professionalism. Then came the food. Prompt and hot. Just like we like and as expected. Again we've been very fortunate to have such great experiences lately at almost all of our outings... it's a very casual laid back atmosphere and fairly quiet for the size of the restaurant. Overall I have really enjoyed our entire experience here and will definitely be back again ! Until next time... Aloha

The California eggs Benedict is 10/10 and so so incredibly fresh. Green perfect avocados, incredible hollandaise, wonderful tomato, egg poached to perfection. I really feel like this is the best breakfast for miles around. THEN there's the godly blueberry pancakes. 3 huge fluffy pancakes with just the right amount of sweetness. Get them to go if you're stuffed! They fit perfectly in the round take out container, and do stay fresh. The home fries are fantastic. But, add onion for an even better option!!

Unfortunately, the overall experience was very disappointing. Our food took over an hour to come out, and when one of my friends received her shrimp scampi, there was a hair in the dish. When another server stopped by to check on us, we explained what had happened, and her response was, "Oh, do you want a new dish?" Of course we wanted a new dish. Would anyone want to eat food after finding someone else's hair in it? We let our actual server know, and she was apologetic, which we appreciated. However, there was no compensation or any additional effort made to address the situation. What was most disappointing was how little concern the restaurant seemed to show about the issue. Between the extremely long wait, finding a hair in the food, and the lack of response from management/staff, I left feeling very disappointed. Unfortunately, the food itself wasn't particularly good either, which made the experience even more frustrating. I would not recommend this restaurant.

I will give her a zero rating if I could. We're regulars and usually drive 40 minutes just to get your chicken and waffles, so this was really disappointing. We waited about 20 minutes for a table, which was totally fine. But once we were seated, the hostess kept bothering us--first over being seated just 5 minutes early, and then again while we were still finishing our coffee, telling us other people were waiting. We ended up eating and leaving less than 1 hour, so it's not like we were taking up the table for a long time. What made it worse was that no other tables were treated this way, which made us feel singled out and honestly pretty uncomfortable. We had brought friends with us for the first time, and unfortunately this experience left a bad impression and ruined the visit. Just plain Rude!

Pancake Perfection at Stephy''s Kitchen!…read more If you're looking for a warm, welcoming breakfast spot that consistently delivers outstanding food and service, Stephie's Kitchen in Beverly is an absolute gem! My husband and I love joining our granddaughters and their mom here because the cozy atmosphere makes everyone feel right at home from the moment they walk in. During our recent visit, the stars of the morning were definitely the pancakes. Our granddaughters were thrilled with the giant cinnamon pancakes drizzled with sweet icing and the blueberry pancakes overflowing with fresh, juicy berries. The pancakes were not only delicious but also beautifully prepared, bringing huge smiles to their faces with every bite. Seeing how much they enjoyed their breakfast made the experience even more special. The food was absolutely delicious. I enjoyed a create-your-own omelet filled with fresh ingredients and cooked to perfection. My husband loved his hearty breakfast plate featuring three eggs over easy, savory sausage, creamy grits sprinkled with brown sugar, and what he declared were the best home fries he has ever eaten. Our daughter thoroughly enjoyed her tender steak tips, cooked just right and bursting with flavor. Our granddaughters seemed to be in breakfast heaven. They delighted in their giant pancakes creamy avocado on homemade toast, and tall glasses of luscious lemonade, their favorite treat. The smiles on their faces were as sweet as the pancakes themselves. Our friendly server impressed us by listening carefully to all five orders and remembering every detail without writing anything down. The excellent service, cozy atmosphere, and wonderful food made the morning feel extra special. The service was friendly, attentive, and genuinely welcoming, creating the perfect setting for a relaxing family breakfast. It's clear that Stephie's Kitchen takes pride in both their food and their hospitality. I highly recommend Stephy's Kitchen to anyone looking for exceptional breakfasts, generous portions, and a cozy family-friendly atmosphere. This restaurant never disappoints, and we look forward to many more memorable mornings here. Five stars all the way!

"It's much better to face these kinds of things with a sense of poise and rationality" - i picked it because of this quote on the menu, and i forgot how much i used to love p!atd. i thought to myself, "i've heard this before somewhere..." i loved the bread & roasted garlic butter, however on a little cutting board it was difficult not to make a mess. i guess that's part of what makes it "kitchen table." it is the perfect, round sourdough loaf with the most delicious butter. the roasted chicken was prepared flawlessly. juicy and tender inside, and a perfect crispy skin, just wow. i absolutely loved the selection of spring vegetables, along with the sherry sauce; sautéed spinach, carrots, mushrooms, and onions. the mashed potatoes were perfect once i added extra salt, extra pepper & whipped it up with more of that garlic butter to my liking, however it was prepared great. i requested it without bacon butter, how it typically comes prepared, and the garlic butter is a great substitute. everything was impeccable. i travel to boston often just for food, because i find that the food in beverly, as a whole, is just not up to par, even with all of the marketing. kitchen table is different than any other restaurant in beverly, and now i don't have to travel so far to get the most delicious meals! i am honestly blown away by how amazing my meal was, and i highly recommend kitchen table to anyone in the north shore, and i'd even say it's completely worth going out of your way for. whether solo, a romantic or friend date, or with a small or large group, kitchen table is here to serve (one of the best meals you've had in a long time). there were some other ladies at the bar that were extremely hospitable and helpful as well, i didn't catch their names this time. i wanted to take some pictures at the end of my meal, at closing time when it had emptied out, and molly encouraged me to take all the pictures i needed. just fantastic service by all of the staff. i couldn't be happier with my first experience at kitchen table. here's to many more! ambiance: 4.9/5 food: 5/5 drinks: 5/5 service: 5/5 kitchen table: 5/5

My bf and I stayed here in March. I found the website online and was convinced it would be…read morewonderful because of the gorgeous pictures of the place and the stellar reviews I found all over the internet. When we got there, we found the owner and his girlfriend cooking dinner. They were very nice and welcoming. I knew to expect the owners living quarters to be really close to the guest rooms because of some of the reviews I read but since the room we were in had a private entrance we weren't worried, we figured we could come and go and have the privacy we were looking for with no problem. We told Ted that we were late sleepers and not to worry about providing breakfast for us (the website says breakfast is served between 8:30-9:30). We would much rather sleep in and then grab brunch somewhere and we didn't want to hold him up from whatever he may have had planned for the day. He seemed somewhat resistant to the idea of not providing sustenance for us so after a little discussion, J and I told him "okay, how about 10:30?" He said he would leave certain items out for us. The house and our room really were gorgeous! Ted is an architect and he has done a really great job on the house and grounds. We stayed in the pond room which had cathedral ceilings, a two person jacuzzi, a gas fireplace, double glass doors, lighted double sinks that automatically turned on when you walked into the room, a whole wall of windows, decks, and heated floors. We were really happy with the room. It was very clean and decorated with a subtle nautical theme. From the moment we got there, we kind of felt like we had to whisper in our room. Probably because there wasn't any other guests there that weekend and the owner was having dinner 20 ft from our door. I know they probably couldn't have heard us but it did make me feel more uncomfortable than I thought it would. In the morning, we were woken up bright and early by the sun coming through the large, high windows in our room. No wonder breakfast is so early, how can anyone sleep through that? However, I do have to say that if I wasn't a cranky morning person, this would be a really enjoyable way to wake up, sun and beautiful blue sky and trees to look at while lying in bed. We pulled ourselves together and quietly went to the kitchen for breakfast. Ted said he would leave things out for us so we assumed we'd be alone. He immediately came around the corner when we got to the kitchen so it felt like he may have been waiting for us. He served us cantaloupe slices with yogurt, granola and berries and a tomato and basil quiche, which was all very good. What wasn't good was that he talked to us from the kitchen the whole time we were eating, so we had to keep turning around in our chairs to respond to him. It was uncomfortable and awkward (if he had sat down with us, it wouldn't have been as bad). During our weird breakfast conversation, it comes up that J is a software engineer and next thing you know, Ted is asking for help with a website he is working on. I have no problem with J helping someone out, but DUDE we're on vacation and we are paying you good money, don't ask for business help while we are trying to relax. It just wasn't appropriate. I said "Maybe when we are on our way out on Sunday he can help you for a bit". After that, we pretty much chose to use our private entrance to the room when we came and went from the house. We didn't feel like discussing in great detail every time we came back from somewhere, what we had done and where we had gone. I think Ted meant well, he had a lot of advice and suggestions for things to do and he was a really nice guy but it just didn't mesh with our style. For the most part, we like to be left alone when we go away and Ted didn't seem to pick up on the signals we gave him. I think this B&B would be really great for an older couple, for some reason I feel like older people are more open to this type of attention. On Sunday when we packed up, J was heading out to take some things to the car and Ted followed him outside for help on his website. He spent more than an hour working on something with him, while I sat in our room waiting. We probably won't go back. Gorgeous place, beautiful backyard and pond, and nice trails that lead to a running path and the harbor. I really liked the physical surroundings but didn't really feel relaxed because Ted was overly available and obviously in closer earshot than we would have liked. A week later, Ted called and asked BF to go on trip advisor and write a positive review of our stay!! No wonder I found so many good reviews online. 5 stars for aesthetics and 1 star for invasiveness! It wasn't horrible but it was not our style. **Updating this review in March '09: Ted called J a month or so ago and said he found this review and apologized and offered us a free night at the B&B. Not sure if we'll take him up on it but nice that he tried to make amends.**

This gem is nestled in a quiet neighborhood bordering a 37 acre sanctuary with trails that lead down to Salem Harbor. I looked at a number of B & Bs before finding this obvious and rare jewel of a home. Ted and Sophie, our hosts, were flexible as we arrived early and left a bit late since the off season is easier on everyone. This home has been meticulously redone, as have the beautiful grounds. Indeed, this property is featured in a number of architectural, gardening, and home magazines. The obvious care and attention to detail is very very unique. Our host, Ted, and his lovely dog, Sophie, made us feel right at home. Ted has an easy way about him that makes one feel like family the second you walk through the door. As is common with Bed and Breakfasts, you are a part of the family while in residence - that's the charm. The breakfasts were lovely and we invited Ted to join us as we learned about the house, its history, and received numerous tips about local attractions, restaurants, shops, and some of the local North Shore news. All in all our stay was wonderful. Ted opened his home to us and helped make our stay a memorable and relaxing time. I most enthusiastically recommend the Fox Pond B&B; we'll be back!
