    I will say it was very busy but that is no excuse for the host to be rude and not very helpful. We had to get our own chairs when we had reservations and were sat at a table without the correct number of seats and left us standing there. We ended up finding our own chairs to be able to sit. Waitress was very nice and food is good. I would say train the host better because it doesn’t give the customer a good feeling to start off with a rude attitude like we did something wrong when we had reservations.

    Fried haddock from Gloucester was very fresh and delicious. Guinness was fresh and well-poured. Winter punch drink was yummy. Bang bang shrimp was tasty, but I was expecting crispy sticky shrimp instead of a creamy sauce. The shrimp were a good size, though. We would go back again! Loved the cozy atmosphere.

    The service was awesome! From the minute we walked through the door until we left Kim couldn’t do enough for us. Good was delicious and was more than enough to eat - got 2 meals in one. Drinks were delicious too. We’ll definitely be back.

    The food was just ok, my Cesar salad was not as good as any other I’ve had, it was actually bitter with hardly any dressing. My flatbread pizza was subpar, it was bland and the flatbread was flavorless. With that said my daughter turkey sandwhich and my husbands meal was good. There was a young girl flying around with food that almost ran into us and made it seem like we were the issue. Slow down, relax, it’s Valentines Day and I had my daughter with me so sorry!

    Enjoyable causal dining experience. Very nice service sitting at the bar. Finished up with decadent choco lava cake. Will go back & try the burgers.

    Waitress was really sweet, ambiance was warm. Food, not so great. Short rib was tough, mini baby carrots were undercooked. Dessert was decent, chocolate cookie dough with ice cream.

    Could not believe how packed it was at 5:30 pm on a Saturday! The service was excellent, food was really good, drinks quite expensive, ambience lively and sorta loud but not too loud to talk. Lots of young people with young kids at 5:30 pm. I had the Fall martini, fall salad, and Greek flatbread. All delicious. We had to pack alot of it up and leave because of toddler running out of manners—-lol. But this is probably the best food and ambience in Ipswich right now.
