We were here to see the Edward Hopper exhibit that's running from July to October as a celebration of Edward Hopper' works inspired by the houses and the towm of Gloucester itself. Excellent display and the rest of the museum is also a great place to visit if you're in the area. You can possibly spend 2-3 hours if you want depending on your space. There are also some cool sculptures in the courtyard. There's limited parking in a lot across the street. A gift shop is located inside the museum that sells magnets, books, postcards and other things. CAM is located in what's basically Downtown Gloucester if you're interested in exploring restaurants, shops and cafes.

This is a lovely little museum with many wonderful paintings and sculptures displayed in beautifully arranged galleries. The staff without exception was friendly and helpful. Go on a Tuesday or Wednesday if you can. But for me, the jewel of the setting is the extensive and usable research library. Don't leave Gloucester before you visit the Cape Ann Museum! My photos are from the quiet and shady garden.

The best museum on the north shore by far. The cape Ann museum has everything you need to know about cape Ann. The people that run and work at the museum are spectacular. The architecture of the ships and the building itself is impeccable. The archive area is amazing they have everything from trains to fishing to even reports on the cape itself. Just a all around amazing place to go to. Would recommend 5/5

This is a great little museum in downtown Gloucester. The Winslow Homer exhibit was really well done, showing his time on Cape Ann & the various items, people, themes that inspired his work during that period - beautifully done! The permanent collection highlights Gloucester's long history with the sea & includes living artists, something I really appreciated!

An outstanding museum focusing on what makes Gloucester unique. You can easily spend 2-3 hours here. I highly recommend taking advantage of a tour with a docent. The 60-minute tour was informative and engaging. After you are finished at the museum, walk toward the water a couple of blocks and you'll have plenty of great cafes and local shops to choose from.

A quaint museum in the beautiful and historic town of Gloucester about an hour's drive from Boston. Right now, the museum is showing a must-see exhibition of Edward Hopper. It was in Gloucester 100 years ago that Hopper became the Hopper we know today!

Small art museum on the North Shore. I came to see the Hopper exhibit before it leaves and it was very nice. The permanent exhibits include paintings on the first floor and historical artifacts on the second. Small gift shop. No food is sold here. Small parking lot across the street.

This is a beautiful park, not to be missed. We arrived around 2pm and were able to park for free. The staff at the visitors center was so friendly and helpful. There are plenty of picnic tables under the shade. The view overlooking Half Moon Beach and the harbor is beautiful.

Very great place to take a walk and go fishing. There is a visitor center, if you want to know where you can fish, please ask that lady. They have a bathroom under the patio. Super nice view over there. And free parking lots.

This is a beautiful park with fantastic views. It also has a beach and so much history. My family especially liked seeing the cannons. Unfortunately, we were unable to fully explore the park as we would have liked, due to our schedule, This would definitely be a place that I would go back to. There were many picnicking areas that had shade. The visitor center was well maintained.

The park is 5 stars but there are tons of unleashed dogs, and I stepped in dog poop. People blast awful music and its hard to enjoy any of the spaces here bacause of that. Parking is expensive too. The rules need to be enforced, otherwise youre better off going somewhere else.

Nice park for families. Scenic views of the Atlantic. Good amenities. Beaches are rocky and "swim at your own risk.

such a beautiful spot for the family. playground, trails and the stunning view of the Gloucester Harbor. plenty of picnic tables and you can even grill there.

Far from where we are but well worth it.. had a fantastic family day in a beautiful place with great pictures and you can grill there.. 10/10

The Hammond Castle tour turned out to be an incredible surprise—completely unplanned, yet unforgettable. Stepping inside felt like entering a living medieval castle, still echoing with the presence of its eccentric creator. The stunning collection of art, furniture, and décor, all housed within a custom-designed fortress, revealed the mind of a true inventor who clearly delighted in entertaining, impressing, and astonishing his guests beyond imagination.

Hammond Castle is genuinely magnificent. I first went there because I was hired to be in a film, & it was so beautiful that I immediately knew I had to return as a tourist to explore and learn more about its history. The architecture is stunning, full of unique details, and the views of the ocean are breathtaking. Visiting as a tourist is such a fun experience. The castle isn’t overwhelmingly huge, so you can comfortably see everything in a few hours, and the staff is friendly and welcoming. There are tons of interesting exhibits and historical tidbits about John Hays Hammond Jr. and the castle itself, which makes it feel like stepping back in time. It’s also very photogenic, perfect for anyone who loves photography or just wants a unique day trip. I had an incredible time both being part of a movie there and exploring it on my own. Whether you’re into history, architecture, or just looking for a fun and different outing, I highly recommend Hammond Castle!

The most perfect place to have a wedding! Working with Deb was a dream, she’s so kind and knowledgeable and was constantly reassuring me that everything would come together, even when the elements (aka the weather) was against us. I got so many comments from guests that this was the absolute best wedding venue they’d ever been to, and I have to say I agree. I felt like we got a lot for the price, it felt extremely high value. Zero regrets in booking this venue for my wedding, it felt like a true life fairytale.

Beautiful! It’s worth the uber from Salem. I’d recommend getting the ticket that allows you to explore on your own. You can explore most of the grounds without a ticket. But, inside the castle is very much worth the ticketed price. And the workers were very nice and helpful.

It was such an enjoyable experience! The exhibits are well-organized and supported with informative panels. The place is very clean, and the staff are friendly and helpful. Definitely worth a visit!

We took the guided tour. They only really take you into 2 of the rooms and then the rest you just explore. I'd highly recommend doing guided if you want to learn about what an interesting, peculiar guy Hammond was. I had no idea it was basically a castle themed/built museum ABOUT castles. It's a museum about castles, inside a castle. The gift shop will tell you there were 17 cats and he was buried with them, the tour will tell you that the gift shop is making things up and he had maybe 14 the whole 30 some odd years he was there. That was a bummer. The pool room has TONS of hidden gems that you need a guide to tell you. The view outside is amazing. It's definitely something you have to see.

John Hays Hammond Jr built Hammond his oceanside castle between 1926 and 1929 to house his historical artifact collection (Also radio control experiments and inventions). Cant forget the 8.5 ft deep heated swimming pool in his indoor courtyard he built to resemble a 15th century French village square. Goals. It was beautiful and nice to wander around inside and out. Complete with gift shop and wedding venue options the modern day is present here. The $25 admission is bareable because im sure the upkeep is atrocious.

My husband and me visited this beach every year, We love the tranquility of its waters and their crystal-clear waters. This beach is perfect for families with children or for people who don't know how to swim because it's flat and the water doesn't go deeper than knee-deep for several stretches. If you come during the summer, you'll find lifeguards and remember to reserve your parking online several days in advance. 100% recommended 💖

“Beautiful beach with stunning views and very clean surroundings. Parking is $47 on holiday weekends (usually $37).”

Awesome beach with very nice water. The beach runs shallow for almost a mile which provides a lot of playing ground for the kids. One of the downside is the parking which is just so costly ~$50 for non resident parking. However we went in evening at around 5 and at them it's free. There is proper washroom which gets closed by 6pm. There are couple of porta pottys which are available.

Honestly, the beach itself is beautiful—the sand sparkles, and the water is clear. Unfortunately, the experience is overshadowed by how crowded it gets, making it hard to relax. The facilities aren’t great, with bathrooms that aren’t clean and no rinse stations to wash off the sand. Because of this, I have mixed feelings about recommending it. If you’re looking for a calm, peaceful getaway, this may not be the right spot. But if you enjoy a lively, social, party-style beach vibe, you might have a better time here.”

Second or third time visiting one of the best beaches in Massachusetts. Parking lot has to be purchased online with ten days in advance, and it sells out fast. It's almost $50 per car, which would be okay if the bathrooms were in better condition or didn't close before 6pm, and the staff wasn't so utterly rude. This is the safest beach for little children to swim, explore and have fun during summer. I highly recommend it, but make sure to be ready to leave by 5pm or you'll be taking all the sand into your car/house.

Fine sand, big boulders and clear waters in Gloucester. Definitely one of the best beach in the state.

If you’re into a more peaceful ocean experience, this is the place for you! Calm pools and shallow, clear waters make for a delightful experience as you walk out towards the various rock formations. Super munchkin friendly! If you’re wanting to board, go somewhere else, as there are no breakers here, and watch out for the gulls. Those anarchists will snatch food right out of your box as you’re walking away from the snack bar, and should not be trusted. Their beaks are mad sharp yo.

Great beach! We love coming here for the soft sand and fun waves. During low tide there are tide pools and a river the kids can explore, plus an island you can reach via a sandbar. During high tide there’s still plenty of beach. The parking is great - plentiful and stretches across the whole beach, making it easier to spread out and you never have to walk far.

☀️🌊🏖️🦀🐚 Good Harbor Beach is a great beach with plenty of space for lots of people! We had a great time at Good Harbor Beach and caught lots of ☀️! At low tide you can walk across to the island and maybe find some 🦀 The food stand can be slow to order and receive your food so plan accordingly. My lobster roll and fries took 30 minutes to be ready but that was pretty common for everyone there. Overall we had a great time at Good Harbor and will make this one of our top beaches in the area!

We visited Good Harbor Beach in July and really loved it! We booked our parking spot a few days in advance, so when we arrived, we just had to show our reservation — super easy and convenient. We went early in the morning, which allowed us to park close to the beach entrance. People start arriving around noon, so depending on what time you like to enjoy the beach, parking and getting a good spot can be easier or a bit more challenging later in the day. The beach itself is very beautiful, with calm waters that are perfect for families with kids. We had such a relaxing and fun day, and we’ll definitely be coming back next summer!

Although the parking is limited and prices are salty, after 3-3:30pm the parking is free and there's always spaces to park. Short distance between parking lot and the beach, well maintained bathrooms but not so well maintained showers. Clearly a popular beach, by the crowd today. The water was ice cold in early August on a 80F Sunday. The tide rises suddenly in the afternoon, it's a beautiful scene to admire while sunbathing. Very pleasant beachn!

Good parking, well stocked bathrooms, convenient snack stand, helpful walkway mat in the sand leading from the snack stand to the start of the beach, making getting to the beach earlier for anyone with mobility challenges. The views are beautiful, and the beach is clean. My only complaint was people smoking cigarettes which ruined the enjoyment of the fresh air. Also, Keep an eye on your French fries and snacks for some assertive sea gulls.

First time coming here and it was enjoyable. We got there for 8am so there was plenty of parking, I do think $45 with tax $47 this year for parking for non residents is terrible! I did enjoy the fact that there are little waves here so its not a quiet beach. Walking the beach at low tide in the morning was nice, you can go to the puddles around the rocks to see what's in there and also cross the water to the island and climb it which we did not do. There's bathrooms with changing rooms, a food area, and an area that sells beach accessories. The beach at low tide looks very large but when it starts to come i it does get quite narrow. The seagulls are very vicious come lunch time, I saw a few attack people while eating their food.

Public beach that is about a quick $5-$10 Uber Ride to MBTA Gloucester train station. Locals are nice. Beautiful scenery. Low tides & shallow waters areas especially for the small toddlers and babies. Although, there are no public restrooms available, the closest is the local hotels & restaurants off Beach Ave. There is a small bridge that connects the beach to the local neighborhood & a small parking lot is available for families.

Beautiful place. Don’t be thrown off by the “private road” signs. The lighthouse is owned by the state so as long as you are only using them to access lighthouse during open hours and are being respectful of the private property, you’re allowed to use it.

A hidden gem! Eastern Point Lighthouse is a cool place to visit in Gloucester, with amazing views of Gloucester, and you can even see as far as Boston. Along the way, you'll pass by a lot of signs saying private road, residents only, etc. Ignore those signs. The lighthouse is completely public. There's a small parking lot you have to pay $10 for, and a short trail to get to the breakwater. Great place worth checking out in Gloucester!

Beautiful lighthouse. U cant actually get to it . U looked at it from the causeway. Lots of lobster boats to see coming and going. To get there lots of signs telling u not to drive on the private roads. But they r not. Just ignore them . $10 to park

It feels like one of Gloucester’s best-kept secrets. Tucked at the very tip, it’s got that perfect New England vibe, waves crashing on the rocks, gulls calling overhead, and a long breakwater that makes you feel like you’re walking straight into the ocean. Getting there is part of the adventure. You have to drive down a tiny private road, and there’s no real dedicated parking lot and There are no restrooms. The lighthouse is closed to the public, but the scenery more than makes up for it. Between the salty breeze, endless water views, and that peaceful coastal feel, it’s the kind of place you’ll want to linger.

Lovely lighthouse off the beaten path! Drive down a one lane road past the "private road" signs all the way to the end to get there, then through a narrow trail and a little maneuvering on rock to get to the granite walkway

Super cool to see in Gloucester. You feel like you're driving in a private area, but don't worry, it's worth it at the end.

Eastern Point now has a guard at the road entrance which dampens the mood on way to visit lighthouse. There is barely any parking, about 6 spots shared by both the lighthouse viewers and nature preserve visitors. Ten dollars to park! USCG runs the lighthouse, so you cannot walk on the property, it is behind a chain link fence. Hoever, you can view it and you can walk out on the breakwaterrocks.

Stunning views and beautiful architecture to photograph a Portrait, Wedding or special event. Check out this recent ceremony taken by me. When booking this location you do not have access to the museum. You only get to use the beautifully landscaped grounds. So keep that in mind when planning a photoshoot.

Absolutely fabulous historic home. The tour was fantastic and detailed, with illuminating stories about the fascinating Henry Davis Sleeper and his home. The design of each room is magical and eclectic, and the gardens are stunning. An absolute must visit!

The Beaufort, Sleeper-McCann House is an absolute treasure. The home is so well preserved it’s as if Henry Davis Sleeper is just in another one of the other fifty rooms of this spectacular home. It’s a visual marathon and just when your eye has settled on 1 object in a collection of 100 you are swept away by the wallpaper or silk lamp shade that has been pleated and ruffled, sitting on a federal style drop leaf tiger maple table a top a psychedelic centuries old hooked rug. Our tour guide Brian was great! He had a vast knowledge of the decor, Henry Davis Sleeper and the events of the world during the creation of this home.

What a beautiful and scenic property. Many photo opportunities, great 1 hr led tour and history. Don’t hesitate to visit and go!

Beautiful historic home, we did the 1 hour tour and it felt very rushed to get us through the house without allowing time to really take in the items on display, which was a little bit of a let down since there's so much in there, and all of it seemingly meaningful/intentional

I was absolutely blown away at this house! It’s a real-life fantasy that inspired me so much that I got a membership just so I could return for the longer tour! Be sure to book in advance as the groups must be small to truly enjoy the details of this masterpiece!

A very eclectic home to visit with many nooks and crannies, and many rooms both large and small. Beautiful views of the ocean! Many collections to see. The docent was informative about the home's history. The signs approaching the museum could be more visible as well as more of them near it, since the area is very busy and heavily trafficked in season and when the weather is nice.

Overall very nice day me and my wife ate at the lobster land food was very good service was good too meet the cast wicked tuna

Landmarks we Know. Back to Gloucester exploring the coast and the Essex Coastal Scenic Byway. We visited this memorial in 1979. It is great to be back to remember our fellow sailors. The inscription is from the Bible, specifically Psalm 107:23, 24, which reads: "They that go down to the sea in ships, that do business in great waters; These see the works of the LORD, and his wonders in the deep". #abuelosmochileros_landmarks #abuelosmochileros_gloucester #abuelosmochileros_massachusetts

It is wonderful path in the middle of the city. The flowers are just so beautiful and it makes the walk around there worthwhile. You can see also go in the water as there is a mini beach version of it. You can walk to the rocks and enjoy the view of the water. Ample parking available on the street. The most amusing things is that you can see the bridge open for boats to cross which causes traffic but it's nice to watch. Well maintained and definitely worth stopping here for the walk!

This entire Waterfront area is very nice for walking sitting on a bench looking at the ocean and taking advantage of the lobster roll truck. One of the best lobster rolls I've had in a long time in the ladies running it were so pleasant and when I expressed how good the food was they were genuinely appreciative

Beautiful!!! Walking path right by the water. A park is close with rocks to climb for a better view.. Bonus.. They had flowers beds down the strip between the water and road. 💕

Our walk was extremely pleasant and relaxing despite the slow rain. The park and flower beds are gorgeous.

Beautiful historic town! Recommend stopping by.

Pretty beach and beautiful water! We're from the Gulf Coast where the sand is truly white and soft, and this beach does not have white sand like it boasts. However, still a very pretty coastal beach.

This beach was recommended to me by a local since all the other beaches were by reservation only. A pretty beach with serious waves. I spent a nice day there and would probably return in the future

Love this beach! Been coming here for over 36 years now. Always stay at the Cape Ann Motor Inn for prime sounds of waves to fall asleep to each night. Very convenient for families!

I loved it. I actually went to photograph a birthday party, but I really loved it. Easy parking and polite people.

One of my favorite spots to get away and relax.

Nice beach. Public parking is tricky to find. The app sends you to a private parking, a little bit further down the road you can make a left and there is the beach, by the end of the street.

Nice beach with clear clean water!

Absolutely definitely and so fresh. This restaurant hot the spot with it's dishes. I recommend getting a reservation as it can get busy. Parking lot can get full but plenty of off street parking. The view and food come hand in hand.

Generous portions of nice food. Great service, unique location & facility. Live music outside on the deck was cool. Would come back here if in the area 100%

Great experience visiting this restaurant for the first time. The baked haddock was delicious. I would definitely come back just for this. The service was excellent.

The food here was amazing and I had one of the best dishes I’ve had in YEARS, the Salmon and Exotic Mushroom Risotto. REALLY impressed, all 3 of us ate every bite of our meals. The only very small complaint is they don’t serve water with the meals, I had to ask a few times which I thought was odd. As I looked around many people did not have water. There is an outside deck which was booked ahead of time when we made our reservations and it overlooks the marshes, really a place you want to dine!

This place hit THE Spot with direct aim. Great views, prompt service and delicious food. Yup, I "loved" my smash burger for left-overs along with.

Come here for the vibes!. The view out back is amazing. This place is popular so expect the wait to be a bit. The staff was fantastic. Very attentive!

What a perfect place for lunch after a long morning whale-watching! The view is magnificent, the food was amazing and the service (Shawn) was impeccable. We were a large party of 6 and were seated right away. I had the haddock tacos and my wife said the haddock chowder was her favorite thing she ate in Gloucester. Highly recommended. Thanks for a great meal!

Waiting time: 0min, without reservation, dinner 5pm First dish: 7min The atmosphere here is so warm and welcoming — it truly feels like a family reunion. The portions are huge! If you’re a big eater, go for it solo, but otherwise it’s perfect to share. We tried the linguine with clam sauce, both red and white, and they were excellent. Plenty of clams! The white sauce had a noticeable lemony tang, which made it bright and refreshing. The calamari was great too — crispy, with small, tender squid pieces that still had the skin on. Would definitely come back again. Highly recommend if you’re looking for hearty portions and a cozy, homey vibe!

The food was outstanding I had the fried clams. They were plentiful. Service was excellent and atmosphere was nice. They gave a real good portion . My son had shrimp scampi and said it was delicious.

Bring your own booze! Good food and large portions. Recommend the soups and the causeway combo, large amount of scallops, shrimp and haddock. Bread and butter provided as well. Super chill environment and friendly service. Only compliant is lack of seasoning on the food, with cheese, pepper and salt available on the side. No spice options.

We ended at Causeway after a beautiful day here in Boston. I wanted the lazy man lobster pie and my husband got the scallop plate. So fresh and a lot of food. Always great food, atmosphere and service.

It was pur first time at The Causway. It was PACKED when we went on a Friday night and we were lucky to get bar seats. The restaurant is on the small size and is known for its LARGE portions. We found this to be TRUE. I ordered the grilled lemon pepper salmon with broccoli and asparagus. I've never been given such a HUGE piece of salmon. It was tasty but a bit on the oily side. It was VERY loud but the staff were always attentive. I would not say this is a good place for a date. They do have takeout and sitting at the bar area in front of the kitchen have us a really look on how they operate. Everyone is always moving at moderate to high speed. Overall, it was a good place to get a huge portion of food, but I probably wouldn't dine-in again because it was too loud and it was difficult to hear what my partner was saying. There is the option for take out, to consider.

Strong 4 from my side, propably would be better if id eat at the spot, but had to do pick up and ate after 10minutes. Food was still hot, fries were nice and crunchy but shrimps kinda tasted tasteless and were like a 'gum'. Tartar sauce was amazing.

price was good food was ok, but the staff, YIKES!! the host clearly hates his life, and it shows in his work, slamming the bussing tub down (actually made my mother jump bussing the table next to us) and slamming dishes in to the point he actually broke a wine glass and a bottle of ketchup went flying under the table next to it. Our server was very nice but it was incredibly busy I get it (we already knew what we wanted thankfully) we ordered when we sat down got our food quickly but never saw the server again until we were done and had to flag for the check. nice place but not really a make sure we go back when we go to Gloucester place...... Also side note that coleslaw was sooooo bland needs something for flavor for sure!!

Seaport Grille is a famous seafood restaurant right on the coast of downtown Gloucester, overlooking the ocean and docks. The staff were friendly, though it did take a bit to order food, the food came out quite quick beyond that. There was plenty of seating even at prime lunch hours, so we were able to be seated quite quickly. We got an assortment of foods, including their lobster roll. The lobster roll is priced at market value, which was around $30 when we got it. The lobster roll was a good size, with a good amount of lobster to eat. Personal preference is that we like ours hot, but this was served cold, but still pretty enjoyable. It just felt the bread overwhelmed the lobster at times, but was still delicious to eat. The clam chowder was good, consistency was on the watery side rather than thick but had a great flavor. The caesar salad plate was large, and tasted great and fresh. We also got a side of fries, which were like puffed up potato wedges, though we got too much and had to take it home. Overall, it was an enjoyable meal and well deserves its hype.

A 4 star restaurant with partial views of the harbor (if you look beyond the parking lot), outdoor/shaded seating available , good service and decent food. We ordered fried scallops, haddock tacos with flour tortillas and the bacon cheeseburger. The total bill without tip was $76 or about $25 per person. The scallops were delicious whereas the broccoli was saturated in butter. The Haddock tacos were great, and the cheeseburger was decent. The fries are more like slim wedged potatoes and were okay.

My husband and I went here for lunch because it came highly recommended on social media and it was decent! The oysters Rockefeller were my favorite part. We housed our food because we were pretty hungry after a long day of walking but the entrees were definitely a bit Boston market esque. Still tasty, comfort food but nothing extraordinary. We ordered the seafood trio and haddock dishes which came topped with a yummy breadcrumb mixture. They also are super generous with their wine pours :) The water views are nice if you get a window seat but we still enjoyed our booth. The staff is all very pleasant and our waitress was so kind and appropriately attentive. I would be curious to try a different spot next time but still very much enjoyed eating here and would recommend grabbing a reservation.

A tiny wait but that made me excited to give it a try. Packed in a Thursday!!!! Did not disappoint. The clam chowder was excellent as was the fried fish plate. Took my dessert to go but it looks delicious. Will visit again in my return trip to Gloucester.

I really wanted to like this place. I think I might be being a little generous with my stars…Great location, friendly staff. If you love giant portions this might be the place for you. Could not finish our dishes. I wish we’d have known we could have planed our order a little differently. I love ordering Calamari when I’m traveling. This was pretty good. The wedge salad was good, it could have need dressed with a third of the dressing. The tuna salad was enormous and I think they may have served me a whole cucumber.

Great location on the water. Was told it would be 20 minutes for a table. It took an hour. The lobster pie was good. The swordfish was not so good. The picatta sauce was blend and thin. The other entries were just average. Was hoping for something more.

Good food and service. We went for dinner and had the filet mignon and macaroni with pulled pork. Portions are big. For dessert we had the coconut cake which was delicious. Server was really nice. Plenty of parking.

Ordered the twin hot boiled lobsters with onion rings and coleslaw on a Saturday afternoon. The waitress taking our order was friendly and she hands you a buzzer to let you know when your order is ready to pick up. The food was ready within less than 5 minutes from the pick up window. The lobster was fresh and delicious. The onion fries were huge, light and crispy. As tasty as there we couldn't finish them. There was plenty of outdoor space in the front and back of the restaurant with amazing views of the water. They had live music after 4. Highly recommend this spot for great seafood.

I can not get over how incredible our meal was! My friends and I were away for a girls trip and we stayed in Gloucester and all over my TikTok showed this place was the best lobster roll in town! We will be forever dreaming about our meal that day! My friends each got a lobster roll and I got the Lobster corn chowder! It was so delicious! I can’t wait to make another trip and take my family here! Thank you so much for a great lunch!

Felt like summer, outside deck is now open and live music sets the tone for a great atmosphere. Good was fast and great, tasty, delicious. Can’t miss place when in Gloucester, plenty of seating, nice for the whole family or just to hang out with friends. Great service from every single person, friendly and cool about everything.

This place is awesome for hot summer days right on the water. The food is amazing and the portions are generous. They put close to a pound of lobster on a roll. The fish tacos are also very delicious. If you’re ever in Gloucester I recommend you go try them.

This place is so good! The lobster roll is massive and the lobster is delicious you’re getting multiple claws and giant pieces of the tale. It’s so good! My only critique would be maybe a slightly more durable bun we opted for a hot butter roll, and it did start to get quite mushy as we ate it. But other than that, it was phenomenal. It comes with french fries and you can order a beer there. When we went on the fourth they had live music, which was awesome. This place is worth a little bit of a drive if you’re around.

The food was good. Albeit very expensive here. You can sit on the seaside and watch the fishing trawlers come in and out. This was the area that they filmed the perfect storm.

The food was excellent — the lobster rolls were delicious. But the attitude of the staff completely ruined the experience. The waiter was extremely rude. We wanted to eat outside, and he abruptly said, “No.” Then we decided to take the food to go, and he rudely added, “But don’t you dare eat it on the restaurant’s property.” Excuse me, what? I just wanted to enjoy the nice weather and the view, not sit indoors. It’s a shame because the food was excellent, but the staff’s attitude made me never want to return.

We had a wonderful breakfast sitting on the outdoor terrace overlooking the Gloucester harbor. It couldn’t have been a more beautiful setting on a Friday late morning! We enjoyed the Fisherman’s breakfast which included a New England touch of baked beans, brown bread, grilled tomatoes, greens and eggs (your way). The Eggs Benedict platter was also so plentiful and plated attractively. The wait staff was attentive and cheerful. It was also interesting to see the artwork in the lobby and the unique gift shop that sells well-priced unique items.

Location & Atmosphere: absolutely perfect. 🌤️ We ate outside, and the weather couldn’t have been better — a little chilly with the sun shining just right. The restaurant’s deck overlooks the beach and offers the most refreshing ocean breeze. The staff was pleasant and welcoming, though I didn’t interact too much, so I can’t recommend anyone specific to sit with. The food, however, was pure chef’s kiss. 👨‍🍳✨ If you order anything here (even though it’s a bit on the pricey side), please make it the lobster roll. It was our first one ever, and wow — buttery, fresh, and prepared to perfection. The roll itself was soft, and the lobster melted in your mouth. Parking was free, which was a nice surprise, and after lunch, the beach walk made for the perfect way to end the meal — whether you’re on a romantic date or, like me, spending the afternoon with family. The only small miss: my dirty martini wasn’t quite as “dirty” as I prefer. The waitress actually mentioned it as she dropped it off and kindly offered to add more olive juice. The bleu cheese olives were delicious, so I didn’t fuss (and yes, I happily drank it). Next time, I’d love if the bar fixed it up before it came out — but that’s a tiny note in an otherwise perfect experience. Bottom line: this place is a must-try! 🌊🍸🦞

Yummy! I’ve been here twice and felt satisfied every time. The food is delicious, and they have beautiful outdoor seating with a view of the beach. I highly recommend it!

great view, great environment, amazing food. the food was so good I can’t even describe it and I’m a very picky person. But that was all overshadowed by the great service. Genuinely kind people, 10/10 service. If you’re visiting Gloucester this is a must because I said so, and you have to trust me. Best anniversary celebration.

This restaurant is a very special place for our family. We celebrate all of our important occasions. Warm atmosphere, the outstanding service, and food and the view - amazing! Highly recommended

This was our first visit, as we're planning to stay here for our wedding next fall and wanted to get a feel for the place. We had a wonderful evening!! AC was fantastic and really helped us with menu decisions. The food was incredible! We’re so excited to come back!

Beautiful restaurant on the water with outdoor seating. Amazing views with good eats can’t get any better. Highly recommend getting the burger and the caesar salad

Had a great meal and experience! We ordered the olives and half dozen oysters for starters. Had the ribeye and it was delicious! Cooked perfectly medium rare and so flavorful. Also the veal was very tasty too. Highly recommend and I will be going back for sure!

Owen was fantastic.. explained the nuances of the food and just great host.. Food was very good.. Loved that we were able to customize entrees! One of the best in town no doubt

We were greeted with a smile and upbeat attitude and we were asked if our table was to our satisfaction. Our waiter Ezio was very knowledgeable about the menu and fully explained all the dishes we were interested in. The Shrimp appetizer he recommended was amazing! The pasta was fresh and the sausage was delicious. The risotto was cheesy and delicate with fresh asparagus. Wish we had room for dessert. Cappuccino and expresso were spot on . Give it a try!

Tonno was great. We ordered the Caesar salad, mushroom risotto, and mussels for starters. Everything was flavorful and delicious. For mains we had the bolognese and Sunday sauce. The Sunday sauce was rich and the meatballs were perfect. The bolognese was much different than others I’ve had, unfortunately not one of my favorites. However the homemade pasta was very good. Our server was attentive and welcoming.

We attended a wedding there lastnight and it was pure magic ! I didn’t know they offered this but I am so happy they do! The moment we walked in it was magical. Every detail was perfect. The atmosphere, every detail on the table like the roses, glitter & candles everything was so special. The food of course was perfection! You have incredible and kind waitstaff. Our server was attentive and she made us feel special even with such a large group. If you are looking for an intimate and special place for a wedding this is your place ! Thank you for making my friend (the bride) feel so special and loved !

I didn't usually give 5 stars across the board but this place was fantastic!!!! Oysters were the freshest I've had recently, food was on point!!!! I got the tuna steak with an additional side of the white beans. I was so happy with my choice. I plan to return next time I'm in Gloucester. I can't remember our servers name but his recommendations and patience was much appreciated and worked out in the best possible ways. I was there with my 2 kids and niece and everybody left happy and satisfied. Server was tall with glasses and he was excellent!!!!!!

Remarkable service and food. The best seafood meal I’ve ever had. Came for $1 oysters from 4-5 pm and stayed for dinner. Tuna is bluefin from the harbor. Swordfish best ever. Great for GF diners. Sarah was one of the best servers we’ve ever had.

Big disappointment tonight. And first time in weeks they answered their phone. (3) “Crazy Burritos” with chicken. Picked up on time. Found sitting on counter. Not warm at all. Food is never warm, let alone hot. Mismanagement. Very little chicken. Hard to find. Usually never answer the phone. Tonight, my loss because they answered. Much better years ago. Bummer. Next time, Im driving to Beverly. La Victoria. Never disappointed there.

We are a family with small children and it was perfect for a casual dinner. The service was great and the food was delicious and both my kids ate everything! We had the steak tacos, chicken enchiladas, and the kids shared a full size chicken quesadilla. It later on got busy with locals which shows that it is popular! The only thing is parking is hard to come by so look around the side streets for one. Highly recommend!

#vegetarian food The food is filling and great for the price. The two of us ordered 3 dishes but we could not finish it. We ordered veggie tacos + crazy veggie burrito + veggie chimichanga. The ambience is simple and clean. There is ample parking on the road right in front of the restaurant.

This is mainly a takeaway place with a few seats. The food is very good, authentic and plentiful. We especially can recommend the chicken chimichangas. Nice and friendly people at the counter too.

Our party ordered multiple times in one sitting. This isn't indicative of the portion sizes (the portion sizes were huge), it's just that we were all hungry and the prices made us feel like we were stealing. You get a lot of food for what you pay. We got crazy burritos and chimichangas, all super filling. The pupusas and tacos were pretty good as well, but I would have liked more.The tortillas they use taste great. Definitely try one of the Tropique drinks from the fridge too. Guanábana was sweet and slightly thick. 8

This place was good. Sauces are spicy. Beans are not refried. There is 1 bathroom inside. 4 stars for service due to fact that we asked for no sour cream for one meal and pico on the side for another meal and they both came on it.

Vegetarian's review: A modest establishment with quite a steal prices for huge portions of authentic Mexican cuisines. We had Veg chimichanga, Crazy Burrito and one Veg tacos. There's just something about a good taco, you feel the harmony of raw ingredients mixed to proportions. I loved my wife's Chimichanga more than mine burrito. Chimichanga felt more like a pizza(I know weird comparison),but hear me out. The fried taco came with lime rice and beans. Inside the fried taco was a generous amount of cheese with sauteed bell pepper and onions. The taste felt like a home made pizza. But hey, maybe it's just me. The portions however are not to be underestimated. One feeds two. Loved the place!

Great restaurant with a gorgeous view of the Annisquam river. Fabulous service but limited menu focused on tuna and other seafood. We had seared scallops and roasted duck breast as entrees and topped it off with delicious tiramusu. The menu is somewhat eclectic and pricey, but the location charm compensates for that!

A waterside gem. Excellent service. Delicious shortlist of dishes and drinks. Joined the waitlist two days out and was given a table day-of planned visit.

Truly a fantastic restaurant that we are very fortunate to have in New England. Talise is everything we could hope for: family owned, supports the community, celebrates our fisherman and the seasons, and most importantly- continuously pushes out Michelin quality food that never gets old. Wish them nothing but the best and hope they can be a part of our community for a long time and an institution you just want to root for.

We can walk to this restaurant. We made a reservation and they did not have it in their "system". They sonehow found a table in the outside area with blankets available...ok we are with another couple..lets accept that. No apology offered. Entrees ordered...one was delivered wrong ...chicken instead of halibut...but our friend said ok. he will take it. I asked if the clam sauce was white or red...white..but it was not ...it was a red bisque with lots of broth left over and few clams. We still had a good time but for what Talise pretends to be they need to do better. We have more reliable options with better value in Gloucester.

Was able to get a reservation sort of last minute for my birthday and I’m so glad I was able to! This was probably one of the best meals I’ve ever had. I love how everything is farm to table and the menu changes daily, such a fun twist. I got the bucatini with lobster and it was unreal, with such a generous portion of fresh lobster. Yes, it is a little pricey but it’s not overpriced for the quality of food & amount that you’re getting. My only slight complaint is that it was a little dark at night and my mom couldn’t see that well, but that didn’t take away from the amazing dining experience we had. I will definitely come back the next time I’m in Gloucester!

It's a fancy new place, very expensive. The salad was good, but too pricey for what it was. The service was great, the view is nice, maybe even nicer at night. It is in a neighborhood though, so I cannot see anyone just discovering that place - it's pretty out of the way. I didn't know what half of the menu was, so definitely a gourmet-like place. The dessert menu looked good and they have a nice wine selection.

Snagged a reservation on opening day and was blown away! My mom and I were so impressed by the seafood centered plates, all very well portioned in my honest opinion. Two entrees & an app (and dessert!) was perfect for two. Crab bucatini had a ton of crab, not greasy at all. Halibut had an amazing parsnip purée that balanced the fish. Friendly service and location made it feel really special, away from the busy downtown areas. Do be aware that parking can get tricky; definitely carpool when you can. Since the menu changes frequently, just go knowing that there will be something you will LOVE on the Talise menu.

Food is excellent. Local sea food is as fresh as it gets. Special water views makes the entire experience a bit surreal. It does get crowded so orders can back up. Service is very friendly. Also serves the boating community with to go orders. Just a busy place but outstanding food. The atmosphere is very casual and part of the marina culture. Enjoy!

As a regular, I have experienced excellent meals for many years, today was like they were new kitchen staff and new owners that have never been in the restaurant business. My food runner brought out my order of bang bang shrimp, gave it to another table, they said it was not theirs, I said that’s mine and he obviously did not hear me! He brought it back to the kitchen. Then I watched him bring it out to a different table, and again bring it back to the kitchen! The third time when it came out, I said, “where did you go with my shrimp, you ran away?” As a server, his reply was “it wasn’t my fault”. Then, my Girl was craving a beautiful lobster roll, what she got was something other than that for $37. I don’t know what type of bread it was but the lobster was chopped up and looked like it came out of a can. It was supposed to be hot drawn butter on the lobster roll and it came out cold, no butter, about three strands of lettuce and an untoasted, whatever type of bun they put it on! This was not a lobster roll from the Northshore of Massachusetts that I have ever seen, and in Gloucester, you would expect nothing but the best! I got a protein bowl with grilled chicken and I must say it was very good, but the staff were not as friendly as they should be working on tips, but I never tip less than 20% regardless. They all could’ve used a lesson on greeting their customers with a smile and at least acting friendly being in the service industry. I expected much better from the place I have come to love, today was not love in return.. 😵‍💫

A popping restaurant! Busy and high energy. The view of the water & boats was so peaceful though. My sister & I got a variety of appetizers to share; the tuna poke, hummus plate, M1M pizza. The tuna poke was perfection, the hummus plate could’ve had more pita bread but it all tasted great, the M1M pizza said it had a spinach dip base and artichoke but I don’t think ours did unfortunately. Their specialty key lime mojito was absolutely delicious and I’m still thinking about it.

This was our lunch stop while driving along the Essex Scenic Byway (highly recommend). Lobster bruschetta was a creative, yummy dish. Can’t beat the views. We sat at the outside bar and the bartenders were super nice and took great care of us.

I used to love this place! Not sure when it went downhill. We drive here from Boston every summer as a tradition, but this will be the last year! We were sat pretty quickly, which I think was to our detriment. After being seated, we waited about 30 minutes before asking another waitress for help. We finally spoke to our waitress after she stopped by a regular’s table to say hi first, and ordered our food. Between our waitress and the manager on duty, an apology was never given for the wait, just excuses about the bridge being up (something that happens every day?). Felt weird, but they were down 24 people we heard, so tried to give them a break. Food was just okay, drinks that were described as coming with fresh fruit came out bare. The icing on the cake comes when the table next to us went to get their own drinks from the bar because they had been waiting for almost 40 minutes! This time, the manager didn’t even attempt an apology and flippantly told them they were between shifts right now. If you want a stress free lunch with great views, this probably isn’t the place. If you come for a drink at the bar, you’ll probably be okay. Just watch out for rusty salt shakers!!

Service from host to server was lovely as was the location. Sitting by the water watching the boats come and go was beautiful. Food was good but not as good as my last visit. Last time I got chowder and mussels and those were both excellent. This time we got salads and shared fries. Fries were limp and salads were okay. My daughter got the watermelon stack and I had a new crab meat salad. I feel like the watermelon could have had more or missing greens (mint?). The crab salad was good but I’m not a chef so not sure what it was missing. Was just lacking flavor and I added the lemon and dressing. It was all fresh but missing something 🧐

The marina is beautiful. The food was good - we got lobster rolls and lobster grilled cheese. They were great. Got a couple cocktails, also very good. Mine was pricey ($18), but I’ll say they made it strong. Respect. The calamari wasn’t bad, but I think the breading it is fried in is pretty bland.Easy to get to. Service was fantastic. Would definitely recommend.

Love this place! The service is always good, the food and drink are generally great (though they lost a star for the quality of a couple of take out meals which were below par - eating in has not failed us however), the location is terrific, and free live music os ALWAYS good!

Minglewood is definitely one of my favorite restaurants in Gloucester, with great staff, amazing food, and a unique atmosphere on the harbor. Their sushi is really good, and all the food is brought out super fast as well. My server Joe was incredible! I highly recommend Minglewood for a great harborside meal.

Such a positive experience the moment we entered! the more than pleasant host Lucy welcomed us in and found us the perfect booth. Edward and I couldn’t get enough of Shawna. She not only had like the best suggestions for things on the menu, but made sure we felt taken care of! We also met Caroline. She was super nice! Will be back!

We came at a relatively busy time, but only about half the tables were full. We were told 15 minute wait, but ended up waiting well over 45. Service was extremely slow and food was mediocre, but atmosphere was nice. You couldn’t actually access the dock from the restaurant to look at the water, which was disappointing. Food was also pretty expensive and they even took forever to bring the check.

8/16/25 Hands down best burgers in town! Could possibly be the best burger I've ever had. We had a Minglewood & smash burger which were absolutely phenomenal. Menu has tons of options & we can't wait to try more! Service is excellent. Sushi rolls were top grade We will definitely be back very soon. Fortunate to live so close to a top tier restaurant. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

We held our Wedding Afterparty in the Captains Room last Saturday 10/25 from 10:30 pm -12:30pm . They let us stay until about 1pm. Zach the GM helped us set up the event almost a year and a half in advance . Everything went great. The food was out when everyone arrived , multiple people complimented the food . Bartenders were super friendly and accommodating, they let my wife hook up her iPhone to the speakers so she could play her own music . Which was awesome . We had a little over 100 people at the event , there was plenty of tables and chairs , and still a ton of room for people to talk and dance near the bar . Will 100% host another event here .

We used Minglewood’s side room for our wedding after-party, and it was perfect! Communication with Zach was great—he was super easy to work with, very chill, and made sure everything ran smoothly. The sliders and sweet potato fries were a huge hit, our guests loved them! They even provided boxes so we could take leftovers home, which was such a thoughtful great for the next day! We were able to hook up to the aux cord and play our own music, which made the night feel even more personal and fun. Everything was wonderful! Thank you so much, Zach and the Minglewood team!

Boston Logan Airport was quite busy at security, but everything moved fairly smoothly. The terminal itself was impressively neat and clean, which made the overall experience pleasant. The waiting areas were comfortable and well-maintained, offering a relaxed vibe before boarding. There’s a small duty-free section—not huge, but enough for a quick browse. Overall, a solid airport experience with room for minor improvements in crowd management.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Boston Logan International Airport ✈️ is one of the most efficient and welcoming airports around! Even international arrivals 🌍 are a breeze — thanks to the MPC app 📱, you can zip through customs in minutes! 🙌 Departing is smooth too — security is quick ⏱️ and the atmosphere is surprisingly relaxing. 🎶 Don’t miss the beautiful Steinway Grand piano 🎹 in the waiting area — a classy touch that makes travel feel special! 💼✨

generally smooth and efficient travel experience, especially when it comes to domestic connectivity and overall airport accessibility. The airport is well-connected to the city, with various transportation options including taxis, ride-shares, the Silver Line, and shuttles — making arrival and departure quite convenient. However, one noticeable drawback is the distance between terminals, especially when traveling internationally. The international terminal (Terminal E) is quite far from the other terminals, and the current airport transportation system doesn’t make inter-terminal transfers as seamless as they should be. For travelers with tight layovers or connecting international flights, this can be quite stressful and time-consuming.

Not bad experience for taking a flight, the line wasn't long but it was so slow. The airpot was clean and cool. Not many food options at the American Airlines terminal B 1, but the computer work stations are great.

The airport is clean, well organized, and easy to navigate. Security and check-in lines move quickly, and staff are friendly and helpful. There are plenty of food options, comfortable seating areas, and charging stations throughout the terminals. Signs are clear, making it simple to find gates and baggage claim. Overall, a smooth and stress-free travel experience one of the better airports in the U.S.!

A real true landmark, over 100 years old. Boston Logan International Airport opened on September 8, 1923, as "Boston Airport" or "Jeffrey Field" and was initially used by the Massachusetts Air National Guard and the U.S. Army Air Corps. Commercial passenger service began in 1927, and the airport was officially renamed in honor of General Edward Lawrence Logan in 1943. The airport has since expanded significantly, becoming a major transatlantic hub and undergoing modernization projects, including the addition of a new runway in 2006.

Good: ✅ I appreciated having airside access to all terminals during a layover. ✅ Good selection of restaurants airside. ✅ Clean and convenient restrooms. ✅ Wide concourses move large amounts of passengers. ✅ Good looking airport—easy on the eyes. ✅ Good signage making navigation easy. Bad: ❌ Terminals are long and connected end-to-end. There are no shortcuts or trains, so moving around can be a good workout. This rating based on a single, layover visit. I did not experience the landside or any security checkpoint.

Took the bus from downtown to the airport. It was fantastic. Took about 40 - 50 mins. The driver was polite and helpful. Bus drops you right in front of the airport. 1-2 min later, I’m upstairs at the tsa gate. Breezed through at w/in 5-29 min. As of this review, didn’t need to take out or off anything (electronics nor shoes). Just placed bags in bins and away we go. Women’s bathroom was bright, clean, welcoming with modern conveniences - - natural lights - fresh flowers - deep sink with built in efficient air hand dryer - no need for paper - automated toilet seat covers and flushes - tall stall doors with occupied / available indicators. Now, if they can just get the water temperature cooler. Not sure why airport bathroom faucet temps tend to be on the too hot (borderline burning) temps.

Security was very quick. Bathrooms were very clean and spacious. Half the airport is under construction and there are no bathrooms open at one end of the terminal. Baggage claim was quick.

Small airport with much cheaper flights than Boston. Offers many destinations and is clean. Many flights of mine have gone out of here and with recent renovations, this airport has an even greater future.

I don’t think I’ve ever felt compelled to write a review for an airport before, but I’m genuinely impressed with how TF Green has evolved. It’s become such a welcoming, elegant, and modern airport. I know it’s not the biggest airport — and honestly, I kind of appreciate that — but what really stands out is the calm, relaxed, and professional energy it now has. Maybe it’s because I’ve flown in the middle of the week and not during peak hours, but the last few times I’ve traveled through here, the atmosphere has been consistently smooth and pleasant. It’s a huge change from the past when it used to feel tense and chaotic. Even TSA and airport staff have noticeably shifted their tone and energy. Everyone seems friendlier, calmer, and genuinely focused on good service. I don’t feel rushed or stressed — and that alone makes a big difference. The terminals look great, the bathrooms are clean and sophisticated, and the overall layout feels much more efficient. Whatever changes were made — they worked. I can see why TF Green was recently voted one of the best airports. After flying through several times since August, I completely agree. Great job, TF Green team 👏✈️

Although parts are under construction, we enjoyed the cafe in the baggage claim area and the military lounge before checking in for our flight. Restrooms are top notch—newly renovated—and security checkpoint was quick and easy.

I usually wouldn't review an airport but this airport was extraordinarily clean and nice. The restrooms were spotless. No dirty, no messes, no trash. The stalls went nearly all the way to the ground and had nice looking wood veneer. The crown jewel however was the toilet if you can believe it. The motion sensor activates a plastic sleeve which wraps around the entire toilet seat in a circle for new coverage for every user. There are even videos on YouTube showing it in action. Never felt so clean, safe, and relaxed in a public restroom. After this experience and the overall cleanliness of Providence it's clear we live in a dump here in SoCal. Embarrassing.

The most helpful info desk staff I’ve encountered! I was in a rush and pretty confused about the public transportation system - the two gentlemen helped me to figure out the routes etc. Also it’s always great to have some live music in life :)
