Terrific public beach, large with tons of parking. The beach is kept very clean, and at least so far this year the green-heads have been minimal. The water can be chilly but hey, it’s nearly New Hampshire so that’s expected. Services are minimal (restrooms with pit toilets) but otherwise I highly recommend this beach.

Absolutely my favorite beache to go to in Massachusetts. The surf is good. The water is clean and the beach is big and plentiful. There's plenty to do at the pier and tons of food spots! The arcade is so much fun and the people in there are so nice. We always have to stop at Tripoli because their pizza is the best!

Our first time visiting. Clean, lovely beach. Nice restrooms, lifeguards and soft white sand. Even an ice cream truck. Lots of kites and families. We will be back next year.

Beautiful beach with a simple but fun boardwalk. We opted for Salisbury Beach bc there was an event at Hampton and we wanted to avoid the crowd. It was the weekend after Labor Day. Everything was still open but there are no lifeguards after Labor Day. The beach has large waves and is on a slight hill. My only complaint is the event center on the beach is pretty ugly from the beach. I have eaten dinner there and it’s beautiful on the inside but the building is a sore sight for those on the beach

Such a beautiful area. Great to walk, enjoy nature, catch the sunset, and even camp if you want to.

One of the best beach locations near Boston. Plenty of parking for about $10 daily. A lot of space for beachgoers. Lifeguards are on duty. Public restroom with family room. Public play area. Nearby food stands were also really good.

We drove up to see fireworks on the beach, it was lovely! There is a fun area with food and games near the beach and the sand was soft. Would love to go back and explore more!

Great venue, easy parking and seating up near the stage at a reasonable cost. ($65 a seat) Saw John Cafferty and the beaver brown band. Good time! I've also seen the Meatloaf and Queen tribute shows there. The Latin is perfect and never too crowded.

It's a great venue with beautiful views of the ocean and the fireworks during the summer. They have good food, tasty drinks, and plenty of space for sitting or standing. I personally love being on the dance floor, nice and close to the stage! Always look forward to returning!

My wife and I have enjoyed many shows at this venue Dark Desert Eagles,Vintage Skynard, Hollywood Nights Blue Moon Fever and many others we've really enjoyed on October 24th we saw a Bob Seger Beautiful Loser they were okay not great Hollywood Nights was better very Disappointed in Silver Springs a Fleetwood Mac tribute band they were awful very Nasel voice we left about 25 minutes into there set and we also saw about 25 or 30 people leave before us and on are way out more people were leaving comparing them to bad Karoke singers and other comments that were not flattering I see there coming back in December buyer beware not worth the money sorry for being critical I've seen so many good shows there at least a dozen bring back Blue Moon Fever Tom Petty group and Springsteen usa both rocked the hell out of the building thanks for all the great shows and we will continue to enjoy your venue the silver springs was below standards in my opinion keep rocking and rolling good day to all

I wore a blazer wow was i overdressed 😏.. It's cramped.. glad half my table was empty .. Plastic cups..server was excellent tho..I took a nice walk on the beach after too..

Awesome venue for shows. We have seen the comedian Bob Marley, and most recently Leonid & Friends. Great acoustics, easy parking, and the staff is always helpful. Being on the ocean and close to some good restaurants is a plus! Cool venue!

The night I went was set up with folding chairs stadium style. Wonderful place to see a show!

I went here last weekend for a comedy show. Our seats were perfect! It is very clean here. I loved being here. The ocean is right there. They had this drink in a little bucket. It was soooo good!

Hodgie’s Ice Cream at 71 Haverhill Rd in Amesbury, MA has been a family staple forever. Careful when you go to order by the number of scoops! They have HUGE servings! I love their wide selection of tasty treats and other menu items too. The flavor of the ice cream is very good, and the fudge and cream too, but to me it is grainy, not smooth and creamy. I wonder if it had been thawed and refrozen too many times? Not sure, but it’s definitely grainy compared to other places. It doesn’t stop me from going, but it keeps me from giving it a top score. The hubs liked his coconut chip. You can tell by the consistent line out front that people love Hodgie’s! There is also seating out back to the left, under the trees. Important to know, there are no public bathrooms there, so plan ahead!

I've gone to Hodges quite a few times over my life and the ice cream and food has always been excellent. Ice cream portions are generous. I only wish that they were open year round. They're closing October 14th for the end of their 2025 season

My Go-To, all time favorite place ever.. Ice-cream is amazing & their food is worth trying if you haven't yet. So many menu options to choose from I find myself still trying new things & the options are endless. Customer Service is ALWAYS 💯.

On vacation in Amesbury and found this place using Google Maps. It is incredible. We got the Hoddie Cup and it was just enough. If there is a flavor you want and they don’t have it, you don’t need it. I had coconut chip and my spouse had Kahlúa Chip. Both were awesome.

This is a fun place to go for local ice-cream! Many flavors to select from and addition specialty flavors of frozen yogurt, soft serve and sorbet. Portions a very generous and it can be overwhelming to try to eat a small size but really fun!!!!! A definite place to try in the Newburyport, Salisbury or Amesbury area....

Asked a server at a dubkin on our way home from Hampton beach for local ice cream & she sent us here...and we're so happy she did. Their size to price is amazing. You get so much ice cream. Our server, was super great. He asked me right away if knew what their sizes were as I ordered a kiddie for our 9 yr old & im thankful he did, because it would have been HUGE. My boyfriend & I shared a kiddie sundae while the 9 yr got a scoop...more like 2 haha loved it. Would 1000% go back if we're ever in the area again.

Stopped for dessert and had the most pleasant customer experience. Dominic took my order and talked to me about his time there. Very polite and friendly. I walked away feeling like I had known him for years.

Beautiful place. Very quite,we didn't see a lot of animals but the trails a really nice,landscape is very pretty

Great birding location..... There are many species of birds including hawks, osprey, owls, herons, egrets.ect that are there year round as well as seasonally. Beaches here are closed through most of the summer to allow piping plovers to safely nest. I can't recommend this place more if you're a birder.

- I did the hellcat trail (boardwalk trail loop) and the stage island trail. The hellcat trail is a 1.3 mi boardwalk loop and the stage island trail loops around the top of the island - $5 park entrance fee - Bathrooms located throughout the park - Plenty of parking - Lots of bugs in some areas and the beaches are closed for parts of the year to preserve birds during their nesting season - Wheelchair friendly

Great place to walk and go bird watching year round. Wonderfully kept, gorgeous sunrises and sunsets. Bathrooms are open. They accept National parks Annual Passes for entry. Nominal fee if you don't have one - around $5.00 if I remember correctly.

A gem. The majority of the beach is closed for piping plover season, but visit any time and it's great. Go in the offseason and enjoy the whole thing. It's wonderful.

An amazing place! Awesome they accept National Parks Annual Pass! Because we visited 2-3 times each day for the 2.5 days we were visiting the area. Caught two incredible sunsets, tried for a sunrise but the gate wasn’t open yet so we went nearby on the beach but it was all fog anyway haha. The boardwalk was amazing. Just an absolutely gorgeous area. Lots of wildlife as well!

So beautiful walking this area of the beach. Sea snails, sand dollars, and the sound of coyotes as the sun dips behind the skyline. Absolutely breathtaking seeing nature in this undisturbed form.

Lobster is my favorite food (I’ve eaten many over the years) and this was absolutely the best lobster I’ve ever had!! I ordered a whole 1 1/2 pound lobster. It was a bit on the small side but the taste and juiciness was exceptional! I didn’t even add any butter or lemon because it was so delicious. The shell was so soft and easy to crack. I grew up in Boston but have lived in France for 30+ years. Every time I travel back to Massachusetts to visit my father we go out for a few lobster meals. This was definitely a happy surprise and very memorable. I hope to come back!

It was my first time ever trying both lobster and fried clams. I was so excited to try a lobster roll, and seeing that I could get a "Fat Lobster" and get the best of both worlds, plus onion rings and coleslaw, my mind was made up! I was prepared to wait, knowing how esteemed this place is and how busy it can get. I arrived around five or six in the early evening on a Tuesday and it was not busy at all, so I got my food pretty quickly after I ordered! I enjoyed it outside, although there is also indoor seating, but it was a gorgeous day out. The "Fat Lobster" is a lobster roll with coleslaw topped with fried clams and onion rings that comes with a bit more coleslaw on the side. This sandwich was mindblowing! The lobster was so FRESH, perfectly dressed, and the fried clams were tender inside of the crispy breading. The onion rings were on the soggier side, but I didn't mind the texture considering how crispy the fried clams were. The prices were also amazing! I only paid around $50 with tip included for all this food! But if I lived around this area, I would be in trouble because I would want this at least three times a week! It was so delicious! I will dream about this lobster when I return to the suburbs away from the coast.

We had our first lobster and lobster roll in Massachusetts and it was delicious. It was a little dive kinda carry out, nothing fancy, but the food was good and counter service was just fine. We would definitely visit again when back up north.

Excellent lobster rolls, fried clams, fried oysters, fish and chips- clam chowder is good too. We sat outside and watched the storm roll over the water. The view is stunning.

Delicious fresh scallops!! Great service, great view. Sooo many scallops! I feel like there were over 30 fat, juicy, delicious scallops in here!!! This picture is taken after I ate about 5 already. I couldn’t wait! They were soooo good!!!

Amazing food that is very busy place. Plan on waiting since it is a hot spot for all the locals and us Nebraska visitors stumbled across some great lobster rolls and onion rings. Recommend the avocado lobster roll!!

Good lobster rolls, but definitely pricey especially considering the lobster meat comes from bags and isn't freshly picked. Wouldn't go out of our way to come here again, but would consider it if in the neighborhood.

My Wife and I went to the Capri Seaside Italian Kitchen for a date night. Our waitress Stacey was very friendly and accommodating. We started with a beverage, My wife had a Ruby Red Cosmo and I was driving soooo ginger ale. Stacey told us to relax, enjoy our drinks and take our time ordering. We took her advice and started with the white mussels. They came out excellent!! No grit all shells open with a fat mussel in each one! Nice light lemon garlic white wine sauce with crostinni on top. Also coming before the meal was a small basket of fresh bread w sun dried tomato dip..yummy!! For our main courses my wife had shrimp scampi w linguine. 6 huge well seasoned butterfly shrimp in a delicious garlic shallot lemon wine sauce. I had the veal francaise with a lemon white wine butter cream sauce over lemon parmesan risotto. It came with sauted broccolini. Both meals were excellently prepared. We were impressed with the quality of the ingredients, service and most importantly taste. Shrimp were tender. Risotto was creamy and smooth. My wife finished her meal.Stacey jokingly asked if she wanted a box for the 6 strands on linguine. I took home a nice piece of veal and some risotto. Saved room for dessert. They have a nice variety of cakes and Italian pastries. We chose a piece of tuxedo cake. It was a chocolate cake with milk chocolate frosting and some white thin lines of frosting in the layers, paired that with a nice cup of coffee. Dining experience was a little over 2 hours. Nice and relaxed. Bill came to $112 w25%tip so $140 soup to nuts Would highly recommend this restaurant and staff. They are Open Weds though Saturday4 to 9pm. Sunday 4 to 8 pm

Sat at the bar and had a very tasty dinner. The bread and sauce they gave us first was outstanding! Chicken parm was really good and my husband enjoyed his chicken piccata. I wanted to try the risotto, so got that instead of pasta with my meal; unfortunately, it was bland so I would not recommend it. The lemon chiffon cake was a perfect finish. Will definitely go again.

This restaurant was an unexpected delight. We were going to the Blue Ocean Music Hall for a performance that night and we made reservations for dinner at the restaurant which is right across the parking lot. Our performance was at 8 pm and we got reservations for 5:30 pm. The dining room was spacious and bright. That said, our meal was outstanding which included signature cocktails, appetizers, garden dinner salad, entrees and a homemade bread service that included and amazing cheesy marinara EVO concoction. My signature cocktail was the Berries and Cream Whoopie which had a mini lemon Whoopie pie garnish on the rim and very much tasted like dessert. We ordered the Burrata Caprese and Antipasto as appetizers and both were excellent. The Antipasto came with a perfect selection of cheese and meats and accompaniment which included fig jam and olives. My entree was the Shrimp Scampi with Angel Hair Pasta which was cooked perfectly. The three of us were too full to try the desserts on display when you walk in but they look delicious as well. Our server, Emily was amazing and provided great descriptions and recommendations for our dining experience. This restaurant would be a great choice at any time and you need to go to the music hall to give it a try. I highly recommend it.

Capri Seaside Italian Grille remains my go to spot for great Italian food along the seacoast. The chicken parmigiana is always delicious, crispy, flavorful, and perfectly portioned. I often pair it with a side meatball and plain bread, which they are always happy to provide. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, great for couples or family dinners, and the service is consistently friendly and quick without feeling rushed. In our recent visit, after being away for a while, the taste and quality of the food were exactly as we remembered, excellent. Takeout service was fast, easy, and just as good as dining in. The parking situation can still be difficult during the summer since the lot is not always monitored and people use it for other nearby businesses, but that is a small drawback compared to the consistently great food and service year round. When I am in the mood for Italian, this is always the place I choose.

BEWARE ordering takeout. They try cutting corners and will purposely get your order wrong if you ask for substitutions. They forgot my bread as well as my side of sauce. I ordered two veal parms with sauce on side since I had a drive and did not want my food soggy. When I checked the bag there was no sauce to be found so I asked for two sides of sauce. I was giving two cups filled 1/3 of the way. My bread that I paid for was also forgotten and when I asked for some i was given three ripped up pieces. My veal is also burnt. I don’t know if they were angry about the substitutions or just too busy but if that is the case do not offer takeout. I order here often and won’t be back

They were on the busy side. We did have a reservation. Service was very slow. There were 3 in our party. Bolognese was delicious. Chicken parm was okay. Chicken on the chicken scampi was good. The scampi sauce was not good to me, not enough garlic and butter it was very heavy on the lemon. Cocktails were great and their desserts looked fabulous

Arrived for our reservation 5 minutes early and was promptly seated at a high top table right by the door. The waitress eventually showed up dropped the menus and left. She seemed rushed and didn’t explain any of the specials. The waitress returned and took our drink and meal order. The drinks showed up and we waited for our meals. Meanwhile another table was set up next to us, a couple was seated and promptly their waiter took their order they received drinks and bread. We were still waiting for our meals and never got any bread. Our food eventually showed up and we asked for some bread that showed up after we had our food dropped off. My wife ordered the prime rib and baked stuffed shrimp with a baked potato. Everything on her meal was excellent, perfectly cooked tasted delicious. I ordered the chicken parm with angel hair. It was ok at best, the chicken was awesome, most and tasty, perfectly cooked. The pasta was slightly overcooked but the issue was the sauce. It tasted like it came out of a can, literally a metallic taste. The waitress never came back to ask about our meals and I’m very disappointed with the sauce that did a disservice to the dish. Chicken parm is a basic staple and is hard to screw up but it is possible. In this case it did. This is the second time in a row I go to this restaurant and the meal or service are subpar. I’m not sure if I’m gonna drop another $175.00 on a subpar restaurant for a meal or service that is meh at best. Extra disappointing because the prior 8 times I have gone here and it was excellent. Not sure what has changed but it’s a gamble at best if you’re going to get a good meal and good service at the same time.

We had five appetizers and a main course. Of the appetizers, the beef bao bun and the shrimp and pork dumpling were our favorites, the shrimp in a fried skin was also good. The golden bags and the fresh rolls were disappointing, they would have been better with shrimp instead of chicken. I had a duck noodle soup which was very good but too much after all of the appetizers, next time just two appetizers. The service leaves much to be desired. There was no attempt at pacing, all of the appetizers came out at once and then they tried to bring out our main courses before we had even started the appetizers. The tables are tiny so there was no chance that everything could fit at the same time. They did remake our main courses when we were ready instead of serving us cold dishes so they did fix their mistake but it would have been better if they just paced the dishes.

This gem of a restaurant has been open for a year, but this was our first visit. We love The Tannery Marketplace setting and the welcoming reel of this district at night. Located right on Water Street, the lights and warm decor welcomed and we decided to give it a try. The decor is full of nooks and cozy touches in a glamorous speakeasy style decor. We were tucked into a corner, surrounded by pillows, with a view of the bar and dining room. Our server was friendly and professional and welcomed us to the restaurant as well as made suggestions every step of the way, ensuring a wonderful visit. We started with the Thai Lettuce Wraps which was a spicy herb chicken salad that we scooped into the stack of lettuce leaves. A very warming starting on a cool evening. We followed that with Kha - Nom - Jeep, round steamed pork and shrimp dumplings, served with a ginger sauce. Very flavorful. We then enjoyed bowls of Spicy Ramen with Chashu (homemade pork belly) and Guay Teow with Beef and Rice Noodles, all based on our server's recommendations. Both were incredibly tasty and the perfect layer of flavor combos. An incredible meal in an elegant, but relaxed setting, where a week night dinner out felt special. We both said that this place would be especially lovely and cozy on a snowy, winter night, looking out the windows onto the Tannery lights. I highly recommend this place and we look forward to returning on our next visit to Newburyport. This is a perfect romantic date night restaurant, but also a nice setting for small groups. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5 stars

Love visiting The Joy Nest! Love the vibe & food. It's not cheap but the food is great, never had a bad dish

What a gorgeous place. Super well decorated and curated. It's cozy, inviting, colorful, restful yet fun. Service was friendly and well paced. But don't go fornthe food. Mango salad was terrible, salmon had been boiled w no seasoning to the point of being inedible. Noodle soup was tasteless and chicken in there chewy and flavorless. Neither of us could finish our dishes. Maybe they do great cocktails? The space is great but the food horrible.

The Kha-Nom-Jeep at Joy Nest in Newburyport is a must for dumpling lovers—perfectly steamed pork and shrimp wrapped in delicate skins, topped with scallions, and served with gingery dipping sauce. Pair it with a zero-proof Orchard Oriole for a sweet-spiced finish! 🥟🍹 #joynest #newburyporteats

Stopped in on the Friday afternoon of memorial weekend and was pleasantly surprised that it wasn't too busy. Was quickly seated on the comfy couches. The decor in the dining room immediately catches you eye with the bright colors, wood paneling pared with the exposed brick. Service was quick and the server was happy to jump in with recs if needed. They are known for their gin cocktails and man they don't disappoint. Went for the tapas. The pork skewers are to die for followed by the beef strip. Both were cooked to perfection. Just the right abt of char and meat so tender and flavorful. The shrimp and pork dumplings with them were immaculate as well. Veggie rolls were not memorable. Would definitely come back

First time at The Joy Nest and we will definitely be coming back! Truly excellent dining experience! Joy Nest has great food, great service, and great vibes. The decor is adorable and makes you feel so cozy. The cocktails were all delicious and well balanced. And the food was superb - very flavorful and great portions for the price. We got the Golden Bags and pork skewer tapas appetizers which both hit the spot. Then our party got the beef and broccoli, minced chicken, crispy Basil duck, and spicy ramen entrees. Everyone loved their meals. There was jazz music upstairs, we didn’t get the chance to see it but we could hear it and it sounded it lovely!

The Tuscan sea grill has a beautiful location, especially the glass enclosed porch. It was rather noisy, and hard to hear the person talking across the table. The clam chowder was outstanding, rich and flavorful. Unfortunately, from there it went down hill. The fried calamari were okay, not the best and the worst. And then came the big disappointment of lobster flat bread. The dough was undercooked and soggy, the lobster dry and overcooked, the corn did not go with it in flavor. We both looked forward to trying out, and ordered one each. Without discussing it, we picked out the lobster meat and left the rest with the exception of the initial bite. Leaving most of the food on the plate is not something we do, but really that was the only option. It was that bad. The service was attentive, the location was beautiful, but the food was a disappointment.

Our second time in this place and it was so disappointing to learn that they’ve changed so much in a year or so. The changes for worse starts from the menu available choices to the quality of the food and service. The best wines we ordered they’re never available. The service didn’t deserve full tips. It’s was inattentive and careless. With so many other nice places around the corner you should consider visiting other restaurants when you around here just as we will. Not to forget, they’ve pushed us out very badly. We’re sitting in an 12+ tables area with two tables taken, around 10pm in the evening and still, we’re giving the bill without any ask. That’s rude!

Overall a great meal and good options. We did have a reservation so we’re seated quickly. It was a busy Saturday night but got our food in a timely manner.

My wife and I came here for our first anniversary and it was amazing. I made reservations and asked for a table with a view of the water, from past experiences at other restaurants I wasn’t expecting to get that.. but we did! They gave us a table with such a nice view it was really so nice. The staff was so friendly and knowledgeable. I wish I remembered our servers name, she was awesome and helped us decide on our drinks. The food was beyond delicious. We got the calamari to start. The calamari with the red pepper and some of that sauce was just delicious. Then my wife got the grilled swordfish and I got the fish tacos. Her swordfish was honestly the best swordfish I’ve ever had! The fish tacos were also exceptional. I got the gin mixed drink and she got the sangria, both were fabulous in presentation and taste. All in all it was an amazing experience. We truly felt like they cared about their customers and their products and I think that makes all the difference. We weren’t alone in that feeling either, we happened to be seated next to a couple that was celebrating their 27th anniversary, when we found that out we got excited and chatted and our server even took pictures for us. Everyone was having such a good time it was refreshing. I highly recommend this place if you’re looking for a special night out. Only downside is the parking. We circled the lot for like 20-30 minutes before finding a spot so plan to get there early. Other than that it was truly fantastic. Thank you to the staff for giving us such a special night. We will definitely be back!

It was an amazing experience. Beautiful scenery. Our waitress Lauren was amazing. She made sure our food was served just right and even added in a complimentary gelato for my birthday. I definitely recommend this place.

Don't be scared away by the 3/5 stars. It's worth reading through this review first, as you may go yourself and get that 5-star experience... We decided to come here on one of the nice rainy Saturdays we're sooo fortunate to have this season. I picked this one in Newburyport because it was my Fiancee birthday and i wanted her to have a little fancier of a lunch than normal. The restaurant was beautiful inside and had a really warm space on the deck with all the fireplaces. The service was top-notch and attentive right away. We started off with an incredible clam chowder. It was both rich and creamy as well as full of flavor and chunks of clams. After that, like other reviews here, it went a little sideways with the food. My fiancee had the fish tacos, which were surprisingly spicy. I had the Lobster Raviolo, and while, it had really nice chunks of lobster for the priced dish. It was a weird dish, to say the least. It was not what you'd expect for vodka sauce. It was a gritty and odd combination of flavors with corn and seemingly fake fishy filling in a giant raviolo. In my mind, I had hoped this place would've offered more for the Italian in me, but it didn't. Now I'm going to go off on a limb and say maybe it was just that dish and other food here is as good as the chowder. Try it for yourself first before writing this one off. Who knows, we may find ourselves back just for the chowder.

Definitely come here when you’re in Newburyport! Allyson was our server and she was friendly, personable and went above and beyond for us! They didn’t have honey mustard but that wasn’t a problem for Allyson. She took it upon herself to make some fresh honey mustard for me and it was delicious! Our food came out at just the right time and the presentation was amazing. She checked on us just the right amount of times where we could enjoy our meals and the view! We will definitely be coming back ◡̈ thank you Tuscan Sea Grille and Bar!

I’ve never had a bad meal here. My favorite is the cheese raviolis with meat sauce. However the last time we were here our waitress was not great! She took forever to bring out waters after we had already got the bread, I actually had to ask because I was so thirsty then she finally brought it out, ridiculous! While I was waiting for her to bring our water out I literally watched another table ask for water too and she brought it right out to them… before us… the table that was practically dying of thirst because we’ve already been eating bread she brought us for 15 minutes with no water. The creme brulee was delicious but the disappointing part was that it was probably the smallest portion i’ve ever seen served at a restaurant!

Wow. I've driven by this place so many times & finally stopped by. I wish I had stopped by sooner. What a wonderful experience. The atmosphere & music brought out my Italian roots. Our waitress & hostess was so kind, knowledgeable, & attentive. The food was authentic, homemade, & absolutely delicious. I recommend stopping by, you will not be disappointed. Enjoy. Our compliments to the chefs, and thank you all for your service 🫶😋

What a find! After a stressful day running errands in Newburyport, I wandered into Giuseppe’s for the first time and instantly felt better. A super friendly staff member welcomed me, gave me the lay of the land, and showed me their incredible market full Italian specialties including fresh pastas, sauces, heat and serve meals, deli meats, salads, cheeses, desserts, and wine. Seriously—it’s foodie heaven. I was torn on what to try from the take- out menu, but another staff member came to the rescue and recommended a pressed chicken arugula panini with apple, gorgonzola, and fig jam. While the food was being prepared, I shopped around and bought a little of this and a little of that. The staff were pleased that I enjoyed my time there. When I got home and bit into the sandwich....WOW!! Hands down one of the best sandwiches I’ve ever had. And my family couldn’t have been happier with all the goodies I brought home! Giuseppe’s turned my stressful day into an amazing one. I can’t wait to go back and try even more next time!

About 18 friends and I enjoyed a delicious meal Friday night at Giuseppe's in Newburyport. Not only was the food absolutely delicious, but a huge thank you to our waitress Erin, who was amazing! Requests were coming in from all directions and she performed her tasks efficiently and with a beautiful smile throughout it all! Our meals came out at the same time from the kitchen streaming hot and all were scrumptious! Highly recommended from beginning to end!! Joan

Manager is amazing and really cares about his customers and the business. Very clean space and friendly staff. The lobster ravioli is the best I have ever had, seriously. I wish I had taken photos because it is just fantastic. First time there but definitely will be back

8 of us went to lunch at Giuseppes today. Cute Italian Restaurant and Market. They start out with bread and butter table service. We tried a wide range of Entrees. The Meat Lasagna Half Portion was Perfect! I actually brought half home it was big. Great Meat sauce!! Also tried the veal parm and eggplant parm. Very good. Tasted hery homemade

Great food. Plenty of vegetarian options. Their homemade pastas are amazing and they just melt in mouth. All the dishes that we ordered were delicious. The portion size was good as well. The service provided by Cindy was great.

Rib eye was amazing. I usually get the sushi because it is delicious and fresh but I decided to try something new and was not disappointed at all! They cooked it exactly to my liking (medium rare). Server was great for the most part. We let them know it was my friend’s birthday we were celebrating tonight. Waiter struggled to bring us our refills, they went missing a lot through out our dinner and made our visit almost over 2 hours. Not sure if he had too many tables or what. It was a Monday night and wasn’t that busy. He asked if we wanted dessert and we said no because we had plans to go back home and have dessert. Waiter acknowledged what we said and said he would bring us the check but he proceeded to bring a slice of cake with a candle in it. At first we thought this was a really nice gesture. We ended up eating it because we didn’t want it to go to waste and it was delicious. After 30 minutes we finally got our check and we notice the slice of cake was on the tab. It’s honestly ridiculous that he brought over something we did not ask for and proceed to charge us for it. We thought he was just trying to be nice. Not sure what kind of mistake this was but we didn’t even want to argue over it because we ate it and at this point we wanted to just get out of there as we had dessert plans with family at home.

Cute place, I like the decor and the atmosphere. The tables are a bit close together. I wish there was music or something but granted it was Labor Day. The drinks were great, very well made. We had the calamari for the table and it was really good, lightly battered and tasty sauce ( not spicy). I had the Caesar salad and it was not that good, pretty dry and didn’t have much dressing. The chicken was dry as well. Friends had the burger and salmon and they looked great. I would give them another try with an Entées next time. I had the mango Mojito and it was great. The sushi that my fiend had looked good too.

We came for lunch on a beautiful October day and sat on their street side patio. The server was attentive and friendly. We started with a crab and artichoke dip ($20) which was creamy and delicious. I’m not really an artichoke person, but I enjoyed this preparation. I also had a half beet salad ($10) and a chimichurri chicken sandwich ($20). The beet salad had four slices of beets in it, so it really should have been called an arugula salad. Also, I’m not sure where the chimichurri was on the chicken. It was covered in sort of a chipotle sauce, still good, but not what I was expecting We had a good meal and would return.

Went for dinner and enjoyed our meal. Decided to go back for lunch and the sushi was great. As well as plenty of gluten free options.

BLACK TEETH after eating here. My mother and I had the new scampi dish and my mother and I both ended up with black teeth! We were literally able to wipe it off after seeing it in the bathroom mirror. We spoke to the manager who spoke to the head chef who denied any responsibility and showed NO concern (despite me informing him that I had food allergies and undisclosed ingredients pose an extra risk to me.) I would not eat here because, in addition to this experience, my wine glass was filthy and the food was not good.

Oh gosh, another fab. and special meal for a birthday girl in July. Again as an app, we shared the two crab cakes. Again, OTW(out of this world.) The Fusilli Gambretto was generous, the smoked andouille made the sauce sing. The Vegetable Agnolotti was OK. Earlier in February and 60 deg. weather drew us into the Black Cow for lunch. Nice warm and inviting place and decor. We enjoyed the Blue and Bacon salads. A cup of clam chowder was good, from a base but with added cream and spice. The sautéed crab cake was exo, lotsa crab. Waitstaff gal was pleasant. With two wines and two Stella’s, just under a hundred bucks less tip. Bathrooms, clean as a whistle. Another lunch in October at BC with friends in a booth and our server was ‘Emma.’ The ‘Chowder Bowl’ was generous, rich, creamy. I can never resist their lump crab cakes and again, oh so good. A small side of ‘Texas salad’ was also good. The ‘Roast Mushroom’ was on a grilled panini with a small ramekin of sliced fried potatoes that everybody delved into. ‘Rodney Strong ‘Chardonnay’ complimented the meal. The finale that we shared, a 7-layer slice of ‘Chocolate Cake’ with a dollop of whipped cream on a bed of drizzled chocolate. Nirvana. We sure love Black Cow.

Just a short 50-minute drive away, Newburyport is our favorite spot for a weekend getaway. After a relaxing walk by the riverside, we love how easy it is to access Black Cow from the main parking lot. We’ve enjoyed dinner here many times, and this Sunday night was no exception. The atmosphere in the main dining area was perfect, blending views of the sunset and street lights. The staff is always friendly and eager to help. The food never disappoints, with our go-to favorites being the signature burger, poke salad bowl, and sushi rolls.

Had the most beautiful day out with Newburyport Whale Watch yesterday. We got to see humpbacks, a shark, seals, porpoises, rainbows…..what a trip! Our naturalist Kristin was incredibly knowledgeable, had so many wonderful stories to share, and I just loved how personable she was. Honestly, the whole entire crew was so welcoming and friendly. We were also lucky enough to get the opportunity to learn about the snotbot and all of the awesome work ocean alliance is doing out there. And as someone traveling early in the morning - I loved that they served breakfast. Had such a fun trip out and can’t wait to visit again!!!

Absolutely fantastic. 6 whales in one trip when I went, as well as some porpoises and a big school of fish. The ride wasn't that turbulent, the food was surprisingly good for it being cooked on a literal boat. Beer and spirits were also great, surprisingly selection of those as well. For a tourist boat, wouldn't say the food is overpriced. For the ticket price itself, 60 dollars is not overpriced at all in my opinion. That is an insane amount of value to see 6 whales in person (at least for me) for that price. Narration is great, the information is amazing and the staff truly know what they're doing. They even try to solve the problem of lot of people crowding to one side by turning the ship around so the other side also has an opportunity to see the whales. Great value, great staff, amd great whales sightseeing.

I took my 19 month old son and a friend. We had a blast. Thank you all so much! It is informative, they told us what they are looking for in the distance so everyone on the boat was looking for the whales. They can tell you the name of the whales you see. All in all it was a great trip. My son slept the first half and then enjoyed the second half and he and I shared a burger from the café. I am absolutely going to go again.

I had family who came to visit Massachusetts for the first time (they're from Toronto) and had expressed interest in going whale watching, which is something I haven't done since I was a kid. I was worried there wouldn't be enough tickets for all of us (esp on Labor Day weekend) but lo and behold!! THERE WAS and I'm so glad we got to go with Newburyport Whale Watch. Major shout out to Kaylee who was so hospitable, hilarious, and makes a mean grilled cheese sandwich. We were so fortunate to be able to see 3 humpback whales, which felt incredibly magical. Thank you so much!! My family had a blast!!

We had a great time! The staff were very friendly, knowledgeable, and efficient. We saw 4 humpback whales, 2 small pods of dolphins, a tuna that jumped out of the water, as well as several other fish. We also saw seals on the rocks and a small shark fin by some lobster traps. It was definitely memorable and we will be back next season!

Had a great time watching all the whales. We got lucky that multiple whales came in pairs and had beautiful dives that looked amazingly beautiful. The staffs were very friendly and knowledgeable, we even had small group Q&A on the way back. Highly recommended experience.

I’ve been coming here for over 40 years. I made many memories with my late father & now it’s my turn to carry on his legacy! It’s always a wonderful time. We rise real early, get breakfast at Charlie’s Diner getting to the boat 1/2hr prior to boarding for a good seat. If we don’t see much, the staff still provides that warm family feel making for an escape from all the lands noise. If I could afford to come every year, I would. This place has grown in so many positive ways keeping me on my toes waiting to make another memory with the ocean. Thank you friends! 🐋

Great view and nice post dinner stroll. Parking was kind of annoying, but it really was not that bad. Just kind of cramped. Not enough parking for the restaurants, without paying.

Such a beautiful area. I spent a couple of days here on business and loved this park. Could use a bit better lighting at night but I felt totally safe. Highly recommend it.

Peaceful at night and the folks are so friendly and welcoming. For some reason I get quite a few people offering to join me in my walk offering to give me my own little private tour even all the way to the end which was nice because it gets very dark and very quiet of the beaten path. So selfless and one very polite guy offered to rub my feet because it was quite a long walk to

Absolutely delicious. The lobster roll was unbelievably fresh and stuffed with meat. Desserts and drinks were also stellar. Great views and a super friendly staff. Excellent work and wonderful atmosphere!

A great place to visit and go for a walk. Great views of the harbor! If you want to sit on the lawn and relax, you can. During the Spring 🌼, Summer 🌞 and Fall 🍂, you can hear 🙉 music 🎶. Town parking 🅿️ lots nearby. You can access it by the walking trails. Update: September-October 2025; My daughter liked the park. Enjoyable at night. Worth a visit!

We came here for a picnic while returning to MA from Salisbury beach. The park was very well maintained and the waterfront view was good. Parking was $1 per hour and also plenty of option nearby. Overall we spent an hour an d half here and enjoyed the family time here.

The Waterfront Promenade Park in Newburyport, MA, is pleasant. There is a great walkway along the waterfront with restrooms and places to sit and enjoy the delightful day. Make sure you check out the swings just a short distance from the restrooms. There are a few shops where you can pickup lunch and then enjoy your meal at the nearby picnic tables

I just left Agave, and I have to say, this was probably the worst Mexican food I’ve had in ages. I ordered three tacos with rice and beans, and what I got was shocking. The tacos came out with steak and cheese—cold cheese on a cold tortilla. That’s it. No cilantro, no onion, just the blandest, most tasteless tacos I’ve ever eaten. I managed to take two bites before I couldn’t take any more. When the bartender asked if I wanted to wrap it up, I said no and just asked for the bill. My friend felt the same way and sent theirs back too. If you’re looking for authentic Mexican food, skip Agave and head to Porta Vida instead. The food there is amazing, and the drinks are top-notch. It’s a shame how quickly things have gone downhill at Agave.

We arrived and were standing at the host stand for no more and 10 seconds before a waitress was pushing in between us to get through the door. She used a menu in front of her to basically part us like a bouncer at a club and never uttered an “excuse me” or even acknowledged us… It was a very odd first impression. We had to wait a bit for an outdoor table so we gave our number and walked down the street to some shops, grabbing a tea from another spot. We received the text that our table was ready, went back, a hostess seated us and we were immediately and aggressively approached by what we presumed to be a manager (before our butts even hit our chairs) to tell us to place the tea on the ground as to not display it on the table. This was off putting once again but we continued on looking at the menu, which we now regret. I understand not wanting to advertise another business or bring in outside food / drink, but in an extremely touristy downtown this just felt a bit unnecessary. EVERYONE is walking around with coffees and teas. The waitress then approached and asked us (and all tables in ear shot) “would you like chips and salsa?” We answer “yes” as pretty much every Mexican restaurant includes this, to later find out it’s a $6 charge. I hate restaurants that try to trick you like this - especially at a place where a plate of chicken nachos is $30. Then we got our chicken tacos to split as we wanted to get out of there as soon as possible without going into debt. The chicken was boiled and not seasoned and a sad excuse for Mexican food. We were immediately turned off by the appearance and the flavor was horrific and bland. Water was literally pouring onto the plate as we tried to eat them. Also, we found it to be very strange that many dishes that included steak or avocados did not list prices, and instead referenced “market price.” This seemed like a sketchy way to price gouge tourists on really whatever they wanted. I must assume that the positive reviews are paid actors or influencers as I’m not sure that a good experience here is possible.

First off I have zero complaints about the service. I’ve been here a number of times and have always had great servers willing to bend over backwards. Also the outdoor seating the last couple of years has been nice, and I love they accommodate my dog. But the food is…mediocre. Or has been three visits in a row now. It looks very pretty but is essentially flavorless to me. I love good authentic Mexican food. This doesn’t seem to be that. Idk what’s misfiring in the back of the house but the food is under seasoned and honestly just doesn’t seem “fresh”. Honestly, it seems like it comes from a meal kit. I hate doing reviews like this but I want this place to be better than it actually is right now. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Good place in an area full of restaurants, food is above average with very big portions. Price is on the high side, I wish they would reduce portions and prices. But I was disappointed when they charged extra for extra sour cream with the nachos. The food was expensive to start with, and one would expect sour cream to be included. Also, they have outside seating, but we prefer indoor Air Conditioned spaces. They did not have the AC on, and it was uncomfortably hot in the dining room.

Agave in Newburyport holds a special place as one of my favorite Mexican spots in the area! It's the perfect place for a satisfying, authentic meal, though you might need to build a little extra time into your visit. The Food: Absolutely Delicious The food here is consistently excellent. My personal favorites are: Guacamole: It's fresh, perfectly seasoned, and a must-order appetizer. I could honestly just eat a bowl of this! Fish Tacos: These are prepared, with a great balance of flavor and texture. Carne Asada: A fantastic, flavorful main course. The meat is always tender and well-cooked. Service Note While the cuisine is top-notch, the service can be slow, especially during busy times. It's something to be aware of if you are in a rush. If you're planning a relaxed evening out, however, it's worth the wait for the delicious food. Overall: If you love fantastic Mexican food, Agave is a definite must-try in Newburyport. Just be prepared to settle in and enjoy the atmosphere!

Agave is a small quaint Mexican bistro hidden on state st in downtown Newburyport. Comfortable setting and delightful menu. I opted for the street tacos that were absolutely phenomenal. Alongside the tacos I ordered a grilled Cesar salad with grilled veggies on top! My goodness that was one of the best salads I have EVER eaten. I highly recommend this venue if you’re a foodie like myself. Fresh ingredients that are well put together is a win win. The service is a little slow which is why I am unable to give the final star. However the satisfaction of this visit was undeniable! tDon’t take my word for it go and see for yourself!

This restaurant is amazing! We enjoyed our first date night since having our baby. The food and drinks were great. Our waitress was so sweet and all the staff were super accommodating. The Carne asada is AMAZING! We can never find Carne asada that meets our standards and this definitely HAS! The nachos were amazing as well. We will definitely return! Thank you for giving us such a great night out!

My friends and I come up to Newburyport every summer. This year we tried Anchor Stone Deck Pizza. It was fabulous. I had the chicken parm sandwich, with fresh pesto and the most tender chicken. The bread was warm and oooh so good. My friends had the Buffalo chicken canzone which was large and she loved it. My other friends had a huge Ceasars salad and a slice of spinach, squash and mozzarella pizza. Also fresh and delicious. We will definitely make this a stop every year!

We stopped in early evening for pizza with our little crew—my young kids, mom, sister, and nieces—and had such a great experience! The atmosphere was welcoming from the moment we walked in, and the staff couldn’t have been more friendly and accommodating. They made sure we had everything we needed, even with our big group. The pizza was absolutely delicious—perfectly cooked with great flavor—and enjoyed by everyone at the table (even the picky eaters!). It’s not always easy to find a spot that works for the whole family, but this place was great. We’ll definitely be back!

Visited yesterday. We ordered their cheese pizza and added chicken/mushroom. Wow! The best thin crust pizza I’ve ever had and I’m from the Merrimack Valley. The ingredients were fresh and the pizza was cooked perfectly. I would get this pizza all the time if I lived closer. We also had their Cobb salad which was good! Two things: there wasn’t enough mushrooms- not even close. Very sparse. There are two picnic tables outside but if they added smaller tables it would allow more people to enjoy their food outdoors.

My boyfriend and I recently visited Newburyport, MA. After an almost 4 hour drive and checking into our hotel, we were hungry. A block down the street from our hotel was the Anchor Pizzeria. As soon as we walked in, the aroma was mouth watering awesome! We each ordered a slice that equal to 2 slices in size. It was thin, crisp, tantalizing and heavenly in your mouth! This pizza equals to or is better than any top pizzeria In New Haven, CT. We should know, we live near New Haven. We applaud the young people who create their own dough, pizzas, calzones, stuffed breads and awesome meatballs among many other delicious items! Plan on visiting Anchor Pizzeria in Newburyport, MA You will not be disappointed ....... You'll be amazed!!!!

If you enjoy pizza with toilet paper thin crust, then this is your go to place. Just paid almost $30 for a small pizza with 4 toppings that was the same size as a frozen pizza. And the cheese counted as one of the toppings. At least the dough and sauce were included. They obviously prey on visitors and gullible locals to stay in business.

We just moved to the area and have probably ordered from here 5 times in the first month. Definitely our new go-to pizza place. Always great quality food and quick service. Update: Three years later and it’s still our go to pizza. Super fast delivery and such good quality!

The pizza was really good, we all enjoyed it a lot. We had just come back from the beach and 2 pizzas for the 4 teenagers was just enough. Definitely would recommend.

What a great place! Stumbled across this the other day - staff were friendly, attentive and efficient. Food was tremendous and plenty of it. Such a good feeling to find these gems!

No nonsense, quick serve sandwiches. The selection is wonderful, and everything we had tasted great. No fountain drinks, just drinks from the cooler. It's pretty small with about 8 tables in the place but in good weather lots of places to eat outside if you take to go. Good place to get a quick bite in the center of Newburyport.

First of all, Tyke is a true chef and runs a tight and professional ship. He is very serious and passionate about his work. It is a wonderful family business atmosphere but even more than that. Secondly, they have an award winning sweet but spicy turkey chili that is out of this world. It’s so good in fact that I just shared with him for the first time it was the only food I could eat during my pregnancy! So basically long story short I recommend highly to try his food! His turkey chili practically saved my child’s life during my pregnancy! Only thing I could hold down and wouldn’t throw it up! lol

Amazing food and hard working friendly staff. The reuben was delicious, crisp, and juicy.

This is my third time here and everything is great as usual. Had the steak bomb before and was fantastic, but it seems to be a daily special item. Wish they could bring it back. We had the wraps this time and they were all filled with fresh and delicious ingredients. Highly recommend this place!

Got their "Keto Salad" & it was DELICIOUS. I couldn't even eat it all so I ate half for lunch and had the rest with dinner. I ordered online through their website. There were lots of dressing options as well. It's always packed in there but they do have a pick up line so that was awesome! I've had wraps here before that were really good. Their chili definitely has a kick to it but it's great to get rid of that stuffy nose. Parking can be tricky here though but not impossible to find a spot. I will be returning to try more!

The best food and the friendliest staff! Always going above and beyond to help us with food pick-up and ordering. Always so kind and welcoming. 100% recommend!
