We stopped in for lunch on our way to visit our daughter in Falmouth. What a welcoming & spectacular experience we had! My husband loved the lobster roll - best he's ever had! I ordered the grilled chicken with prosciutto, mozz & tomatoes in a Marsala sauce with risotto - legit could enjoy this entree every day! Amelia was our server and made us feel right at home! We will be back! read more

Had a great meal and a fantastic mudslide at the outside bar. Service was exceptional and we can't wait to return.

Went there last night with family. We were seated immediately. Our waitress was so friendly and polite! During our meal she was constantly checking in and making sure everything was okay. Our drinks came to the table in a timely manner as well as our appetizers. Which all were very tasty. The noise level did get a little high as our dinner progressed as the restaurant was busy. As for our main meals the taste and tenderness were amazing! I sorry for no pictures but i don't think they would have done them justice. Looking at past reviews I am confused the range of experiences. As for our it was amazing!! read more

Great service great food The staff that we get there every time are friendly and work hard for you . They have awesome brunch.

The hostess and wait staff were really nice, organized and helpful. I took a start away since our table did not like any of the starters. The French onion soup had too much sherry in it (too sweet and absent any bone broth flavor) and the jumbo shrimp lacked flavor. However, our mains were worth coming back for. The paella was wonderful - it had a great Smokey undertone and all the seafood in it was cooked perfectly. The swordfish was perfect - nicely seasoned and cooked just right (not over or under). Even though the restaurant was packed - it was not really noisy at our table. We had a lovely meal! read more

First time dining here. Party of 6 for Father's Day. Our waiter was great(always impressed when a server does not write anything down or use a hand held computer. Food was Super! Will definitely return. read more

Wow! So good!! Need I say more? Stopped in for dinner with friends. Nice, clean, good size, well lit restaurant with nice big bar. Spacious seating. Great menu. Greeted pleasantly at the door by the hostess. Sat down table for four. Wait service was great! Our waitress, Rebecca, was excellent, attentive, friendly, polite, courteous and professional. Food and drinks all perfectly prepared, absolutely delicious and plentiful. Good amount for the price. Old fashions are awesome. Ordered the sautéed mussels with white wine for appetizer. Finger licking good and tender (sorry no pic. Got devoured quickly) For entrees, we ordered the New England fried platter, twin Maryland crabcakes and the grilled marinated beef tips. Again all perfectly prepared and absolutely delicious. Highly recommend. Definitely will return to try the other items on the menu. read more

Went for my special birthday dinner with my husband. Greeted nicely at door and seated immediately. From there the service was terrible. The waitress Emilia was so unpleasant, took forever to come to the table, read the specials so fast I we had to ask again. Didn't check on us again put the dinner down and that was it. The food however was amazing. I had the stuffed lobster and my husband had a delicious perfectly cooked steak. Left wondering if we'd come back due to the service. read more

Great night. Split the mussels app and the paella with my date and we both left full. Will be back for another meal. Most definitely read more

Food was ok, very upscale if that is what you are looking for. Service felt rushed and waitress acted like she didn't want to be there. Very loud in the dining area. For some reason the people outside get a different menu? Both come from the same kitchen. read more

Too noisy, couldn't hear ourselves talk. Food was okay, nothing special. Prices were reasonable.

42° North was a delightful place to enjoy an early dinner. The ambience is comforting and inviting. Our server was attentive and wonderful. The food was hot and delicious! I have the Sea Bass special which was layered over lobster risotto OMG, and served with perfectly cooked asparagus. My wife had the Seared Scallops, delicious and hot as well. I highly recommend this restaurant! read more

We had a great dinner tonight. My dinner was about 4 to 5 minutes later than my wife's, which I couldn't care less. As my wife's was served the manager came over apologized and comped my meal. I told her it was not necessary but she insisted. When we went up to thank her she said it's the way they do business. I can only say Boston restaurants are not any better food wise and as far as I can tell definitely no better business wise. Ty and you have loyal customers from here on. The food was delicious and service was more than wonderful. We sat at the bar and the bartenders were absolutely attentive!!! Thank you! read more

Reservations are not accepted. 3 of us arrived around 5:15 on a beautiful Friday evening. It appeared that all of the outdoor seating was taken, however inside there were plenty of tables. The bar was full, but around 6pm there were plenty of seats freed up. SERVICE: Rebecca was excellent. I had my elderly Mom with me, and Rebecca could see her drink glass was a bit top heavy for her, so she returned later with a smaller glass with 1/2 the drink poured and delivered the second half in a separate glass. Very sweet. She is friendly and attentive. BAR: My cosmo was made perfectly, $10.50 and a generous size. Chard was $12 and an average pour. FOOD: The complimentary bread was a bit dry and stale and the olive oil served with it was watery. As we were not there for the free bread we didn't complain or send it back, just put it aside. The Schrod was very good, light, fresh and flaky. The Sea Scallops were very good, however, way overpriced at $36. Guessing the $10 premium might have been due to little lobster bits in the rice, but this dish would have been perfect with no lobster bits at around $26-28. The sautéed mussels app, $16, was excellent and a generous portion - Mom ate them as her entree. ATMOSPHERE: We were placed at a table in the front corner of the restaurant and that section has more of a kitchen feel. If I come back, I'll wait for outdoor seating as that area seemed really nice. There is an admin fee of 3% added to every bill. There is small print on the menu pointing this out, but can be easily overlooked. read more

42° North - Schrod, $26. Very good. The broccoli, cooked with garlic, excellent. - Seafood Near Me - Plymouth, Massachusetts

Food was absolutely delicious - I got a halibut special - but the waitress was terrible. Never came over after we got our meal to see if we needed anything. She was in such a rush telling us about the specials that I had to ask her to repeat it three times. We all loved our food though. read more

I can only speak for the baked stuffed lobster; it was not good. The minuscule portion of lobster hidden in the soggy stuffing was tasteless and also soggy. The stuffing had fat overcooked scallops like rubber bands and shrimp that you'd get out of the jar in cocktail sauce. Disgusting! read more

We had an awesome experience last year and was excited to comeback. I was so disappointed to have this "paella" served. It was more like a soup over rice. We also had the Lobster Corn Chowder & Clam chowder both were unremarkable. The hostess was not only chewing her gum but playing with it while walking us to our table. read more

We love this place!!! Always delicious!! Our server Kayla was awesome!! Very attentive, positive vibe and friendly. Thank you for a great experience! read more

Good service, decent pours, food was average at best. They allow only 2 martinis due to some sort of incident. Wouldn't want more than 2, but were told after we ordered our second....maybe a heads up would have been nice. Don't think we'll be back. It's a really nice outdoor space/bar. Too bad about the restrictions. Too many better options. The stuffed shrimp, one of their signature dishes, was pretty gross. read more

Very fresh seafood and a variety of other choices. We started with excellent and generous calamari shared by our table of three. I had the very fresh tasting broiled scrod with potatoes au gratin and butternut squash, all which I loved. My companions had Bouillabaisse and Paella respectively, both very plentiful, fresh and delicious. Very good cocktail menu and winelist. Reasonably priced. Excellent service. Plenty of free parking. Beautifully spacious, comfortable and contemporary. Recommended. read more

We love seafood and 42 North did not disappoint. Everything was perfectly seasoned and cooked. These folks know what they are doing. Our server was a professional in every regard. The scallops were seared to perfection. The Schrod has a light coating that allowed the delicate flakes to shine. We will return! The place has beautiful decor that let you know you're near the water without the typical seafood decor. Overall great dining experience. read more

All the reviews about this place were right on target. Servings are generous, nice variety of entrees and the staff is extremely gregarious. My husband chose a queen cut prime rib and it could easily have passed for a competitors regular cut. My chicken dish was served with an al dente pasta which is just the way I like it. We will definitely be back when we are in the neighborhood. read more

Food was great . Our server was Nick, and very attentive. We had the 2 lb lobsters. Will go back. Wish there was a little more lobster in stuffing instead of all the shrimp and scallops read more

Everything here is delicious. The outdoor seating patio area is lovely. Service is always nice and accommodating. I recommend the scallops, chicken pasta and desert! read more

Good food for lunch. Desperately wish they wouldn't serve the fish on the top of the chip because of soggy chips. Service was fine. Loved sitting next to the fish tank. read more

TL;DR : Great restaurant with nice outdoor seating and delicious seafood dishes. Recommend: Calamari, Seafood Fra Diavolo, BBQ Brisket Sandwich. Pass: Clam Chowder. We highly recommend the outdoor seating patio if the weather is good since it has a nice airy feel to it. Items we ordered (as of 6/2022): - New England Clam Chowder - $8 - I don't know if it was just our dish or if it is meant to be this way but it was VERY thick. The thick consistency didn't make for an enjoyable eating experience on its own (though it was okay when used as a "dip" for the complimentary bread). Also was a bit too salty for us. - Seafood Fra Diavolo - $19 - If you are a seafood lover then definitely get this! The portion size and quantity of seafood was fantastic for the price and the fact that it comes out on the pan they cooked it in was a very nice touch. Fantastic flavors and perfectly cooked! - The Ultimate BBQ Brisket Sandwich - $18 - Pretty good (though very heavy!). I'm very glad it came with a lot of pickles (both on the sandwich and a wedge on the side) as it's very rich in flavor. Be aware that it's messy to eat! - Fried Rhode Island Calamari - $16 - This was awesome. Great quantity and the remoulade dipping sauce had a very nice kick to it. Would get this again. Special shoutout to the complimentary bread they provide (which is rare especially for a lunch service). Very soft and delicious and the olive oil dipping sauce was great as well. Overall we were very happy with the service and experience and would definitely recommend! read more

I really wanted to go back to this restaurant, and the fact that they take reservations is really important to be because I live 40 minutes away. I called for a reservation in the mid afternoon for dinner that evening. I was told that they don't allow reservations for the same day. I ended up making a reservation at a different restaurant that day and will not likely ever go back here. It looks like this restaurant just doesn't want my business. read more

Recently ordered the braised short-ribs with mashed potatoes. Cold blustery day with snow furries - comfort food required. I ordered short-ribs but was served chunks of chuck roast. Sure it was braised, but it's a different cut of meat. It's a bait & switch some restaurants are attempting to pull off. Short ribs ALWAYS come on the bone. Dead give away that 42 degrees is serving lower cost chuck meat. No problem - I will not be returning. read more

I had a very good meal and a nice experience on a recent visit to 42 North. I see that they are sporting a 4-star rating on Yelp and that is very accurate. My experience was 4.5. I will go with a round-down 4 for my review. 42 North accepts reservations for parties of four or more, and we were a party of four and made one. We were seated right away upon arrival, others without reservations needed to wait a bit. One of our four was my one-year-old granddaughter. We were shown to an area where there were other kids and a huge and cool fish tank. It was a nice and thoughtful place for our party to be seated. Our service was very good, our waitress was Tara. Decor is what you would expect at a New England seafood restaurant. The restaurant can get a little loud but nothing out of the ordinary. I ordered the swordfish and it was totally on point. My son-in-law ordered scallops and they were also very good. My daughter order a vegan chipotle bowl (I think) and she was satisfied. 42 North sports a super big bar that I would be happy to eat at and drink at any time. All in all, this place was a great find ... I would be happy to go back. Bon appetite. read more

Poor service, terrible drinks, marginal food. It was packed so perhaps this is as good as it gets to the locals, but we left feeling disappointed in all aspects. The ambiance is clean, modern and inviting... it's downhill from there. read more

Never disappointed! From apps to salads, mains, desserts, cocktails.. everything is consistently good every time!

We love 42 Degrees North! They have excellent menu choices, one of our favorites is their swordfish, just delicious. The Cioppino is also a favorite. Recently had a special halibut entree with Parmesan risotto, absolutely scrumptious! We love the servers, all are friendly and extremely accommodating. This is definitely one of our favorites!!!!!! read more

After an arduous, traffic ridden, six hour drive from NYC, we were starving for some tasty local seafood. Trusting Tellers' high reviews, I chose 42 North as our first meal in Plymouth. We were not disappointed! We arrived at 9pm on a Thursday night, without reservations (as reservations are accepted only for parties of six and more). The place closes at 10pm, but about six tables and a handful of people at the bar were still dinning when we got in the door. We sat by the aquariums and the live singer/musician, who, unfortunately, concluded entertaining the crowd right when we arrived. From the outside, the restaurant looks more upscale than it is inside. A casual vibe inside, simple, typical American diner-like set up inside. A large bar where you can have your meal. Outdoor seating is available during good weather. Everyone was wearing hoodies and sweatpants and I was the only one in a nice dress. Our waiter was friendly and accommodating. The food was brought out from the kitchen really quickly, so ask your waiter not to bring out all appetizers at once, so you can enjoy them one by one while they're still warm. The kitchen closes at 10pm on weeknights, so we were warned to order our last dishes by 9:40. We got New England clam chowder ($7), which was chock full of clams. Perfectly creamy and delicate. Little potatoes and plenty of clams. I've had many superb clam chowders and have to admit that this is one of the best ones I've had. Lobster corn chowder ($10), with lobster pieces and sweet corn. Thick, hearty taste and consistency. A piquant taste compared to the delicate clam chowder. Delicious broth, tons of corn, but only three tiny pieces of lobster. Stuffed quahogs ($14), two clam shells per portion, were nothing special. The stuffing had too little clams inside, and $14 for just two quahogs is steep. Tater tot Poutine ($14) was surprisingly delicious. A big piece of pulled short rib meat (done in port wine, semi glacé) was served on top, along with house made 9 cheese sauce, which was creamy and tasty. The portion was huge--definitely could've served as an entree. Plenty of tater tots that we took home. A surprisingly original interpretation of a poutine, which we really enjoyed. The shrimp and scallop duo ($26) was standard, nothing to rave about. Buttery pasta, no white sauce. A filling portion, enough shrimps and scallops for all that linguine. I'd suggest trying something you wouldn't be able to get everywhere else. Overall, recommend and would be back again! read more

For local ambiance and well-prepared seafood, head to 42° North. Great dishes (and you need a good appetite as the portions are quite generous) are the Atlantic Cioppino, with a really well made tomato broth and variety of shellfish and fish, and the Barcelonan Seafood Paella, also with a rich tomato sauce. They could have better wines and also they lack draft beers and ales, which is the reason I only give them a "4" rating. Go for the food, not the dinner beverages! And, oh, the melted chocolate cake dessert we shared amongst 4 of us - it's also plenty big. read more

Service was slow through no fault of the server. It seemed to me she just had too many tables on a Saturday night, not a big deal. Food while not great was OK. My main issue was when we got the bill. All the way on the bottom was a $14 "Administration" fee. There were 4 couples so $3.50 /couple. I asked the server what it was and she said management added it to cover the cost of charge card fees. So I then asked if we paid cash would we still be charged. The server informed us we would because it is added to all bills regardless of payment. Hmmm.... She also said it is printed on the menu. I don't know about you, but I don't read the fine print on the menu looking for a "gotcha"! I just thing it is sleezy when restaurants sneak in these types of Adminstration fees, Franchise fees, Entertainment fees, etc onto the bill. Just raise your price a couple bucks if you have to. I won't be going back until I hear this fee is dropped. YMMV! read more
