    Blasting reggae music at 10 am when the beach is otherwise quiet is not going to make people want to eat your food.

    My order: açaí bowl and iced espresso The Review: I liked…read morehow many gluten free options they had, and I liked the emphasis on featuring local products. They also claim to be a sort of community gathering center. The coffee was ok! Local-ish Fazenda coffee. The lack of customer service was insane. There were staff available but I waited for a while at the counter for someone to notice me and take my order. I spent around $25 for 2 items, am injured with difficulty walking, and they wouldn't let me use the bathroom, hinting that they had one but not "for the public". Instead they directed me to a public restroom down the road with 4 stalls for hundreds of people at the beach. The açaí was good though. I guess you have to weigh the pros and cons.

    Don't waste your time at this cafe. Waited 1 hour for a breakfast burrito and when we went to check…read moreon the status of the order with the manager, she rudely replied that your name would be called when the order is ready. I went to check in 10 min later and was again asked rudely by the manager on shift for my name to finally check the status. She took a good second to figure out the status and said it would be right out. Then, realized it was already sitting on the ready to go table where no one called our name. Sad establishment, but baristas were great. Feel bad for the nice baristas and workers there. Their manager needs to learn some customer service.

    Arrived into Salisbury around 8:15 after a storm had come through and everything was shutting down…read more Walked into SurfSide and we could tell they were about 1 minute from walking out that door and ending their shift, but the AMAZING staff saw the weary traveler look in our eyes and said "we got you! Sit anywhere you would like" We had the crispy calamari which was amazing! Even the peppers were fried and my husband was loving that. (The picture isn't the full order because I forgot to take it before we dug in) The sauce it came with was very delicious as well. Of course we ordered the Lobstah roll and 10/10 highly recommend. We chose the warm roll and it came with a hearty serving of French fries, a pickle spear, and Cole slaw. We left full and happy thanks to the wonderful server/bartender, manager, and cooks who were willing to stay on for the extra hour just to serve two customers.

    Overpriced food and drinks at a place right next to the beach? Not shocking at all, I knew what I…read morewas getting into. And honestly I was really impressed with the back deck area, a pretty good amount of seating and a straight view of the ocean. The food actually was pretty good. But the service, like the other reviews I am now reading agree with, is this place's downfall. You seat yourself, then it takes 30 minutes for someone to comes over. The table wasn't wiped down between groups so we had a visually dirty table. Need menus? Okay 20 minutes after you sit down and then they will disappear for another 20 getting those for you. Then hand them too you and disappear for another 20 and at this point you have decided not only your drink but your entire meal because you have been sitting with the meal for so long. A cocktail, lemonade and water? You guessed it, another 20 minutes. It was like this the entire time. After we got our drinks, it genuinely took 40 minutes for the waitress to come back over to get our food order. It was insane?!! She was nice when she was there but as soon as we finished talking she ran off again before we could ask for refills or where the bathroom was. We were f u l l y ignored and ended up having to spend over two hours for what was supposed to be a quick beach day early dinner. We were starving by the time we got our food and were all pretty hangry. Tiny drinks, my friend's $14 drink was mostly ice and a massive orange slice, like two sips of drink in there. Got elote dip, which was actually pretty good but it came in a cup??? Like a drink cup? (Pictured here) so you couldn't dip your chip in??!? Like just a badly set up business. And had a small handful of chips, not enough for even our small party (3). They need a full overhaul of their system. I saw plenty of servers and the restaurant was a little less than 3/4 full, can't imagine how they operate when at capacity. In summary, not going to go back because nothing was there was worth my money. As a local, just eat at home or bring a picnic if you are visiting. (The only thing on the boardwalk worth the money is trying the "beach pizza") Upset about my $120 down the drain.

I enjoyed the standard plate that included a homemade biscuit the size of my head. Yes, I finished it. I mean, it was a homemade biscuit for Pete's sake! Iasked for soft poaced eggs and I got them. Lovely table service, too. Now, off to rehearsal for a film!

Our only real option was two seats at the bar. We had quick and attentive service from the bartender. Interesting offerings for cocktails, and we enjoyed our drinks. The food I think can be best described as American/Thai/Asian. Food came pretty fast, and we started with crab rangoon, and possibly the largest we have ever been served. Fried up crisp, not greasy and generously filled with cream cheese and real crab. Next up, we tried the Waygu burger which was quite good, nice toppings. My only complaint here was we wished the fries were fresh out of the fryer. I'm really fussy about fries and like them hot, crispy and fresh. Sadly, these were not. I had my eye on the Choco Taco for dessert, and this was a sophisticated version of the classic frozen treat you may have enjoyed from the ice cream truck as a kid. Home made with great ingredients, it was a perfect finish to a very nice meal. I would definitely give these guys a try when in Newburyport.
