    Oysters
    Michelle L.

    My husband I have been here twice recently and thoroughly enjoyed our visit. The food is absolutely phenomenal and service is always very prompt and friendly. On my most recent visit, I tried the raw oysters and then the seared scallops with risotto and asparagus. The seafood was sooo fresh and the scallops were cooked to perfection. My husband has a gluten intolerance and this place has SO many gluten free options - nearly every menu item is or can be made gluten free, and options are clearly marked. The only downside is that this restaurant can get quite loud, as it is seemingly very popular and tables are close together in an open room. But the food is worth it!

    Mussels with Bread

    Went out to Celebrate my Elizabeth's Birthday, we went out to: Bluefish River Tavern in Duxbury, we started with the Rolls and Butter.....there Butter Taste like exactly like Texas Roadhouse.....it's so good, we also had a Caesar Salad, it was big enough for us 2, it was really good too, then our Main Dish were: she got the Mussels with Bread....I also tried some and they were Delicious, I got Swordfish Piccata with Butternut Squash Risotto, and Green Beans, that Meal was delicious and really good, we had Leftovers, they Surprised my Wife with Chocolate Lava Cake and we really liked it.....overall this Restaurant was great, very Packed for a Sunday Night with Families and so on, definitely give it a 9 out of 10, excellent place to bring your Wife, Kids, and Family.

    From cocktails to dessert and service. Every part was perfect. Lively atmosphere on a Sunday. Calamari was the best the three of us have had. The Brazilian fish stew was amazing. We loved our experience entirely. Cocktails were plentiful. We will definitely come back.

    Another superb meal at the Bluefish. Oh, by the way, the drinks are spot on and mixed light, no, they are made the way it should be.

    Absolutely fabulous meal! The service is spot on.. loved everything we ate. Got a gift card from the kids as they know we like it here. Just wish they had more lunch options on Saturday and Sunday but they do have a brunch menu to choose from. It can get busy at night so I suggest making a reservation.. if you haven't been just go and enjoy! Thank you to the entire staff because that is truly what it takes to make a place run so well and efficiently!

    Mac and cheese
    Alea O.

    We had an amazing time and the food was to die for! Our server was fantastic and recommended the burrata and I'm so glad she did because it was the best burrata I've ever had. Then had bolognese and Mac and cheese both were good. And for dessert we had a crumbled cookie with ice cream and was also good but the true star of the show was the burrata I would eat that for the rest of my life if I could. Also we both got cranberry mules which were very good.

    Mussels

    Lovey place. Friendly staff, salmon salad was perfect. I didn't prefer the mussels sauce. I didn't taste the coconut and wasn't expecting it to be red. . Otherwise the mussels were great. But not as good as I found them to be last year. Good price point as well. We had the Pessimist red bled which was yummy

    Great food with many options, great service. One of my favorites. Nice setting but it can be loud. A tad on the pricey side but worth it.

    Winsor is Wonderful!…read more I see that Yelpers do not love Winsor due to the low ratings and reviews but I have to ask why. What I will say is if you read these bad reviews you might be surprised at what people complain about. But, on a more positive note, this will be my 3rd time dining here and everytime has been wonderful (hence my title). The food, ambiance, drinks, etc. you really can't go wrong with any of them. And, the drive there is also stunning. Duxbury as you know is a beautiful beach and golf city with million dollar homes along the way. Cha-Ching! I arrived a little early while I waited for my friend to arrive. The restaurant was not overly crowded which was good for a Friday evening. We sat right near the fireplace which was super nice. When my friend arrived we started with some drinks. Then we were so torn as to what to order so we started with their Tuna Crudo. My favorite since it was super fresh, melt in your mouth sashimi. Yummy! Then we shared a salad which was just ok. For entrees, she ordered the Linquine Vongole which looked good but a huge portion. I ordered Fluke for the first time and although it wasn't what I am used to, I still enjoyed it. We passed on dessert and had coffee with amaro; they have some nice after dinner drinks. All I have to say is go see for yourself that this gorgeous, south shore spot is perfect for any occassion. Or even if you want to grab a glass of wine/drink and sit at the bar, that sounds good too! Cheers~!

    Being local, this is a restaurant that we go to every so often. We've been 4 times in the last few…read moremonths alone (twice for brunch, twice for dinner) and each time has been an increase in disappointment. As a result, we will be taking a long break. A consistently good experience has been the oysters and starters. Fortunately, it's easy to cross the street and eat at the ICO raw bar or bring some oysters home to shuck. That will continue. Cocktails are usually good. But Winnie entrees have been consistently under seasoned and underwhelming these last visits. On our last visit, one dish was so bad that much was inedible (and even what was consumed was mediocre). Vibes are good, so maybe just come for a drink and apps at the bar. Treat yourselves to a full meal elsewhere.

    I would like to express my concerns regarding our recent visit to your establishment, which was…read moreadvertised as a kid-friendly environment. Unfortunately, my experience was quite the opposite. During our visit, I witnessed the owner loudly reprimanding children and their parents for typical child behavior. Additionally, our order was not fulfilled; the steak and cheese egg rolls were unappetizing and resembled a processed paste, and the side salad was simply a mix of greens with ranch dressing, despite my request for balsamic vinaigrette. Furthermore, the owner's aggressive demeanor was alarming. He followed me outside, questioning where I worked and suggesting that I should endure the same treatment. This incident escalated to the point where he demanded $400 for wall damages that were nonexistent, as there was no visible marker on the walls -DUE TO THE FACT THAT THEY ARE DRY ERASE MARKERS. or because the child wrote her name so small that even if it was permanent marker, you would never be able to see it, but they were doing something wrong and we did have a conversation with them. After they stopped crying because you screamed in their faces While I understand that children should not write on walls ( even though looks like you can and has markers on them), the response from the owner was excessive and disproportionate. I believe that a more professional approach, such as a polite reminder about the rules, would have sufficed. This experience is disappointing, especially since we had previously recommended your establishment to others and enjoyed our visits. For families seeking a positive environment, I suggest considering alternative venues, as our experience did not reflect the welcoming atmosphere promised. .

    Went on a busy night. We sat right away, our waitress stopped by and said she would be right back…read more We ordered drinks and apps. Everything came out quick and was delicious. our server Steph was so nice and helpful. We will be back for sure.
