When you walk in, the place is beautiful- sort of modern rustic chic with beautiful string lights. We ordered mussels and wine to start. Mussels were fantastic. Meaty, flavorful and plenty for everyone. The entree is where it fell short for me. I got the shrimp pasta. While the flavor was there, when I cut into the shrimp they still looked pretty translucent to me. After eating one and cutting up a few others, I felt that they were undercooked. The waitress said they wouldn't cook them more but she could bring the plate back and ask if they were cooked through. My plate came back and I was told they were cook so I sat there pushing soft, nasty shrimp around my plate while just eating spaghetti. My boyfriend asked for a medium burger and it was definitely rare to medium rare. When this happens, generally you offer to bring out new protein cooked again or ask if the guest wants something else but I was just left to feel like I was nuts. Whatever, into dessert. Now for dessert, I thought we'd try the cookies and ice cream. cookies were completely raw ( not just soft) and also not hot and the ice cream on the plate looked like it was pre scooped and refrozen. While I loved the concept of this place. Relaxing getaway where you can just do it all onsite, I honestly would spare yourselves the experience of the restaurant or order fish and chips or fried chicken) and just dine in Newburyport.

In Ipswich, a small town near Boston, many restaurants were closed on Monday. This place, though a…read morebit out of the way, was pretty good. Fig & Pig Flatbread: I loved the rich sweetness of the figs--it tasted just like summer! Combined with the slightly bitter arugula, the sweet and sour balsamic vinegar, the savory and aromtic ham, and the fermented aroma of Gorgonzola, the flavors were rich and harmonious, like a cool breeze blowing through the still clear blue sea and bright sunshine of late New England summer--instantly pleasant. The flatbread had crispy edges and a soft base; if there were less cheddar, it wouldn't be so cloying towards the end, making it even better. Fish Tacos: Consistent with the ones I had in San Diego, the pico de gallo was a classic, rich Mexican flavor, very much to my liking, just noticeably milder. However, the Sriracha aioli was barely noticeable and lacked spiciness, which was a bit of a disappointment, as I had high hopes for it!

The food wasn't anything special. The steak tips were ordered medium but came out med-rare (which…read moreis fine for me. I prefer medium but enjoy med-rare) but the also were burnt on the outside. Well beyond "a little char". The brisket was cut strangely thin and was like eating salted beef. In fact everything was too salty. The broccoli wasn't trimmed so all the dirty stem ends were unappealing and I removed them myself. The mashed were way too salty as well. We split a ceaser to start and there was barely any dressing but once we got more it was better. The dressing was fantastic, not a good as the Hart House but still good. Drinks were good and had a good price We won't return.

The staff are friendly and the servers knowledgeable and efficient. The hostess had trouble finding our reservation (my companion was already seated) but it seemed to be quite busy that Friday night. The restaurant consists of quite a few separate rooms and we were seated in one that was not too crowded. (I walked through the bar on my way in and that was hopping.) I had a glass of sauvignon blanc and after studying the menu and consulting our server my companion and I both went for a burger. There was no problem with my swapping out the french fries for onion rings (points there!). The burgers were done exactly to our liking (mine mediume rare, hers medium well). I should have turned down dessert, I was that full, but my companion was willing so we went for it. There was a good selection of typical New England desserts and we finally settled on a blueberry crisp topped with vanilla ice cream which was good but not great (not sure I can put my finger on why, so it may be that I was too full to enjoy it). There is a parking lot although it is not paved so was not fun walking through at the end of a day when it clearly had rained. It also could use some lighting. This is a wonderful restaurant suitable for a special occasion or an ordinary night out. I will definitely be back.

I've been coming here for years. I'm typically there on Thursdays. Never had a wait to be seated…read more (Weekends are busier but I can't comment on how long a wait might be). I've never had any of the problems I see people writing about here. NO roaches, don't even think I've ever seen a fly or ant. Regarding the cash only, they have an ATM. There are other restaurants in the area that are far more expensive that are cash only such as Choates and Farnhams, and last I knew, Agawam was also cash only. This isn't something that just the VPH does. I love the ambiance. This is a true colonial house built in 1660 and always feels homey. I usually get breakfast and am a fan of their scrambled eggs. TRUE scrambled eggs that are light and fluffy. Not fried and then cut up or folded over into a square like McD's. Huge omelets. They also have an early bird breakfast menu with good choices, good prices until 11:00. I've tried different options and haven't had anything I didn't like. Good coffee too! I usually have to have decaf and theirs is good, but one time I forgot to specify decaf. I tried the regular coffee and had no issues. It was very good! Most of all, the staff! The owner is always there. She is the lovely lady that greets and seats everyone. If you ever experience an issue or have a question, do not hesitate to talk to her. She is very approachable. Their servers are excellent and they always get a nice crop of summer student help. Plenty of parking, and in nice weather, you can eat outside on the porch. I highly recommend!

Everything else was good. Tip: they are cash only, so remember to have cash on hand if you're planning to stop by.

Although it wasn't busy, we waited quite a while even for beverages. When the waitress eventually took our orders, I asked for a cheese burger club sandwich, medium rare, add onions. My husband got a chicken parm sub. When we finally got our lunches, she served mine with no French fries, which I eventually received a few moments later. The burger on my club sandwich was so overcooked it was like a piece of shoe leather. There were no onions, and the minuscule piece of cheese didn't look or taste like cheese, but reminded me of a piece of curled up parchment paper. My husband's sub was fair but she forgot to bring him the glass of water he'd asked for and he had to keep asking for refills of his iced tea. Overall a dreadful experience when we had been looking forward to a tasty, quick meal. The first time we've ever been there, and also our last.

I also had the waffle sweet potato fries, which were very good for sweet potato fries, not at all soggy like I sometimes experience. Also got their house sauce to dip the fries in and was so good did not touch the ketchup. Great place for a burger.
