I can go here and get a haddock sandwich and a chicken sandwich and you wouldn't even know it was purchased at the same place. I don't know where they get this seafood from, but it is delicious. Tip: Take Out Good food, good crew.

However, in the past month I have been here twice and both times my food was burnt. Visibly burnt. Felt burnt. Tasted burnt. Also one time my order was missing sauce. So clearly the level of quality control has dropped significantly. These are expensive plates. We're talking $50-$60 for a single person to eat. Such a waste of money, I am very disappointed and will not be back.

What a disappointment. First, waiter told us that they have some issues with grill and some choices from the menu are not available. Ok, we did work around that. Next, they got my order but not my husband's order. Ok. I was waiting for his food to arrive. They most likely forgot about it. Next, we got his order. Food was ok. They asked us if we want the dessert. Ok so we asked for the desert menu. Again, she said they don't have a menu for that but she said that they have carrot cake, tiramisu or caramel cheesecake. Ok we said caramel cheesecake. We were waiting at least 15 minutes until she came to tell us that they don't have caramel cheesecake. Ok, so we said tiramisu. We waited another 30 minutes and she came to say that they didn't have tiramisu either. That's where I had enough and left my husband to pay a bill. Waitress gave him bill to pay ....you guess right, for caramel cheesecake and tiramisu that we never got. My husband was looking at it with disbelief. Like this is worst customer service we ever experienced. Poor, low effort, disappointment and worst restaurant experience for us. Don't go there. They should go out of business! IL

First time here and I'm glad I came into the north shore of Boston. Usually I stick to New…read moreHampshire but I had family in town and of course they all wanna see Boston so I looked up a spot around the area we were in and The Blue Ox should up. Once inside we were seated very quickly... We started with some Crispy Calamari that had peppers and a nice chipotle aioli sauce that went well together. Then we had the Mussels which were very good, it had lots of garlic which we love and it has white wine with heirloom tomatoes. Both appetizers were amazing. Now for my dish I went with the Sin Burger due to seeing a bunch awards for this burger so I had to try. So the burger I ordered was made medium with bacon, truffle aioli and Swiss cheese. It was so good and this dish was the highlight of my night. It was made to perfection and everything went well together in the burger. I'll definitely be back just to eat the burger again. So if you're around Lynn then be sure to give this spot a try. You won't be disappointed!

We tried the "demon seed" the blood orange old fashioned, the "bacon and legs" the "dirty and hot" and the limoncello sipper for dessert. Food wise, we did tuna tartar that I didn't think was spicy but my friend did. It had a nice whipped cream cheese as a base with some homemade chips. Normally I don't like chips but these were good. We also tried the wings. Piping hot, perfect crispness and the house blue cheese I could have eaten with a spoon. We came after a beach day so not our best dressed but we were treated like royalty either way. Definitely a place to return!

The food came out cold, which is pretty inexcusable for something as simple as roast beef. Presentation was sloppy and unappealing, like no one took even a second to care how it looked before serving it. Service was mediocre at best--nothing outright rude, but definitely not attentive or professional. Overall, it just felt like a place going through the motions without any real standards. Would not recommend.

Even though the restaurant was pretty empty, our service was a bit slow. There was only one waitress covering the three tables and it took quite a while to get our order taken. I opted for the baked haddock with onion rings and cole slaw. My friend ordered the baked scallops with a baked potato and broccoli. When our meals came out, we realized that they had put the wrong entrees on each plate. As the scallops were in a dish, it was easy to swap them, although my haddock fell apart when I slid it onto the plate with my sides. The haddock was tasty and moist, with a buttery flavored crust. The onion rings were super crunchy and really good. The cole slaw was decent. My friend's scallops were served super hot and she also enjoyed her meal. Our friendly waitress made up for the slow service. This is a solid choice for seafood in the area.

It came with two sides, so we had their fresh broccoli and wedge salad (iceberg lettuce & tomatoes), which Tawna brought out before the entree, which was great! This quaint neighborhood bar/restaurant, which has been around since 1961, was also festively decorated. They hung garland and lights from their ceiling, which looked awesome.

The main event: THE TUNA My partner and I took one bite of the mashed potatoes with the miso sauce and both literally got chills and a tear came to our eyes. The texture of the tuna, the crunch of the sesames, the bok choi added a perfect fibrous element and the potatoes in the sauce all melded together in perfect harmony.
