Passport Restaurants is one of the best restaurants in Beverly. It's a really beautiful restaurant,…read morewith white tablecloths, flowers at every corner, and nice jazz music. Really ideal ambiance. I like everything I've tried here, which has included the passport grilled chicken sandwich, burger, fries, power bowl, and house-broth ramyeon. They have so many options, anyone in your party would be happy with their selection of seafood, meat, vegetarian, pasta & more options. I ordered their harvest bowl which was really delicious, however the steak comes cold and i was charged $3 for not a lot of sweet potato, I would have preferred more sweet potato. I have now dined in once to get their house-broth ramyeon which is absolutely delicious. Their water is filtered with lemon & mint, and the restaurant is so pretty with white tablecloths for a "casual" experience with amazing food. passport grilled chicken sandwich 10/10 cheeseburger 9/10 fries 10/10 power bowl 8.8/10 house-broth ramyeon 10/10 Henry is back!

Our experience at Short & Main was abysmal. The manager was at the root of all the problems. It…read morestarted when we got to the restaurant 15 minutes ahead of our reservation. He pushed us towards the bar and we ordered drinks. After our 7:45 reservation came and went, a dish of almonds appeared where we were standing with our cocktails. We never ordered these, as I am allergic to tree nuts. We just pushed them to the side and thought nothing of it. When we eventually sat at a table for dinner, we ordered drinks, oysters, and two pizzas. One pizza has cheese and the other pizza (the Rosso) is only sprinkled with Parmesan, and is commonly known in Italy as a pizza senza formaggio. After waiting over 40 minutes for our food after being sat late, only the cheese pizza arrived. We waited over 20 minutes and talked to our waiter and kitchen multiple times to see what was going on with the other pizza. Apparently the pizza chef kept burning the cheese free pizza, an item on their menu that he is apparently not able to make. Finally the pizza was made, and the manager delivered it to the table next to us. They asked why they were given a pizza without cheese, and we had to walk over to the table to grab it. Our waiter came over and asked if everything turned out, and we shared we were disappointed the manager gave the pizza to the wrong table. He told us he had nothing to do with that and was embarrassed. After we started eating, our waiter came back to tell us the pizza and the almonds were comped. We had never ordered the almonds, and shared that we were surprised we would have been charged for something we never ordered and shared my allergies. He said it was the best his manager allowed him to do. Not once did the manager come by to apologize for delivering the pizza to the wrong table or for messing up our order or for making our experience so poor. To be "comped" something we didn't order as an apology for our table wait was absurd. Terrible experience, mediocre food, incompetent manager. Would not recommend.

No sushi! One of the biggest factors for stopping, the…read moreonline menu advertised sushi and American fare. To find out the Japanese rolls of euphoria were no longer served was the ultimate let down. However, our server explained why (Covid, expenses, etc.) and I couldn't fault them for doing what they could to stay open. However, what they did offer more than made up for it. Of course, my kids opted for the spaghetti and raves about how good it was. As spaghetti is a child's dish, I wasn't too impressed and didn't care. I chose the swordfish steak. With the help of my server I decided on medium and cooked in the advertised seafood sauce. My choice did not disappoint. Kind of tasted like a tuna steak, but it was my first time having swordfish and I didn't have any comparable sources. It was good though. The service was top notch, the menu offered enough to satisfy any diner, and the service was impeccable. Three stars because the interior of the restaurant and the menu are in desperate need of an update.

We did not order any special cocktails. They didn't have a huge list to begin with. Only a few beers on draft. The have the 2nd level ropes off ( where the ghost was seen) we saw no one going up there. ( not even staff). We sat at a booth high top style table. It was cool how they had seating at the bar and it's right by the kitchen. Our service was good. Very prompt and polite. Our friends ordered the calamari app and bread. Which the bread does run $4 but so worth it! So fluffy and freshly made. We all ate something seafood related. I definitely thought bigger than my belly. I had the fried fish sandwich with cheddar cheese on brioche bread. Comes with 2 sides: picked the garlic & buttered spinach and a baked potato. The sandwich did have a side of what tasted like their own house made tartar sauce. One of our guests split a cobb salad and another one ordered fish n chips that they all enjoyed.

They have the best chowder in the downtown area of Gloucester if you are walking around the harbor…read moreand shopping but don't want to get in your car again. The restaurant is pretty big and the wait staff are really nice and friendly. The menu is good sized, reasonably priced for the portions and delicious. You can eat out on their deck or there's a nice view of the harbor. There are two bars and I imagine it gets pretty packed in the summer. I send people here when asked where to go for standard fish and chips fare and feel vindicated now that I've returned in the off season. On the negative side- the vibe is corporate- like you're eating in a hotel lobby in the Midwest. There was one piece of art that looked local and if not for that, you could have been anywhere. Not a damning criticism but also the music made me feel like I was in Ohio not Gloucester. Someone had the station on contemporary country and it was loud. Men singing about going home with drunk women with low self esteem and trying to win back custody of their kids- it's the worst vibe for me. I kept looking at the waitresses trying to determine which one I could pay to change it. If the food wasn't so good and the staff wasn't so nice I would have left. There were so few other customers compared to the other restaurants we passed by I wondered if it was because the music was the reason. There's a way to say "we are a working class hangout " without blasting music that glorifies heavy drinking and dim wits in the background. The restaurant owners have curated every other aspect of the experience- they should go to Oak to Ember or the Franklin at night and realize that the music in addition to the atmosphere makes it or breaks it.

Nice location and nice staff, but the food was disappointing…read more The seaside pub atmosphere made me optimistic and warm service made me optimistic, but as soon as the lobster rolls arrived I knew it would be underwhelming. The lobster was dry, gummy and the meat pieces were small and sparse. For $40, which is more than a lobster roll with 4 times the meat and 10 times the quality costs in Boston, it was a bit of a rip-off. On the positive side, the tater tots were great. They were crispy and served piping hot fresh. They probably came from a frozen bag, but they were made well. The fish chowder was not bad. Although the soup was not very rich and somewhat underseasoned, the fish seemed fresh and was flaky and tasty. Fries were not great (likely also from a bag, under seasoned, fast-food thin, and served lukewarm). The atmosphere may merit a visit for drinks, but food may be a gamble.
