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 went to try Choate Bridge Pub in Ipswich with a couple of friends last week. I hadn't been for a…read morefew years. It's just as great as it always was. The food was great, fresh, and hot. Even the coleslaw and tartar sauce were made with care. The servers hustle like crazy. They treat you like good friends. Some diners may have frowned on service. Those girls never stopped, and they smiled and laughed. (Who doesn't need that these days?) It's sea scallop season, so even those scallops are expensive I had to do it. The scallop dinner w/fries and onion strings was a bit over $35, but there were 14 huge, right off the boat succulent scallops. The burgers also looked great. Get on over there.

I was told by everyone for the Best Fried Clams go to the Choate Bridge Pub and they were right. The portions of clams was overwhelming sweet clams with a roll, butter and a salad for a great price worth the money. This is a local restaurant that's doesn't need notoriety from the past. A simple place to eat good quality food, the staff very friendly along with a great atmosphere. So I recommend Choate Bridge Pub find a place to park and enjoy.

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.

I told the young waitress I didn't like it..she offered nothing..didn't suggest anything..not sure how to handle the situation..but finally suggested some soda bread?? To make up for the soggy mess I was trying to choke down?? Then slowly backed away from the table all wide eyed! No discount or removal of the pot pie from the bill.

We ordered a few things to split and went off of what we saw at other tables. So many people had the pizzas so we had to give it a go. The French onion soup was fantastic and rich. The Ceaser salad was good, and not too intense but it was garlicky and had homemade hand ripped croutons. We were starving so we ordered the Brussels sprouts on a whim and it was incredible! The umami flavor and sou sauce ginger aioli with the pickled onions was so unexpected we almost ordered one to go. Lastly was the pizza, the dough is great and sadly we didn't get to try their red sauce but the pizza was excellent. They have a huge beer selection and we loved seeing their on tap selection. Definitely recommend getting a reservation since they never had empty tables but there wasn't a line out the door. There are two sides to the restaurant and the bar is big and well staffed. We waited about 15 minutes to get water or see any one at our table but that's because we came at 6:30 pm on a Saturday and they were absolutely busy. Once we saw our waitress and got our order in it was quick and smooth sailing. Highly recommend grabbing a seat at the high tops and enjoying your time.

Dear Greedy Management,…read more We have been going to the Post for years,and the Black cow before that. We love the ambiance, food and service even though it is a bit pricey. I'm not sure when it started,hadn't been there for a few months,but we got a 3% extra charge on our bill for the "Kitchen staff". If you need to charge extra it should be added to the items ordered,not hidden until the bill is received !! I was so put out by this that I didn't dare mention it to our nice waitress as it wasn't her fault. It's not the lousy few bucks but the principle of it ! Next time I call for reservations I will ask if this 3% charge is gone. We will not be going back unless this hidden charge is eliminated. Thanks for listening, Frequent Customer
