I went for lunch and…read morefigured they'd have a lunch menu but also the option of ordering the "real" items that are on the dinner menu since they're open continuously with no distinct break between lunch and dinner. But I was disappointed in my hopes. The menu was fine but also not terribly interesting. Just regular American. And I'd come for something more than that. So ... 3/5 experience for me. When I try it in the evening perhaps my take will alter. Service was a bit slow but it was also quite busy so perhaps understandable.

The wife and I were looking for waterfront dining. This place has great outdoor eating vibes. We…read moresat on the lower deck while the live music played upstairs. The music was good, and not too loud or overbearing. Not so much a place for sunset viewing as you face the river with Newburyport on the other side and the view facing West is actually the bridge. Food and service were both great. I agree with one of the other reviews - the blue cheese burger was one of the best I have ever had and the ahi nachos appetizer was also very tasty. The wait for the table was reasonable and we grabbed a drink at the bar and were called faster than anticipated. Sat on the rail - looking at the river. Server was pretty busy, but did a fine job, and was friendly even though we could tell she was super busy. Very enjoyable date night.

My Son asked me to find a Restaurant that we could all go to on Father's Day, so after an extensive…read moresearch online I came up with 3 nearby Restaurants that I've never been to! The River House in Portsmouth, Tuna Striker Pub on Seabrook Harbor and lastly The Deck in Salisbury overlooking the Merrimack River and Newburyport Harbor! He chose The Deck in Salisbury and I agreed bc it's in a great location with beautiful views! When we got there their Parking Lot was full but they had additional parking across Rt.1 where they offered a golf cart shuttle to the Restaurant! We decided to just walk over! The Deck was very busy probably bc it's Father's Day! We were seated at a high top table, enjoyed the views and were amazed at the number of staff they had maneuvering around the tables, with precision I might add, delivering food to the tables! It was quite an impressive sight! Our Waitress was very pleasant, welcomed us and was attentive throughout our visit! There were six of us and we chose the following menu items...My Daughter in Law chose the "Caprese Salad w/grilled Chicken, the Grand Children had a Cheeseburger and the oldest a Lobster Roll, his favorite, which by the way can be ordered warm w/Butter MKT Price which our Waitress said was $48, it seems to be the going price right now in better restaurants! It was a decent portion of Lobster meat! My significant other and Son both opted for the fried Scallops , hers with Onion Rings, which were fried in a light batter and tasty, his with Fries! The Scallops were excellent, fried in a light batter and delicious! I chose the "Deck Blues Burger" which was one of the best Burgers I've ever had and grilled medium to perfection! The food all around was excellent and when you add the beautiful views it made for one of the most memorable Father's Day's! We highly recommend "The Deck" and it will become one of our favorite dining spots in the future! Food...5 Vibe....5 Staff...5

Mission Oak had the perfect spot for a large group that didn't require a separate room, yet still had a large table in a semi-private space that made you feel like part of the restaurant but also you could get up and walk around to chat. The service was wonderful. Our server, Francisco, adeptly handled our large group-- he was efficient, intuitive of our needs and kind. Danielle, the manager, made sure we had absolutely everything we needed. The food was wonderful...some favorites included the lobster rangoons, the clam chowder, and the haddock. Thank you to the entire staff for making our evening so special and memorable!

She explained special was 18oz ribeye with roasted brussel sprouts, baked potato & onion strings for $68. Hubby & I decided to split this meal. Pre-ordered 2 salads which were decent. When time to order, waiter said special was 18oz ribeye with asparagus and mashed potatoes. Explained what front desk woman had stated special to be and we wanted what she explained. Because of this & other changes to meals, I kindly asked him to write the orders down. He said, "no worries I got this." Guess what, he didn't got it. Female companion ordered Sesame Bowl with salmon. Our $68 meal came -- potato was starchy (old) and not warm. Brussel sprouts were hard. The meat--no way was it an 18oz (even cooked down) piece of meat. Was cut very thin & barely enough for one person. Didn't receive onion strings. Female companion got her sesame bowl, but WITHOUT the salmon. Had to wait another 10min because we kept hearing "the kitchen was backed up". Really bad performance with $300+ bill to show for it. Wouldn't mind paying if it was worth it, but they really missed the mark. I emailed restaurant to explain situation, but never heard from them, so need to share my experience via YELP. Sorry MOG we won't be back, but need to share the final nail in the coffin---there was gum under the table where I sat (2nd seat in from the left if facing circular table). Just gross.

(It's literally a window outdoors that you walk up to and place / receive your order.) We will definitely go back for a casual outdoor meal that allowed for our dog to be present. The gals at the window were friendly and eager enough to please.

One of the great traditions of Newburyport is the Starboard Galley. My wife's family has gone to it…read morefor nearly 40 years. It is old school. It is one of a handful of restaurants in Newburyport that continued strong (Park Lunch, the Grog, Thirsty Whale). It has a view of the Merrimac river and is next to the rail trail. The inside decor is classic and probably hasn't changed in decades, but it is comfortable and has that Oceanside charm. The service is always good. Christin has been our server a couple times and she is wonderful - funny, attentive and suggestions. You're always seated quickly. We sat on the outside, covered seating. The food is classic. We started with their clam chowder. That is excellent. The stuffed clams are probably the best in Newburyport. The iceberg wedge salad is amazing with generous blue cheese and bacon on a nice crispy wedge. Probably one of the best values in Newburyport. The onion rings are crispy and tasty. The fried clams are some of the best in the city. You can get a Budweiser for under six dollars. The prices are a good value with lots of good food. Don't expect fancy. But if you want to have an old school seafood meal, the Starboard Galley is the right place. If you want to grab a beer at there, old bar, enjoy it at a great price point.

Chicken pot pie top looked like it died of freezer burn…read more Plentiful chunks of chicken were hard and dry, as were the peas, carrots etc. Garlic mashed potatoes were thick and heavy like mortar made by Elmers.
