    Mindoro crap. - Three fried dumplings with a golden-brown crust are placed in a foil container, likely for takeout.

    This was the worst Chinese food I've had in years. I gave it two stars because The Szechuan chicken looked amazing, but had zero flavor and zero spiciness it might as well been dipped in cold tea water. The fried dumplings were disgusting,greasy flat and soggy. I've attached a picture of what I got and what they should look like. The fried rice was equally as disgusting and greasy.

    The best place for oriental cuisine. The food is always piping hot and full of flavor. The restaurant itself has a fun atmosphere.

    Stumbled upon this place thanks to my GPS which directed us to the nearest Friendly's after an…read moreafternoon spent at the (highly recommended) Halibut State Park nearby...figured most of the restaurants in this town were likely to be tourist traps, so better to stick with the devil we know. Well, right next to Friendly's sharing the same parking lot was this place, and have to admit the "All you can eat sushi" flashing neon sign reeled me in! The sushi turned out to be so-so, about what you'd expect at such a low price, not quite as good as that of a real sushi specialist restaurant, and maybe comparable to the pre-made sushi found at Whole Foods...if I were truly starving and had snarfed down 4 plates instead of 2 (about 30-40 pieces in all) it would've been truly a bargain. Since I was only moderately hungry and didn't want to overstuff myself, it was a middling deal. My dining companion ordered Chinese food, it was pretty decent for the kind of Americanized quasi-Chinese you'd expect in such a place, and the prices were very good which I found remarkable given the high tourist-trap quotient of the area. Only criticism is that the "green tea ice cream" didn't taste like it contained any green tea at all, just green coloring, which was perhaps why it was served with tons of whipped cream and chocolate syrup. But a huge portion at such a low price, we couldn't complain really. Service was excellent, we had a nice and attentive waiter. I'd certainly consider revisiting this place next time I'm in the area. PS. Extra bonus: due to being adjacent to Friendly's, you get a nice strong signal from the latter's free wi-fi!

The wait was a little long for the fact that we were the only ones eating in the place other than a few takeout orders. Everything was good but, we were definitely missing a few items we marked down. I liked that they offered a few appetizers on the menu so it wasn't all sushi (soup, spring rolls, rangoons, gyoza, tempura). We did go to use the menu a second time for a few extra pieces and a dessert selection. They acted a little weird about that so, not sure if you are supposed to order everything upfront. They were out of fried ice cream, which was a big upset to my husband. We opted to try the fried banana in its place and it was good. They were not very friendly but, they were accommodating to my 2yo and let her pick off ours for free. I would have just ordered a plate of hot food for her as there was no kids price. When I was asking, they were explaining it would still be full price but, thankfully the sushi chef started laughing and said it was fine. I felt guilty asking the waiter for anything. He was an odd mix of watching us, but not very available and it took them a long time to come to the table at first. It's the same owners as Ocean Garden and we love the takeout there. This location is always dead. I'm not sure it'll survive there.

Right off the bat, the prices alone make Short & Main a tough place to recommend. $14 for two meatballs and a slice of bread, $17 for a cocktail, $13 for a mocktail, and $23 for the base Ricardo pizza - plus another $6 for a tiny portion of sausage- felt steep. If pizza is meant to be the star of the restaurant, it should be unforgettable. Instead, it was just... fine. It's hard for me to hone in on the special qualities of any of the food because frankly there wasn't any. Perfectly serviceable, but nowhere near worth the markup.

The dining area is dimly romantically lit. They have a nice bar area for a solo dining experience or for waiting before being seated. I love to have the menu highlighted local oyster Farms, and even listed the farmers for all of their offerings. We started our meal with an order of bread, salad, oysters, and meatballs, and chose the Ricardo pizza for our main course. Dinner concluded with the Basque cheesecake with lemon curd and an espresso. Definitively should have opted for the tiramisu. The oysters were fresh and briney, a highlight of our meal, being so close to the ocean. The rest of the meal was just OK. The Basque cheesecake was a bit bland and probably could not stand by itself, but the lemon curd and they Maldon salt flakes elevated the entire dish. We enjoyed ourselves for dinner and would definitely come again when we're in town next.

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.

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.

We dined with some friends and everybody enjoyed their cocktails and food. I started with the bang bang shrimp appetizer. What a bargain for $18! There were maybe 8-10 very large shrimp, and they were perfectly cooked. The fried haddock/chips was great, fish was crispy and delicious, but unfortunately the fries were not good and did not match the caliber of the food served.
