It can get fairly busy, but the line moves quickly, and the food is brought out in a timely manner. The market works that where you order/pay at the counter and then your food is brought out to your table. The menu is limited but the quality of the food is great. I ordered a nova lox and cream cheese sandwich served on a toasted everything bagel with lettuce, tomato, and onion. The portion of Lox given was generous and the sandwich as a whole was delicious. Be sure to check their hours as they vary depending on day and season!

**Great GF wraps and a salad bar - unsure of cross contamination…read more Haven't been here in a while, but nothing has changed. Except the addition for gluten free wraps which were awesome. I was so excited to the sign that I ended up ordering the wrong sandwich ... why did I get the grilled chicken mozz and honey mustard? There's too many other good sandwiches to order! The salad bar is KEY. It has everything you can imagine, but be careful. It's weighed at the end of the for cost. We ate inside because it was hot - plenty of seating inside. A good amount of tables outside on the side walk. Friendly, quick service. And in a great location to walk around town! Parking can be tough as it's all street parking, but on that side of the green you can usually find a spot!

BUT , last week I ordered a sandwich to go and it was awful - I ordered BLT - The small portion of bacon on the sandwich was burnt , the tomato was mushy and the worst part was the bread / grinder roll was not fresh ! Had I not ordered it to go , I would have returned it - Unfortunately I wasn't in the area when I unwrapped it . - I will try Shoreline Cafe again but common Shoreline, you can't serve customers grinders like this - If I want 2 day old bread, I can get that at home !

It definitely has that neighborhood regulars vibe, although I did feel a little out of place with some of the stares from the locals. Not necessarily the most welcoming first impression, but overall an okay experience. Nothing that would have me rushing back, but not a bad spot either. Just a heads-up, it's cash only!

Saturday night on the shoreline usually means long waits, crowded lobbies, and hungry…read moredisappointment... but not at J&M Dockside. After being turned away from Aqua (one hour wait and no option for a reservation) and prepping ourselves for the usual hike to Shanks, we stumbled across this spot, and honestly, what a win. There was no line, no wait, and plenty of open tables right by the dock. Everyone was posted up with drinks in hand, and since it's BYOB, the vibe was relaxed and personal, like a backyard party with waterfront views. We grabbed a seat and were helped quickly by a super friendly staff. The energy was low key in the best way. The food surprised us in all the right ways. I started with the clam chowder, which was a little salty, but still really good: thick, creamy, and satisfying. My friend ordered the salmon sandwich, and we both agreed it was excellent. The fish was fresh, flaky, and seasoned well, served on a soft bun that held up perfectly. The chicken tenders, turned out to be real cuts of chicken, not the frozen kind, which made a big difference. The sweet potato fries were crisp, hot, and the perfect side. We had a great time without any of the stress that usually comes with trying to eat out on a summer Saturday night. Fast service, good food, friendly people, and no wait? That's rare on the shoreline. I'll absolutely be back, and next time I'm bringing my own bottle of rose too.

The Wharf is inside the beautiful Madison Beach Hotel, with the perfect setting right by the water…read more I love the atmosphere and we've been here 3 times already this summer. Outside on the covered porch, they have both dining tables and high tops facing the water. The outdoor space is limited and they have tables inside as well, but I'd recommend the outdoor seating on a nice day, if you're dining alone or with up to 2-3 people. My favorites are the New England Clam Chowder and Lobster Roll. Their fries aren't my favorite and even though I'm not a huge fan of truffles, their truffle fries were also quite good. One thing to note is that the service level has varied. Sometimes it's been quite slow and we've also had a mix-up with the order. If they raised the service level, it'd feel even more upscale.

The staff are lovely. I have been going weekly for 2+ yrs & i have had nothing but kind, helpful, courteous, efficient service. Not sure why they accuse staff of being rude. The cook is a quiet, kind & genteel man. Perhaps ppl should pay a bit more attention & just be polite & kind to others instead of making snap judgements. Open only until 2 pm (sunday 1 pm).
