    Strawberry , lemons and vodka!!!
    Pat P.

    You just can't beat the ambiance of this place. Ocean view, sun, sand and good food. The French fries were incredible. The chef hand cuts the potatoes, they are so yummy. Alana served us, she is so sweet, knowledgeable and gave accurate recommendations. We will be back for sure.

    enjoyment at the beach

    actually, it was a very good place considering it was just a breach bar. But they had line dancing and it was awesome. I had the chicken fingers and chips and they were absolutely delicious. The french fries are unusual and very tasty. The iced tea was not southern enough for me and so switched to Diet Coke waitress was very very nice. Manager was very accommodating. Let us move to a cabana. I'm from Kansas City. We were thrilled to eat dinner at the beach.

    Lobster tacos, fish tacos, and fish and chips

    We stopped by Surfside after spending a few hours at Salisbury beach. We sat outside and it wasn't too hot since there was the nice sea breeze and shade. The food was delicious! We ordered the fish and lobster tacos, and the fish and chips. For drinks, we ordered the frozen piña colada and personally, it wasn't my favorite. The drink itself was thick and sort of gummy.

    Great views! Great service! Food was decent but there is something about eating seafood while looking at the sea that makes it better. Our waitress Gwen was awesome! Drinks could be better and bigger for the price. Overall good experience!

    two drinks on a table overlooking the ocean

    I always rate based on what I am rating. It Is a casual beach-side restaurant. The view is great. The drinks are strong, the food is yummy. The staff are nice. Every year we walk from Salisbury Beach Reservation to the boardwalk and stop Here. We really enjoy it for what it is . We have had the same waitress Sammy the last two years who is attentive and great.

    Cabana

    Lori and Justin were amazing!! Thank you for making our night so memorable. The cabana was the absolute best!!

    Deck dining

    Went for some outdoor dining - summer of COVID. Atmosphere is always beautiful. Staff wanted to be sure we were happy, so that was a plus. We had wings for an appetizer. They were good - I mean, they're wings. I had the blackened haddock tacos. So good! My friend had the lobster roll, no complaints on her side. My only disappointment was that the website said they closed at 9pm - we had 7:15 reservations. We were told they close at 8pm. So we felt rushed. Would have liked to spend a little time just relaxing and enjoying the view. Next time...

They also claim to be a sort of community gathering center. The coffee was ok! Local-ish Fazenda coffee. The lack of customer service was insane. There were staff available but I waited for a while at the counter for someone to notice me and take my order. I spent around $25 for 2 items, am injured with difficulty walking, and they wouldn't let me use the bathroom, hinting that they had one but not "for the public". Instead they directed me to a public restroom down the road with 4 stalls for hundreds of people at the beach. The açaí was good though. I guess you have to weigh the pros and cons.

I went to check in 10 min later and was again asked rudely by the manager on shift for my name to finally check the status. She took a good second to figure out the status and said it would be right out. Then, realized it was already sitting on the ready to go table where no one called our name. Sad establishment, but baristas were great. Feel bad for the nice baristas and workers there. Their manager needs to learn some customer service.

Our only real option was two seats at the bar. We had quick and attentive service from the bartender. Interesting offerings for cocktails, and we enjoyed our drinks. The food I think can be best described as American/Thai/Asian. Food came pretty fast, and we started with crab rangoon, and possibly the largest we have ever been served. Fried up crisp, not greasy and generously filled with cream cheese and real crab. Next up, we tried the Waygu burger which was quite good, nice toppings. My only complaint here was we wished the fries were fresh out of the fryer. I'm really fussy about fries and like them hot, crispy and fresh. Sadly, these were not. I had my eye on the Choco Taco for dessert, and this was a sophisticated version of the classic frozen treat you may have enjoyed from the ice cream truck as a kid. Home made with great ingredients, it was a perfect finish to a very nice meal. I would definitely give these guys a try when in Newburyport.
