We choose the Boathouse Bistro after a long walk yesterday at World's End. A gorgeous hike. First, the Bistro is covid/safety compliant. Sucks to have start a review like that but, hey. They have outdoor seating, weather permitting. We sat inside. Too windy. The vibe is casual but nice and bright with lots of windows. Tables are limited right now. Our server, Teresa, was very friendly as was her Mom, Tinka. She owns it with her husband Steve McCauley. Great people. Four of us dined. I had the short ribs with mashed. My wife had the mussels in white wine and a bowl of chicken soup. My friend had the spicy sausage and his wife had the Mussels in white wine with a side of linguine. We all started with the Calamari. Bevs were red wines, sangria and Jameson (that's me :) Everything was perfect and could not have been better or fresher. The calamari were lightly fried and extremely tender. If calamari are chewy, they are not fresh (and might not even be calamari. Look up fake calamari! Better yet, don't). The calamari were cooked with banana pepper and served with a smokey cream sauce. I wanted a bowl of it and a spoon! I do lots of braising (my Osso Bucco is to die for), and these short ribs were perfectly, fall apart tender. The mashed were creamy, buttery and delicious in a light gravy. The mussels were also fresh and tender and the chicken soup resembled a hearty tortilla soup without the tortilla chips. Delicious. Food and 2 rounds of drinks was about $200 with a generous tip. I was told they also have take dinner packages. I wish I lived closer. Try the Boathouse Bistro! You'll be happy you did.

It appeared we were the only 2 parties in that side of the restaurant, and there appeared to be one waitress working it. She was taking the other party's app and drink order. It seemed complicated, with lots of questions and clarifications back and forth. At one point the waitress looked at us and said "I'll be with you in just a moment." We said "no problem." She finished with that party and told us "I'll be right with you after I put in this food order." We say "ok." But she was gone a long time. She finally came back, with a couple drinks for the other party, talked to them a bit, then left again, telling us, again, she'd be right with us. Came back with 2 more drinks for the other party. And left again. At this point we have nothing but menus. No water, no popcorn, nothing. We're near the host stand, and I can see him, just standing there picking his fingernails. I'm thinking maybe he should pitch in if this one waitress is overwhelmed with this one other party. I keep nudging my wife, saying "let's leave and go somewhere else." She says no, so we wait. Finally, here comes the waitress... But she doesn't come to us! She goes to the OTHER party and asks "you ready to put the rest of your food in?" They don't even have their apps yet, and we have NOTHING after about fifteen minutes! We're listening to them order, and it sounds complicated again, things like "no pickles on it, but a side of pickles, please." We're rolling our eyes, can't believe she's STILL ignoring us after telling us multiple times she'll be right with us. But we figure she'll take our order right after she takes theirs, and we're ready. We know what we want and have no questions. NOPE. She walks away, saying nothing to us, after taking their second order. We got up and left. Nothing on the table but menus. Not even water. I told the host we were leaving because we couldn't get anyone to wait on us. If "I don't give a bleep" had a face, it would have been this guy's face. We went across the street to the Shipyard where we ordered food and alcohol for four, and wondered if the 99 waitress got a good enough tip from her one party to make up for the one she lost.

We're talking 30% price increases from one year ago ... and the quality has gobe DOWN since a venture capital group bought the brand! This used to be some of the most consistent pizza in New England. Its one of those places you miss more for nostalgia sake when you are away because you grew up eating it ... and it wasn't bad. When I moved back east from LA to escape the crime LA is now famous for, I loved Papa Ginos because it wasn't the sweet ketchup sugar sauce and bread-like sauce that most New England pizza joints are known for. The sauce has a little zing and the cheese doesn't taste like bulk bagged mozzarella. You could get a small for $7 and a large for $11 and there were usually coupons. Now, even with a 20% off coupon, you are paying gourmet pizza prices for essentially chain pizza. After seeing these price increases, they just lost me. I'm not cheap ... I will pay for artesinal quality ... but this isn't that. Good luck getting what used to be sit-down/homemade restaurant prices for inconsistent chain restaurant food Papa Ginos. This is what happen when large beancounter companies take over local ones.

This past Mother's Day, (yesterday 5/8/16) I took my mother and my mother in-law to The Quarry Restaurant for Brunch and it was fantastic. I had the lobster and eggs benedict with pancetta, baby spinach, roasted tomato topped with hollandaise sauce and home fries on the side, it was the best I have ever had. Both mothers chose the citrus glazed ham, with grilled asparagus and roasted potatoes. They both raved about the dish along with the glaze which had a bit of spice to it which neither mother usually likes, but enjoyed this sauce and dipped away with their ham. I was able to eat all of my delicious lobster and eggs, but the two mothers took theirs home because there was enough for a second meal for each of them. The Quarry (the building itself) is a wonderful setting for a lovey brunch (or dinner) with its high ceilings and warm décor. The place was packed with standing room only, so I was very glad I had made my reservation. The owners, Ron Leduc and his wife Julie have a gem of a place with wonderfully friendly and knowledgeable wait staff, scrumptious appetizers, excellent and interesting main courses (I almost had the lobster sliders, yum!), and to die for deserts, next time I will save room and get the Cider Donut Sundae for dessert. I can't wait for the patio to open for cocktails, apps and dining under the stars overlooking the calm waters of "actual" quarry, I'm relaxed already, just thinking about it! Chris L. read more

We sat outside overlooking the guarry now filled with water. Great outdoor atmospher, just what my wife was looking for. Wait staff very attentive and polite, along with a fun sense of humor. I ordered steak, cooked and seasoned perfectly. My wife ordered the gnocci dish which was melt in your mouth deliciuos. Wine and beer selection was good al well. Prices on the high side but the food and decor experience made it well worth the price. Great dining experience. You will not be disappointed. read more

So when it came time to plan our 50th high school reunion, the Quarry came immediately to mind. I can't say enough good things about the staff. They knew this was a special day for us and they went way above all expectations. They made us feel like royalty. The food was delicious, the room was beautiful. No one wanted to leave. We went into the bar and again the bartender there took such good care of us. He was delightful, a fantastic bartender and really seemed to enjoy this crowd of crazy women!

If you are near Hingham, this is a MUST!! From architecture to food to staff, this is a fabulous find! My daughter and I were given the job to plan and prep a baby shower here.

Everyone commented on the atmosphere and the food - we were blown away by the helpfulness and ease of working with all of the staff.

Before our visit, I called to ask about bar seating, but the response was confusing, leaving me uncertain about what to expect. The food was decent, and I particularly enjoyed the clam chowder and we only order apps for dinner, so can't speak on the main plates. However, the bar area felt a bit strange. The layout was awkward, and even sitting next to other guests, which is usually comfortable at a bar, felt uncomfortable here. It was completely isolated from the main dining room. Overall, this restaurant probably isn't for me or younger crowds. I might consider returning in the summer to try the outdoor seating area for drinks. read more

This month, we visited Boathouse Bistro Beachfront in Hull with a party of 8. I made a reservation for 6:00 pm, but we were seated in the bar area rather than the dining room, which was a bit disappointing. The food and service were perfectly fine, though not exceptional. When the check arrived, we found a mandatory 25% gratuity had been added. Our server did not mention it when she brought the check, and a simple heads-up that the tip was already included would have been appreciated. To be fair, the policy is printed on the menu, where it applies to "large parties" of 6 or more. Personally, I don't consider a party of 6 to be a large group, so this threshold may catch some diners off guard. We always pay in cash and are happy to leave a standard 20% tip for good service. A 25% automatic charge felt steep for an average experience, and it's higher than anything we've encountered at other South Shore restaurants. I'm sharing this so other groups know what to expect and aren't surprised when the bill arrives. If you're planning to dine here with 6 or more, check the menu for the policy ahead of time.

Bay Pointe removes both claws from the lobster which I appreciate and puts the whole claw meat under the stuffing mix. On this particular day only 1 claw was found. When I inquired about the missing claw I was told it was cut up in the stuffing mix. First of all, I have been to this restaurant many times ordering this same dish. So, tell me why 1 claw meat would be cut up and not the other one. Once the explanation was given it was utterly bull. I've never had the claw meat cut up and mixed in with the stuffing and as far as I'm concerned it should never be an option to do that. If so, I probably would not order this dish anymore. I want to see my claws in it's entirety and not cut up. Bottom line lobsters have 2 claws not 1. Both should have been in the dish and basically it wasn't. This will not deter me from coming to this establishment, but please think about your response before providing an answer that doesn't make any sense.

We started with sharing a bowl of AMAZING CLAM CHOWDER! Asked for it piping hot and it was just perfect.. not loaded with potatoes like most.. and so very tasty!! We both opted for the Philly cheesesteak.. mine in a wrap and his on a sub roll! We asked for red peppers instead of green and the kitchen was more than happy to accommodate us. Both were delicious and had FF and a great pickle! We will definitely be back.. the bar was fun with lots of people all chatting and having fun! Thank you to all those who made our lunch a memorable one.

My sister and I had dinner at the Scarlet Oak Tavern in Hingham after seeing a terrific performance…read moreof Abbamania at the Company Theater in Norwell. See my separate review of this wonderful musical performance. The Scarlet Oak Tavern is situated in an historic colonial house that has a fireplace and outdoor seating. The atmosphere here is always charming, wide plank wooden floors, cozy rooms, and plenty of them, and a charming bar. The servers are always polite and smiling. I have been here many times over the years with many different people, friends and family and it is fairly consistently wonderful. I don't recall having a bad meal here ever. There is a lovely room that has a fireplace when you first enter the establishment. It is especially nice in the winter when the fire is roaring and we have a toasty drink to make everything extra cozy. However, it is equally pleasant in May! My sister and I shared several appetizers, which together constituted a delicious meal for each of us. We ordered an appetizer called Bourbon Brown Sugar BBQ Ribs that came with four very meaty flavorful ribs. We ordered two separate sides of the delicious mashed potatoes that they serve at this establishment. We also ordered one very large crab cake appetizer we ate the crabcake first. We then placed the ribs on top of the mashed potatoes with a couple of the delicious pickles that were served with the ribs. It was absolutely scrumptious. See the photo! For dessert, I ordered a flourless Flourless Chocolate Cake with crumbled peanut brittle served with a generous scoop of vanilla bean ice cream. The cake was moist and delicious with almost a rich pudding consistency inside it contrasted amazingly well with a flavorful crunchy topping of peanut brittle and a smooth cold refreshing mound of ice cream. In a word this dessert was as maddeningly delicious as it sounds. Highly recommend!

We were first served a basket of complimentary warm cornbread with butter. Delicious! We each had a glass of red wine with our brie & carmelized onion burger. The burger was cooked to a perfect medium, as requested. Unfortunately, the service wasn't quite as good as the food. We requested side salads in lieu of fries & were not told there would be a $5 upcharge (each!). We also asked for our dressing to be on the side; it wasn't. Luckily, the salad wasn't heavily dressed so it was edible. The craisons & fried shallots were a nice touch. I had an Affogato for dessert & it was brought out with a candle & a "happy birthday" chocolate disc. My friend was charged twice on her credit card for this meal. We were told the extraneous charge had been removed at the restaurant, but it wasn't. My friend had to resolve it with her credit card company the next day. Atmosphere & food - 5 stars. Service - 3 stars.

Great to see Jayson, Lori (the fearless owners) and of course Lola on the premises.
