    Well done steak tips that were $30 bucks.
    Cherie J.

    Went on 7/31/2025 with my wife. If I could give less than 1 star I would. Started with the fried cheese curd. Something was a bit off other than being cold on the inside. Sent back, came out hotter but something was off. The taste of the cheese was just not good at all. My wife ate it bc she didn't want to complain again. She ordered the macaroni and cheese & I ordered the steak tips, medium with tater tots and broccolini. Food came, and my $30 steak tips were well done. Tater tots were crispy. Whatever...I ate it. My wife's macaroni and cheese was inedible. She had like 4 bites and told me to be quiet. I told her not to bring it home as I didn't want it to sit in the fridge as we already put the trash out for tomorrow's pickup. She felt bad and asked for a box so we brought it home. When we got to car, she started gagging and ended up puking out the car door and then into a doggie poop bag on the way home. I pulled right up on the curb at home, next to trash and she dumped it! We will never go to The Spot again. EVER...

    Expensive yet tasty, not a lot of choices on food but very yummy dishes. I recommend the churros for desert and Cesar salad. 8/10.

    I'm fairly new to the area and after trying out a few local restaurants that were just "blah" I…read morestumbled across this quaint little gem. We did not have a reservation as it was a Wednesday night and I figured we didn't need one but lucky for us the young girl who greeted us quickly found us a table. Shortly after we were greeted by our waitress Cathy, or Christy? I don't normally do restaurant reviews because I find it a bit tacky but our experience here was something I will never forget. I have food allergies and our waitress took the time to go through the entire menu with us without making us feel like a burden. She was wonderful attentive, and made us feel like family. We got the Salmon dish, it was cooked to perfection and the filet mignon, which was equally as great. Our waitress recommended Key Lime pie for dessert and it was delicious. Everything about this restaurant is spot on. We will be back.

The restaurant was remodeled and the food was the same as I remember it from years ago. Blue greay walls and bar redone and lightning redone and booths redone! The upstairs is being redone as well. Its a pleasure to have a great meal... And it was quiet and slow! Votive candles on bar as well. Bathroom redone as well. Food comes out quickly and ..the Slade was huge! Such a pleasure to stop by again!

    I really wanted to love this place, but it has fallen a little short for me both times I have…read morevisited. When you walk in, the place is beautiful- sort of modern rustic chic with beautiful string lights. We ordered mussels and wine to start. Mussels were fantastic. Meaty, flavorful and plenty for everyone. The entree is where it fell short for me. I got the shrimp pasta. While the flavor was there, when I cut into the shrimp they still looked pretty translucent to me. After eating one and cutting up a few others, I felt that they were undercooked. The waitress said they wouldn't cook them more but she could bring the plate back and ask if they were cooked through. My plate came back and I was told they were cook so I sat there pushing soft, nasty shrimp around my plate while just eating spaghetti. My boyfriend asked for a medium burger and it was definitely rare to medium rare. When this happens, generally you offer to bring out new protein cooked again or ask if the guest wants something else but I was just left to feel like I was nuts. Whatever, into dessert. Now for dessert, I thought we'd try the cookies and ice cream. cookies were completely raw ( not just soft) and also not hot and the ice cream on the plate looked like it was pre scooped and refrozen. While I loved the concept of this place. Relaxing getaway where you can just do it all onsite, I honestly would spare yourselves the experience of the restaurant or order fish and chips or fried chicken) and just dine in Newburyport.

    This is a must try! The food here is all farm to table and it did not disappoint. The flavors are…read moreincredible. When we went, we didn't have a reservation and were still able to get seated immediately. Service was great. Prices were very reasonable for such fresh food. We will be back!
