Best Seasonal Restaurants in Dartmouth

Love me some Joe’s! Well, any of Steve’s places you can’t go wrong with! Im obsessed with them all! The waitress was super friendly- loved her! She didn’t rush us, which I loved because I went with a friend who I haven’t seen in a long time so we needed that time to just catch up. Everything was so good from the drinks to the food and of coarse the  focaccia bread and oil was amazing! I even had to bring some home for my husband. Can’t go to Joe’s without bringing some bread/oil home with you- it’s the only carbs that are worth it!

Great food, very fresh. Great menu and ambience and location

When you find yourself in New Bedford, MA, treat yourself to a meal at The Black Whale. Extremely convenient location, plenty of parking and a beautiful building make a great first impression. We were warmly greeted by a Manager and a Server, and even though we were 40 minutes early, they sat us straight away. The menu is extensive, however, not overwhelming, and SO many great choices. Our Server, Meredith was very warm and welcoming, starting us off with water and their delectable salmon dip with tasty “crackers”. To aid the decision making process, my wife started with a Painkiller, and I a Maine Lunch. We finally decided on the tuna poke bowl for my wife and the pan-seared scallops for me. Oh, and I had to try the New England Clam Chowder, the best I have had in quite some time. Then Meredith informed me the chowder is an Officials and People’s choice award winner from this year’s festival. Please do try it! Honestly one of the most delightful, delicious and enjoyable meals I’ve had in the area. The Black Whale is definitely a must do when you find yourself in the New Bedford area, or you are just passing through.

Cisco Kitchen held a New Year's Sushi Brunch that was excellent. Their sushi is always good but the brunch took it to another level - Selection of different sushis, different noodle dishes, miso soup and other Asian dishes. All for $30 per person which is a genuine bargain. I'm glad we were able to attend - Thank you Cisco kitchen and your chefs!

Good service, tasty appetizer and meal. Music/vocals much too loud for size of dining area.
