- JJaneGreater Boston •23 reviews5.0Dined 4 days agoBolognese is one of my favorite Italian dishes; Massimo’s was exceptional as the penne pasta was “home made” plus a choice of serving sizes. My husband looks forward to the veal chop which was also done just as he had requested, rare and charred on the outside. The dining room is very cozy, we felt like we were in Italy.More infoRistorante MassimoPrice: Expensive• Italian• Portsmouth•4.8
- GGeraldineGreater Boston •3 reviews5.0Dined 5 days agoIt was our 37th Wedding Anniversary and when we were seated, along came 2 glasses of bubbly and a congratulatory greeting from our Server. We had a sensational 4 course meal and at the end of the meal we were again surprised by a gorgeous, complimentary dessert “warm donuts with ice cream and chocolate script “Happy Anniversary”! What an incredible restaurant and Staff. We have a reservation pre- New Years Eve celebration, with our daughter and partner. It’s her Birthday dinner and it’s a surprise right now. Wonderful experience, thank you “Earth”!More infoEarth at Hidden PondPrice: Very Expensive• Contemporary American• Kennebunkport•4.8
- PPatrickTampa / Central Florida West •3 reviews5.0Dined 5 days agoRow 34 always delivers!! We had an amazing dinner and feasted on oysters, tuna tar-tar, calamari, dinner rolls, corn bread, chowda, and lobster rolls. The warm lobster roll is my absolute favorite at Row 34. I had some colleagues in town for some business meetings and Row 34 was my 1st thought for an amazing dinner. The ambiance is perfect for dinner out, great music in the background and just a great vibe. Don’t forget to get a chocolate chip cookie or the butterscotch pudding!!More infoRow 34 - PortsmouthPrice: Expensive• Seafood• Portsmouth•4.6
- KKenvipGreater Boston •28 reviews5.0Dined 6 days agoFrom RJ’s greeting to Julia and others’ splendid service…welcoming ambiance, great food. We had the pork pave, their great skinny fries, their delicious toasted almond drink, and oh by the way some super homemade ice cream (simple delicious vanilla for me). Don’t go too often!—we want to be able to get in from our home an hour away. 🙂More infoThe Carriage HousePrice: Expensive• Contemporary American• Rye•4.9
- CColleenNew Hampshire •1 review5.0Dined on Nov 13, 2024We often meet at Atlantic Grill as a group for dinner and it is always an enjoyable experience that's why we keep coming back. I personally love the seafood chowder and the shrimp scampi I think they are the best on the Seacoast! I usually order an appetizer for us to share which is always good and makes the experience more fun! Our server last evening was Mel and she was great as are all the staff. We were seated near the fireplace which was so cozy on a chilly night. I recommend Atlantic Grill to everyone as a great seafood restaurant with great ambiance and well made food and drinks! See you soon!More infoAtlantic Grill RestaurantPrice: Expensive• Seafood• Rye•4.6
