Best Date Night Restaurants in Manchester-by-the-Sea

The decor was beautiful…we had brunch! Wonderful service by this young lady… patient with us ol ladies! Can’t wait to go back and have dinner.

One of the most carefully curated wine lists within the area. There’s a great mix of classical appellations and producers, along with, highlights of new talent and fresh styles of vinification. A lot of credit to Scott, whose affability and knowledge can always be counted on. Ledger is the perfect pairing for a wine afficanado of any standing. Food-wise, I’m always a fan of the Tuna Tartare and the Duck. I also highly recommend whatever the seasonal desert is.

The food was very good. The ambiance was lovely, quite festive! We wished that we were offered a glass of wine, since drinking a whole bottle would not have been wise since we drove from the Cape.It also would have made the $50 prix fix a little more of a value. I guessed, upon reflection, we could have gotten one from the bar but it wasn't offered? Our visit was slightly tainted because service was a lacking. I said things a couple of times but the server did not take the tIme to understand what I was trying to convey. For example: I asked for greek salad, but he was off and gone before I could ask for dressing on the side. Also, some oil had spilled and I asked if he could wipe it up before setting down dessert but he turned and took the dessert away!?? We did feel rushed, so that took away from the pleasantly if the visit.

First time there. Really extensive menu! Great service and good food.

The space exudes a warm, inviting energy, striking the perfect balance between liveliness and intimacy. The food and service were nothing short of phenomenal, making it an ideal spot for a memorable date night.
