Best Romantic Restaurants in Fairhaven

Another great experience at Sail Loft for Valentine’s Day. Really nice, lovely atmosphere (not too stuffy and Valentine’s Day serious) and our meals were excellent. Started with drinks. The girlfriend had a spicy coconut margarita with a tajin rim, was delicious. For apps we had calamari and lobster rangoon, both were great. Main meal, we split a large piece of sautéed cod over asparagus and cauliflower mashed. So tender and well seasoned. Capped the night by splitting a slice of chocolate cookie crusted cheesecake served on top of a luxardo cherry puree. I can’t put into words how incredible it was. We love this place, it never disappoints. They put so much care and culinary talent into everything they serve. If you’re wondering whether to go to Sail Loft, stop wondering and just go. You won’t be disappointed.

We visited the Black Whale on Valentine’s Day. We had a reservation for 6:30 and were seated at 7:00. The place was mobbed so we anticipated a delay. Once we were seated, we were given 2 glasses of champagne for the delay which was totally unexpected. It was a very nice gesture. Our server Amy was exceptional. She was so pleasant and professional. All the staff were top notch and pleasant. We started with the boom boom shrimp which were delicious with a nice kick. I had the steak frites and it was perfection. It’s always an exceptional cut and cooked just the way I like it. My husband ordered the lobster thermidor which he said was delicious. If you’re up for a delicious dinner with exceptional service, this is the place.

Although I have lived in the area for years, this was the first time going to Cork. The waiter was friendly, professional, and attentive. We had two entrees, the lamb and the scallops. Both were cooked perfectly. We did not leave a morsel on the plate. We also tried a new wine that is now our favorite. We will definately be going back soon. Top notch ambiance, service, and food.

The food, the ambience, and the service is ALWAYS incredibly good. Going to Bocca is like going home - always welcoming and always warm and wonderful! If I were allowed one suggestion it would be: please ask people to refrain from talking on or engaging their cell phones while dining. There was a person near me who was dining alone. His entire time was spent watching rather loud videos. While I requested that the server ask him to lower the volume, it was disruptive nonetheless. Perhaps it’s just the way or the world…. The meal was still fabulous!

Took my mother here during a short visit. We had such a lovely experience. From the wonderful hostess that joked with us despite a high degree of cheesiness to every single lovely person that came to our table it was a true pleasure. I got a very playful Italian white and my mother got the most sublime martini called the butterfly. Look it up or just order it. Our food was insanely delicious. We ordered: whipped ricotta, arugula salad, osso buck and the cacio e pepe. All of these meals had such delicious elements to them (just go look at the dang menu already!). Refined yet incredibly comforting. Our eyes were bigger that our stomachs, so the value from what we ordered is almost as amazing as everything tasted. Decor is fabtastic and such a lovely atmosphere. One of the cooler bars around that I’ve seen. Treat yourself to a fantastic meal here - will make your day.
