    The food was delicious. We chose the 3 course fondue. They had gluten free bread for the cheese course. There are also many gluten free items to choose from.

    A beautiful little place with delicious food and exceptional service. Everything hit or exceeded expectations from the calamari to the Gemelli. The desserts were incredible too and the espresso martinis are nothing to scoff at. An absolute hit for Hingham! Enjoy!

    I have been to the Surf many times and have never been disappointed. The food is fresh and delicious. The waitstaff, courteous and attentive. I highly recommend a trip there, especially for a special occasion. Can be a bit pricey but to get good fish anywhere is a bit pricey. This place is worth it.
