Dinner and service at 51 Rocky Neck was fabulous once again. Thank you for taking great care of us Michael for our birthday celebration. Crazy Pizza is still the best pizza on the North Shore and scallops were cooked to perfection. We are looking forward to joining you again. BRAVO!!

About the restaurant
Mile Marker One waterfront restaurant offers four season indoor dining and igloo dining on the marina with stunning views of fishing boats, some you'll recognize from television. We offer the freshest seafood, locally sourced direct from fishermen. The grass fed beef is amazing and you're never going to leave our restaurant hungry. We have fresh local clams, fresh local lobster, hake, halibut, and a stunning lobster grilled cheese sandwich with sage butter. We're about friends, family, fun and we even have music some Wednesdays. Local bartenders are always coming up with new drinks like our signature "Purple Rain." We host the Blue Fin Blowout each year in July.

We have been to Mile Marker several times and it never fails to be amazing! 2 of us had the Butternut seafood risotto, and if you like scallops, shrimp and mussels, along with the risotto, then this is something that you should have. Another had the crusted haddock and the other had the fish taco's. Anything that we have had, has always been great! The service matches the food.

About the restaurant
Surrounded by windows overlooking the Salem Harbor, Finz offers guests lively waterfront scenery in a comfortable open concept interior. Of particular note is the 40 seat bar which flows from dining room to lounge, floor to ceiling nautical wall, hand painted lobster octopus mural, open style kitchen and built-in raw and sushi bars. In warmer months, the outdoor patio dining along the water is superb, with spots in the shade or the sun to enjoy a libation or light bites. With events centered around local arts, Finz is the place to experience Salem.
