Very nice water view. We came here for New Year’s Day brunch and it was very nice. The food was decent, the unlimited mimosas were a great idea. I’ll return, but not for brunch, as buffets aren’t really my thing.

Great experience at the restraunt. Food was delicious the service was warm and welcoming. The owner actually came by and said hello. Hats off to the head chef there. All the food was delicious. (The tips were to die for) Wide variety of seafood dishes fresh from the harbor. Would dine again

Very friendly service and nice location right on the water. Ordered the sampler plate. Stuffed quahog and chowder were delicious and i would absolutely order them again, crab cakes were sub-par. Location had ample seating around lunchtime on a weekday.

The food was wonderful. I had the scallops, my husband had calamari and we shared the tomato salad. We sat outside, with a beautiful view of the working ships. (Inside has a view as well.) The staff were nice. I would recommend having a meal here or enjoy their bar- also has a view.

We had lunch here and ordered the seafood sampler which consisted of a crab cake, stuffed quahog and chowder. Everything was okay, nothing had any big flavors or zing to it. The server, bartender and atmosphere were all great!

Had brunch there for the 1st time. Food was good . Service was good. The only issue I had was we had a 18 month old & was charged a kid plate when she pretty much ate a 1/2 of a donut. It doesn’t specify on flyer the age for kids. But other than that it was good.

We had the brunch here, and it was excellent. The warming trays were always filled, and I never had to wait for them to be refilled.

We held three events the weekend of May 13-15 at Merrill’s and each one ran smoothly. The food was delicious, the servers and bartenders friendly and helpful. Special shout out to Tyler, the events manager, for making all my requests happen. Wish we lived closer to visit more often. Instead will have many happy memories of how Merrill’s helped make a wedding weekend perfect.
