The other reviews were right! The french toast bagel was awesome! Bought an assortment (wish I bought a few more of the french toast ones!) along with their homemade cream cheese. Yum! Ate them at our AirBnb - not much seating, although thereâs a beautiful courtyard nearby.

Good food, courteous staff, fair prices. Full of locals which usually means consistent food quality. We always look for a restaurant with a lot of locals. We had chicken salad and tuna salad. Pretty normal fair. The freshness was noticeable. The chicken salad was homemade. The place was packed for lunch and it was past 2:00 oâclock. An Enjoyable quick meal.

We visited this restaurant for lunch on s day when every other place in town was closed due to a two day blackout. We came into the place after a large lunch rush. You would have expected the place to be a little stressed but we were pleasantly surprised. You could tell the wait staff was tired but they were really pleasant. My wife had a Ruben and I had tuna melt. We were both pleased with the meals. Service was quick and as I said pleasant. The also have an extensive breakfast menu and is known as a great place for a sit down breakfast. Itâs worth a stop if you are looking for a relaxed meal. They do not serve dinner.

We had a delicious lunch here while passing through Amesbury. I had the fish and chips which were "non-traditional"; chunks of cornmeal-breaded haddock which were tender and very flavorful. I opted for the sweet potato fries which were also very tasty. Our service was friendly and attentive. Worth a stop if you're in the area.

Weâre locals (for the past 5 years at least), we have always tried to love it here since the atmosphere is fun, the beer is good and itâs a town staple. That being said, the hosts are always so disappointing in welcoming and accommodating us when we bring our child. I get that itâs a great bar, however they have a childrens menu and we are never the only family there, yet weâre always are made to feel like having our child is an inconvenience and are always given crappy seating even when booths which we kindly request are readily available. It sets us up for an unpleasant experience and this time I just had to write about it to save another potential family of diners to go elsewhere. Whispering and debating an appropriate table for us âsomewhere in the backâ isnât a warm welcome, and itâs not the first time weâve had this experience when trying to be seated. The food is fine, nothing special and it always has an odd greasy texture and taste, but the beer is good, thereâs usually a good cider on tap (not this week) and a nice selection of wine. The dessert is another thing thatâs just fine, but theyâre way overpriced! Overall, I recommend trying the starlight or sticking to flatbread if you are dining with your littles and want to feel welcome and get good food.

I have been to crave on multiple occasion, restaurant and pub setting. Both are amazing and similar menu. The beef tartar and oysters are my go to, but have tried countless other offering on the menu that never disappoint myself or friends. And the drinks are always fun and inventive!

A unique brick building w/tin ceilings set within a neighborhood. Formerly an appliance store, there is a cut out in the wood floors where the lift use to be to bring items up from or down to the basement.

Iâve dined here 4-5 times and every meal has been outstanding. My boyfriend and I always eat at the bar counter so we can enjoy banter with the other patrons and our favorite bartender, Dean. The vibe is cozy, friendly, authentic fine dining with the personal touch of the owners ensuring diners are happy. Favorite dishes include the lobster Mac and cheese, fish tacos and baked haddock, but they are always adding new dishes to keep it interesting. Love Phat Cats!

Their menu is dominated by flatbread choices but they do have a few other options. It's a little bit difficult to find the entrance to the restaurant, you have to walk down an alley first. A "large" easily serves two people or one very hungry person.
