Reviews for The Beacon Restaurant and Bar in Marblehead, MA
Dined there this past Saturday evening with friends. Reservations for 6:30pm, ordered our food at 7:15pm and it arrived at... 8:40pm. Ordered 2 burgers, a salad with chicken and swordfish dinner. Nothing extraordinary about that! Food was justokay....nothing special. David our server kept checking in with us, telling us the food would be out in one minute. The GMAmanda is absolutely useless. She told us that no one wants to work therefore that's why our meals were so late. No excusewhatsoever! She kept apologizing and comped us desserts which we had already ordered. She in my opinion isn't really veesedon what a good GM does! Folks, this isn't really a dining establishment but rather a drinking place with great music. We aredoubtful that we will be back which is sad because we enjoyed Johnny singing! Read more
Went for Sunday brunch. GREAT food & FRESH seafood! I had the calamari (which comes with fried banana peppers-and they were... AWESOME), and clams. The clams were HUGE and DELICIOUS! Ordered a drink (the kraken)-also good. I don't drink bloody Mary's BUT(if u do) this is the place to be. People went nuts for the build your own bloody Mary bar. My husband ordered fish tacos-musthave been good because I didn't get a bite! Also, there was LIVE JAZZ. Great outdoor seating as well-would make for a good datenight spot. Read more
Wow! Very nice bar/restaurant atmosphere with a piano player on a Saturday night to set a relaxing mood. Not only were the food... and drinks amazing, but the service was incredibly friendly and genuine! We had children with us who loved the food they orderedwith one of them ordering the pasta from the kids menu that was well received. Our meal highlights included the Maine Steamersand Clam Chowder appetizers and for entrees the Lobster Roll and Scallops over seasonal vegetables were both amazing. Fordessert, we ordered the chocolate mousse which was so good, we ordered another one. We are really looking forward to returninghere on our next visit back to Marblehead. Read more
After ordering the food it took around 45-50 minutes to arrive to the table, and was prepared not to the specifications give,... and all around did not taste good, they graciously did not charge us, the bartender was very nice Read more
Decided to dine local on a beautiful evening tonite. Split a salad with my husband and I ordered the same sirloin steak I... ordered 6 mos prior but when I received the steak dinner it was a tough hockey puck filled with grizzle. Pointed out the fact tothe waiter said he would check with the manager...nothing....$160,00 later wont be back!! Read more
