BRINE, known for fresh oysters, crudo, and prime cut chops, is Caswell Restaurant Group’s second foray into the eclectic and innately New England dining scene of Newburyport, MA.

The main attractions at BRINE are backed up by soups, salads, Po-Boys, and “off the page” daily specials to provide plenty of variety.This neighborhood hangout welcomes all and leaves pretension at the door. The low-key design and elevated standards of service allow the food to speak for itself, and Manager Gissele Tache and her staff are always on hand to recommend an adventurous catch, a fine bottle of wine, or a sweet after-dinner treat.

Seaglass is one of my favorite restaurants. They never disappoint. The ambiance is always very pleasant. The food is excellent and presented beautifully. And I have never had anything but exceptional service there. A wonderful restaurant for a celebrations, a romantic date, brunch on Sunday or a nice lunch by the sea.

Service was great! Meatball appetizer was very good. Portion was enough for four people to split. Kale and shrimp Scampi was very good. Lack of flavor in bolognese (during this visit) was the only disappointment. We would definitely go back again.
