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.

Celebrating a fun girls night out with 3 March birthdays. We all enjoyed a delicious meal, beginning with our appetizers…delicious mussels, calamari & crab cakes. Our entrees were so yummy, the salmon with the sweet potato’s & asparagus was amazing! The white filet fish was a very generous portion and cooked to perfection. Our waiter, Drake was so pleasant and attentive. We can’t wait to go back!

This was our 1st time here. Unfortunately, they were out of some of the drink specials and also some of the food on the regular menu. From what we were told, this was a 1st for them being open beyond Labor day. I would go back and try it again in the "on" season in hopes the service will be better as it was very poor.
