    The three of us had a lovely lunch. Luckily, we had made a reservation as restaurant was very busy on this Wednesday at noon. Our server was great and did not miss a beat in anticipating our needs and we were able to relax and enjoy our meals. One had seafood trio and one had baked haddock which were such large portions that we both took leftovers home. The third person had a bowl of chowder. We topped it all off by splitting a warm apple crisp with ice cream which was more than enough for the 3 of us. Everything was delicious.

    an outstanding dinner. Cocktails and wine selection were excellent. We enjoyed delicious dozen oysters and brussels sprouts appetizers. they didn’t have steak per se, but had many different kinds of seafood and meat dishes. I had the salmon which is flaky and juicy. Not dry at all and the scallops were excellent as well. Their apple bread pudding dessert was also quite nice. Overall, a nice restaurant for business or personal and I would definitely attend here again.

    From the drinks to the food - everything was delicious at 1606! We shared quahogs and crab dip for appetizers and then shared the fish and chips and mac and cheese for dinner. We were too full for dessert, but maybe next time! Our waiter was friendly, attentive and efficient. It was our first time dining here and we will be back.

    The restaurant and food is really good. 3 of us had great meals, 2 of us took home. Large portions. We felt bad for our server. Only 2 on, others called out. So they were running around inside and outside!! Crazy and crowded. But still delish.
