Best Date Night Restaurants in Marblehead

Always delicious food and great friendly service !

Let me start by saying that we ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS PLACE. Ledger is our go to place for special occasions, and we will continue to be back. On this visit however, there were a few minor issues that we haven't previously experienced here. The Popovers, an absolute must everytime we come, were a touch overcooked and tasted it. Also the cocktails at $15 a pop shouldn't be 80% ice in my opinion. And while I understand that this place features the grill on the kitchen, the vegetable medley on my chicken entree had several pieces of delecata squash that were beyond a good char. As mentioned, I'm sure this is a "one off" experience, as nothing like this has ever happened before, but I believe in honest feedback as a way to grow and improve, not necessarily just to be critical. I've appreciated this place for the better part of the last 7 or 8 years, and know that everything can't be perfect everytime, no matter how hard we try. Chef Daniel, and this culinary team are very skilled (there's a reason he was previously nominated for a James Beard award), and the FOH staff is always attentive and welcoming!

We actually went to Ellis Square two nights in a row and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. The first night was to celebrate Valentine’s day and the next night was before a show at The Cabot. All meals were well prepared and the menu had excellent choices.

Great date night, cozy little spot with great service, tasty drinks and excellent food. Shared a caprese salad, which was beautiful. I had chicken penne vodka and my partner had haddock over risotto. We sat in the bar area. Bartender was great. Good spot, check it out.

Em was a fabulous server. Food was delicious. Wines were good, not fantastic, but they grew on you. Fisherman’s Platter, fish and chips and lobster roll and clam strips were enjoyed by all. Overall a lovely evening.
