Best Restaurants for Special Occasions in Newburyport

Grill 23 on Valentine's Day was as spectacular as usual. We started out with the Seafood Tower, had a French Onion Soup, followed it with a Wedge Salad, and then the Rib Eye. Food was awesome as ever and the bread basket was filled with great goodies such as corn bread, raisin pumpernickel, and more. The extensive wine list provided a lot of choices and we started with a Paul Hobbs and ended with a Screaming Eagle.

Excellent food and service. You will not be disappointed.

First visit to Pammy's to celebrate a b-day. Service was wonderful, thoughtful tips, frequent check ins, great energy. There were a few menu items that we needed to clarify before ordering as we were unfamiliar with items...but all part of the fun. The food was outstanding, I tried the lobster with squid ink gnocchi ...exceptional! The restaurant is kind of cozy...small floor plan with a communal center table. It all works, but if you have a larger group..book ahead to get one of the separate side tables.

Tea at Seaglass was terrific due to the view, the great service from Jeanne and the martinis that we added to our meal. Compared to (lots) other Teas I’ve been to, the offers were a bit sparse. One small tea sandwich, a deviled egg and a yummy lobster profiterole. Most teas offer more of the sandwiches. The scones and macarons were delicious and again, not as much was offered compared to other teas. Can’t beat the view of the ocean or the excellent and pleasant service from Jeanne.

Pear and walnut salad was absolutely outstanding. Sat upstairs overlooking downstairs which was beautiful. No toilet paper in the bathroom and our server was meh.
