After being stuck in a hotel for a few days with no power and some pretty bland takeout options, me and the fiancé decided to get a “go-to” favorite of ours and what a fulfilling meal it was. Credit to the chef for having the lamb shank on the menu! My absolute favorite meal and tough to find. What a treat, delicacy and absolutely delicious. Perfect meal with mushroom risotto and asparagus 🤌 and they do the best job with celiac and gluten free options for my fiancé. We always have a good meal and always feel safe here. A+ guys!

This small establishment boasts a great menu. I had the pleasure of trying all of the dishes in the photographs. Each dish was seasoned to perfection. The portions (these were lunch) were plentiful. The salmon was topped with a cranberry chutney that glazed the fish with a tart sweetness that complimented the creamy Parmesan risotto. The desserts were sharable in size and each one phenomenal. The chocolate lava cake had a deep chocolate flavor, not overly sweet. The creme brulee cracked with a glass like top and and had a light silky texture. Too many good words to share. Just treat yourself or someone you love. This location will not disappoint.

I was back in Duxbury for the first time in a while, and the first time since it was the Milepost, visiting family. I stopped in here a couple times and had great food and great service. I came here on nights when I was solo looking for more of a snack that a full meal so sat at the bar and there was a great atmosphere-good conversations with people around me every night. I can’t eat gluten anymore so had to be pretty selective with what I ate and found something great every time-great oysters, bacon wrapped scallops, and gluten free subsidies were good too. Bar staff was super friendly and remembered my drink order after only meeting me once. This will definitely be a go to whenever I come back.

We had a great night out at Bluefish River Tavern. The atmosphere is warm and lively without being too loud — perfect for a date night, dinner with friends, or bringing the family. The tuna tomahawk special was outstanding, and the cocktails were excellent. Plenty of parking and consistently great food make this a spot we’ll definitely return to.

I unfortunately will not be coming back to this restaurant. I went here with my boyfriend for our 3 year anniversary, and was highly disappointed leaving. I ordered a pumpkin martini and had a sip and offered my boyfriend a sip and decided it wasn’t quite what I wanted, so I asked to exchange it for a different drink. I was told no because the drink was “almost empty” and the server didn’t want to “get in trouble.” (I’ll attach a picture so you can see how little I drank. I then receive my steak (which was $50 dollars) and it was raw. (Ordered medium rare) service wasn’t great, and felt talked down to by my server. I love going out and trying new places to eat, but not this place.
