Emerson Inn Parlor Bar and Restaurant

You can't ask for a better view, especially if you get a table on a porch. It is lovely and peaceful with a vast ocean view. I enjoyed the pigeon cove chowder and duck confit. The triple chocolate cake was very good. There is a parking lot for guests in the back, so parking is not a problem.

A trip back in time and a hidden Bistro right on the beautiful coast of Rockport & Gloucester. The Inn is like stepping back into the early 1900's, with lovely decor and stunning sea views. The drinks and food at the Bistro are excellent, the girls who waited on us were fantastic and fun. It's a wonderful place to stay and dine for anyone visiting the North Shore.

A definite stop get a room for couple of nights or just stop in for music or one of their events. Excellent food and cocktails. Beautiful seat looking put at the Ocean. Owner and staff very helpful and friendly knowledgeable about the area Was there couple weeks back for Moonrise Party. Incredible Dinner and Drinks amazing Service By all the Staff and the Owners are Available Friendly Easy to Talk to will answer any questions. Food is Magnificent taste and favors on different regions foods. What can be said about being Oceanside.

Historic Emerson Inn's restaurant. Don't know if tavern is the correct title as there is only a small bar separate from the dining area. Dining room is a large single room with scattered tables and chairs that are meant to get you up after an hour (uncomfortable). Small menu featuring some nice preparations executed tastefully. We enjoyed, a cheese board with jam and honey placed directly on the board, would have preferred small vessels of these accompaniments. Salmon won tons, NY strip, and Scallops. Nothing visually spectacular but the flavors where on point. Very small wine list. Seasonal place April-October.

Lovely, somewhat secluded place to have a drink away from the more touristy hubbub of Rockport’s town center. Very fair drink prices. I can’t comment on the food because we did not eat. Part of the reason we did not order food is because one of us was vegan and they had only one vegan option.
