Mission on the Bay - Swampscott

The food was delicious! I got the baked haddock and it was so fresh it melted in my mouth! My husband had the seafood casserole and it was a huge portion and fantastic! Diana, our server was amazing! She surprised us with a decadent desert that was incredible! One of the best dining experiences I have had in a long time! Highly recommend this restaurant and if you are lucky, maybe you will get Diana to be your server!

Saturday brunch of 15. Lori was our server and she was world class. The brunch is all you can eat for $20.00. On the ocean. Almost as spectacular as Lori who added food to orders and served it family style (it was all family). She hustled over $5.00 mimosas and chatted with us. World class service. Good food…eggs Benedict was my favorite. Did not enjoy the meatballs but I’m picky with meatballs. We had a wonderful time and we were not on the roof.

I really wanted to love Mission on the Bay, but the food fell short for me. The short ribs were amazing & the appetizer empanadas were absolutely delicious. But it just went downhill from there. The clam chowder had a strangely sweet taste that didn’t match the classic flavor you’d expect. The ceviche was unfortunately bland, lacking the fresh, bright acidity that makes the dish stand out. And the sushi just wasn’t good—unbalanced flavors and poor texture & taste. The restaurant has an amazing location and atmosphere, but the dishes we tried were disappointing. Hoping for improvements because the potential is there.

Great seaside views make this lovely restaurant unique. Literally on the cliffside above the bay. Excellent contemporary menu and attractive full bar. Attentive service.

The view is fantastic and we have always had great service. We love the chowder and tuna tartare.
