1606 Restaurant & Oyster Bar

"Everything was delicious and the service was excellent. I loved it. Highly recommended"

"TLDR; expensive, mediocre food that tastes store bought and frozen, and very slow service. My husband and I were there yesterday for our 1 year wedding anniversary. We actually dined here on our wedding night, a year ago- that’s why we chose this place. The ambiance is nice, great decor, view etc. however, the food is extremely sub par. We ordered the crab cakes for an app- which was good but is hard to mess up. My husband ordered a NY strip, and he stated that it was ok, but was overly salted and was difficult to eat as such. He also said he would have hoped for more out of a $48 steak…. He said that the fried onions tasted like the kind you can get out of a can at the grocery store. He also didn’t much care for the Italian cream soda, that was a very off tasting drink I had the lobster linguine (without pancetta) it was not great. And also for $48 I expected a lot more. It honestly tasted like frozen lobster and had the weirdest after taste. I found several shells in my meal too, which I wouldn’t have expected with those prices. I brought it home as leftovers and tried to save it with olive oil and Parmesan and it did not help. I couldn’t finish it which was a shame, since I hate wasting money and food. The server was nice enough but kind of scarce, and the service was incredibly slow. There were only 3 other parties there when we went and it took about 45 minutes for us to get our food. Also I did observe a lot of staff hanging around on their phones and chatting- which generally doesn’t bother me per se, but I am stating that for a restaurant of this caliber I did expect more. After $175 bill for 2 people, we were very disappointed and won’t be returning for our next anniversary as we had initially hoped to."

"Great seafood restaurant, with a nice view & available outside seat when the weather allows it. The seafood dishes are well prepared & the wine list offers good choices. Prices are reasonable. There is wifi & parking is free in the hotel spot."

"We ate at this restaurant that's located inside the beautiful Beauport Hotel in Gloucester. Beautiful dining room with inside and outdoor seating. Outdoor seating overlooks the ocean. The inside dining room is really beautiful with ample seating. The drinks menu has a pretty extensive wine and spirits selection. Great cocktails. The appetizers were delicious especially the crab cake and the tuna tartare and thr crab poutine. The service was really great and efficient."

"I very much enjoyed both the food and staff at this place. The customer service was wonderful, I could tell that people genuinely enjoyed interacting with their guests. I can see why this place is gaining such a loyal following. The food was good and I particularly enjoyed the fried chicken as well as the oysters."
