Restaurants near Rockport Harbor

Ate outdoors with water view. Food had a lot of flavors.

My partner and I had a Christmas gift certificate and nearly 6 months later, we decided to use it at Rossetti in Beverly. It was in all ways an outstanding meal. We were served by Gianna B, a very attentive and welcoming server. We opened the meal with the Crispy Calamari and the Meatballs. The calamari were light and tender, and the meatballs were nicely infused with cheeses and herbs. Our main course was Chicken Saltimbocca, and as the name implies, the flavors jump off the plate and into our mouths. We added the Crispy Brussel Sprouts, which were crisped in bacon and maple. It was a real hit. For dessert, we had the Limoncello cake, suggested by Gianna. One of the best features of the meal was the timing of the service. We had time to chat at first, then eat the apps, and when we were delightfully finished (and only then) did the chicken and brussel sprouts arrive. When we finished the apps, we got all new plates and utensils, and we were never rushed at all. We requested, and received, the quietest possible table. It was a 5:30 reservation and we left Rossetti at about 7:00. There were multiple servers who brought our food to the table, and this gave a feeling of real teamwork and collegiality among the staff. Finally, we shared the Chicken, and they were happy to offer it on two plates, each of which was more than enough for us. This was fine, unhurried dining and we plan to come back again soon, since we only began to sample the many offerings.

Great service! Sat at the bar, bartenders were Thomas and another guy with an olive tree tattoo, ( sorry I can’t remember name) both were professional and fun. Food was great as always. Looking forward to going back

We had just finished our tour at the Hammond Castle around lunch - went on open table to see if we could book lunch with a water view - well The 1606 was listed with great pictures of the harbor — well were met by friendly valet attendants, , host and then seated at a spectacular table - actually not a bad table in the house.
