   Paella and scallops were very tasty. Lobster bisque and calamari were also excellent. Mason, our server, was attentive, professional, helpful, and friendly. Thank you for yet another great experience. Highly recommend!

   The service was impeccable! Josh was an excellent server. My dining companion is gluten free and he brought gluten free rolls without us even asking, and suggested different ways to make a dish gluten free. The scallops were phenomenal and the key lime pie was divine. All-round excellent experience!

   This whole experience was fabulous from beginning to end. We received a warm welcome from a professional and friendly host. Our server (Theresa) was also exceptional and the food was delicious and beautifully presented. This was our first visit but not our last!

   We dined at Hemenway’s to celebrate our daughter’s graduation, and it was perfect. Our waiter Diego was great! He is so friendly and was very attentive to our table of six. The appetizers (bacon in scallops, shrimp cocktail, calamari and oysters, hot and cold) were all delicious and enjoyed by all. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed their dinner choices, which were (2)baked stuffed shrimp, (2)filet, surf and turf and paella. Desserts included after dinner martinis (my daughter did not like her S’mores martini, which was the only disappointment) and gelato. The restaurant has a great atmosphere and the nice weather adds to the ambiance, as the large windows allows outside views. We will definitely be back.

   It was a dnnner out for my wife’s birthday and my beautiful daughter decided to join us. My wife is now MUCH, MUCH CH HAPPIER! We all said that our own meals were the best, we all decided not to have desert, so they both shared the NY Style Cheesecake and house made Sorbet (just a small dish of raspberry and Mango…..who orders just one flavor of Sorbet; 😉 this has been my wives favorite restaurant for over 30 years! I’m just along for the ride but it rates right up there for me as well! You keep it up over there Helena’s with you awesome hosts (who NEVER forgets my name, the hilarious servers who kept our laughter high, and you awesome chefs that make our eyes roll up every time we take another bite! Another DINNER DUN RIGHT! Thank you.

    Another happy occasion celebrated at Hemenway’s. We were promptly seated to our table. It was a busy night at the restaurant with many gathered for graduation parties. We were out for a birthday celebration. Our server Mike was friendly. The two main drinks at the table were the slow sipper drinks and negronis. We had ordered their whole fish of the day, baked stuffed shrimp, seafood casserole, shrimp cocktails and crab cakes. And the creme brulee for birthday dessert.
