About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Romantic
  • Innovative
We are located on Hingham's historic Main Street in a 250-year old colonial house that has been thoroughly restored and updated by the award-winning Niemitz Design Group. Our cuisine, led by Executive Chef Stephen Sherman, centers around great steaks and the freshest seafood, although we also offer contemporary versions of classic American comfort food. Our philosophy is that good service is never intimidating service; and that honest, freshly-prepared food can often be more of a luxury than something you can't pronounce.

    The Upstairs: One flight up from the main dining room and tavern is a 55-person room that was completely renovated in 2007 to create a ten-foot tray ceiling with antique exposed wooden beams and a working fireplace. There is a private bar and lounge area outside the room that can be used as a gathering area before events. In addition, there are two private rooms upstairs with a single table in each room. One of them can accommodate up to eight people, the other up to twelve. The Wine Room: The Wine Room is a 14-person private room that is separated from the main dining room by the Tavern's hand-crafted wine cabinets. Its unique semi-open design creates the perfect amount of privacy without losing the energy from the main dining room.

    Went for lunch on a Saturday and the place was packed. There were several holiday parties taking place. As a result, our meal took about 45 minutes to arrive. We had a show to get to so we were rushed to eat and had to skip dessert. Our food was very good and the service was friendly. It was just a busy day to try this place. We would go back to try it again.

    Overall, very nice, in large part due to lovely ambience. Food items good to very good but not great. Service was good. Interesting, different wines available on wine list at very reasonable prices.

    I wish the food preparation was consistent. Sometimes the meal is good and other times the SAME meal is bad. It is either cooked perfectly or OVER cooked.

    Atmosphere was nice and table service was great. Food overall was creative and good, but pork chop was a tad overcooked. Treatment of the birthday celebration made the night special.
