Best Restaurants with a Happy Hour in Swampscott

Food was incredible, the biscuits are a must have ! We also got the wings, brisket Mac and cheese, green salad, and the beignets. Everything was excellent. I highly recommend the heatwave for a drink if you like a little spice , very good.

Let me start by saying that we ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS PLACE. Ledger is our go to place for special occasions, and we will continue to be back. On this visit however, there were a few minor issues that we haven't previously experienced here. The Popovers, an absolute must everytime we come, were a touch overcooked and tasted it. Also the cocktails at $15 a pop shouldn't be 80% ice in my opinion. And while I understand that this place features the grill on the kitchen, the vegetable medley on my chicken entree had several pieces of delecata squash that were beyond a good char. As mentioned, I'm sure this is a "one off" experience, as nothing like this has ever happened before, but I believe in honest feedback as a way to grow and improve, not necessarily just to be critical. I've appreciated this place for the better part of the last 7 or 8 years, and know that everything can't be perfect everytime, no matter how hard we try. Chef Daniel, and this culinary team are very skilled (there's a reason he was previously nominated for a James Beard award), and the FOH staff is always attentive and welcoming!

My wife and I have been going to Abe & Louie’s on or near Valentine’s Day for many years. It is one of the last old school steak restaurants in Boston. Great service as always and our waiter, Chris was outstanding. We shared a beet and goat cheese salad - perfect. I had the 16 oz NY strip steak. OMG - it was fabulous. Home fries on the side are always a must. My wife had chicken with some crisp, chunks of potatoes. I admit to stealing a few pieces from her plate. Delicious key lime pie for desert. If you want a really good steak and nice service - go to Abe & Louie’s!

Went for a great Valentine’s Dinner and was very pleasantly surprised. Every part of the meal was great. The drinks, oysters, appetizers, and entrees. The service was also great and our waitress was friendly and knowledgeable.

This is our regular place. Food it’s outstanding, lots of local flavors. If you are into local seafood, this is the place to eat. Service is outstanding, friendly attentive staff without being our face. Wonderful restaurant.
