Dinner and service at 51 Rocky Neck was fabulous once again. Thank you for taking great care of us Michael for our birthday celebration. Crazy Pizza is still the best pizza on the North Shore and scallops were cooked to perfection. We are looking forward to joining you again. BRAVO!!

The special, sweet potato gnocchi with squash and grilled shrimp was creative and the shrimp were cooked to perfection.

From the moment we walked in, we were greeted warmly, seated by a window with a great view of the harbor. Our server was prompt, courteous, knowledgeable about the menu, and patient answering our questions. Our entrees were expertly prepared and delicious. The owner greeted us again asking if everything was to our liking. A wonderful dining experience.

The food was great. My scallops were done perfectly and they came with the best spaghetti squash I have ever eaten. Service was excellent. The live jazz was also excellent. We will be going back for sure.

Went for Anniversary. Bisque was excellent as were the lamb pops. My wife had watermelon salad and seared tune, both excellent. Service was great. Atmosphere was very pleasant and the views over the harbor as the moon was rising, can't be beat

Food and service were excellent. The location is perfect, especially on the deck. We were surprised the restaurant was not more full at 6pm Sunday. Quite expensive, but worth it.
