    Took my mother-in-law to early dinner. The view was gorgeous. The hostess and wait staff warm and welcoming. We had an excellent server (Adam). My mother-in-law had never been to the north shore, and she had a great day ending with a wonderful meal!!

    We had brunch outdoors on the terrace and it was absolutely delightful. The service was provided by Wes was excellent. We all received the right order in a timely fashion. All five of our dishes were delicious. We loved the expresso martini and the bloody mary's.

    Our waitress and the view were phenomenal. The overall atmosphere is excellent. Great views of Gloucester Harbor and beyond. Unfortunately, both of us had to send back our first meal because our fish was way overcooked. Our waitress did a nice job of getting us another meal fairly quickly, however. 
    1606 Restaurant and Oyster BarResponded on September 12, 2024
    Derek, we love hearing that you appreciated our fantastic setting along the harbor and that our team took great care of you! Thank you for your patience and understanding while we ensured that your meal was made to your liking. Please return soon to the 1606 Restaurant & Oyster Bar so we can work to surpass your expectations and earn another star or two!

    Something rare. A place where you can make reservations for breakfast. Their breakfast is excellent and a good value. We prefer the breakfast buffet. You can get scrambled eggs, thick-cut bacon, sausage, smoked salmon with fixings, pastries, breads, bagels, etc. Of course, the view of Gloucester Harbor from the restaurant is spectacular. Gabe, our server, was attentive, friendly, and professional. One of our favorite places to be on a Sunday morning.
