35 Beach

We loved our first visit to 35 Beach! We had reservations for 5:45 on a Saturday evening. It was less than half full when we arrived and had people waiting when we left. The drinks and food were absolute perfection. We ordered the tuna tartare (a wonderful mix of light & savory) & Caesar salad (I didn’t try, but it looked good) to start. Then the short rib tacos and baked haddock for dinner. I’m not kidding when I say it was some of the best haddock we’ve tasted. It had a light topping with slim asparagus spears and garlic mashed potatoes, sooo good. The tacos I would also recommend! If you like short rib and cheese, you won’t find anything better. They also had this lovely caramelized onion sauce on the side. The service was fantastic, attentive without hovering. They really knew their menu & drink items. Only drawback from our entire experience…we had a two seat table that faced a corner into a half-wall. The patrons waiting to be seated leaned on the wall chatting and were also leaning over our dinner. Not a deal breaker, and was probably the worst seat in the house. The rest of the tables I couldn’t see an issue with. We will DEFINITELY be back, but we will probably ask for a different table 😊

Absolute gem of a place, it’s comfortable, cozy and love the food! I got chicken Milanese and it was delicious! The chicken cutlet was golden and crispy, the arugula salad with the fig vinaigrette pairs very well. I recommend this place if you are visiting Manchester by the sea.

We had a delicious dinner and were served by Jacob who was fantastic! We were a party of 7 and had a reservation for 6:30 PM on a Friday and were seen to our table right away. The fig balsamic dressing that we had on the house salad with delicious, and the truffle fries were very tasty too. Everyone enjoyed their entrée, especially the lemon chicken with spaghetti and broccolini special. I definitely recommend coming here for a lovely meal in a cute town!

This is truly a diamond in downtown Manchester-by-the-sea. Very nice updated cozy atmosphere. Great service and friendliness from our wonderful server, Cierra. Had personal table visit from the owner, Margaret, that was very appreciated. The food is excellent with unique espresso barbecue rubbed ribeye steak. Outstanding mussels with very savory broth. Cocktails were great. Highly recommended. Will be back soon!!!

We had a pleasant experience! The food was delicious, service was great and we loved the atmosphere! It had dim lighting which is my favorite. I'd definitely recommend coming here if you're nearby or in town visiting!

35 Beach is in the old Beach Street location in Manchester-by-the-Sea. Hit or miss here, and they seem to be closed a couple of nights a week. Has a bar that can seat around 10 people - no televisions, and your back is generally to the window as you face the wall or kitchen area. The overall vibe is different here, and while we may not dine in the restaurant again, the food itself is worth a try, and as a plus, they do a great job with takeout...

Always have an incredible experience at 35 Beach! They did a beautiful job renovating the space. I’ve had multiple items on the menu and haven’t been disappointed yet! The burger is the best I’ve had in the area. Chicken Milanese and bolognese are also amazing. Bartender is so friendly and makes the most delicious craft cocktails. Definitely recommend!

If you are looking for an EXCEPTIONAL dining experience look no further than 35 Beach! The Lobster Tempura appetizer was delicious, crispy and light! On the specials was a cucumber, tomato, red onion and goat cheese salad that tasted so fresh and good we think it should be a regular on the menu! For entrees the 18 oz Bone in Ribeye and the Bay of Fundy Salmon were both cooked to perfection and delectably seasoned. Chocolate Tarrone and Beignets for dessert were nothing short of amazing! Great cocktails! Friendly and attentive staff! 35 Beach hits it out of the park!!!

Lovely place to dine and drink in the heart of MBTS. Gorgeous design throughout, love the fireplace. Service is wonderful and attentive, made great recommendations and great conversation. My guest and I stopped in between shopping looking for brunch but that ends at 2pm. We couldn't find the menu online so I took pictures below. We split the beet salad (perfect with the fig dressing) as well as the shrimp and haddock. We loved everything. Their hours are limited for the winter so visit for brunch lunch or dinner on the weekends!

Zucchini app very good. My wife had steak, came out more medium well than medium rare, but lived with it. I ordered the cioppino, excellent thank you. Nice clean restaurant, great service. Too full for dessert, thank you!

It was a decent place for a quick lunch. The Beach salad with chicken was good. I ordered an ice tea with sweetener on the side - they only had simple syrup which did not seem possible. It was obvious the waitress was new and not well trained.

Clean family run finer dining experience. For the Manchester locale it's the fanciest option and for the price it's worth it. A menu that covers most typical options clearly prepared with care. Interior is white cloth tables with gold flatware and most appreciated is either complimentary bottled water or well filtered tap water....it does not taste like city beer whatsoever. Brunch on Sunday, otherwise lunch and dinner menus. Since the other Manchester options are high table pub style restaurants (2) or pizza, I recommend Beach 35. Brunch menu offers Executive Mimosas, a rarity when you don't need to explain to the server or bartender what an Executive is Service is largely by family members so there is clearly an impetus for high performance, politeness and courtesy.

Thanks to the outstanding staff at 35 beach. This town was in desperate need of a finer restaurant. The food has a flare for high end. Of course they have all the usual dishes like steak, Bergers, lobster roll. It was a pleasure. The service was excellent and the food fresh and outstanding. I cannot wait to go again. Welcome to MBTS and thank you. I will you nothing but success.

Love this place. Great atmosphere and amazing food. I went for breakfast and lunch, the hot dog is a hit ! And the eggs Benedict is so yum. I got a mimosa and it was delish. Definitely will be back.

Stopped in after work for a quick dinner. It was my first time there, and my first impression of the restaurant is that it was very inviting and had a homey vibe. I sat at the bar, and the bartender Jacob was extremely friendly and attentive. I ordered the autumn harvest bowl, which was absolutely delicious, followed by a yummy tiramisu. Great experience, will definitely be back!

We had a great meal here, the service was excellent and the food was perfect. My wife had the Tuna Poke bowl and I had the scallops, both were great.

Absolutely love the chicken milanese here! Great time every time I visit. Would highly recommend

Really good food, super charming design and building, and the service was delightful. The lemon zest on the Caesar made it, but it needed a little fresh cracked pepper maybe? The mussels were delicious and spicy. Burrata was on point.

We ate here on a Saturday night. The place was completely empty at 7:30 PM. We ordered steak, and chicken melanese. They did a good job with the steak. The chicken melanese was boring and at the end we realized that they forgot to include the Marcela wine sauce. They apologized and were kind enough to take 20% off the price of the dish. They seem very nice and I hope they succeeded, but it's concerning that they messed up such a key component of a dish on a slow weekend night. Perhaps their business will pick up when tourist season starts. In terms of ambience, it is very bright.

We really our first experience at 35 Beach last night. We chose to sit at the bar even though the ambiance of the overall restaurant is intimate and cozy. The bartender was very friendly and made excellent manhattans. He was very knowledgeable about the menu and gave us solid advice or ordering. Extremely clear and accommodating on a gluten allergy, which is always appreciated. The risotto and bolognese dishes were excellent. We will definitely return to try more things on the menu. I feel like 35 Beach should be getting a lot more attention from the locals. It makes for a solid night out.

I love having this little gem in my neighborhood. The bartender, Christian, is gracious and fun to talk to, as well as very good at what he does. I have had excellent service at 35 Beach and the food is great as well.

Food, staff, owner, and ambiance are all outstanding!! Loved the flourless chocolate cake, truffle fries, miso salmon, tempura, and Scott the waiter were simply the best!!

The food on the North Shore, and in New England in general, is simply outstanding. We went to 35 Beach for the first time and it was exceptional. The pesto spaghetti was fantastic, and the house hot sauce for the oysters was so good we asked for some to take home with us. I can recommend 35 Beach simply without reservation, to anyone.

This might be my new favorite spot. To start, the actual space is beautiful and peaceful and full of sunlight. The waitstaff are friendly and welcoming, and the service has been uniformly excellent every time we have visited. Whoever makes the food clearly takes pride in what they do; every dish we have ordered has been prepared and plated by a perfectionist. For me, the best thing on the brunch menu is the simple but exceptionally well-executed chicken sandwich. (I feel like my gastronomic credibility is going to get called into question by gushing over a chicken sandwich, but seriously, this thing is good.) In fact, the chicken sandwich kind of epitomizes the food here overall: deceptively simple dishes elevated by meticulous execution. The quality of the food is the best reason to come here, but the ambiance is a close second.

Great food & drinks! So happy to have a nice option for lunch and dinner in MBTS. Staff was very attentive and service was quick. We are looking forward to going for dinner next time. The burger and fries were a perfect way to recover from the 4th of July weekend.

Delicious and creative food, charming ocean-flavored space, attentive and friendly staff. Can't wait to go back!

Such a great addition to the Manchester-by-the-Sea area. You're greeted by a charming location with quaint tables with white table cloths but not overly formal. Just perfect to have a night out. Had the Summer Salad which was perfect with fresh goat cheese and very light dressing. Then split the prime rib which had the perfect amount of chimichurri and mint. The cocktails are on point and the gelato for dessert was not to be missed. Pretty much a perfect experience.

Modern and fresh decor. Oysters were from Wellfleet and fantastic. Rosé from Spain was very good- and the quality of wine matters to me. Fried smelt was great. We got seated at the big window in the front- fun to see the view. I recommend!

Gorgeous renovation with a nice bar. Food was excellent. We tried the salmon and burger. Both were exceptional. Hoping this place makes it. We'll be back for sure.

Cute little place only open since July and we lucked out as they just started serving brunch. Food was excellent, a tad salty for my taste but ok. Service was efficient. Place is clean and with real silverware,napkins ect which is nice. Onkydow side we had is that they welcomed two patrons with a mid size dog, which I'm pretty sure is against any health code. I wouldnt complain if the dog had been quiet but it had several bouts of annoying barking which ruined our otherwise lovely meal. Overall I'd reccomend based on food and service.

We stumbled upon this restaurant just by chance. Sometimes things happen for a reason. We sat at the bar talking to Josh (bar manager) and I ordered a spicy margarita and my husband had a Chardonnay. Oysters were next up and pasta. We enjoyed the evening, met the owners Matt & Margaret as they told us their story of starting the restaurant and we found out they just opened five nights ago. They were packed! This made me very excited to see for them especially since they were so down to earth and seemed to be wonderful people. Chef Nick came out and we then had met the whole team. The entrance was beautiful with a modern clean esthetic and the bar was white marble. We enjoyed them so much we wondered in again the next day to have a glass of wine and was treated with sampling food from Chef Nick, The bar manager Josh surprised us by making a Cucumber Zen and Wild Child to try. OMG! Then Margaret brings a chocolate desert sampling. That was over the top! A Must try. Matt, Margaret, Josh, and Nick thank you all for making us feel like a part of your restaurant family. We will be back and who knows maybe permanently. This is Manchester by the Sea.....

Went to 35 Beach after a concert by the Cape Ann Symphony, around 4 p.m. on a Sunday. The waitress said because they were between brunch and dinner, only a few menu items were available. My spouse ordered a chicken caesar wrap and I ordered a cheeseburger. Both were a mess to eat. The wrap was mostly lettuce. The cheeseburger was oddly flavorless. As noted by someone else, the acoustics were terrible. Altogether, a disappointment.

Went to 35 Beach for the first time on Sunday around 2 pm. The interior is very nicely renovated, bright, airy, and somewhat upscale. The place was empty except for one person sitting at the bar. We were a bit surprised it was empty since it was a lovely afternoon in Manchester. We decided to try one of the signature cocktails for $16; the Singing Beach Sling I think it was called. Mine was gone in 3 sips of the straw, it was very sweet, and produced zero "buzz". I think when paying NYC prices for a cocktail you should feel like you consumed some alcohol. We ordered the fried smelts as an appetizer, which were excellent, as well as the Haddock sandwich snd the burger. Both were decent, the burger is like an upscale Big Mac as far as flavor. The fries were good, but undercooked and needed more seasoning. The thing I didn't understand about the place was the ambiance? It's more refined than Calas yet they were playing 90s grunge music fairly loud. This didn't quite fit with the decor and overall look of the place. The bartender also talked to his one patron almost non-stop and quite loudly, which was distracting. The music said "dive bar", the bartender said "sports bar", but the room was saying "upscale ladies lunch"? Our server, Jacob (?) was excellent, attentive, and professional. I'd like to experience the place for dinner when its full of patrons. I think there's a lot of potential here, but they need to better define their "vibe" and exactly what they are trying to present to the customers.

We arrived for the first time early last night, to an empty restaurant. We had made a reservation and we were seated. The menu isn't ambitious, which we took as a sign the food would be good. We ordered fish and chips and mussels to share. Limited beer choices. The next folks in were a family. The little boy sat down and asked his mom "Why is it so loud in here?" It was. You could hear the kitchen and bar noises. The meal prep area of this renovated building is white square tile and sounds bounce around and give you a diner feel. The food arrived. The fish and chips was previously frozen heavily coated fish, that oozed grease. The French fries were also previously frozen, light and over salted. The coleslaw was red cabbage yet bland. The mussels were so so. A few were sandy, and the white sauce was scant. The grilled bread was more like white bread in taste. We left without ordering a dessert. The food is better in close by Beverly Farms.

This restaurant is fantastic. The food is fresh, all local. The fish we had was caught out of the harbor right outside. Chef Nick gave us the best treatment and made sure our entire experience was perfect. Everything tasted delicious, service was excellent and the ambience is fresh and nice. Go walk the water afterwards, perfect ending to a perfect date!

Ok. I'm taking back most of what I wrote before. With the exception of the acoustics still needing some attention, we had an outstanding experience last night! The autumn salad was outstanding and the salmon was perfect. Good portions and delicious. I wasn't sure this place would make it from my first couple of trips, but they clearly are working hard to be good. We had a table of 6 and the service was great and everyone enjoyed their meal. It's back on my list as the best restaurant in Manchester!

The Food created by chef Nick is exceptional as are the beverages created by Josh, the bartender. Both men have great creative talent, the atmosphere is light, airy , and sophisticated , It is not your typical beach resort restaurant , but an upscale dining experience.

Food was adequate. We made a booking for 9 am. When we arrived we were put in a corner of the restaurant that had no atmosphere and were told that food was only served until 9 - so telling us we need to hurry up. not what we wanted to hear considering it's suppose to be a realivity nice restaurant. We just left another venue (Beaufort Hotel) where we should have stayed at as the atmosphere was great, as was the service. So everything was super rushed at 35 Beach and wouldn't recommend it. Really sorry as we were hoping for another good venue to open in Manchester where we could recommend to friends and family.
