    I had the clam chowder and the haddock po boy. Was very good. My sister had fried clams and scallops and they were amazing. Great service and was an enjoyable time. I will come back again.

    Upper deck outside is first come, first served. The views are worth the wait!

    The service was excellent by the menu reads: fish taco with fresh cilantro aioli. When I ask where the aioli might be, don't bring me a runny version of your tarter sauce. Nasty.

    The extra large lobster roll is touted, but what really works are the views and the quick lunch service.

    Some of the best oysters in New England can be found here. Great atmosphere too.

    They hold a free Veteran's Dinner for all Newburyport Veterans every year on Veteran's Day, and offer discount cards for the veterans as well. They have my vote. (Plus, the food is good, too! LOL) Read more

    Get there early if you want a table on the outside deck.

    If you're hungry and ordering the lobster roll, take their advice and "get the large". The small may underwhelm you otherwise.

    Enjoyed a Father's Day lunch (party of 5) ...outdoor seating, overlooking the water and boats, and didn't have reservations. It was a nice time!

    Looks like the food & service has gone down hill. Portions are super small & it took forever to get our food on Father's Day. Guess michaelsharborside is only good for drinks. Major disappointment.

    Meh. Seems like everything is fried. Deck seating overlooking the harbor is nice. Full bar and hearth.

    Was very disappointed with the quality of food. My tacos were not that great. Maybe the awesome outdoor seating distracts people from the food.
