Topside Bistro - Gloucester

I have lived in Gloucester for a little over 3 years and love being surrounded by gorgeous scenery, endless fun events, and some of the best restaurants you can find. A few weeks ago, my friend and I checked out the Topside Bistro for the first time and we were so thrilled that we did! We sat at the bar and were served some great drinks and immediately got into conversations with the bartender and other wait staff. They were very welcoming and pleasant to us as well as the other patrons at the bar. Before our California burgers came out, we tried the raviolis with lobster in lemon sauce. This dish was outstanding, and I found myself trying to scoop up as much of the lemon sauce on the plate as I could! The burgers were also such a great surprise, stacked with so many delicious flavors in every huge bite. The basket of fries were delicious, a perfect side to these huge burgers. The entire meal was so good, they were the best burgers I have had in town. We were taken exceptionally good care of by this friendly staff. Before we left, we even got a chance to have a chat with the manager Nick, who was also very cheerful and friendly. The atmosphere felt warm, familiar, and inviting. We will certainly be going back and making this a go to dinner spot. Keep up the good work, see you soon!

Great service from super nice waitress and bar guy...wish the food matched. The clam chowder is terible, not stewed long enough and all bacon, no clams. The salads were over priced for lettuce on a plate. Flank steak very good.

Great spot for great food at good prices. The server was very helpful and knowledgeable about the menu. My wife is gluten free and the server too great care of us. Will be coming back when I'm in the area! Dietary restrictions: The brined wings were not battered. They served the topside burger on the grass.

Went here with a group while on Retreat at Eastern Point in Gloucester. It was a wonderful experience. Our server was Chloe, she was patient there were a lot of us), professional and very helpful. The food was excellent. Best baked Haddock and French Onion soup I’ve had . Shiloh another member of the staff was also very sweet and stopped by our table, made us feel most welcome. Many of us were from other countries and left with a very good impression of the hospitality here in the U.S.

We stopped in after a long drive for a drink and a quick meal. We deliberately sat at the bar. We ordered nothing fancy (burgers and fries)but it was quick, delicious, and the service was extremely friendly. We will return.
