Been here multiple times. Its good usually. New menu today and IT WAS PHENOMENAL! Seafood stack to start, lobster ravioli, and then a flourless chocolate cake for dessert which was hands down the best one I have ever had EVER! Dani the host made sure we were taken care of and Jordan our server was fantastic. Super knowledgeable and friendly!

Went to Bristol for a lil Bday getaway. The wife chose The Beach House for dinner because it had a diverse menu and the scenery. Plenty of parking when we pulled up. Entered the restaurant and really enjoyed their choice of decoration. They have an assortment of seating options available, low top, high top, outdoor and bar. Ok wife is yelling cause I'm taking too long on writing this lol. We ordered our drinks and the bartender made them just right. Flavor and strength worked very well together. I had the clam chowder, she had the squash bisque. She emptied her bowl before I finished mine. That never happens because I enjoy food more than her. They were extremely good. Oh, almost forgot about the pork belly tostada. Not for lack of or dislike because I will definitely order it again. Our entrees got us we were pleased with the presentation. I chose to get the salmon. I tend to eat my sides before I dig into the my main. I tried the rice. It was good and balanced. Tried the spinach, good but a lil salty. I knew the salmon was going to be sweet, so I then paired the two together and wow. It's a dish worth repeating. They had a special for dessert, chocolate mousse cake. It made me very happy because the chocolate wasn't overwhelming and it was so smooth! We were very happy to go there and look forward to our next time there.

Excellent view with a seat by the water. Server was attentive and very responsive to our requests. The food was delicious, with generous portions. The fish was beyond fresh

So first I want to start with all the great things about this place. Which would be the views are amazing, I have really never seen anything that looks more picturesque New England. And then I want to follow up with our server, Sarah was incredibly bright and bubbly very smart. As for the food, I will say that the lobster roll was probably one of the best lobster rolls I have ever had in my life with lots and lots of lobster meat. And the market price was incredibly reasonable. However I was let down by our calamari and by our oysters. The The fry on our calamari was very mushy. How do they put on way too much of the the sauce that it came with or they didn't batter the calamari enough but it just felt like if you're going to fry it it should have a better crunch to it... But I was most let down by the oysters; This restaurant did select a beautiful type of oyster the natural flavors of the oyster were wonderful. However they were not properly shucked, a lot of my oysters were still fully attached to the shell, as well as lots of broken shell inside. This is New England, you got to know how to shuck oysters if you're going to serve them.

Breathtakingly beautiful and scenic vistas of the shore and the bike track. Especially being seated in the patio area on a lovely sunny day, it was a truly mesmerizing view and experience. The staff was genuinely polite, friendly, accommodating and welcoming. Not snobbish at all, thankfully! Very rare to find a truly professional staff on restaurant's nowadays. Special shout-out to Sarah! Food was finger licking delicious. I am told they had just revamped the menu. I can't comment on the previous menu, but the chef knows their job well! Loved their calamari, PB burger, and the fries were extra super duper crsipy to die for! Just the cocktail I had was way too sweet (loaded with sugary syrup), so didnt enjoy that one. Ample car parking on a October saturday afternoon, but it gets super busy during peak summer months. The patio from the parking lot is directly accessible. Else take the mini elevator to floor 2 for indoor or outdoor seating.

This restaurant is an absolute gem! From the moment you arrive, the atmosphere is fantastic. They boast not one, but two incredible bar areas. The outdoor bar is a dream, perfectly situated right by the water, offering stunning views that make every drink feel like a mini-vacation. It's the ideal spot to unwind on a warm evening.

How have I not been here before? We were looking for some outdoor dining by the water and stumbled upon The Beach House. First, the setting is perfect. Next, service - we had no complaints because we had no place to be and wanted to enjoy the day. However, others may think it's a tad slow - though friendly. Lastly, the food was very good. We came for seafood. We had grilled mahi & shrimp and seafood linguine. Both were fresh and tasty. We'll be back again.
