We had the rehearsal dinner for our son and future daughter-in-law at the 1640 Hart House last night and I would give the experience 10 stars if I could! The atmosphere was beautiful, the space so perfectly decorated to complement the rooms decor. The servers were so kind and professional and attentive! And the food was top-notch— chicken, haddock, salmon— all was cooked perfectly! If you want to make a special occasion even more special, reserve your event here! The owner, Kim, was so attentive and helpful over the phone with all of my questions. She absolutely knows how to make an event one to remember.

It was like stepping back in time. The history of the house from it’s era of the 1600’s of days gone by, was truly an inspiration to be part of. From it’s unique rooms with the sloping wide pine floors, slightly slanted walls and stairwells. You can’t help but let your imagination run wild thinking of the centuries of families that resided in this home as their residence. A lot of original nooks, floors, plaster walls, doors and hardware. The restaraunt has a great menu for both food and spirits. The service was fantastic, the food and cocktails we chose were delicious. Definitly will be returning. This visit we dined in one of the multiple private dining rooms. Next visit we want fo check out the bar and tavern on the main floor!

Hart house was an incredible experience from the rooms to the fire places to the food. Everything was great! Ask for a tour while you’re there..they showed us every room in the house and gave us a little history about each room. Very well done, the servers were so nice and the food was fantastic. The portions are HUGE!

Haven’t been here for at least 7 years. Decor is still colonial and attractive. Hard choice between 3 and 4 stars, but 3 won when Hart House is compared to the many very good restaurants in this area. My wife started with the Stuffed Quahog Clams. Two good sized. Good but tangy. She guessed that there was too much pepper. My son and I both got the Pan Roasted Oysters. Unusual way to fix oysters and very good. Side of spinach and bacon. For a main, my wife got the Shepard’s Pie. Very good (we lived in the UK 3 years, so one of her favorites), but too much. My son had the NY Strip Steak. Ordered rare and it was. But again, too much pepper—no reason to ruin a good steak with pepper. I got the Seafood Risotto. Good, but not exciting. And half the plate was filled with green beans, too many. Noted that the menu you see posted on the web is not the same as the menu you actually get. Good beer menu, including draft. Good wine and drink menu. Atmosphere nice but soundproofing lacking in the dining room—we had to listen to the conversations from two nearby tables. Good service.

Went for Valentines Day dinner. The meal was cooked perfectly,the chef did a fantastic job. Our drinks were made just right, and our waiter was attentive. Call to make a reservation, though. Hours of operation are a bit tricky, would love for them to be open later.

We came to town to spend a weekend with our extended family. We decided on the 1640 House for our final night together and it did not disappoint. The food was terrific and our service was outstanding. I would definitely recommend it for family celebrations or date nights.

Elegant yet with great respect to the era of the house. The staff is amazing and the atmosphere at Christmas time was magical. The menu is traditional in a very classy way with an enticing set of ingredients with the menu offerings. We had the roast duck with bread pudding (special) and the seared salmon.

We were so lucky to have our wedding reception at 1640 Hart House. The staff was wonderful, helpful and prompt, and my guests are STILL talking about how amazing the food was! Kim had eyes on everything at all times and I’m so glad our reception was in her capable hands. I have to mention the food again, because it truly stole the show. 1640 Hart House is a jewel, in every way.

Host staff was extremely unfriendly and rude. We had reservations for 4 guests at an evening dinner and asked to be seated in the lounge area. We were told they would accommodate if a table was available. Upon our on-time arrival I looked into the lounge and saw 3 available tables. We were greeted at the host desk and asked for our name. The two hosts mumbled something to each other and proceeded to walk us to the opposite side of the restaurant. As we walked I asked why are we not in the lounge? I was ignored and hurried to the table. I asked again if we could have one of 3 empty tables in the lounge and was rudely ignored again. I asked a third time a bit angered at this point, why are you not answering my question? The answer was “we have reservations for those tables. ” I kindly asked if we could wait and if one of the parties didn’t show could we have their table? Answer was, in a very discussed tone, “we don’t do that here.” I simply asked, Why? The host continued to argue that ” this is your reserved table.” That’s when I realized, I needed to leave. If you can’t accommodate your guests in a respectful manner then you shouldn’t be a host and absolutely don’t deserve my patronage. I probably will not ever go back.

This is a gem of a place in Ipswich with an extensive menu for dining and a large selection of wines. You can make reservations for for a lovely 3 course meal or grab a quick bite like a burger in the Tavern with no reservations. The food was outstanding – roasted rack of lamb, salmon and shrimp special, crusted tuna, grilled sea bass – it all tasted delicious. The portions were very generous, and cooked to perfection. The service couldn’t be better, all the staff were very friendly and did not try to rush us through dinner. We had a very relaxed meal, sitting in plush, deep leather chairs that were extremely comfortable. The ambiance was very cozy as you can see from the photos. It was a perfect evening at an exquisite inn.
