Delicious first trip to G in Swampscott with friends a few weeks ago. The beet salad was particularly memorable and surprising while the fall chicken dish was flavorful and well prepared. Everyone enjoyed their food and drinks. I would most definitely recommend a reservation and would 100% go back.

Anyone living in or visiting Swampscott would be quite delighted to eat at the exceptional G Bar Restaurant! Located quite close to Fisherman’s Beach, G Bar is lovely and formal without being fussy! Tables are laid out in a civilized manner! We did not have a reservation and the hostess was kind and accommodating! Marla, our server, was sweet and efficient! The food is marvelous! I loved my Chicken Milanese! My brother was super happy with the scallop special! My Mom had a fab looking Burrata scampi! We shared the warm berry bread pudding with Schlage! So delicious! Parking is not particularly easy but there are spaces. The restaurant had a lively bar! We will absolutely be back! A new fave in Swampscott!

As someone who cares about what I eat, G Bar & Kitchen hits that balance of flavor and quality. Chef Gregg sources local, seasonal ingredients, keeps plates clean and minimal so each bite shines. Great variety, excellent service, and food that feels elevated without being overdone. Always leaves me satisfied and ready for my next workout.

I mean this place. Never disappoints. I’ve always had amazing meals here. I was skeptical that this shrimp limoncello dish was going to work but man it was unbelievable. They really managed the right amount of shrimp to pasta ratio. Usually when you get these shrimp dishes they give you like four or five little shrimp and too much pasta. Not the case here. There Was plenty of shrimp. The flavor totally worked. The owner is a genius with pairing flavors.

Live music and the outside dining area are what got us in this bar and restaurant. The food was disappointing. My giant fish taco had sand in it. The seared tuna was high quality but the sand ruined the meal. My son got the bolanese pasta that was on special 7/18/25. It was nothing special and for $28 it was a rip off. I would stay away from the daily specials, and ask for the price before you order. Utensils and napkins were not brought to our table with our food and the table was sticky and not cleaned well. I will not be going back to this place.

What a fabulous spot- certainly a local gem that rivals any Best of spots in Boston. This was my first experience (recommended by a local) and it didn’t disappoint! Service was friendly, attentive and informed. The menu was varied with loads of delicious options. We tried the tuna tower and I loved the shrimp limoncello! The G cosmo was fabulous. Looking forward to going back again.

This was such an incredible experience. Our drinks, appetizer, and entrees were better than my partner and I could’ve imagined. The staff was incredibly kind from the moment we entered until the moment we left. A lot of the staff have been working there for 5+ years so they were passionate and informative about the restaurant and what it has to offer. & Our server, Bill, was the greatest, shout out to Bill! We will for sure be back.

Peppardelle (never had it before) was very good. Sauce was very flavorful and the spicy sausages were well prepared. My father had the haddock with the mashed potato and he said it was very good as well. The dumplings were also pretty good. I’d definitely dine here again!

Went here to try it out since we seen reviews and photo how good the food looked. we didn’t make a reservation but we were seated outside which is fine I didn’t mind it since inside was a lot of people. I wanted the rack of lamb which I seen on the photo and last year menu , but today it wasn’t on the menu so I got the T bone Lamb had it cooked Medium Rare, warm Red center. It came out warm and over cooked to medium well. NOT A RED CENTER , it was to the point where theres no pink at all and had too much salt. The customer next to me ordered the same thing and their lamb came out perfect and steaming! The way I wanted my lamb to be! I was so disappointed
I was starving so I did ate it. Spent too much money on it for it to go to waste.
The only good thing I had here was my cocktail that’s why I rated a 2 stars.
