We felt truly blessed to have found this amazing piece of history. Not only was the company amazing but the food was delectable. I said that if all my tastebuds died and this meal was the last thing I had tasted — I would be just fine with that. The she crab soup is certainly in my top 3 of all time, along with the crab cakes. The scallops were little clouds sent down from heaven and the pork chop and complementary compound butter were amazing. The sweet potato hash was un-flipping-believable, and then don’t even get me started on the dessert…PS they have their own pastry chef so get 1 of everything!!!

My husband and I had dinner on a recent Saturday night. We ordered crab soup, fall salad and rockfish special. Each dish was delicious. The soup was creamy and a good amount of crab. The salad strawberry dressing was not overly sweet on greens with apple. The best was the bass served on risotto with lobster cream sauce. Perfectly cooked, flaked apart and perfect spiced to balance the rich sauce. Historic building was carefully renovated. Historic colonial vibe. The tables were full, so it was a bit noisy at first but quieted a bit as a few table emptied.

We stayed at the Essex Inn and decided to try 1710 tavern which is directly across the street. We had a wonderful night at the tavern, although not pictured, the lamb lollipops were my favorite part of dinner and the banana creme brûlée was devine! We got to spend a few hours with Mickey who takes great pride in the bar selections, and hand crafted cocktails. The ambiance is wonderful, and the place was steadily humming with guests all night long.

Step back in time and make this a must stop for yourself and those you cherish. You’ll leave feeling cared for and comforted knowing you are high quality ingredients cooked to perfection. A chefs dream from start to finish! The crab cakes a must – the BEST you’ve ever had. Stay over at their BnB and get treated to a home cooked breakfast of equal standards!

This wonderful experience was on our staycation list of places and I’m so glad we went.
Historic tavern with a ton of charm and great food. Nothing disappointed and I went with the waitresses’ recommendations the entire night.
Owner was engaging a lot of customers, but we missed the opportunity to let him know in person how great it was. Appeared a lot of locals frequent the restaurant, as they should.
One of the best filets and the scallops were prefect. The pictures should tell you what a great place this is. Great food, great service, great atmosphere.
We enjoyed the Petite Crab Cakes, Savory Crostini, 1710 House Salad, She Crab Soup, Pan Roasted Scallops, and Meyer Farms Filet Mignon….and some tasty treats.
Thanks!

We had a table of 10 to celebrate mother-in-law’s birthday. Waitress was excellent she stayed on top of things but not overbearing. Fried dishes came a few minutes after all other meals were served but when they did come they were hot and perfectly fried. The only complaint was they were out of some of the things we wanted.

Four friends sought out an evening of great food, ambiance, and service and were not disappointed in their fine dining experience. We ordered four different menu items, started with two apps, cocktails, and wine with dinner.
We all, however, thought that bread would be a nice addition at the table.
We all thoroughly enjoyed the experience and will be a return customer.

Outstanding cocktails. Smoked old fashion was amazing. Oyster Rockefella soup was amazing. Cesar salad with anchovies top notch. Steak was a bit fatty, and flounder needed a little season. But overall an amazing experience. White chocolate flourless cake was outstanding. A top dining experience.

We live an hour and a half away. We called to make reservations for a table by the fireplace. No fire. The “specification “, as per the website was that they would build a fire if temperatures was under 45 degrees. The temperature was 40 degrees. Very disappointing. Specials were good. Crab soup was delicious, but not hot. Waitstaff was very attentive. Doubt we will go back. If someone calls ahead for a table by the fireplace in December , you should disclose that you may not build one.

The Rockfish was so good. My friend had the porkchop he loved it.
