Super friendly staff, Drinks, and food were amazing. Short rib was cooked perfect, with so much flavor. Wedge salad was very good. Loved the mushroom toast and the gnocchi dish. So happy to have a restaurant of this quality and vibe in the neighborhood. This will be our new go-to spot.

Great new place in Ipswich. Conveniently located not far from the Ipswich T station, it’s become a favorite rendezvous place after work.
A good variety of small plates, salads and entrees. See menu photos. Wine list has a good variety and there are plenty of good cocktail options.
Service and staff are great. Very friendly and knowledgeable. Jessica behind the bar is awesome!

Upscale. Portions are on the smaller side but from the lamb lollipops that can be cut using a fork, to the lobster bisque that was flavorful and well balance with just the right amount of lobster… It was delightful experience. Bartender, Margaret was knowledgeable, friendly and attentive. Definitely going back.

My husband and I were looking for a cozy, upscale spot with great food and drinks to enjoy dinner to celebrate our first anniversary and I’m so glad we came across Brown Square Bistro. From the minute we walked in to the moment we left, everyone was so warm and welcoming and the atmosphere was exactly what we were looking for. We had cocktails, wine, espresso martinis, mussels to start, scallops, duck breast, fries and ended with crème brûlée that was on the house as a gift from the restaurant for our anniversary – we have nothing but wonderful things to say about all of the food and the drinks. We’re sad to live over an hour away, if we were closer we would easily be regulars. Will highly recommend to anyone looking for spots on the north shore!

Fantastic flavors and beautiful creativity! Get the Truffula Tree while you can! Chile lime under the perfectly cooked Scottish salmon, zucchini and black rice is brilliant and bright. Carrot cake is complex, yet sublime. Go to Brown Square Bistro for culinary adventure in a modern setting.

I went with a friend to check it out. We shared the Angel Eggs (shown in photo), Grilled Baby Romaine and the Bolognese, all delicious and beautifully presented…my favorite that night was the Bolognese. The table next to us had the Lobster Bisque and I think I will try that next time. The severs were very attentive and personable, and my Brown Square rye cocktail was perfectly balanced!
Brown Square Bistro differs from other restaurants in Ipswich with a feeling of refinement, and I think it makes a nice addition to the town. I hope you have years of success!

Of all the towns they could have picked to open this wonderful new restaurant, we’re so thankful that the owners, Tom and Jeannie Di Silva decided to bring their creation to Ipswich! My husband and I enjoyed one of the most special dining experiences we’ve ever had anywhere on the north shore. Refined and yet casual, the Brown Square Bistro provides foodies with the kind of adventurous cuisine, exceptional service and polished yet comfortable atmosphere one only finds in some of the better Boston restaurants. All this and no nighttime drives into the city. It’s the kind of place this town has needed and it fills a niche all its own.
Last Saturday we were warmly greeted at the door and took a seat at one of the high tops in the large bar area. Our waiter, Ricardo was an absolute gem, with obvious experience in the food industry. After serving us delicious cocktails, he was so helpful and knowledgeable, answering all our questions. The menu has several entree choices, priced well, and a creative cut above what most restaurants offer. But the small plates and shared plates were what we were excited to try and they did not disappoint.
We decided on sharing several dishes …the lamb lollipops which were beautifully presented were absolutely delicious. The mushroom toast was swoon worthy served as a grilled focaccia, mushroom, honey and cheese combo, so earthy and delectable. The lobster bisque was a heavenly surprise, the bisque uniquely served from an individual carafe over a bed of lobster salad. After the first bite we honestly couldn’t speak! Ambrosial, savory, chef’s kiss?… words cannot describe how good this was. And the pickled beet salad with lemon ricotta, pear, and the freshest greens was appetizing, original and palate pleasing. These 4 shared dishes made a satisfying and delightful dinner. Plus the owners were so friendly, taking time to check in on each customer during the evening. Thank you Tom and Jeannie!
We topped the evening off with the crème brûlée which was outstanding, and the carrot cake. I’ve made and tried so many yummy carrot cake recipes over the years, but Chef Liam’s take on this classic was truly superior. In fact this chef is an Ipswich treasure, …this man has some skills! We’ve been praising his talents all week and are planning to come back with friends and family in the future. They even have a nice kids menu which encourages families to enjoy a night out together in their own home town.
This place is upbeat and welcoming with a genuine team spirit that we could feel and appreciate. Once the “secret” of this place gets out, we predict it will become wildly popular. Thanks to the whole lovely staff for an amazing dining experience.

Ridiculously good through and through. Chef Liam is an exceptionally talented and focused individual and this is highlighted beautifully in Brown square’s elegant and exceptionally well executed and technique driven menu. For real this place will knock boots with bostons best and blows Frank’s (rip) out of the water. The Steak Tartare with foie gras, mushroom and sunchoke was unbelievably lush yet well balanced with welcome pops of acidity from the dressed herbs chopped throughout. The duck breast was beautifully rendered while still a perfect tender medium rare sitting pristinely sliced atop a tender pile of wilted local kale and black rice. The Duck Jus was a deeply rich and toasty contrast to the various preparations of peaches that tied this dish together. Don’t even get me started on the Almond and Ricotta Cavatelli.. Christ almighty. If you’re reading this Do yourself a favor and eat here this week.
