   If you're looking for a unique seafood & steak restaurant Brine is for you. The food is always amazing. The staff is always wonderful. The only problem with Brine is that they are an hour away from us. I would be remiss if I did not mention the Salmon Wellington I had for my entree. Salmon is not my favorite fish but this sounded so incredible I had to take a chance. I was not disappointed. So many wonderful flavors baked in a pastry with a salmon filet. This was our third time bringing friends to Brine. We enjoy it by ourselves but it is a great place to take friends you want to impress

   The food at Brine never disappoints. Their novel flavor combinations and frequently rotating menu keeps us coming back. Service and ambiance is delightful also.

   One of my favorite restaurants in NBPT. From the food to the friendly service ….everything is fantastic. The folks that make it all come together work seamlessly.

   We’ve been to Brine a few times. It’s one of our favorite Newburyport restaurants. We went for lunch. We started with some oysters. So good!!! They were fresh and delicious. The next course was the caviar service. The blinis were freshly made and the accoutrements were well-prepared. My one complaint would be that there was only one spoon - for two people. Picayune, but I was hungry! 😋. We then shared two small plates - the tagliatelle cacio e pepe and the bacon and eggs. The tagliatelle should’ve been warmer and I would’ve preferred fresh grated pepper, but it was good tasting and creamy. The bacon and eggs weren’t as good as they could be …. The oysters were perfect , the poached egg was remarkably perfect, the bacon was over done, and I can’t recall having any salsa verde.- but that didn’t stop me from eating every bite! I will be sure to try them again the next time I go …. For dessert, we had the pineapple sorbet. It wasn’t very pineapply …. I wouldn’t need to try that again. Our server was awesome. He was very familiar with the menu and was able to make knowledgeable recommendations. We sat I. The window - it was open and the weather was beautiful! So nice!

   Four dear friends enjoyed a great evening out at Brine. We started with 18 oysters (on special before 6:30!) and cocktails then moved onto main courses…the lobster lo mein was faved about as was the lamb plate (perfectly cooked with delicious sauces!) and the tuna was amazing too. Thank you for a lovely satisfying evening out for our group of good friends.

   Great food and services. Small plates to full entrees. Oysters on Thursday for Happy Hour is a treat.

    We had several small dishes - I recall oysters, heirloom tomatoes, cacio e pepe - as well as the lamb entree. All were fabulous, well prepared and presented, and, importantly, not fussy. By this sampling I'd say that the kitchen clearly has the confidence to deliver straightforward quality without relying on unnecessary garnishment , flourishes, or cheffy tricks so often seen in lesser restaurants. We shall return.
