- RRandallGreater Boston •20 reviews5.0Dined 3 days agoStarted off with an ocean side table, and everything even got better after that! Explained to the server, who was excellent, that we would order appetizers, and then order our main course when they arrived. This was based on last year's (same day - 12/24/23) experience; she had no issue with it and did not rush us at all. Mussels were even better than last year; the added squash was enjoyed by everyone. All of the food was prepared as ordered, and was excellent, and the desserts exceeded our expectations. Great place for any occasion, especially those family special occasions. Strongly recommend - we will be back!!More info1606 Restaurant and Oyster BarPrice: Expensive• American• Gloucester•4.7
