10. Captain Marden's Seafoods
Overall Ratings
4 based on 278 reviews
Reviewed By JMDB999
Visited Captain Marden's because we were going to a business nearby. With the exception of the fried scallops, everything else was poor to average. The cornbread to start was dry, the fried clams were mushy and tasteless, the coleslaw was just barely seasoned beyond plain cabbage, and the tartar sauce had a weird slimy quality to it that was really off-putting. No liquor license and spotty service. Would definitely not return given the wealth of other seafood restaurants in the area that are much, much better.

We recently tried O'Hara's in Newton, MA. Drinks were good, food was average (salmon we had was overcooked and dry), service was good, and prices were reasonable. The atmosphere, friendly patrons, good bar service, and drinks are the things to bring you here.Thanks for the review! I am sorry to hear about the salmon, if there is every an issue with your meal, please always let us know while you are dining with us so we can be sure to make it right for you! Hope to see you in again soon :)

Ok this is not a gourmet breakfast and then again it's not $15 for an omelette and coffee. Good breakfast at reasonable prices unlike many of the places in the area at a good 25% more. What's the says "eggs are eggs". This place has great service and very decent food at reasonable prices. Today has my two eggs, toast, ham, home fries and coffee and I did not have to go to the ATM first. Thank you. I will be back.

Five of us who had a meeting in Needham chose Three Squares for convenience. Looking back at our experience, this was a fine choice. We had some excellent food, attentive and friendly service and a very useful conversation in what could have been a very noisy restaurant. Most of us had hot sandwiches preceded by stuffed and loaded potato skins. My sandwich was a very capacious Tuna Melt. My companions seemed to enjoy their selections. Our waitress as attentive and handled everything very well. A fine place!Thank You!

We were totally dazzled by the quality of the food. We each ordered the pork chop medium. And it came just so with mashed potatoes surrounding the chop and a bundle of broccolini along side. A good sized chop nicely grilled and so tasty. A can of Jacks Abby split between us and we were very happy. Bear in mind they take no reservations. Itâs also a family venue with young children and their parents all around us. Provided with drawing paper and crayons they were well contained. We arrived at 6:20 on a Saturday night and were seated by 6:45. Service was friendly and prompt and prices are reasonable. Conversation is challenging however we will return!

I ordered the Kaitlyn which was prosciutto, mozzarella and tomato on a baguette... heaven. I don't even really enjoy sandwiches and it was soooo good. My husband got the italian and said it was also great. It has stool and counter seating. Not friendly for babies so we sat outside at the picnic tables. That is the only downside. Service was phenomenal.

We dined here with friends. The restaurant has an attractive decor, we were seated promptly and waitstaff were attentive enough without being intrusive.The menu is somewhat limited but the food was tasty, fresh and well prepared. We enjoyed the fish tacos (the fish is fried but not greasy and the order arrives as three well-filled soft flour tacos), beef short ribs, and Halibut entrees. The peach and tomato burrata was just ok, the white peaches were not very sweet and could have been allowed to ripen. A small cup of olives we ordered were delicious with some unusual large red olives soaked in evoo. We found the mixed drinks to be a bit pricey for their petite size. Wine prices seemed typical for an upscale restaurant and beer a bit at the high end although the selection was imported (no Budweiser, Michelob, Coors...) which may account for this. We enjoyed this restaurant, will recommend it to friends, and plan to return.
