Located right next to the harbor, Fathoms Bar & Grille has become an integral part of New Bedford's diverse collection of eateries. Known for its rich culture and historical fishing industry, New Bedford sets the stage for Fathoms Bar & Grille to be the p

We have always had good meals at Fathoms. We take a disabled friend there on a regular basis. The handicap accessability is excellent! My husband and our friend love the Fish and Chips with the beer batter. Crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. Served with fries and fresh tasting cole slaw. Last night I had the broiled scallops and scrod caserole. While it was cooked just right I felt it could have used a few more scallops, it was mostly peices of scrod, I also thought the mixed vegetables were nondescript, boring and overcooked. But, over all it is good value for drinks, food, and great service.
9. The Black Whale

I was reluctant to re-visit The Black Whale after the new owners had taken over. The reviews were not complimentary. I received a gift card to the restaurant, and after a day in Boston decided to stop by for drinks and appetizers. We sat at the bar, as the restaurant even at the early hour of 6PM had a 20 minute wait. Service was attentive, calamari and Thai chicken appetizer we ordered arrived promptly and were delicious. We also noticed the kitchen was efficient--dishes flying out, portions were not diminished and staff was responsive and attentive. I look forward to going back for dinner. Though the menus is slightly modified--more offerings--the restaurant was bustling. My only concern--with the events scheduled at the pier--there was limited parking. Otherwise, our experience was excellent.Good morning Carolyn, Glad you dined with us and you were pleasantly surprised. Overall the reviews have greatly improved as the guests realize this is not the old black whale - itâs something new and elevated. Business has been great. Happy to have you on board. Please be in touch, especially if we ever let you down! Thank you.

Best calamari I have had in my life! On the other hand, the oysters, which came from VA, were small and tasteless. Definitely do not order them until the local oysters are back in. Scallops were good and tuna was fair.

We showed up with a party of 15, around 6:15. Last minute decision, with friends in town for a funeral. Everything, and i mean everything management did to accommodate us was fantastic. It got better from there. From a short bar wait, with great bar staff to the servers, just all around great people and service. And then the food. Everyone was delighted with their meals. The house specials, prime rib sandwich or the double lobster roll..... awesome. Every other dish had raves. Watching waitresses take entrees to other tables, made me want to sample it all. Yes, I am gushing about Mikeâs, and, it is well deserved. It takes a lot to me to gush!
6. Tastebuds

Tastebuds is a local restaurant that has a nice menu with multiple fish options. We started with the steamed clams which cooked perfectly but were seasoned with a little to much pepper flake. I had The bouillabaisse and my wife had the halibut. We both enjoyed our meals but again, mine was over seasoned with red pepper flakes. The broth was good but hard to overcome the pepper. The only real knock was the service. Josh disappeared for a short time and I caught him texting while we waited for him to bring our check. After leaving the check he returned 20 minutes later and apologized for not coming back earlier. We will definitely go back, but ask for a different server and a little less pepper.

Turks has the best fresh seafood and sushi around. I have ordered everything from fish and chips, salmon, Scrod, and sword fish to all different kinds of sushi. The lobster bomb and spicy tuna roll are amazing! The atmosphere is casual, and welcoming. I am lucky enough to live close enough to Turks to eat there frequently. I am never disappointed. The prices are very reasonable. I highly recommend Turks to anyone passing through Mattapoisett, you will not be disappointed!

A small, lovely restaurant - perfect for a meal after spending the day on the waterfront. A casual but inviting atmosphere. The menu is simple and delicious. The service is fantastic. They have terrific pizzas and the seafood dishes are great! Even though the menu doesn't list gluten-free meals, a chat with our server revealed several options that were delicious.We were there on a weekend afternoon and found plenty of parking.
