Xmas Dinner on Cape Ann?

[usamatana]

My gourmet son is coming to visit at my new tiny home in Rockport and I'd like to take him out for Xmas dinner, but can't find anyplace that is open. Any ideas for places in Rockport, Gloucester, Manchester, Magnolia, Beverly, Ipswitch, Marblehead???

I am assuming from your post that Duckworth and Franklin are not open?

Nope, but thanks for putting me onto them for another time!

Hmm. I can't speak for what'll be open, but I like both the bar & restaurant sides of Latitude 43 in Gloucester. It's a nice space, a great fireplace, and the bar food (more likely to be open) is well done. The restaurant in the Hawthorne Hotel in Salem does a nice job, but that's a bit of a drive. What about Newburyport? Anyone? It would certainly look nice for the holiday. Best of luck.

Those are great ideas, thanks! Happy holidays to you, too!

I'm on the wait list at the Hawthorne. Great menu. Thanks again!

Very few places worth it for a gourmet in or near Cape Ann are open.
