    Good, fresh food, friendly and helpful waitress. Halibut slightly more cooked than I’d have done, but it was all good. It was worth a visit and we had a fun night

    Great range of delicious food choices. Dining with someone with food allergies and there is a very helpful guide in the menu, we’re very accommodating, and very careful, even marking each of the dishes as allergy friendly with a special stick. ❤️ Loved it!

    The best gluten free menu we have ever had. My wife had a fried appetizer at a restaurant for the first time in years because they had a corn flour as a breading. Big props to the Dire Wolfe!

    Incredible dinner as always. Surf is THE BEST seafood in New England, hands down. Always fresh, creative, and delicious. Even simple dishes such as the baked haddock (which I had this evening) are a cut above with decadent flavors from an exquisite pan sauce. My dinner companions loved their steamed lobster (great presentation!) and awesome sushi. The warm buttered lobster maki is not to be missed! Our special thanks to Billy the bar manager for his excellent service and cocktails and the manager Chris for always making us feel at home at Surf. Top notch.
