Michael's Harborside

Good food and service! They have nice views of the sea and always have specials

I had the clam chowder and the haddock po boy . Was very good. My sister had fried clams and scallops and they were amazing. Great service and was an enjoyable time. I will come back again.

Upper deck outside is first come, first served. The views are worth the wait!

They hold a free Veteran's Dinner for all Newburyport Veterans every year on Veteran's Day, and offer discount cards for the veterans as well . They have my vote. (Plus, the food is good, too! LOL) Read more

The service was excellent by the menu reads: fish taco with fresh cilantro aioli . When I ask where the aioli might be, don't bring me a runny version of your tarter sauce. Nasty.

Excellent place for seafood with outdoor seating and beautiful view of Merrimack River .

Some of the best oysters in New England can be found here. Great atmosphere too.

The extra large lobster roll is touted, but what really works are the views and the quick lunch service.

Get there early if you want a table on the outside deck .

Amazing food, great gluten free options , and now GLUTEN FREE SUSHI !

Great restaurant and bar .... nice place!

Really good lobster roll with homemade chips . Try to sit at one of the decks.

The view , the bloody mary and a lobster roll .

Enjoyed a Father's Day lunch (party of 5) ...outdoor seating , overlooking the water and boats, and didn't have reservations . It was a nice time!

If you're hungry and ordering the lobster roll , take their advice and "get the large". The small may underwhelm you otherwise.

Fish tacos ! Ask for a side of remoulade sauce !

Seafood pasta toss , fried scallops and tips

In the summer sit on the deck. The tuna is really yummy!

Great claim chowder ! And beers always good!

They have the best Prime Rib around. Try it with Sweet Potato Fries .

Great lobster and even better drinks!

Went there specifically for lobster . They were out!

Wonderful food and friendly service .

Great lobster roll and swordfish .

Fun hangout place with a pretty average food and drinks

Lobster was great!

Great seafood here, get the haddock and shrimp basket .

Simply fabulous!!!

Innocent Bystander moscato is great!

Try the lobster bisque it's to die for!!!

Meh. Seems like everything is fried. Deck seating overlooking the harbor is nice. Full bar and hearth.

The lobster pie is incredible! Trust me. I'm a random stranger.

Was okay. Great views made up for the mostly-fried menu.

Looks like the food & service has gone down hill . Portions are super small & it took forever to get our food on Father's Day. Guess michaelsharborside is only good for drinks. Major disappointment.

Great Fish Tacos

Coconut shrimp & fried pickles .. Bomb

Was very disappointed with the quality of food. My tacos were not that great. Maybe the awesome outdoor seating distracts people from the food.

Fish tacos are awesome!!!!!

Ipswich clams ....yum

Great night life on the weekends

The wait staff is quite pleasant! Especially if you're seated in Derek's section

Get the lazy man lobster pie !

If you can, sit on the deck

The fried pickles are awesome!

Don't not try the fish soup/chowder...see? I couldn't even stop eating it for the picture.
