Winthrop Arms Restaurant

My husband and I have heard good things about this place and finally decided to try it and I'm thankful we did. We started out with ritz crackers along with a pub cheese, and then we received a fresh loaf of bread with butter! All for free to start. We order drinks and my martini came alongside a mini pour of the extra. We had potato wedges and meatballs which were amazing, and then we split the lobster pie with spinach and mashed potatoes. Everything was amazing. The service was great (I was even able to call an hour ahead for a reservation) and it was a little loud early on from kids but it quieted down half way through the meal. Prices are completely reasonable! We will definitely be back!

The Winthrop Arms is an Old-ie, but Good-ie! My wife and I love coming in here for the martinis but sometimes we dine in as well and the food is outstanding. You really get a lot of food for the money too which is always nice in today's economy. The vibe is definitely older with the classic leather booth seating and bread and butter served with the menu. I never leave here hungry! The variety is always great as well - I suggest any of their steak dishes or the chicken cooked under a brick! As always the service was great as well.

We had a good night at the arms. We had a young waitress who was kind and attentive. We get cheese and ritz to start for free and it was delish. Then, we ordered watermelon margaritas and WOW- they were unreal. I will be back specifically for this and our appetizer, the buffalo cauliflower. It was crispy, had a good sauce that wasn't too salty, and had HUGE pieces with a good side sauce. I got the lobster 3 ways and it was pretty good, the scallops were delicious but the lobster was quite over cooked. I got it with spinach and lemon rice and broccoli- both were very good and the rice was HUGE! My friend got the steak tips and they were flavorful and cooked to her liking.

Last night for date night, my hunny and I went to Winthrop Arms Hotel & Restaurant for dinner- we hadn't been there in a while!On Thursday's, they have $1.25 oysters; they were quite small (it's difficult to tell from the pic), but they were fresh & delicious! Typically when I go out to dinner I'll order a seafood entree, but people always rave about Doc's chicken pot pie, so my curiousity got the best of me and I ordered it. It was SO good! It doesn't necessarily look like a big portion, but it really was- I took most of it home! The mashed potatoes that came with it were quite good, but still not as good as my late mother's (nothing beats hers IMO). This is TRUE comfort food for sure, and I'd definitely get this again! My hunny had the lobster pasta that was on special- the portion was good, there was plenty of lobster in it, and the flavor was great. The only problem with it was that it was quite evident that the lobster meat had been previously frozen. Once lobster meat has been frozen, it changes its texture (not for the better by any means), and that was clearly the case here. Cocktails (not pictured): He had a blueberry martini, and I the lemon drop martini- both were great! Service: Our server was very friendly, but a bit slow considering the place wasn't really busy at the time we were there. Thankfully, we weren't in any big rush, so it wasn't a big deal. Cleanliness: Generally speaking, everything was well kept. I judge a lot of the cleanliness by how well the bathroom is kept, but I didn't use it, so I can't speak to that. Ambiance: It's simple but I like it! It's also nice to be able to smell the ocean air as you come in and out of there- heavenly! Summary: It's definitely a place to go, and we'll certainly be back!

Cozy place - just what I was looking for while visiting Winthrop and dining alone. The service excellent while not being overly attentive (a pet peeve when I'm eating alone - like if I wanted company I'd have it) Any way - the food was excellent. I didn't have room to try everything I wanted so I am going to have to go back and lucky me - they have a st Patty's day dinner! I had the quahog with bacon - simply divine. I ordered a spicy margarita priced at $13 on the menu but was $15 on my bill. No biggie but check your tab

Old school New England seafood restaurant! Feels like 1995, but the quality is still there and it's still a good value! Did seem a little overpriced. Restaurant hasn't changed in 30 years.

It was my mother's 94th birthday and her request was to have lunch at Winthrop Arms. We started off with a few appetizers- Fried Calamari- which I'll rate a solid 10 - Stuffed Mushrooms- solid 8- Coconut Shrimp- solid 10 and a side of meatballs- solid 4.5 not so tasty. Brother, Al , mother, and myself had the Turkey Dinner, Solid 9- my two nephews had a pasta and Lobster Dish that looked and smelled amazing- they rated it a solid 8.5, my sister in law had a cheeseburger that she ordered medium well when it arrived it was cooked medium rare and the taste,to salty. That wasn't a big hit, sadly, for her. We ordered a strawberry shortcake for dessert - the biscuit was stale but the Ice cream, strawberries and whip cream were delicious. Would we go back? Absolutely.On a whole it was very good.

My last two visits here have disappointed me...I have recently noticed that your Caesar Salad...has not been as good as I remember it...I ranked your salad as one of the best I have ever had. I have missed the "shredded cheese" that has made this dish so good, It adds so much flavor to it...without it...it's like every one else's.....walter r white...winthrop, mass

If they were opened at lunch at least Thursday, Friday and Saturday, I would definitely give them a five star

Never encountered such a poorly run hire/ front desk. using corner of bar as check in?? Guy who didn't work there had to call owner to get us checked into a room.This place recently remodeled but looks like lip stuck on a pig! Poor workmanship, fire company out early in am due to false fire alarm. All tenants evacuated neighbors told us it happens all the time nothing was permitted just it it looks. Stay anywhere but here! Food just ok!
