Opted to stop here not knowing anything about the restaurant. What a happy surprise. The restaurant was full and we were lucky to get a spot at the bar. Dinner was fabulous and the service excellent. I'd come back here in a heartbeat! But next time I'd be sure to make a reservation.

Located on a tiny crooked little street where you park halfway on the tiny sidewalk and halfway on the street, this small restaurant (seats about 40) and cozy bar (seats about 4) is an absolute delight!! Having eaten on so many places over the years I rarely get so excited about a place so kudos to owner/chef Ken Duckworth!! for... More

Visited Duckworths for the second time last weekend on a trip to Rockport. I've made a mental note that this restaurant has to go on my "must go" list. First, I left my reservation on their answering machine (you MUST have reservations, this place is a sell-out) on Sunday. Despite the fact that they were closed Monday, they returned my... More

The food which was absolutely delicious.(I had the lobster risotto and my husband had a pork dish). We were impressed that nearly every item on the menu could be order as either a half portion or...

We were planning an overnight in Gloucester Harbor and were looking for a place for our post sail evening meal. We arrived early with life jackets and sailing gear but stayed later... More

in this bistro. Signature lobster risotto is a must. Significant other gorged on lamb shank and was equally impressed.

The food was perfectly executed; the duck was incredible! Also great were the seared scallops and lamb. The sauces were so good I wanted to lick my plates. The half-portions allow you to try several different dishes, which makes your choosing easier since you will probably want everything on the menu. The service was also top notch (I think our... More

My wife and I have been regulars and big fans ever since the restaurant opened, dining 6-8 times a year. Lately the sauces have been trending saltier and darker. Don't get me wrong, Ken is a great chef who just needs to step back and re-vision what he's putting on the plate. He needs to lighten up and freshen up... More

This is our new favorite restaurant! Chief Duckworth and his team prepare local and fresh food. Variations of seafood, beef, lamb and pork are so delicious that you have a hard time leaving this place again. Most dishes are available as a small variant (and almost 50% off). Staff is friendly, welcomning and makes you feel at home. We'll be... More
