Overlooking King's Beach which is in Swampscott and Lynn, is this jewel of a restaurant. It was a gloomy, damp day when we visited, but we watched the gulls working the low tide. We were there for an early dinner, and were seated by the window right away. Delicious, fresh bread was served with hummus to tide us over while... More

Ate brunch at the Red Rock Bistro. We were seated promptly, however the services was VERY slow. There were other tables of the same size that came in after us and left long before we did. To be fair we did have appetizers and not sure if they did or not but the time from entering to leaving was long.... More

My girlfriend and I ate here the other night for dinner. We sat at a table by the window and enjoyed the beautiful view of the ocean along with the sunset that evening. She ordered a beer and I a mixed drink, which was made well. They provided free bread with humus, although I'm not a humus fan, so asked... More

Great service, first beer was a bit warm, service was excellent, pork shank was delicious but side dish was cold. I had read horrible reviews, but was surprised to find it was actually quite nice and I will definitely return!!!'

My wife and I enjoyed and excellent meal with superb service this weekend at Red Rock Bistro is Swampscott, MA. Red Rock is located directly on the ocean at 141 Humphrey Street. The views of the beach and sunset are very nice. We started with cocktails and they were well-made. Red Rock mixes a good drink and has good menu... More

Food has had a significant uplift at armed Rock. Sword Fish chop was SPECTACULAR. Service was good; and all with a skyline of Boston and the ocean. After dinner live band takes over on Fri and Sat. Love it. Free parking and a lively bar. Love it. If you are local, hands down best place around.

We had a groupon and our meal was not memorable. Food was not prepared carefully. We were very disappointed although the view of the ocean is lovely.

I went to the Red Rock for dinner with my boyfriend. I bought a Groupon a while back and it was close to expiring. We made a reservation and were seated on time. The parking is on street and though it's now winter, I can only imagine the difficulty finding a spot when the warmer weather arrives. To start I... More

Tried Red Rock Bistro with a Groupon. Everything was excellent. The homemade hummus served with bread was delicious. The rib appetizer was very flavorful and fell off the bone. The lemon chicken cooked under a brick was moist and tasty. I really liked that you can order the shrimp cocktail by the piece. I just wanted one piece and it... More
