About Us

Hello, we're Don & Melanie Burnham and we've been serving the locals of Cape Ann since 1984. Our past experiences include being food and beverage directors at a local country club and recently managers of a local restaurant and clambake company.

Our extensive front and back of the house experience enable us to provide very personal and hands on expertise.

We specialize in classic coastal cuisine, serving the freshest seafood directly from the docks of Gloucester for our lobsters and haddock, while our clams are dug locally on the flats of Essex or Ipswich. Local farms provide us with seasonal fresh produce, especially corn on the cob and strawberries for our shortcakes.

We're all about crafting delicious experiences for you and your guests!
