What are you waiting for? This is our second annual visit. We always have a great meal. Sit outside and relax. Many great choices for adults and children. The Short Rib was a large portion with lots of flavor. The pizza - can be made in two sizes - is delicious (CBR, pepperoni). Save room for dessert. We had a fantastic server with Will. He was friendly, knowledgeable, attentive and hard-working. You've read enough...Go!
This place is the best. My husband is a Boston bruins fan from day one OMG Jay showed up and he was the best!!! Sat next to my husband and gave him a sign autographs. Truly a team player!!
Overall great spot, quality food at good prices with excellent and friendly service. This is ex Boston Bruin Jay Miller's place As a native New Englander it says something when I tell others The Courtyard has the best clam chowder I've ever had.
Great selection of food, huge servings & friendly service. Always crowded so make reservations ahead. Cozy fireplace in dining room, fountain with fire pit outside w/ pizza ovens.
The new sushi menu is outstanding! Lammy clued us in on the new LSP sushi roll...excellent. I also had the poke bowl. It was so fresh and beautifully presented. Thank you Billy and Lammy! Had the pizza last night...perfect.
I recently visited the Courtyard Restaurant and Bar for a post-funeral meal, and I couldn’t have asked for better service during such a sensitive time. Sarah and her staff were incredibly attentive, offering their condolences and making sure our group felt comfortable and well taken care of throughout the meal. They were professional yet warm. The private room provided a peaceful space for reflection and conversation. The food was absolutely delicious. From the appetizers to the dessert, every item was flavorful and satisfying. Overall, the restaurant made a difficult day much more bearable, and I can’t thank them enough for their kind and thoughtful service. It’s a place I’ll definitely return to for future meals, and I highly recommend it for anyone looking for great food and outstanding service.
I stopped by this wonderful restaurant while away on business. Many locals recommended it and I can see why. They had some great seafood. I started things off with a stuffed quahog. The stuffing had a plentiful amount of meat as opposed to too much stuffing which other restaurants try to trick you with. For my dinner, I ate their popular pan seared scallops ALTHOUGH I was offered to get them blackened which is not listed on the menu. It was amazing. The blackened seasoning added this scrumptious crust without taking away the integrity of the scallop. I also fell in love with the risotto which had artichoke hearts within.
I’ve been to the Courtyard quite a few times, some may even call me a regular depending on the time of year. Believe it or not, I’m also considered a regular at many other restaurants and pubs spreading across the East Coast and a few islands due to my long life of bar hopping. That’s enough about me, but the reason why I’m writing is because of Jon. Jon, who I’ve heard many young people call him “Lammy,” is one of the most charming fellows I’ve ever met. Jon didn’t know me from a hole in the wall but I remember the first time I sat down at the Courtyard bar. Jon walked up to serve me and I immediately felt at home. Jon made me feel like he’s known me his whole, young life and he treated me like family. I feel as though Jon doesn’t get the credit he deserves for going out of his way to be the great, charming guy he is, not to mention handsome. He also has a very nice, beautiful wife that I’ve met as well, who is also amazing at what she does. Cheers to you Jon and if it wasn’t for you, I wouldn’t be a regular at the Courtyard.
