Bistro 1828 at Pepperrell Cove Restaurant

Most excellent, seafood chowder top notch. Wait staff better than anywhere else. View of the waterfront perfect. Drinks good. You may have to wait, just wait.

Amazing views from the upstairs dining/bar area. Eclectic downstairs dining room/bar. Great cocktails. Delicious apps and entrees. Very attentive and friendly kitchen and waitstaff. Truly enjoyed the whole experience. Highly recommend!

Great place to drink with friends!
It’s Gorgeous!
I just think the menu could be better.

We now live outside of DC in VA. We have traveled back to the seacoast every summer for years. I’ve dined at many, if not all of the other local restaurants. I’m far from a professional food critic but I’d like to think I have a respectable sample size locally and nationally and this was perhaps the best dining experience my wife and I have had in recent years.

From the upstairs bar, full of light and ambiance, to the spectacular vista of the ocean, to the appetizers, to the main course - exceptional. The fried oyster appetizer was exquisite. Lightly battered on a tasty, light sauce. I’m Greek as well, and take offense to most Greek salad attempts. They nailed it. Great Feta, red onion, tomato. Then, the entrees - Good Lord were they great. Lobster risotto and Tuna. The tuna was a deep red, so incredibly fresh. My wife who is a very particular more skilled foodie than I absolutely loved it. As did the couple we dined with. Far and away the best dining experience on the sea coast. Hands down. No other restaurant comes close. Highly recommend.

This is a great new addition to the area and we enjoyed it quite a lot. Good options for food, drinks, and dessert.

Parking is tight during the height of the summer season, so make sure you have a little extra time to find a space. Many of the spots down on the town docks are only for residents and 1-hour, so watch out.
