Shea's Riverside Restaurant Bar - Essex

AWFUL EXPERIENCE! We came here for my friends birthday, there was no hospitality. They are not upfront and transparent with their pricing not to mention biting into RAW CHICKEN!!!!! Don’t waist your time. We called back to fix our bill since they added a whole extra plate and the manager simply had nothing to say. Did not give us back our money for something we didn’t agree with in our bill

Where tradition meets taste! What a great local find. A wonderful “traditional” restaurant that also has items on the menu that are fabulous such as the halibut special made with a Brazilian sauce and the high end (reasonably priced wine list! Everything was amazing including the swordfish, chowder and salad. Service from everyone was great especially Megan and the manager Everett! Can’t wait to go back to try the lobster roll!

Excellent sitting on the deck today. Chris was an attentive and friendly waiter. We especially enjoy the shrimp crostini appetizer, and the salmon burger and fish sandwich were delicious. Service: Dine in Meal type: Lunch Price per person: $100+ Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5

Lovely (but small! deck on the water, excellent food and service was great! Meal type: Dinner Price per person: $20–30 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5 Parking space: Plenty of parking Parking options Free parking lot

Overall, the service and food were decent, with a rating of 4 out of 5. However, the atmosphere was severely impacted by the bee problem, resulting in a low score of 1. Overall, we were disappointed with our experience. The meal was priced at $30-50 per person and was categorized as brunch.
