Fathoms Waterfront Grille - New Bedford

I visited this restaurant last weekend and ordered the prime rib. I was surprised to learn that the two sides were an additional $3 each. The portion size was generous at 12 ounces, but unfortunately, only 4 ounces of it was meat - the rest was fat. I believe that for $40 per plate, the food should at least be edible.

The shrimp scampi was delicious! The bartender/server at the outdoor bar was very friendly and accommodating.

My wife and I enjoyed a wonderful lunch on the deck overlooking the harbor. The calamari was perfectly cooked, lightly breaded and tender. My fish and chips were delicious, lightly breaded and fresh. My wife was pleased with her fried cod and scallops.

Excellent food and drinks with cool nautical decor. The seafood is always fresh and there's plenty to choose from for those who don't do seafood. 10/10

Perhaps the best restaurant in the area, Fathoms' French Onion Soup and its Clam Chowder start your dining experience on a high note. The seafood and meat entrees delight the most discerning diner. If you still have room for dessert, Fathoms' will not disappoint. Try a handcrafted **** Mary with a pickle or one of the complete bar's offerings to complete your dining experience.
