The ice cream flavors are endless and the subs hit the spot after a day on the beach. The gluten free pizza crust is really good too.

We were a party of four and had appetizers & a late lunch at 3:00 pm. The fried gluten free options are amazing! They have a dedicated gf fryer. The gf sweet potato fries and lightly crisped gf fried clams were delicious! Others non gf persons had lobster rolls, (good size for the price), and sushi. Apps were Peach Burrata with pistachios, fried buffalo cauliflower, and seaweed salad. They have an excellent selection of seafood, sushi & sandwiches & salads. They have an outside seating deck. We ate inside but still had a view.

I had a romantic dinner on the deck of the 1606 restaurant the other night. It is very European to sit outside even on a cooler night with blankets. I had a shrimp risotto (gluten free) Unfortunately it is only an appetizer size and they couldn’t make it bigger for me to have this as my main course. It tasted heavenly. I ordered a gluten-free burger and Caesar salad after . I was happy they were able accommodate my gluten-free request. They have a good selection of wine to choose from. The view and the atmosphere is absolutely incredible. As they had two functions that night they don’t take reservations. We had about an hour wait to get a table. It is a super fun place to go to. I highly recommend it

I found this place on my gluten free app while driving around Massachusetts. Had a really tasty wrap. The wrap was so soft I was worried it wasn't gluten free! It wasn't crumbly like most gluten free wraps tend to be.

Literally the best food ever! My sister and I travel and love to stop at local eateries. We were passing through Rockport and Gloucester while visiting family and friends but found ourselves famished. After a quick search and analysis of the fellow reviews, we decided on Lobsta Land. We had the Fisherman's Stew, Haddock Chowder, Parmesan truffle fries and a House Salad - and yes the two of us ate it all! My sister has a gluten allergy so finding a chowder that is flour-free is not always an easy task. Pleased to say the food was so good that we opted to leave Salem (in our travels south from Portsmouth) to turn completely around, back track to Gloucester for another round of stew and chowder - No regrets. The second time around in 3 days was just as amazing as the first. The fish was all cooked perfectly, there was no heavy salting and it was so fresh, you could still taste the sea in the fish. 20/10 would ABSOLUTELY recommend again and again... Can't wait to travel back!

My organization recently hosted a team dinner at Yella on the Water, and I want to share how great of an experience we had. We worked with Matt to plan our menu and flow of the evening. We hosted a short and informal arrival/cocktail gathering on the patio. The view overlooks the water and was perfect on a transitional summer-to-fall night. We ordered a few appetizers which were setup as a station and the servers took drink orders. It was a lovely ambiance. We then had entrees and dessert inside. Our team pre-selected meals ahead of arriving, though the team was able to make adjustments on-site, and this made for a smooth and quick transition. The food was delicious. Notably, they accommodated several dietary restrictions including a gluten allergy, vegetarians, and dairy free guests. All of the allergens are clearly noted on the menu, so it made planning and selecting easy, too. Throughout the entire night, Matt and the service team were fantastic. They were so kind and nice to engage with. Our team raved about the location, food, service, and ambiance. I highly recommend Yella on the Water for a group dinner or just as a restaurant to visit!

Celiac friendly! 🥳 The staff was so wonderfully accommodating to my allergy during a busy catered private event. They made quickly & happily made me individual GF dishes. The ragu pasta & salads were delicious. The staff was kind, friendly, knowledgeable & efficient across the board! I will definitely be returning here with friends and family. Also happened to have a stylish aesthetic & great coastal view with lobster traps & docked boats visible from most of the restaurant.
