3 3 5 Cohasset Harbor Resort 124 Elm St, Cohasset, MA 781-383-6650 The Cohasset Harbor Resort is made up of the Cohasset Harbor Inn, Brisa Tapas and Wine, Olde Salt House, and Atlantica restaurant. This compound on the water offers its guests a choice of dining styles and patios. Attached to Atlantica restaurant, but with its own menu, Olde Salt House is a clam shack with an upscale bent. Olde Salt House boasts one of the only "peninsula" patios in the state, and with its teak furniture and gorgeous views of the harbor, it is a lovely place to relax after work or on a Saturday night. Tables are first come, first serve, so arrive early to avoid the wait! Sea Dog Brew Pub 2 A St. Hull, MA 781-773-1840 The famous Maine Micro-Brewery has landed in Hull! Overlooking the Sunset Bay Marina, the Boston Harbor Islands, and the Boston Skyline, the deck at Sea Dog Brew Pub has one of the best sunset views on the South Shore. The deck opens in mid-April, and seating is first come, first serve. The Sea Dog hand crafted beers are served with pride, and seafood dominates the menu. The Lobster Rangoons are, by far, the most popular item on the menu. Reggae Brunch at Sea Dog has become a popular Sunday tradition, and guests will enjoy live music played right on the deck. If you are a boater, you can tie up your boat at one of the Sea Dog slips. Hint: Arrive by 7:00pm in the summer to witness the famous sunset. 4 5 Across the harbor, at the Cohasset Harbor Inn, Brisa Tapas and Wine serves up some of the best tapas on the South Shore. With its magnificent harbor view, and lush herb and flower gardens, Brisa, which means "breeze" in Spanish, has the best of land and sea. Fresh herbs are used in the kitchen, giving the food its authentic Spanish flavor. Enjoy a pitcher of Brisa's famous Sangria as you settle into the comfortable lounge seating. As Brisa is attached to the Inn, it could close on certain Saturday nights for weddings and events. Both Olde Salt House and Brisa Tapas and Wine are officially open from Memorial Day to Labor Day, although they have been known to open earlier if the weather permits. We certainly endured a long, hard winter. Now it is our responsibility to get out there and enjoy the longer days and warmer nights. With all the patios available to us, there is something for everyone! 4 Alma Nove 22 Shipyard Dr. Hingham 781-749-3353 HERE ARE SOME NOTABLE PATIOS TO VISIT THIS SPRING & SUMMER! The Hingham Shipyard is home to another patio on our list. Alma Nove, the restaurant founded by Executive Chef Paul Wahlberg and his brothers Mark and Donnie Wahlburg, opened in 2010, much to the excitement of the local residents. Their patio, which includes both a water view and a gas firepit surrounded by sofas and dining tables, is available on a first come, first serve basis. The menu is a creative blend of Italian and Mediterranean cuisine, and the full menu is available on the patio. It features such delights as Island Creek Oysters, and wood grilled swordfish with mashed potatoes. Alma Nove also has a special "After 9" menu for late night. The patio is enclosed by a glass wall, which protects guests from stiff sea breezes, while allowing them to view the marina. In the summer, the patio gets fairly crowded, so arriving early is recommended. And you never know…you may see someone famous there. spring ~2013 14 UNIONPlymouth ADAMS INNQuincy ALBAQuincy BEACH FIREHull BRIDGEMAN'SHull CAFFE TOSCAHingham DBAR Dorchester DOG WATCHScituate HINGHAM BEER WORKSHingham HOLAMarshfield JO'S NAUTICALHull MILL WHARFScituate PARAGON GRILLHull RED PARROTHull RIVAScituate RUSTIC KITCHENHingham SCARLET OAKHingham SIRO'SQuincy THE DECK ON GREEN HARBORMarshfield TK O'MALLEY'SScituate UNION FISHPlymouth/Hingham Cynthia Rosenfeld is a freelance writer, co-owner of Main Street Media Group, and author of the www.HinghamFoodie. com South Shore restaurant blog.
