Clearly there are a few staples to the Taste crowd, but you might by surprised to see a hotel on the list. Wentworth by the Sea has a few restaurant choices so it’s tough to know which (or if all) are getting the rank of 3 this month. However – we can say that the hotel’s main dining – set in the beautiful dining rooms off of the lobby – offers excellent holiday menus. Our last try was for Mother’s Day and the set menu was delicious and service was excellent. Best of all, the value was unbelievable. We highly recommend advance reservations – between hotel and local guests, the tables fill quickly.  

A new addition to the list is 10 Center Street – which looks like an exciting new choice. The online menus and decor means we may have to take a trip to Newburyport! Plus it looks like they make some cool drinks too!
