Love this place! We’ve been here about half a dozen times, most recently twice in mid-December 2023 for a special occasion. The food is always uniformly good (this time, lobster and spinach salads) and the service is always excellent. Javier, a manager, helped me orchestrate a birthday surprise and Horace, a bartender helped as well. The prices are also quite reasonable and as a bonus, Perkins Cove (right outside the door) is a perfect little stroll around after dinner. Do yourself a favor and go!

Went for a romantic dinner out, got seated in a cute little table ordered drinks and… 5 obnoxious women sat at the bar next to us and proceeded be be loud and annoying. Just venting lol My husband ordered the swordfish which was 5+stars, the main reason we went there. I had the lobster Mac n cheese. It was loaded with lobster, but the cheese was a little soupy.

MC Perkins is a decent spot - but its also kind of silly and kitschy. You are given new utensils between every "course". If you want ice for your water - its served with a spoon. Lol. I guess serving water with ice already in it is too... bohemian? As for the food: I tried a lot of it. It's a mixed bag. Complimentary bread: Its ok. Very salty. Calamari: Its not good. The breading is very salty and the lime-based sauce pairing felt wrong to me. Fried artichokes: Good. Interesting sauce pairings. Good breading. Clam Chowder: It has unique ingredients but I felt it was bland. Poorly seasoned. Swordfish: Decent. Orzo and red sauce pairing is bland. Lasagna special: Very good. The best dish I had. Unique flavor palette - similar to a greek pastitio with peppers. Honey Cake dessert / lavendar icecream: Very good. Light and refreshing. MC Perkins is more of a "Date Spot". It has amazing views, and kind of an "upscale" atmosphere. If I could go 3.5/5 I would. But the food is unique and it has great views.

First of all huge shout out to Dana, who was bar tending while I was sitting at the bar waiting for the rest of my dinner party to arrive. She was so sweet, personable, genuine, and kind. My evening had started out a bit rocky. She could definitely tell, and thanks to her, it quickly smoothed out. Something to note about M.C. Perkins, is that you 100% can not be seated until your entire party arrives, there are no exceptions. I was a little disappointed, as I had driven 2 hours to make a visit here, and was hoping to be seated and to ensure we got a water view. My party was late, and the seats were filling quickly. Dana ensured that when my friend did arrive, we were given one of the best seats in the house. The view was by far the most breathtakingly, stunning dinner views I have experienced. The restaurant is so incredibly close to the ocean 🌊. We could see boats as they passed and waves as they crashed. The food was top-notch. I ordered the roasted chicken on grilled romaine w/crispy quinoa. The meat was so tender and well seasoned that I did not need to reach for the salt or any other additions. The crispy quinoa was a lovely touch, and the house smokey, maple barbecue was an excellent compliment to an already phenomenal meal. I would 10/10 recommend. Note that parking is not guaranteed and runs about 25$. I would give yourself extra time to find parking. I look forward to returning.

The view was great. The staff were wonderful. The food was delicious. The quaint area it is located in has so much charm it is truly a gem. Service was quick, professional, and friendly. Families are welcome. Saw two parents and two kids there when dining. Great spot for any occasion, brunch with friends, dinner date, family outting, anniversary, etc. Prices are moderate. But the view and quality of your food and experience will have you leaving feeling like it was worth it. Service Dine in Meal type Brunch

Great location, and atmosphere. Nice but not trying too hard. I was excited to eat here finally. I wish I had enjoyed the food more. I had the beef tenderloin which was supposed to come with mushrooms and homemade pasta. Tenderloin was undercooked and lacking seasoning. Pasta was mushy and bland, mushrooms were maybe in the sauce? My girlfriend had swordfish paired with a medley of roasted squash, pearl onions, and steamed pea pods. Swordfish was dry, and the vegetables were a strange combination. Coffee came ten minutes after our dessert, which was also not great. A strange cookie with blueberry sauce and fresh blueberries called a tartlet. Nearly $300 with tip on dinner for 2, and we agreed it really wasnt worth it. Food: 2 Service: 4 Atmosphere: 4

We came here for an anniversary dinner, and I'm confident we'll be back. We were here *years* ago when it was a different name. If the surf is rough the views are breathtaking. We had top-to-bottom great service, met kind people, had really good recommendations when we were stuck on the menu, and a nice touch at dessert time, recognizing our anniversary. We're long-time OGT visitors and walk the cove all the time. We're really glad we made it a point to have dinner. Everything was great.
