Duckworth's Bistrot - Gloucester

Great place to pick up a quick bite for lunch or dinner. All homemade meals and baked goods along with a beautifully curated selection of home goods. Owners are the nicest!

We were not prepared for the non-Boston portions (or prices) that we found at Duckworth 's Bistrot. All of the menu items come in a half size but our server definitely undersold the portions because the full sizes were massive! She said the half size would be around 6 oz and the full would be around 8 oz but honestly our lobster risotto seemed more like 10! So full of lobster and so rich, I probably only had about 10 bites. He also enjoyed a pickle martini and I also enjoyed my cocktail, which was stiff and floral. The place is TINY so don 't come without a reservation!

I have always been an enormous fan of Duckworth's over the years. One of the many sad customers when they closed over the pandemic. Super psyched when I opened back up, even if only as a lunch spot, I went in the other day and purchased a Cuban. I felt nothing but super ripped off when I brought the sandwich home to find it 99.99% bread with slender thin slices inside. Disappointed is an understatement. You might expect that at Panera but I thought Duckworth's was better than that.

The Cubano sandwich was very good. Could use a little more of the sauce on it, but was still very tasty.

As a long time fan of Duckworth's Bistro I was eagerly awaiting their reopening. Their new incarnation exceeded all my expectations, the food is absolutely delicious, the service incredible, and it is definitely a jewel of a spot. If you haven't been, get yourself there! If you have partaken I'm sure you'll agree it is a worthy replacement. Don't get me wrong, I will always have fond memories of the original restaurant but this is a keeper!
