1640 Hart House - Ipswich

The staff were very nice and attentive and the food was delicious. Beautiful and historic on the inside.

I alwats loved the hart house but my last visit was very disappointing the food was sub par .dont think i will be going ack .what a shame they have let the quality of the food fall so far

Kim and Jim are two of the best people and restaurant owners I’ve ever met. The staff is amazing especially the one and only Miss Rosalie Sweeney. The food is excellent, the service is great, and the atmosphere is unique, charming, and relaxing. There is no better restaurant north of Boston!

In 2022 we went to 1640 Hart House for a wedding. We were served prime rib as our main course. In my opinion, the prime rib was the best I ever had in the North Shore area. Sadly to say the 1640 Hart House no longer serves prime rib. This is a huge mistake, and should be added back to the menu. Fast forward to 2024. My wife and I went there for our wedding anniversary. I had the beef tenderloin, while my wife had lobster, shrimp and oysters over risotto. We also had French onion soup for our starter. The soup came in a huge crock, and it was extremely delicious. Our main course food was also delicious, and was served hot. Finally we had desert to top off our meal. The mixed drinks at the 1640 Hart House are large and tasty, with a good pour. I recommend going to this place, but would like to see the most delicious prime rib added back to the menu.

Always an amazing experience at the Hart House. The menu is extensive and quality is top notch. Never leave without a foodieBag or dessert to go. Sooo worth it.
