Review Passports Restaurant - Gloucester

Great dining experience. We had a crab cake for an appetizer, summer salads and the fish wrap were amazing. Great customer service. We were greeted with warm popovers and butter.

What a great little spot. The atmosphere is cozy and perfect for chatting and catching up. The host and wait staff are friendly and welcoming. The food is great and the popovers add a nice touch. The only issue I had was a meal called for risotto and was served with rice. It still tasted amazing and didn't stop me from going back.

We had a great time and the food was delicious. Mussels were abundant as an appetizer and we got the awesome bread. Had the Asian curry with lobster and sisters haddock. Overall, a decent price for the meal $71 before tax and tips.

Delicious popovers, very good clam chowder, both my wife's salmon and my sauteed haddock were well prepared. Good service as well . We have been back several times since our first visit and all of the food has been excellent every time!

First time at this restaurant, wasn't sure what to expect, but we were pleasantly pleased. Food and service was great. The fish was delightful, says my Sweetheart, and the steak was cooked perfectly, cobb salad for two was also great.Chris , the host, is top notch, awesome, a really nice gentleman. He steps in and helps out wherever it's needed, like bringing those popovers, smoking hot to the table , or polishing the tableware as I saw him doing as we were leaving. He's not like some hosts I've seen at other places, standing around with their thumb up their arse. Cheers to you Chris and also our waitress who was also awesome, got us anything we wanted in a timely manner. The only gripe small table for 2. I like to be spread out when I dine, but I understand. Next time I will request a table in the main room. Thankyou for your hospitality, much appreciated ! We'll be back !!!

We have eaten here for years and it’s always very good. Recently we got take out and everything was delicious. The prices are more reasonable than many other places in the area. It feels like a good value. Staff is friendly and the atmosphere is charming. We Love the popovers! You don’t see them at other restaurants anymore. Such a treat!

The popovers set the tone for a fantastic meal - we loved everything we tried including the bread pudding for dessert! Loved the local sole special and duck breast. The staff was also extremely friendly! Highly recommend and would come back.

My friend and I had a great time eating lunch here over the weekend! Lobster roll and hazelnut crusted chicken were fantastic. Popovers were delicious as well. The staff was so kind and even chased me out do the restaurant when I forgot my leftovers!

Firstly, the service is amazing and they welcome you with a warm bun and butter. All the dishes we tried were delicious, definitely try the special menu. A lot of variety with fresh ingredients. We had a pleasant dinner

Amazing food + great services. This was our first time at the Passports and we had a wonderful time dining here. They serve the best fresh seafood. The food can’t get better and the prices are fair for the portion size. Always a great spot to get great food.

A nice spot in Gloucester for dinner! I got the “Sister’s Haddock” — described as the “people’s favorite” it’s a local fillet with hazelnut crust, pan roasted with lemon wine butter. I got mine with potatoes! Consider me part of the people, because this was my favorite dish while on vacation.

Delighted by the popovers. Such a warm way to open a meal. A welcome extension of our obsession with them on a Maine vacation. Had a bit of trouble choosing since several menu items were unique, offered with twist and tempting. Went with the clam chowder, mushroom torte, Sister's Haddock, and Chicken Roquefort. All excellent. Mushroom torte is texturally sensational and flavorful if you are a fan of bold, savory dishes. Portions are generous and the staff is wonderful.

Awesome little restaurant. Surprised by the freshly baked popovers served when you sit down. I had the Cajun Haddock sandwich. Wife had the Crab cake BLT. Both were delicious. Highly recommended.

Our new favorite restaurant! Visiting from Southern NH and we were pleasantly surprised! Decided to try it out after two recommendations by local shop owners. Could NOT of asked for better meals! We were thrilled at the quality of food, pricing and service! We will be back!

Loved our meal, owner is friendly. Could barely get my mouth around the crabcake BLT. They started us out with warm popovers. Great!

The mushroom torte is to die for. We shared a goat cheese salad and a scallop entree, ended up taking most of the salad home, which was still delicious the next day. We go to this place once a year during the Craft Fair and look forward to it perhaps more than the Fair because the food is consistently delicious. The restaurant is cozy and usually bustling. The decor is neighborhood bar, with old wooden floors, and very clean and welcoming. Staff hustle, always. And as always, we wished we lived closer than an hour away so we could eat there more often. Poppovers! Need I say more?

5 star restaurant with great service. Seafood casserole was awesome. The lobster roll was delicious. Clam chowder and gumbo were perfect. Would not hesitate to return, highly recommend.

Favorite place to work & favorite place to eat. Eric has carried this restaurant for decades to be a welcoming and family oriented environment. Yummy popovers great staff and a great overall vibe of the space . Thank you Eric and Dawn for the amazing experience

Our first time visiting Gloucester, and the Maritime Museum recommended "Passports" to us 3 girls, for lunch. We are so glad they did!!The fresh out of the oven popovers, were an unexpected and delicious treat! The half Caesar salad was the best I have ever had! The salmon and albacore tacos were insanely good. The shrimp quesadilla was wonderful and the service was outstanding, even on a busy Friday afternoon! By far, the BEST food we had during our trip to Massachusetts! �

We went there after whale watching and seated my significant other's expectations and he's a very picky eater. It was a great way to end the day and everything was cooked to perfection. The only criticism I will say is that the music wasn't family-friendly for kids but I don't think that's the type of crowd they're trying to bring in. Very chic, very hip, and very modern.

Lovely atmosphere...dim without being dingey. Professional and knowledgable servers...beautiful presentation of food that tastes as good as it looks! (Also accommodates food allergies. I'm a Celiac and was stoked about the well-rounded gluten free menu!)

We dined at Passports last Friday night , June 27th. Thank you Tripadvisor as we would not have sought out this establishment otherwise. We have been summering in Gloucester for the past 20 years and for some reason the establishment never caught our eye. Our server was fantastic and with reservations were seated in the left storefront window which was a special treat with Saint Peters Fiesta Weekend. The rawbar appetizer was collossal wiith an excellent meal which followed. Our compliments to the kitchen staff who were well attired and professional in appearance. Passports is worthy of table linen and would be my only suggestion. The dining room is missing color and the use of tablecloths is a symbol of fine dining which is why I rated Passports a four out of five. Also the hot water in the restroom comes out at boiling temperature and is a liability (seriously) Please do yourself a favor before someone gets injured and call a plumber immediately and get this fixed.

Cute place downtown. Ribeye was worth 28 bucks!

Went there twice while in town for business. the first experience was great. The second experience was horrible. I ordered the paella. The sausage was kielbasa and the flavor was very overpowering. Once I mentioned this to the server she rolled her eyes and didn't offer any solutions. I left hungry and went and had Chinese food up the street.

One of the best meals we've ever had! I had the crab cake appetizer, and the mushroom truffle appetizer, my husband had a burger, and we were both impressed! Definitely will be going back!

Very good. The Sashimi scallops on top of seaweed Salas was delicious.

I own a. company called Cape Ann Foodie Tours. We do walking culinary and historic tours. I've been on a mission to find the best Fish Tacos around and Passports is the winner! My friends loved their fish dinners. Looking forward to returning soon and bringing my guests there!

foods dank..staff is beatiful...vibe is irie...ownership is great...gottah get tha new patatas
