Fathoms - Fairhaven

When we finally ordered lunch, everyone was thrilled with their choices. In all the fun, I only managed to take a photo of my own dish: the Scallop Seaweed Salad. It featured a generous serving of perfectly pan-seared scallops over a bowl of wakame seaweed, tossed in sesame oil and sprinkled with sesame seeds. Each scallop was topped with a dash of hot sauce. The seafood was fresh, and the flavors complemented each other beautifully. I truly enjoyed it and finished every last bite. The others seemed to love their meals as well, with their plates cleared in no time. We stayed for about two hours, playing games and exchanging gifts Yankee Swap style. We made quite a bit of noise and a little mess, but Kayla was encouraging, efficient, good-humored, and patient throughout. She even participated in the game and received a prize for her outstanding service. If you find yourself in the New Bedford or Fairhaven areas, I highly recommend stopping by. Make sure to say hello to Kayla for me!

Excellent food, service, and drinks! The location by the water is stunning. I really love the illuminated glass bar top. The atmosphere is casual, and the food selection is fantastic.

We visited this place after seeing all the positive reviews. It has more of a dive bar vibe rather than a waterfront restaurant. Our server was friendly. The clam chowder was excellent, and the honey scallops were decent; however, the crab cakes were disappointing. They were heavily seasoned and lacked substantial crab meat. Additionally, the bathroom floor was quite sticky.

I really liked this place! We came for a nice little family dinner and the food was delicious. They have lots of good options. It was a bit loud and crowded but honestly that was only because there was a game on and I was told it isn't usually like that so I would definitely recommend stopping in!

Just a magnificent restaurant here on the edge of New Bedford. It's one of those places that you don't want to talk too much about because you're worried they might not have a seat for you next time. But the scallops here may very well be the best we have ever had anywhere in the world. Super sweet and just outrageously fresh. You feel like you're out on the boat catching them, and we have been in here several times already, trying them in every different way possible. The taste is the same, simply spectacular. The atmosphere at the restaurant is mind blowing, you are right next to the bridge that has allowed scallopers in and out of New Bedford harbor for more than 100 years and it is literally right in front of you. You could not ask for a better seat. The servers and bartenders are similarly just fantastic. There's no other way to be more clear about their service. You are not really taken care of until YOU are ready to be. It's a stunning treatment, and not at all what has become the normal in places these days. We simply cannot recommend this place any higher. We wonder how much we are even able to rate other places anymore because they have clearly made their place THE one to stop for.
