Fogarty's - South Berwick

Had a nice Saturday late lunch with family coming in from several locations. Everyone cleaned their plate! Brought home butternut cranberry soup and Indian pudding for next day. We'll be back. Servers were friendly, quick.

Just disappointed, extremely disappointed with a long time family favorite. I 'm in high hopes there is someone else working here with more knowledge about running a restaurant than the manager working on Saturday February 24th. My fiancé and I had ordered takeout dinner. Haddock Nuggets with fries , Lobster stew and Gorgonzola steak tip salad. Upon opening our dinner when we got home, we first noticed there was 2 small cups , one being the lobster stew and the other , we had no idea. No salad dressing , nor an extra side of dressing as ordered OR a side of tartar sauce for the fried fish , in which we would obviously assume it would come along with. The mystery small cup contained WARM Gorgonzola chunks with dressing and a layer of butter? Or oil ? Layered on top. Terrible , whatever it was , it smelled and tasted awful. The lobster stew was basically lobster chucks/ pieces a fair amount soaking in that same hot buttery/oil. Our order looked very rushed and for almost $70 for two people , unacceptable. Taken back , as we 've both gone to Fogartys for many many years , my fiancé decided to call. The manager was put on the phone and was not very apologetic .. A simple oh I 'm sorry , we will send out a gift card . We ended up throwing everything away. About a week later we received the gift card .... $5.00. Five dollars ? It was honestly an insult. Being in the restaurant industry for over 15 years I 'm baffled, I understand the shortage on staff and maybe a busy Saturday night .... but I could never dismiss a loyal customer so easily.

The review was of the Fogarty's Restaurant in Key West, Florida. Please disregard. The review of any other restaurant was retracted,

It's the second time I've been here in 15 years. The last time there was something on my glass, and surprisingly years later I had something on my glass again. I chose not to complain about it. I just wiped it off. It was something solid, not a water stain. It was in my water glass before I poured my water. I was in a large group and they gave us two servers. The servers were fantastic. The food was good. My husband's turkey was good, I tried a bite. It was no salty at all like a lot of restaurant turkey. The stuffing was a little overly salty, though. My fish was cooked perfect, and the mashed potatoes were yum. O would go back- I honestly can't believe I got dirty glasses twice with about 15 years in between, it had to be a strange fluke. But the service and the food will bring me back. Hopefully try 3 will be perfect, and I don't plan to wait another 15 years before I go back.

I hadn 't been here in years, a lot of years. It 's still the same! Clam chowder was fantastic . Scallops were plentiful and cooked perfectly. Broccoli overcooked. Chicken florentine special was tasty but served with powdered mashed. Desserts made in house were decadent and huge we got them to go). Pepsi products . Our waitress was very nice and wait wasn 't too bad.
