The Farmasea - Gloucester

Really great brunch. The lobster dishes had ample meat in the to justify the price. All the employees were very friendly.

Good food and service. There wasn't much for atmosphere the night I went as it was pretty much empty. I got the crab stuffed flounder, which was done well.

Probably the best restaurant in the area for a romantic, low stress, classy but non pretentious meal. Most people there were dressed very casually, but the atmosphere was a little upscale. Don 't pass it by because you think you 're not dressed for it you 'll be fine!We stopped in after a day at the State Park for a nice light snack an appetizer and a couple of desserts with a glass of wine. We had the 'escargo style lobster ' The most wonderful little creations. Chunks of lobster meat in butter topped by a very thin, light crust and real parmesan baked to perfection, then sprinkled with some sprouts for color.The desserts were a flourless chocolate torte very dark and rich, but not overpoweringly rich. The lemon pie (I forget the name) was light, tart, and delicious. They were served with real homemade whipped cream and an edible flower garnish. The Pinot Grigot wine was a really nice pairing, just slightly sweet and nicely tart (not dry).Quiet music was replaced soon after we entered by a skilled lady playing the piano live. This induced people to keep their voices down, which just added to the incredibly pleasant atmosphere and romantic feel of the place.Being farm to table and definitely fancy with properly fresh and complex dishes, it 's definitely on the pricier side. Well worth it!We will be back for a proper dinner and date night!

The food was amazing. The service was outstanding. But apparently, the air conditioning is broken in the back of the restaurant and has been for months. So be prepared to sweat if you decide to sit in the back. I felt so bad for the employees.

Our third visit was just as good as all of the others. The staff, the chef, the atmosphere, all great. The FarmaSea is seriously great food in a relaxed surrounding.
