" What a gem! I stumbled upon Causeway after a local recommended it, and I'm so glad I did. The clam chowder was hands down the best I've ever tasted - rich, creamy, and loaded with clams. The service was friendly and attentive, which added to the great experience. Definitely a must-visit for anyone who loves seafood! Oh, and don’t forget to bring your own bottle! Just a fantastic meal from start to finish. " (*Curated Review*)

" Amazing seafood! I was surprised by how generous the portions were; I certainly couldn't finish everything. The food itself was extremely fresh, especially the fried calamari which had the perfect crunch! I appreciated that they were accommodating to dietary restrictions, which made my experience even better. I would not hesitate to encourage seafood lovers to check this place out! " (*Curated Review*)

" Absolutely loved my time at Causeway this week! The clam chowder was a massive portion and incredibly satisfying. The seafood was so fresh that it felt like a catch right from the ocean. Great vibes in a casual setting – just what I needed. It is a bit pricey, but the quality of food makes it worthwhile. Will be returning for sure! " (*Curated Review*)

" Honestly, this place is overrated. The atmosphere felt cramped and noisy, and while the portions were big, the food lacked any wow factor. I expected more based on the reviews. The clam chowder was decent, but I’ve had better in other places. I probably won’t return. " (*Curated Review*)

" Came for the clam chowder, stayed for the rest of the menu! Everything I tried was excellent! The atmosphere could be improved since it's pretty noisy, especially during the lunch hour. Still, the service was friendly, and the food was well-priced for the portion sizes. A solid dining experience all around. " (*Curated Review*)

" This was my first visit after hearing so much about The Causeway, and I have to admit, the hype is real. The clam chowder was every bit as delicious as everyone claims! The atmosphere was casual and friendly. My only complaint was regarding the wait times - we had to wait for about 30 minutes to be seated, which was expected for a Friday night. I’ll be back for sure! " (*Curated Review*)

" I don't usually eat seafood but my friends insisted we go to The Causeway while visiting Gloucester. I ordered the seafood marinara and was blown away by the amount of seafood in it! Every bite was packed with fresh ingredients, making it impossible to leave anything on my plate. The place was bustling, and the service, although slightly rushed, was friendly. I'd consider coming back if I were in the area again. " (*Curated Review*)
