Passports Eatery and Wine Bar

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.

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.

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

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 !!!

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

Wowza what a fabulous dinner. Best in 13 day tripn throughout New England! We were in need of meat after all the seafood. Exceeded our expectations.

This is such a find! Get reservations early, as they pack it in. The food is plentiful and delicious! We arrived 30 earlier and sat at the comfy bar, talking to the staff. All were kind and friendly. We we were seated (exactly at our reservation time), they got our order in and the food was beautifully plated. I had the paella and my wife had the swordfish. At the end, our plates were completely empty and our bellies were full. If you stop into Gloucester, try this place! You won't be disappointed!!

Awesome cozy little place in downtown Gloucester. My wife and I tried it for the first and will definitely go back. I had fish & chips, she had baked halibut. Loved the light batter on the fish & chips and the coleslaw. Both meals were cooked perfectly and well seasoned. The side salads were fresh and the house dressing was nice. They start you out with fresh out of the oven popovers! They have a nice little wine selection as well. Prices were quite fair and reasonable, certainly competitive. Give this place a try, you'll be glad you did.

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?

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

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!

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!

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.

Such a great place! Service was friendly and attentive. Food was AMAZING especially considering the wide variety of the menu. I had the Sisters Haddock and it was fresh and delicious. My husband got the muscles, sauce was so good he was like eating it with a spoon - the smoky sausage was a nice touch. Recommend you stop by!

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!

Never disappointed with this local favorite. The atmosphere is cozy, the staff is attentive, accommodating, and easy going. The owner and head chef, Eric, sources local fish and small farm meat as much as possible. The wine and beer list is diverse w/a wide price range, and a nice selection of the wines by the glass. Beer on tap changes seasonally. The tried-and-true menu is accompanied by daily specials. If you are new or visiting the area, this is a MUST visit. My most favorite dish is the Adriatic Stew, a delicate broth, paired perfectly with a generous mix of seafood. It serves as a main course if you share an app (the crab cakes are scrumptious). My guy loves the meatloaf stack. Note: During Covid, when restaurants were closed or curbside-only, chef Eric maintained his supplier relationships, offering weekly pickups of seafood, chicken, meets, and staples like butter, eggs, wine and beer (def Covid staples!). It was a memorable highlight from a tough time. We got to make great meals at home, and were so grateful for this service.
