Good Meal at the Mockingbird Restaurant and Martini Lounge, East Bridgewater, MA

We tried the Mockingbird Restaurant and Martini Lounge on Route 18 in East Bridgewater on Saturday night. The Mockingbird is an interesting restaurant; it feels like it is in the middle of nowhere, but it is a classy, attractive restaurant with excellent martinis and decent food.

The bar area at the Mockingbird Restaurant has a modern, hip feel to it, with the bartender pouring all kinds of drinks to people waiting for tables (we got to the Mockingbird at 5:00 and had nearly an hour-long wait, so we were happy that the restaurant had a nice bar!).

The menu at the Mockingbird has a number of traditional American dishes, as well as a handful of Italian entrees. The chicken saltimbocca was particularly good, with strips of chicken breast and ham smothered in a delicious brown sauce. The veal was also very good, and both the soup and the salad were tasty.

Unfortunately, we cannot feature the Mockingbird Restaurant and Martini Lounge on our site, as it seems just a bit too popular to be on Boston's Hidden Restaurants. But don't let that keep you from going there, especially if you like a good martini.

For those who would like the address and phone number for the Mockingbird Restaurant, here it is: Mockingbird Restaurant and Martini Lounge, 838 North Bedford Street, East Bridgewater, MA 02333; the phone number is (508) 378-4911.

My wife and I have been regulars at the Mockingbird since 2003. I have never found a better place to dine on the south shore since then. Newly renovated, the atmosphere here is spacious, modern and dimly lit. A large-sized bar with plenty of seating is manned by Jerry who has the best martini list around, nearing 100 different martinis to choose from! The appetizers are top notch with below-average prices for the area such as blackberry glazed sea scallops, the delicious flat bread pizza, deep fried sage and butternut squash ravioli (mamma mia!!) and more with prices ranging from $6 to $12. For entrees, the bangkok thai scallops are sensational and the chicken saltimbocca is the best you will sink your teeth into on the south shore of MA! Entree prices range from $13 to $22 and even more reasonable if you get there earlier for the sunset dinner menu option. If you enjoy vino with your meal, I recommend the McManus Cabernet; it has a nice spicy and toasty oak taste to it and it is served at room temperature! Don't even get me started on the desert! I will leave you with this - the deep fried banana cheesecake is to die for! If you have not ventured out to this too good to be true hidden jewel of a restaurant, I highly recommend that you hesitate no longer, and tell Jerry the bartender that Paul and Sara sent you, and if you can, say hello to chef Frank, he continues to be on top of his game in the kitchen, and we have not been disappointed yet! Ciao!
