I love the food this restaurant offers! The menu has something for everyone, from different meat and seafood dishes, to interesting breakfast delights. My only problem is the strong smell of poo-poo coming from the dining area. I have eaten there multiple times, and continue to do so, but that poop smell is something else! Sometimes, I can taste the... more

Tucked in what appears just the next house on the corner, is Margarets. The sever explained this was a neigborhood born of the fishing industry given it location next to the wharf. On a Monday night, the place was busy with friends gathered in the small but comfortable rooms that make up the seating area. Its BYOB so plan that... more

This spot in Fairhaven is a true diamond in the rough. If you don't get there by 5 p.m. you'll wait a bit which isn't too bad since you can sit upstairs and drink the wine you've brought. Why is it so busy? The FOOD, FOOD, FOOD!!!! The best crab cakes you'll every have ~ the sauce devine. All the... more

I live in Fairhaven and this is my favorite place. They have great bread, fresh seafood, fresh pasta, and unique and wonderful salads. Their kids menu is perfect (short, sweet, and very low priced for REAL food). My four-year old loves it there and so does every out-of-town guest that we bring there. They will make any substitutions that you... more

Amazing food! The scallops are to die for. This restaurant seems misplaced in tiny Fairhaven. It could easily be a trendy haunt in any big city. more

I stumble upon this little place while walking along the harbor. It looked so enchanting that I went back for dinner. Make no mistake, it is small, perhaps 30 diners tops. I arrived at 7 on Thursday and immediately got a table. I knew that I would have clam chowder no matter where I had dinner. It came out hot... more

We have eaten at Margaret's several times, but mostly for breakfast. I highly reccomend this establishment for breakfast. Their honey almond french toast is incredible! We got dinner from Margaret's only once, and it was take-out. The food was eclectic and original. It was good. My only gripe with this place is the spacing. The tables are so close in... more
