A popular seafood restaurant on the North Shore that is known in part for its water views and outdoor dining is shutting down.
According to a poster within the Friends of Boston's Hidden Restaurants Facebook group page, Captain Carlo's in Gloucester is closing permanently, with a Facebook post from the dining spot saying the following:
From the early days as a fish market, to picnic tables and fried clams, years of crazy late nights and live music to the pandemic it's been a wild ride! We have staff and customers that have become family over the 30 plus years and so many amazing memories. All good things though must come to an end and it's the end of the road for Captain Carlos. It's time for Rosemarie to enjoy being a full time Grandma. Thank you for always supporting us!
The post mentions that its last day in business will be Saturday. September 4.
Captain Carlo's changed from being a full-service restaurant to an "eat in the rough" spot this summer, being set up for counter service and takeout while also keeping its deck open for diners. The menu features a variety of seafood dishes, including clam chowder, lobster rolls, fish and chips, calamari, steamed lobster, baked haddock, fried scallops, and more.
The address for Captain Carlo's is 27 Harbor Loop, Gloucester, MA, 01930. Its website can be found at https://captaincarlos.com/
