A warm, wood-rich at- mosphere, comfort foods, and merry meads make for a satisfying dining experience, with something of a historical flavor. • 1140 Osgood Street, North Andover, 01845, (978) 686-0026, loft-steakandchophouse.com. $$ N e w A m e r i c a n M e n u · C r e a t i v e C o c k t a i l s C r a f t B e e r s · 1 0 0 B o t t l e P l u s W i n e L i s t From Navy Yard Bistro owner John Moore And business partner Robert Veek 50 Water Street Newburyport, MA 01950 978-255-7109 www.fiftywater.com Situated in Newburyport's historical Tannery Marketplace, Fifty Water Restaurant & Bar offers a cozy and relaxing atmosphere with large windows and beautiful views of the water.
