L D $$$ SEAPORT GRILLE Chef Sheree DeLorenzo's recipes (fea- tured on Taste of the Times), Lobster Roll Thursdays, Gloucester Harbor wa- r terfront/heated deck, and sightlines to the fa- mous landmarks seen in The Perfect Storm make Seaport Grille a singular dining destina- tion. Its enjoyable location on America's oldest seaport makes it a favorite with locals. In addi- tion to dishes like their delectable chicken piccata,hefty lobster rolls, and hearty steaks— happenings like 10 Cent Wings on Sundays (when the Pats play), and specials like Wednes- day Clamming & Jamming—make the Grille one of Gloucester's most beloved surf 'n turf venues. • 6 Rowe Square, Gloucester, 01930, (978) 282-9799.

L D $$ VICTORIA STATION Salem's Victoria Station is the last hold-out of a once nationwide craze popular for its inspiration: England's historic landmark of the same name. Antique r railroad artifacts including boxcars, its signa- ture caboose, and a London-style phone booth on the "entry platform" are a few of the props used to emulate the continental station and create an unusual dining venue. Time has not forsaken our Station, and it continues to play a role in our contemporary culinary jour- neys. • 86 Wharf Street, Salem, 01970, (978) 745-3400. Hours: Mon - Tue, Sun 11:30 am - 11 pm, Wed 11:30 am - 12 am, Thu-Sat 11:30 am - 12:30 am. L D $$ STEAKS THE LOFT RESTAURANT Chops and tots in a 160-year old barn, what's more New England than that? Exposed posts and beams combine with old-fashioned dishes like pot roast, chicken pot pie, and roast prime rib of beef. Such meals are what fortified farm- ers of times ago, and partaking of a hearty helping today is something akin to time travel. A warm, wood-rich atmosphere, comfort foods, and merry meads make for a pleasant dining experience, with something of an his- torical flavor. • 1140 Osgood Street, North An- dover, 01845, (978) 686-0026. Hours: Mon-Thu 11:30 am – 10:30 pm, Fri 11:30 am – 11 pm, Sat 12 pm - 11 pm, Sun 12 pm – 9 pm. L D $$ CHAMA GRILL If Brazilian BBQ and/or Italian flavors beckon, the recently opened Chama Grill will absolutely satisfy. Creatively seasoned meats and extremely fresh pastas are their specialty, and in-house wine aficionados guide guests in making all the right pairings. In addition to a classic menu featuring the likes of Filet Mignon with Truffle Oil, Pork Chop with Cranberry Sauce, and Pappardelle Alla Bolognese—the austerely chic ambience comes alive with music every Friday and Saturday evening. Wonderful, straightforward meals, a fine collection of European wines, and a warm, wood-enhanced atmosphere make Chama a sure bet. • 115 Main Street, North Andover, 01845, (978) 258- 2238.
