BRINE is the celebrated creation of Nancy Batista-Caswell, marking her second standout entry into Newburyport’s vibrant dining scene. This neighborhood favorite blends the best of New England’s local harvest with bold European influences, particularly from Italy and Spain. At BRINE, impeccably fresh seafood—oysters, ceviche, crudo, sashimi, tartare, and carpaccio—shares the spotlight with expertly butchered prime cuts and chops. The daily menu showcases inventive offerings like Carpet Baggers, Po’Boys, and Dock Specials, alongside brandade, cotton, and espumas. Guests can also enjoy soups, salads, and “off the page” specials that highlight BRINE’s commitment to variety and seasonality. The restaurant’s low-key, inviting design allows the elevated cuisine and attentive service to shine. Manager Gissele Tache and her knowledgeable team are always ready to guide guests toward the perfect pairing or an adventurous new dish. BRINE is more than a restaurant—it’s a flavorful, unpretentious experience that keeps both locals and visitors coming back for more.
