One thing I like about riding the CATA bus is the Transportation service, of course, but also the conversation among riders and drivers. It’s also interesting to just listen. Bus driver to older woman passenger: “My wife and I had dinner at the Emerson Inn last weekend, and it was fantastic. We started with a Caesar salad and Bruschetta. The croutons were still warm–you just knew they were home made. Then we split a Rack of Lamb, served over vegetables and potatoes. I never knew such a great restaurant was open year round in Rockport.” The older lady replied: “I went there when it was the Hotel Edward (1913-1965). I’ll have to try it.”
I can attest to the high quality of the food, as well as the unequaled view of the Atlantic Ocean. The Emerson is open for lodging all year, and serves dinner Friday, Saturday, and Sundays in the late fall, winter, and early spring. On Thanksgiving, they annually host a Grand Buffet, and I have no doubt it will be a meal you’ll remember. And the fly told me so. http://www.emersoninnbythesea.com/
