Oceanside Dining at Pigeon Cove Tavern

Emerson Inn is proud to feature Pigeon Cove Tavern, Rockport's newest restaurant serving locally sourced seafood and farm-fresh vegetables and other ingredients. Starting with a magnificent view of the Atlantic Ocean - just 50 yards from the dining room - and ending with delectable desserts, everything in-between is what fine dining should be.  In this Cape Ann restaurant, our chef serves up fine New England fare using the freshest local ingredients and appetizers, salads, entrees, and desserts from his own original recipes, resulting in our classic and creative cuisine within a casual, oceanside atmosphere.
