What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Aroma Tavern and Grill is praised for its excellent New England cuisine, generous portions, and reasonable prices. Diners frequently highlight the delicious French onion soup, seafood options, and comforting pasta dishes. While the food and service generally receive high marks, some guests have noted that the interior could benefit from updating and may feel a bit cramped, particularly during busy periods. The cozy atmosphere with a fireplace, however, contributes to its appeal for casual dining and special occasions.
"I've ate a lot of burgers all over the country, and the Tavern Burger was easily one of the top 5 I've ever had. Very well balanced, patty was perfectly cooked with a light char.
Rest of my parties food was great as well. Service was great. Price was great. 5 stars"

"Absolutely delightful time at Aromas. I've come here before but this time I went in on a Thursday evening and basically had the dining room to myself which was nice. I got the French onion soup which is the best French onion soup in town. The cheese is delightful but not overwhelming, the onion to broth ratio is very good and overall the soup was amazing as usual. For my entree I got the lemon cello cream sauce with rigatoni and scallops. Delicious! The sauce was sweet with a hint of salt, the scallops all but glided down my throat as they melted in my mouth and for dessert I got the brownie sundae which came with a warm yet crunchy brownie, ice cream and hot fudge!"

"I took my daughter to Aroma for the first time on her birthday. The waitress made her feel so unbelievably special and the food was phenomenal! She finished her whole meal which she never does. I was the absolutely best place I could have taken her to celebrate her 12th birthday"

Five Favorite Fried Clams
Although I associate seafood with the waterfront, Aroma Tavern on busy Route 3A in the Manomet section of town is a real find. I discovered this restaurant by word of mouth chit-chatting with other locals one day at Rye Tavern. They said I must try the fisherman’s platter.
