This review is overdue. I just moved to Lowell last October from Southie. My girlfriend Karen came to visit about a month ago and we went to Cobblestones after reviewing their menu. Karen has been a chef for 20 years and i waited tables in fine dining restaurants in Boston before moving to Newport, RI to run a small hotel. We love to try restaurants that are new to us. When we sat down, we immediately inquired about the oysters and were told that three gentlemen had thrown back 213 of them in the bar and while fascinating, we were dismayed to hear this and didn't understand why they wouldn't go out and get more. Anyway, our server, Larissa was very professional, polite and knew the answers to all of our inquiries about the menu and wine list, although she was new. We were impressed by this because like I said, she was new, but she's smart because if you don't have the knowledge, you cannot sell product. I forget the name of the bottle of wine we ordered but anyway, they had 86'd it and that is when Amy came into the picture whom I understand is the GM. She approached our table, introduced herself and we discussed a replacement for the wine they were out of. She hooked us up with something fantastic, a cabernet savignon of some kind. She was also gracious enough to inform us that they had replenished their oyster supply much to our delight. The owners of this establishment need to know that Amy is definitely a huge asset to their restaurant. She is magical, truly she is. Amy also displayed the obvious fact that she loves what she does and takes pride in the restaurant itself and her work. We chatted with her for a few minutes and before we knew it, she was inviting us to their block party for Folk Festival weekend. She was so accommodating in every way and really made it seem effortless and seamless. Karen overloaded on the oysters while I had the wedge salad. Everything was perfect. For entrees we both had the short ribs which were great. We usually indulge in desert but the food was so flavorful and presentation beautiful that we didn't bother saving room for it. Thank you Amy and Larissa for going the extra mile in making our experience an enjoyable one as well as memorable. I also liked the esthetics of the restaurant and it was extremely clean, which is key. Thanks a million.
