One of the best lobsters I've had in a restaurant! It was hard shell and they'd pre-cracked it which made it easier to tackle the picking for meat. There was a ton of meal in it and it was sweet-sweet-sweet. A decent amount of drawn butter was provided, which isn't always the case in restaurants. I got a 1.5 lobster... More

Steamers were very good. View is worthy of a painting. Sitting here now with the sea breeze and sparkling water--- what could be better? ...... They need to move the "pet friendly" tables just around the corner in the parking lot so patrons with dogs have a view of the bay, too. As it is now, asphalt is all that... More

We are first time visitors to Maine and we will come back here when we return. The food was great tasting, and great portions. My husband got a double Lobster and I got a lobster pizza. Both were wonderful!

This was our first stop while in Boothbay and based on our other experiences in the area, we felt that our dinner was just average. We ordered one twin lobster dinner and one single. Both came with very good corn on the cob. The lobsters just did not have as much flavor for some reason and were overpriced compared to... More

Nice panorama of the harbor. That's a plus. I apologized to the lobster and probably will never eat another. The salad came in a plastic box with two slices of cucumber and two slices of tomato. The restaurant employs six wait staff from Bulgaria who speak fluent English and were willing to practice by telling us their stories.

Didn't care for the flavor and texture of our onion rings and fried scallops. The clam strips were a bit chewy.

We chose this establishment based upon the reviews on this website. We were not disappointed. We started with crabcakes and when we we leaving Maine on our way home we agreed that these were the best crabcakes we had while visiting Maine. Enough said. We both had the lobster dinner which included a whole lobster, corn on the cob and... More

On the opposite/quieter side of the footbridge in Boothbay Harbor lies this phenomenal establishment. Outdoor seating facing west giving the customer sunshine all afternoon and a beautiful sunset at night. Very reasonably priced delicacies from the ocean and a fine selection of beer and wines. Most importantly, service with a smile. I'm the type of customer that has no quarrel... More

My friend has many food allergies and they were extremely accommodating. Their home made sangria was fantastic as was the food. It wasn't overly busy and we were checked in on many times to ensure we were enjoying our meal. It was a bit pricy but the truth is every place we have been charged about the same for lobster....
