This is my favorite place to eat in Maine. I love their baked, stuffed scallops. Very rich and decadent. I could only eat the scallops so I took the delicious coleslaw home for a snack. I had the same meal last year and it was better than I remembered- says a lot for the quality here. Definitely a must try- scallops were perfect and the stuffing was worth all the calories. Fantastic service too. Only complaint is they aren’t open every day!

The outdoor seating is lovely and they are very accommodating to well behaved dogs, even offering to bring a bowl of water for our new rescue dog. The seafood is always fresh and they did blackened seared instead of fried at request.

The food was OK, the atmosphere was OK, the prices were tourists like prices, but what saved the experience was the amazing service from our waitress. She was super-nice to our son, asking him questions and patiently waiting for his answers. Really caring for him and making sure he had a nice time while there. She truly saved the experience. Bless her heart!

Food is always good. Excellent seafood scampi. We always seem to wait longer than we’d like for service and drinks. Once I have a drink, I don’t mind relaxing and waiting. Outdoor seating is nice but no view except the side of LL Bean’s building.

Wonderful seafood!. We had the scallops appetizer, which was delicious very tender and perfectly cooked. (Note the empty plate!) A great deal actually as you get a lot for an appetizer. Then the haddock platter and sandwich were both perfect. Tender, fresh and very tasty. Even the coleslaw was very fresh and crunchy. We sat outside on such a beautiful day. Highly recommend

Family friendly and nice spot to dine or get happy hour outdoors. Solid starters, we shared mussels, nothing especially notable in food quality or taste, but a good, predictable traditional Maine seafood forward menu catering to tourists. Brought out of towners, might return for happy hour. Wish they had more Maine forward beer selection to accompany the seafood! Friendly staff!

After being seated, we waited 15 min for service before asking and still waited 5 more minutes at the least before someone waited on us. Our server told us we waited longer than it took her to drive to restaurant from her other job.

Loved the atmosphere and everyone who worked here who we interacted with was *lovely* af. We got the baked lobster and the baked seafood medley and both were great. I loved the lobster, it was perfectly cooked and the scallops were excellent. I’m not sure I’d get the baked lobster again though because the stuffing in some ways distracted from the exceptional quality of the lobster itself. Fantastic though and glad I tried it! Side potatoes were great but broccoli was over cooked. The portion size for the Baked Seafood Medley was a bit on the small size!
