That upper deck area has the nicest view in town. Food was really decent. Drinks were good. Service was perfect. Definitely recommend. My only recommendations, the price for the 1 little crab cake is a but steep. It’s good, but a hockey puck portion could be a little cheaper. The pain killer drink was good, but it could be perfect with a little splash of a second rum. Other places have the coconut rum too, but throw in half a shot of 151 . All around though, wonderful place and great staff.

We ate here because we were staying at the inn but we were pleasantly surprised. I got the seafood medley and everything was cooked perfectly, including the scallops. My husband got the pot roast special and it was amazing! They had a good selection of local beers, too. We went at night but they probably have lovely ocean views during the day. Definitely recommend!

Upon walking in, we were greeted with a huge smile, and made to feel truly welcome! Melissa our waitress was top-notch! Our H2O glasses were never empty and she was super attentive and kind. From the time we sat down to when we got our food was about 20 minutes which was wonderful! The Seafood Newburg was delicious with a perfectly baked pastry topping. The seafood Alfredo was really good, and I was shocked at how authentic the sauce was! (Being an Italian New Yorker I can be hard to impress but they did!). Both seafood dishes were chocked full of fresh seafood and they were generous with the lobster meat which was a pleasant surprise. The chicken Potpie was to die for and one of the best I’ve ever had. The vegetable of the day was rosemary carrots, and they were superb as well. If it is definitely worth walking the extra footage to get to this awesome restaurant! The view of the water was pleasant and decor was warm and kind of felt like the 70s but the whole experience was wonderful and what I was looking for on my vacation. I know this is one place I will definitely return to!

Absolutely amazing seafood dining experience. In a week of vacationing in Maine Tug Boat hands-down provided us with the best foods. By far, the most AMAZING lobster bisque we’ve ever had. Steamed lobster & clams were on-point… cooked right & biggest size we were served all week. Wife’s baked seafood medley was terrific. Blueberry pie, terrific. Service, great. We went back again a 2nd time everything was so good. Cute place, classic ME seaboard style decor. Great friendly service. This was so much better than another place on other side of the bridge next town over we were told to try by some locals. Highly recommend Tug Boat restaurant!

Poor service. Waiter failed to mention nightly specials, sides, etc. Overheard other servers with their customers to actually learn all menu options. One error after the next, mentioned to manager, no corrections or apologies. Views were fantastic but food only mediocre at best. Many more better options in this charming town to spend your time and $$ at.

Down at the end of the street, it was less crowded than other places…which was perfect for us. Walked up to the upper level patio. Really nice view! The food is very good. We had the haddock reuben which was very good, and the burger which was just ok. Seemed like it was made from a frozen patty. Still decent, just not great. Nice selection of beers, including my fave…Allagash White.

Outstanding experience! Breathtaking views of Boothbay Harbor from nearly every seat, friendly and professional staff, very reasonable prices across the menu. My daughter commented her Mac & Cheese was one of the best she’s ever had, my Lobster Bisque and my wife’s Clam Chowder very both very flavorful, my broiled mixed seafood platter was spectacular, my niece was very pleased w/ the fresh Crab Roll on a grilled buttered bun. This was our 2nd visit in the same week, would happily return again, absolutely recommend this excellent local small business!

Spectacular outside deck upstairs that serves pub food and drinks! If you want a great view of the harbor and a fun spot to have drinks this is it. The downstairs is a full service seafood restaurant with a lot of the usual favorites
