Great ambiance for a nice dinner. Ate here with colleagues, and got the fried calamari, scallops, the lobster ravioli, and the... stuffed lobster. All of it was astounding! Our waiter Nick was also very diligent, attentive, and friendly. He even gave us someadvice on things we should do, see, and other restaurant option for our stay here!!! Highly recommend. Read more

Dog friendly restaurant down by the water. My experience was so-so. The hostess was very nice and she even went out of her way... to bring a water bowl for our dog. However, our waiter forgot to put in our entree order (I appreciate the honestly) but I hadalready waited for 20 or so minutes after our appetizer so he clearly forgot about us. I understand that it was busy but we wereprobably in the restaurant for an hour at this point. Then he said there was no pasta left for the night which was a bit odd inmy opinion since we went in around 7:40pm. We just left promptly after without tasting any of the entree. The calamari andoysters were good though. Drinks was so-so and over priced as most things are in Portland. With so many similar restaurants inthe area, I wouldn’t come back. Read more

Absolutely amazing food. Great atmosphere. Don't let the harbor like feel detour you from this place. The food is amazing.... Everything I had was great. Great for large groups and you can tell the chef takes pride in his creation. Have the clam chowderit was so good. Read more

It was our first time at this interesting place 2 years ago with friends for my birthday, while we were visiting Maine,... Portland. The place was crowded and the atmosphere was chic. The employees were very cheerful and friendly, the menu was notboring, the variety of seafood was wide, well, obviously ???? but not only. In general, researches of local places and reviewsdid not disappoint us and we ended up here. I recommend to everyone who will be in Maine, Portland, check this cool place out!Thank you for the memories. Read more

I walked right by this place. Super busy all over on the boardwalk. It sits right behind Gilbert's Chowder House. It was a... gorgeous day out, and thought I'd give it a try. The hostess must have read my energy, she knew just where to sit me - upstairsin far corner table. Just beautiful. Made it quite hard to leave. I had the Newberg Top-over: scallops, haddock, and chewylobster (as it's still hard shell season) in sherry sauce. Some of the fish was still cold and not cooked correctly in thesauce. The waiter would've known that had he stopped and asked how the food was. He did fill my water glass often though. ???? Iwould order the swordfish next time I go. Read more

Recommended by locals for the seafood fare. I went in a bit early to avoid the dinner time crush. Food was quite good as... expected and well presented. The restaurant itself was quiet with a softly lit interior dominated by dark wood tones. An activefireplace provided a nice comforting touch. Oddly, the music selection was '80s and '90s pop which was, I think, disjointedgiven the surroundings but not jarringly so; maybe it's just because I'm a jazz guy. Staff were polite and professional but abit impersonal. Prices were as expected given the quality of the food and the reputation of the establishment. Definitely wortha visit. Read more

My husband and I just went here for dinner the other night. What caught my eye was the stuffed lobster ???? that was recommended... by everyone in the reviews I read. We went early and was seated right away. If they give you a choice to sit on lower or upperdeck, choose upper deck. It’s a beautiful view up there. Our server was on top of water refills before we would have to ask,along with bringing our appetizer and side dish out first. We ordered the crab ???? cakes as an appetizer, for a side thelobster ???? Mac ‘n’ cheese ????. For the Main dishes we went with the stuffed lobster ???? and the steamed lobster ????.All the food was extremely yummy and the perfect temperature. I would definitely recommend the stuffed lobster ????!!! We wereso lobstered out by the time we left. It was a great way to end our trip to Maine, by having an all lobster ???? meal with crab???? cakes!!! I would recommend all the dishes we had. By the time we left the place was hopping!!! Read more
