About Decklyn's

Decklyn's, a waterfront restaurant, offers an amazing service and atmosphere. The menu features a variety of delectable dishes, including light and affordable clams, as well as popular items like haddock tacos and mussels with a red curry sauce. Recent reviews highlight their BBQ chicken wings and pork ribs, which are not fried and highly appreciated. The lobster roll is a good-sized portion, though the lobster can sometimes be a bit chewy. Fries are regular and shoestring style, and the side salad is substantial, tossed in a light house vinaigrette. A standout is the Decklyn mocktail, made with pineapple juice, lime, ginger beer, and sliced jalapeño, offering a refreshing taste with a spicy kick. The restaurant is popular for Thursday night dinners, especially for their smoked prime rib, which is especially delicious and makes for a very special meal. Other favorites include lobster salad with arugula, avocado, corn, and tarragon vinaigrette, as well as steak tips, salmon, coconut curry mussels, and bang-bang shrimp. Chef Ben Insuik is very talented and curates a unique menu, with specials that keep returning guests excited. The wait staff and bartenders provide a consistently wonderful dining experience. Guests enjoy the outdoor deck and live music that continues throughout the weekend, creating a lively and inviting atmosphere. Recently, customers have praised the lobster carbonara, which is listed as MP (market price). It arrives in a deep wooden serving bowl filled with plenty of lobster chunks, perfectly cooked, with a creamy sauce, green peas, and pancetta. Many say it is the star of the menu and perfect for special occasions. The restaurant also offers outdoor and indoor dining, making it a great spot for events or casual visits. Overall, Decklyn's remains a favorite for locals and visitors alike, offering fresh, delicious food in a beautiful setting.
