“We met some friends to celebrate our friend's birthday. We sat out on the deck with a lovely view. The waitress was very accommodating having made a suggestion when I could not eat the vegetables offered due to dietary restrictions. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed their meals. The only negative was that it was a very very warm evening and there were no fans or AC on the deck or even in the inside dining room. So we were all a bit uncomfortable. However, we managed to enjoy our meals and would return again on a cooler evening.“

“this bar with the arcade is cool. I like the vintage games a lot. however, these bartenders suck. they don't know how to serve multiple people at a time. there's two events going on tonight so busy. I waited about five to ten minutes for literally just a today refill. and yes two people walked past as I flagged them down.“

The Lobster Shanty serves beer, ciders, and alcohol from local taprooms & distilleries like Notch, Downeast, Far From the Tree, and Deacon Giles.“

“We had such a great time at Finz! The food was excellent all around. My gluten-free bun fell apart a bit on my burger, but honestly the burger itself was cooked perfectly the way I asked. The crab nachos were amazing (definitely a must-try) and the shrimp and fish tacos came out with super generous portions. The waterfront setting made it even better with the view really adding to the experience. Fun, lively spot to hang out, eat, and enjoy the harbor views!“
