My wife and I had dinner here on Wednesday November 5th. We both ordered the fried haddock. My wife had the small portion I had the large portion. I got fries and coleslaw as a side and my wife got the garlic mashed potatoes and coleslaw. The food was excellent and the service was absolutely wonderful. Our server Brandy (excuse me if my spelling is incorrect) was the best. Not only did she take the order and serve the food very efficiently but she welcomed us with a warm heart and made us feel right at home. Thank you so much.

What a gem of a restaurant. Great views of water, terrific food I had French onion soup and a Haddock Ruben with home made potato chips, my friend had a Nauti* Burger with awesome sweet potato fries (really they were perfect) all in all a great place for a meal, and they give back to the local community which makes them such an asset to Belfast. Win/win in my book!

We just wanted a nice seafood lunch while getting snow tires in Belfast. Tourist season being over, we thought good time to support local restaurant. We paid $90 plus tip = $105. We both got the Seafood Combo and we split the $17 Ceasar. The salad was lettuce, 4 anchovies, and a small amount of parm and black olives. Nothing special and no better than $9 kit from Hannaford.
They had no clams so she said they would sub more scallops and shrimp. Fine. Shrimp were very small and did not taste fresh. The breading on the shrimp and scallops was dripping with grease, more than should be and the breading was soggy/ falling off. Since I have fried shrimp and scallops for decades, I know this happens if the scallops are too wet, too much flour is used, or the breaded scallops don't chill before frying. The Haddock was really overcooked and not edible. I would have sent it back but our waitress did not return until we actually needed the check. I had a peanut butter sandwich upon returning home.
I met my husband in the restaurant that I worked in for over 10 years and I am very understanding with problems like no clams but there is no excuse for the poorly cooked seafood in a seafood restaurant or the poor service. We still left 15% but probably should haven't and would have been 25% if had been good.
I wouldn't recommend this place nor shall we go back.

Loved this place! My wife and I had lunch here during our Maine coast road trip and this was the best place we ate at hands down. My wife had a huge lobster roll and I had a fried chicken sandwich that was definitely made from scratch and was super good. I also had some of the best onion rings I have had in a long time. Again you could tell these were made by scratch and it showed… super crunchy light batter and sweet onions.

Beautiful location on the Belfast bay. I ordered the shrimp dinner and it was just okay. The shrimp were the smallest I've ever had. The French fries were good.
This place is very busy so you rarely see your server.
Also, they charge a 20% surcharge for groups of 6 or more.

It is an average restaurant. The best part was the outside seating and view of the bay.
We found the dishes we had to be just okay. The prices for what we got, I think were overpriced.
My husband had the fried shrimp dinner and the shrimp were tiny bite size shrimps and some French fries.
I had the haddock reubrn which was unique in concept but the sauerkraut and dressing overwhelmed the small piece of haddock on the sandwich.But it was a decent sandwich. The sandwich was supposed to come with a side which I chose a side dinner salad which the waitress failed to mention was a $2.50 upcharge.
We had two tables, a total of 9 altogether. Our table of 4 got our food pretty quickly but the waitress never came back to check on us or refill our drinks.
Our second table waited a long time to receive their food even though they ordered at the same time. We were already done eating when their food finally came.
Other than the views, there was nothing that wowed us about the food. All 9 of us said the same thing. It was just okay.

Service was great and the food was equally so. I ordered the whole belly clam appetizer and the clams were large and very tasty!

On a nice day there is no better place in the midcoast sit and enjoy a cocktail. There are allergen options on the menu and the staff is very helpful

For the prices that they charge, and the fact that they are on the bay, you would assume that you're getting the freshest seafood at all times. The reality is that you're getting frozen seafood, frozen mashed potatoes, and macaroni and cheese that taste like frozen Stouffer's Mac. Also, their standards of "good service" are very much below industry standard. which is par for the course When you consider the fact that approximately 3 years ago there was an onslaught of complaints about bad service, and those are the servers who purchased the restaurant. management, is also the owners, and they are ridiculously disrespectful to their staff, and any customers that they are not either related to or friends with. This is arguably one of the last restaurants you should try if you're in the greater Belfast area.
