“We come back every summer! This is the ONLY place I will get a lobster roll! Hubby always gets the Big Sexy (crab roll with bacon, trust me it's amazing) love the people here and love the food!!!!”

“what a great day spent golfing and eating ice cream.”

“I had the pleasure of photographing a wedding at The Carriage House this fall and WOW, it was such a great experience. The ambiance is fun and down to earth. Definitely not a stuffy, boring coastal restaurant. This place has plenty of character! If you want a unique venue that will still provide you with a professional, efficient, and friendly experience you can't go wrong with The Carriage House.”

“I really liked the food. It was great. The service was great, but it had no restroom or seating. I would recommend spinach wrap with chicken, bacon, and cheddar cheese.”

“Cameron and Kelly showcased ideal customer service! They were incredible nice and helped walk my drinks to my car when I could not carry all of them. Great people, great quality dunkin!”

“All the small plates were delicious morsels. Beautiful spot on the river! Lovely for a party.”

“Vacationing in Boothbay, and at the top of our favorite restaurants is Ports of Italy, this place is not to be missed if you love Italian cuisine. Very popular with the locals and the tourists, be smart and make a reservation, especially over the weekend so you will not be disappointed. They are open 7 days a week 4:30-8:00. We had an early reservation and was taken to our table and immediately approached by our waiter, given water, he told us the specials and gave us time to look over the menu. We received a paper bag of warm, delicious rustic bread and olive oil dipping sauce, so good. After ordering, our food arrived in a timely fashion right from the kitchen. I ordered the veal ravioli in a mushroom cream sauce, let me tell you my choice was just delicious and very rich and filling. Husband ordered Osso Buco sitting on top of a rich broth and risotto, what a great presentation and my husband enjoyed it tremendously! Our waiter was very attentive to us and good at his job. The busboys were so nice and took good care of our needs. This place is a cut above the rest and they are popular and have a cult following!! Highly recommend coming here, a little pricey but so worth the experience. Bob and Debbie/ Mich”

“Best seafood ever!!! It’s fresh, local and they have something for everyone. The owners are super nice and very welcoming. We went multiple times during our visit to Boothbay and are already planning on it being our first stop next visit!!!”

“We are lucky enough to dine here often through out the season. The owners are amazing, the food delicious & the staff is friendly! Tonight was a surprise birthday dinner. The owner sent out an amazing piece of chocolate cake w/ a candle, the staff sang Happy Birthday! This was above & beyond any expectation I had. I appreciate you & the staff! We will be back! Thank you”

“The food is great and staff very friendly. We visit the area yearly and this is my favorite place to go for breakfast. Fresh baked goods are so good, amazing views outside. Yes it gets busy but it's a great place to go and if it feels crowded give it a minute. Service is very quick and once everyone is seated it's just an amazing location.”

“We walked in 20 minutes before closing time, but you wouldn't have known it.
The staff were friendly and helpful, and the food and drinks delicious.
We had the lobster roll and the haddock fish and chips.”

“Amazingly good food and friendly environment! THE Best Blueberry Pancakes EVER!!!”

“Good food, great steamers. But the bees wow. I literally bought a soda just to try to deter the lovely 5 we had away from our table. Didn’t really work, so we ate in the car. Idk what they can do about that situation, but yeah. Can’t really enjoy it and I wanted to”

“Let me put the cart before the horse and tell you this was one of the best, if not the best, experiences I have had at a restaurant. Corrinna was lovely. She took time to explain to this uninitiated wine consumer the differences between wines, glasses, and tasting, as well as pairing with foods. Speaking of food, this was also splendid. We started with oysters, which was a first, calamari, pork belly, arancini, and focaccia that melted in your mouth. My main course was the Swordfish with sweet potato puree, fingerling, and swordfish "bacon" jam. This is a silent gem that I selfishly stays quiet for my purposes, but Back River Bistro needs to be visited by anyone who loves a small curated dining experience. Much success to Matt & Corrinna. It is much deserved.”

“The food was amazing! We had the Creekstone Steak and Monkfish and were not disappointed, both were done to perfection! The wine 🍷 was perfect (house favorite was our’s as well) We did not have time for dessert (concert at the Boothbay Harbor Opera House) but we will on our next visit 😊 Definitely one of our new favorites in the Midcoast area!”

“You need this place in your life. Natural wine selection is eclectic and fun. The food will absolutely blow your mind.”

“stopped by after the botanical garden lights; and they were closing. Cindy was so nice to still make us a large pizza. What an awesome staff, food is delicious, and the place is so fun! I’ll be back with my girlfriends this summer!!”

“It is a classic must stop for seafood on the harbor and make sure to snap a photo with Captain Brown before you leave.”

“What an amazing hidden spot! Wish we had found this years ago! We come here once a year on vacation. Pepper is a wonderful conversationalist, and so friendly! Every beer we tried was excellent, and the food was amazing. We took some beer to go as well!! HIGHLY RECOMMEND! We are from upstate New York. ~Rob and Janet Dandrow”

“This place doesn't look like much from the road, but stop and check it out. The friendliest, nicest man made us two fabulous pizzas while we hung out in the parking lot. This is our new favorite pizza place.”

“The coffee and pastries are wonderful but I can't go to Boothbay Harbor and not stop in for a breakfast burrito... It is amazing! The staff are super efficient and kind and the owners are wonderful people, can't go wrong.”

“THANK YOU @ Farm 23 Boothbay Harbor for amazingly DELIVERING my order ON Christmas Eve!

After the beautiful charismas snow we received, I knew I wasn’t going to make it for pick up by noon. I called asking if they’d bag it and leave it on their steps, but no…. Instead they were happy to deliver it (an option that had not crossed my mind)! Thank you Josh & Laura! I hope you had a fabulous Christmas! 🎄”
