19 Best Seafood Restaurants in Boothbay Harbor

“Our 1st go to place when we come there. ( twice a year ). Food is so good and the people are great. See you next week. I have your sticker on my truck and people here in Maryland ask me about it often.🌭“

“Harborside 1901 is where craft and comfort meet the shoreline. 🍸✨ The modern mixology is nothing short of inspired — each glass a little journey of flavor and artistry. The staff welcome you not just as guests but as friends, creating an atmosphere that’s relaxed, fun, and wonderfully interactive. Plates arrive as both nourishment and celebration, with food that delights at every bite. And the finale — world-class pastries and desserts — lingers like a sweet memory you’ll want to return to again and again. (We sure did!!)A true gem where culinary creativity and heartfelt hospitality shine. 🌊🍷🍰“

“Lobster, clam, corn, potatoes are so good. Beautiful sights!“

“Excellent Maine lobsters at an affordable price in an amazing setting in the harbor.“

“highly recommend the Thistle inn for meal and drinks, lovely people, good chat, excellent service“

“Just had one of the best meals- peach and goat cheese salad with blueberry vinaigrette dressing and bang bang shrimp. And the hostess gave me some dressing to take home! Thanks for a wonderful experience (as usual 😉) Kaler's.“

“Ports of Italy is one of our absolute favorite restaurants—not only in town, but in all of Maine. We travel throughout the state quite a bit, and few restaurants consistently impress us the way Ports of Italy does. Everything we’ve ever ordered has been absolutely delicious, with the eggplant appetizer being a particular favorite. The atmosphere is equally wonderful: cozy and intimate, yet distinctly coastal and perfectly suited to its setting.

We also have to give a special shoutout to George, our favorite server. He is incredibly kind, genuine, and attentive without ever being overbearing. We genuinely look forward to being seated at one of his tables each time we visit. Great food, a wonderful atmosphere, and exceptional hospitality make Ports of Italy a place we’re always happy to return to.“

“We had our rehearsal dinner here in July and it was wonderful! Planning the event was seamless and easy with the support from Metehan. The entire Coastal Prime team was attentive and wonderful to work with. The food, drinks and view were great - couldn’t have had a better start to our wedding weekend! Highly recommend.“

“I can’t straight post .. so I will leave this here…. I am a Paramedic with Boothbay Region Ambulance Service… THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH for lunch this past Wednesday!! It was amazing!!“

“My wife and I were at the lounge the last 2 nights. Great atmosphere, the bartender was extremely friendly. It was our second trip to Boothbay/Sunset Lounge. Or previous experience was the same. Great place to visit, the Harbor Inn is away from the restaurants, shops and bars, but it is only a footbridge away.

Parking: Stay at the harbor inn, you won't drive again until you are ready to leave. Everything is within walking distance.“

“Had a late lunch here today. The food and service were excellent. Danny did a great job. Kitchen cooked the rib eye perfectly. The pan seared scallops over risotto was also excellent. We will definitely visit again.“

“This is one of our favorite spots. We go back every trip. The view is A+. Nothing compares to sitting out on the deck, watching the boats while enjoying a drink.

The food is always great. The clam chowder is one of the bests on BBH. The bang bang shrimp and the Caesar with blackened haddock. Everything is fresh and consistently delicious.

What makes it even better is the people. Chloe, Katy and Lily are the BEST and make you feel right at home every single time. They’re a huge part of why we keep coming back.

We love Linekin!!!“

“Classic Maine!! Great location and wonderful food and service!“

“You can be promised a waterview and NOT get one. My windows face other structures.“
