“Fantastic service and food. We were accommodated at short notice and has a wonderful evening. The flatbread and mussels were particularly good! We had oysters to share at the start. There's a nice mocktail menu too, which we also enjoyed a couple from. Friendly staff and a cool location inside an old apple barn. 🍕🦪“

“I love Pizza Nite the most!!“

“The vibe here is welcoming, real, and genuine. The food and drinks are top notch along with the service. And it all begins with the owners, Zoli and Sarah, who are kind and honest as the day is long. We can’t speak highly enough of them, their crew and this establishment. We will come by every time we are in the area.“

“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“

“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!!!“

“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.“

“The White Clover's warm decor, white table cloths and wall to wall to wall windows granting harbor views, created that atmosphere for a magnificent date night. Nakita was personable, and immediately made you feel that you had her full attention. We started with a specialty cocktails. The Pink vesper was a fun and light. We had lamb chops and beet salad for appetizers. Both were perfectly prepared with the appetizer lamb chops being more than enough to share. The golden beets were such a treat! Mid course of asparagus with feta that was whipped and provided a wonderful pairing. For the main, We had the lobster and halibut succoatash and the lamb shank. Again Chef Kyle outdid himself. Every bite was better than the next. Lastly we shared the key lime tart and then rolled ourselves out of the restaurant! This is not to be missed!“

“Spectacular doesn’t begin to describe our experience at Grey Havens Inn! From the moment we arrived, the magnificent harbor view beckoned us to sit in a big ol’ rocking chair on the Inn’s lovely porch, cocktail in hand & relax completely into the moment. Oh & sunsets? Outstanding! Our first moments at Grey Havens were so warm & welcoming. Actually even before arriving, calls with innkeepers, Ali & Carlos, had us beyond excited for our initial stay. I say initial because of course we definitely will return & soon I hope! I could list endlessly all the delightful elements that the Grey Havens team have combined to create a place in which one can truly & gloriously unwind. From the lovely & cozy guest rooms to the gorgeous bay-windowed common room (with its stunning actual bay-view) the vibe is marvelous. Grey Havens feels quintessentially seaside Maine with just the barest but perfect touch of some lovingly placed & demure whimsy to intrigue a curious eye. Our initial stay dates did not overlap with Blue’s calendar, sadly. However the many tales we heard of Chef Esau’s creations have us drooling in anticipation. We will ensure we enjoy a dinner at Blue upon our return to Grey Havens.“

“Fabulous in all respects!“

“Had a great lunch! Drinks were tasty and even though it was busy we got great service!“

“Kind staff and good food and views“

“Always great food and big portions! Wait staff is great too!“

“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.“

“Interesting place for breakfast/brunch mostly. Closes at 1pm. Only dish they could make vegan was the veggie mishmash (minus eggs or cheese). Was tasty. Comes with a side of toast. Would appreciate if they had more options for plant-based diets but thats the same as most restaurants in the area.“

“We went to the Salty Stag for a casual lunch and the view was beautiful. Our server Jana (dp?) was helpful and attentive in spite of serving customers outdoors on the patio along with us being indoors. Our meals were very delicious with generous portions. In particular was the amount of lobster in the Lobster Mac and Cheese! So good and too much for one person. ( We ended up taking a huge portion home .) I also recommend the SPI Cooler for a nonalcoholic refreshingly yummy beverage! It's made with 4 different fruits and really hit the spot on a summer day! Finally, we decided to get desserts to go since we were full but wanted something sweet to have later. We got two of the decadent chocolate flourless tortes. They were packed perfectly so when we ate them later they looked as nice as if we had eaten them at Spruce Point! Thanks to this lovely experience we now look forward to returning for a dinner at their upscale Whiteclover dining room! I hope to have the Lobster Thermidor !!!“

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

“First time in my almost 70 years and decided to finally drive down with my best friend and it did not disappoint. We waited 2 hrs,made some friends along the way and the lobster roll was unbelievable. This will be a tradition now,GREAT job Reds“

“Was down in the Wiscasset area antiquing & decided to stop in to the Taste of Orient. Usually try to go there whenever we are down in the area. as usual we were very happy with the food, service . it was delicious & even had some to take home. The crab rangoons were delicious. The best we've ever tasted. Would definitely recommend. Will be back again when in the area.“

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

“Have been going to Shaws during our many visits to Maine. Their food is top quality fresh seafood! From whole lobsters to lobster rolls you can't go wrong! You can eat inside but the outside tables provide the best views of the New Harbor cove and the lobster boats!! Prices are high, but with today's economy they are in line for fresh seafood! You can pick your live lobster 🦞 and it will be prepared for you with lots of butter and a bib to keep your clothes clean. Today we had the lobster rolls and a couple of beers!“
