“You have to check out the Anchor! The food is excellent! We had the calamari as an appetizer: delicious! The dipping sauce was a bit sweet for me (I like spicy) but delicious nonetheless. Baked Haddock is awesome! Really fresh and served on top of creamy polenta cakes! Yummy! Excellent wine list! Views to die for! You must check it out!“

“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.“

“Our dinner at Ocean Point Kitchen with Joel as a server was excellent but I have one issue with their logic. My dinner, a chicken breast included asparagus as one of the sides. Asparagus, on their menu is a $12 side if added. As i do not eat asparagus, i asked for substitute and was told i could but “would be charged.” My preferred change would have been French fries, an $8 side item. In what world would some business not swap a $12 item for an $8 item effectively saving them $4.00. I just don't get it. After thinking about it, I should have said do not waste the asparagus, give me half credit for their alleged value, and we all win. Maybe it how they do math in Maine?“

“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!!!“

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