Creative and delicious. One of the best meals we have had in recent years. Everything from appetizers to deserts were the best.

Delicious menu! Literally everything is amazing, some items with a little spice which I totally appreciate. The seaweed infused tequila is 5stars and the hand rolled Lobster sushi is a must! Keegan is a charmer and an excellent server. The drinks are fab. All around good time. We had a table of 7 and they didn't miss a beat.
Our group split the bill 3 ways. My husband and I paid for 4 apps, 1 dinner, and 4 drinks =$140 (+20%tip). We thought that was totally reasonable.
Perfect date night or an outting with friends, high quality food that's totally affordable.
Vegetarian and pescatarian items also available. Something for everyone.

The new owners/chefs have done a great job. The food was beyond our expectations. Latin American and Asian fusion with Maine ingredients. Great addition to the Blue Hill peninsula.

Buck’s is a lovely restaurant, from the inviting terrace as you walk in, to the bright open dining room and bar, and sunny porch on the side. The staff is cheery and attentive and the food is delicious, innovative and beautifully presented. The prices are very reasonable and the drinks, beer and wine selections are top notch. The oysters, crab tostadas, lobster hand rolls were superb, the crispy rice and street corn tasty sides and all the desserts are fabulous. From beginning to end, we were well taken care of and delighted with everything we had!

Best Corn and Chili Chowder ever! We would like the recipe :P
Buck's Restaurant is beyond a 5 Star restaurant. Having traveled the world over the last 30 Years, I've been fortunate enough to dine at some pretty amazing, top of the top, restaurants. Buck's Restaurant is at the very top of my list now. When you step into Buck's, you immediately feel a sense of elegance, and creative style all around you. I started off with Alaskan Snow crab as an appetizer. It was delightfully out of this world. Presented beautifully, with yuzu beurre blanc sauce, it looked and tasted so great, just right! Next up, a blood orange vinaigrette salad. The salad was refreshing and felt like an energetic, splash of light. A refreshing and uplifting adventure, so tasty, I was all in! The main course was the Rack of Lamb. I was absolutely floored by how delicious and captivating this Main Course was. You can tell that the Lamb was of the highest caliber of meat one can wish to dine on. Cooked perfectly, this was one of my very favorite dishes I've ever eaten. I've traveled to Greece and I can say without a doubt, this was the best lamb I have ever had. Presented with crushed pistachios and a tasteful amount of hot honey, accompanied by some of the tastiest pureed potatoes one could wish to have. I was in pure ecstasy eating this fabulously rich and filling dish. At this point, I wasn't sure I would have any room for dessert. However, there was no way I could pass up trying Buck's Chocolate Mousse. Chef Phil Le Breton informed me that the Mousse was made from a select batch of Belgian Chocolate. I believe him, I was in my glory. My taste buds experienced a perfectly sweet, seductive chocolate mousse that just was frankly heaven. If you want the very best, look no further than Buck's Restaurant. It's privately cool, the food is creative and expertly prepared. The staff is highly professional, always there when you need them, but a focus on giving you the privacy and space to enjoy your company and meal. Hands down, my favorite restaurant.

Well it would have been better if the place was open on a Wednesday. Open Table took my reservation, confirmed it and when we got to the restaurant it was not open. Even the Google search result had it open on a Wednesday evening. The owners should pay better attention to their online presence. Definitely would not try to go here again.

We have loved Bucks for years. The space is lovely, our waitress was terrific, but the food was severely oversalted on this visit. My scallops were disappointing because of the salt, but the broccolini was inedible. Just a mouthful of salt. (Aside: why do restaurants serve broccolini? It looks tender, but the stems are always woody, and that leaves only the spindly tops to stand in as the evening's vegetable.) We'll go back, of course, because this was surely just one poor night in the kitchen, and we have always loved this restaurant.

This restaurant is award worthy. The food is flawless. The presentation is beautiful and meticulous, next level really. The service is spot on; warm, friendly and doesn't miss a beat. The atmosphere and setting are beautiful. If you're sailing in, it's one of the most gorgeous moorings you'll ever use, if you didn't sail in, stop and see the harbor, it's a postcard everywhere you look. This is my favorite restaurant.
