Lobster roll was good. Nothing fancy, just fresh tasty lobster meat in soft buttered toast. The fries were crispy and tasty. The atmosphere is relaxed and spacious. We sat at the bar which had TVs. Great place to hang out and have a cocktail with authentic Maine cuisine.

This was a great restaurant with a bar! Comfortable, great atmosphere, low-key, and just an all-around great place to go to for drinks and food!
I live in Boston...it was my first time here, and I'll definitely be back!
We sat at the bar, which is just our preference, the bartender was very nice, attentive, friendly, and made GREAT drinks. (We both got some "Punch" drink that's on the menu - I ABSOLUTELY recommend this drink! Strong but fruity and it's easy to drink...way too easy to drink lol!
Appetizers: ~ We started with the Calamari with hot peppers on the side - absolutely delicious, crispy, mostly rings, not chewy at all, and cooked perfectly! ~ Also as an appetizer, my boyfriend got a cup of Clam Chowder, which was full of very fresh Clams, and the Chowder itself was perfect, not too thin and not too thick - again, absolutely delicious! ~ I got a cup of the Fish Chowder (Haddock Chowder, which was SO good! Surprisingly, it's hard to find a restaurant wit Fish Chowder! The Fish Chowder was literally filled with tons of good size pieces of Haddock! And, the Chowder itself was a little thinner consistency than the Clam Chowder, which is normal. It wasn't watery at all but still rich and creamy. Both Chowders came with Oyster Crackers. The "cup" size was a great portion!
The Fish Chowder was so good that we went back the next day before we headed back to Boston so that I could get a Bowl of Fish Chowder to take home! (Yeah, it was THAT good!)
Dinner: ~ My boyfriend got the grilled Salmon - plain...just seasoned with pepper, lemon, and a pinch of salt. And, for sides he got squash and garlic mashed potatoes. He loved it! I tried his Salmon, and honestly, it was one of the best pieces of Salmon I've ever had! Salmon was cooked perfectly, extremely fresh and flavorful! ~ And, I got the Swordfish but I got it plain and added Extra Cajun Seasoning - oh my God...it was SO good - cooked perfectly, not dried out, extremely flavorful! Definitely one of the best Swordfish dinners I've had! For sides, I had fresh broccoli and the garlic mashed potatoes. GET THE GARLIC MASHED POTATOES!! They were SO GOOD and had just the right amount of garlic!
I give Weathervane Restaurant a 10 out of 10! Comfy, cozy, laid back atmosphere and absolutely AMAZING food and drinks with great portions!
I can't wait to come back!
** I really thought I took pictures of the food but, apparently, I didn't...I apologize to anyone reading this. I never write a review without photos as proof. But, just trust me on this, the food was extremely good, seafood is fresh, and it's definitely worth coming here!

Fantastic experience here. The food was incredible. The baked stuffed seafood platter was the best seafood dish I’ve ever eaten. Our waitress was kind and it was a cozy atmosphere. Must go if in Maine!

Food was hot and served nicely. Felt like our server Walter, was a bit abrupt. No time for small talk, "hi, how are you, thanks for coming in today". A little more personalization is always appreciated. It was an ok experience overall

Great spot. They do Thursday lobster special with 1/2 off bottles of wine so that's a pretty sweet deal. Good drinks at the bar. Ask the blonde girl to make you a long island, it's a fun time
