25 Best Seafood Restaurants near North Berwick

“Food was fantastic. Portions, freshness, flavors, presentation. Top notch. Parking huge, place small. Wish they felt confident and moneyed enough to expand or add a floor. Restrooms were sterling for access, decor, hygiene, aesthetics. Hostess was a very welcoming and very organized greeter. Waitress was a super professional and a wizard with recommendations. Cocktails were made by some person who is clearly a master at Jameson Highballs and or Cranberry Margherita works of art. Desserts were big city caliber, and the coffee was the perfect send-off into the night for the theater after a hell of a dinner. I was in a party of 4. All first timers. We all were floored at how great Johnson's is.“

“We ate at the Front Yard Saturday 3/23/24, our meals and service was excellent. The Octopus we had for an appetizer was tender and so delicious. Our meals were delicious also, I had the Lobster and Shrimp with papperdelli ale vodka and my wife had the seafood baulabaise. Jenni was our waitress and she was awesome.“

“My husband and I ordered a lobster roll and also got two lobsters (buy one, get one free, so a total of two). The food was incredibly delicious! I believe their lobster roll surpasses any I've had elsewhere, and their lobsters were also exceptionally fresh. If you order lobsters, be prepared for a bit of a wait (approximately 20 minutes), during which you can explore the nearby docks and bridges, which offer beautiful views. You might also consider ordering the lobster roll and lobsters separately, and enjoy the lobster roll while waiting for the lobsters. The only drawback (though not the restaurant's fault, of course) is that you'll need to find outdoor seating, so if it's a busy time, windy, or raining (as it was when we went), it might be a bit challenging for eating (we saw a lady requesting them to pack her items in a sealed box rather than an open paper box, which might be a good idea), so plan accordingly!“

“There are quite a few " smart casual" dining options in Ogunquit and I cannot claim to have tried them all, but , of those I have sampled That Place stands out. It is a small town average floor plan that lends an air of intimacy to a roomy vibe. The service is highly trained and knowledgeable but without being pretentious. As for the menu, it is large enough for choice but simple enough to suggest specificity and care for each dish. Escargots seem to be out of favor these days but here they immediately caught my attention and did not disappoint! Neither did the generous and perfectly cooked pork chop. Utterly delicious! My Hendricks martini arrived with a slice of cucumber as garnish- a stroke of genius- and has since become my sine qua non ( if you can persuade the bar tender to supply the cucumber!) Go on spoil yourself!! You'll thank me afterwards.“

“Our food was great as chef perfectly accommodated my request for light garlic in the shrimp scampi. My wife loved her stuffed haddock. These were part of the Sunday special: good sized entree and blueberry pie for $18 which is cheap for just the entree alone. Nice decor and our server Shannon was fantastic. We'll be back!“

“Been going there about four years with some of the family. Some of my family travels to Sanford every month from Old Orchard. I'm big on clam chowder. In my opinion it's the best clam chowder I've ever had. And I've tried a lot of restaurants who serve it. The service is fast and good. What I like a lot of the items come small medium and large. Which is good depending on your appetite. Easy going music throughout the dining room and not blearing ..,“

“The food was delicious. Despite being shorthanded the night of our visit, this restaurant delivered what they promised. Pizza was five-star, fresh fish prepared perfectly, meat balls and sauce like Mama used to make. A refreshing dining experience in Ogunquit. Honest and attentive service. We will be back to this place. Go and give it a try. Share a bottle of wine and some really good, fresh food.“

“I stopped in with some family on a drizzly November Saturday evening. Because it was off-season, and likely due to the weather, we were seated immediately, but I imagine that there would probably be a long wait to be seated during peak season. The menu is pretty standard American/New England dining fare. We ordered a bunch of different menu items, but I think the one that stood out to us all was the peanut-crusted chicken wings. Everything else was fine. It's really all about the location when dining here, anyways. You are quite literally across the street from the beach. It's worth dining here for the beautiful views. The staff is very attentive and on top of it. Several different staff members checked on our table regularly to see if we needed anything. Stones Throw was definitely worth the stop.“

“Came here for a quick lunch while visiting Ogunquit as "Beach Fire" was allegedly one of the top rated restaurants in town. It was a bit difficult to find parking on a busy Sunday afternoon, but we found a spot and headed in. The service was average, nothing to write home about. We were seated with five minutes of our arrival and the whole dining experience took close to 45 minutes total, which was standard. I'm not much of a seafood girl, so I opted for the "Rancher" sandwich which came with smoked chicken, bacon bits, melted cheese, mixed greens, tomato, and ranch. The smoked chicken was flavorful, but I would have preferred it to be just a simple slab of grilled chicken with pepper instead, because the smokiness was very overpowering. The homemade ranch, however, was extremely delicious and I yearned for a bottle to take home with me. The mixed greens added color and texture to the sandwich, which was appreciated. I also opted for a side of baked beans, which were delicious and had a bit of BBQ tang to them. Overall, the sandwich was decent but pretty messy, so make sure to have napkins nearby! We also ordered lobster rolls which sold at a market price of $29, which stood close to average for New England this season (I believe the range is $25-35). It was very tasty and fresh, but would have been served better warm instead of cold. The portion was fair, though the side dishes were bigger than the main course (as pictured). The fries were so-so, but the side caesar was one of the best Caesar salads I've ever had in my life. Beach Fire clearly knows how to do their dressings. Overall, I left satisfied and ready to take on Ogunquit!“

“Went here for the first time last weekend. Was very busy but, we showed up right in time and sat right down. Really good food. We had the Big Mac quesadilla, awesome! Mac and cheese with shaved steak. And my wife had a Caesar salad with steak tips. We loved everything. We'll go back. Looks like a great place to watch a game too.“

“We came here for an evening and had some drinks with Brittany, had great service and convo, came back for breakfast and had an absolutely AMAZING breakfast with again great service and I dare say one of the best breakfasts we’ve ever had! Highly recommend, if I could give this place 10 stars I would!“

“What better way to experience the Nubble Lighthouse and the park at Cape Neddick than by having a meal first at Fox’s Lobster House, overlooking the lighthouse? This family-run restaurant serves solid seafood fare, including sandwiches, lunch baskets, burgers, and whole lobsters.Since I wanted something light, as we had a planned big dinner, my eye caught the two mini fried fish tacos: fresh haddock bites in flour tortillas with Baja slaw, cheddar cheese, and house salsa.When the tacos came, they were huge; I almost didn't finish them. (The term "mini" is not entirely accurate.) They were prepared fresh, filling, and flavorful. I enjoyed them together with a glass of house Rosé.We finished our lunch with their famous homemade Maine blueberry pie, which was so delicious. As their saying goes, “One nibble on the Nubble, and you’re hooked.”The staff was friendly and helpful, especially in explaining their extensive menu. We truly enjoyed our lunch here, making it a great start to enjoy the park and the vicinity.“

“Went for my birthday with my husband, and it did not disappoint. Everything about this place is top notch, from the service to the atmosphere to the food. Cocktails are incredible. There is nothing that we ordered that we wouldn't highly recommend, abd this is the sort if place where I'd order something different even if I'm not sure about it because I know it would still probably be good. The scallops and my husband's steak were cooked perfectly, and the flavors were on point.“

“Great place tucked away in town. Has an upstairs patio outside and indoor seating. Food is great and reasonably priced. Also, friendly service. Definitely recommend anything to eat here.Parking: Parking is a little small and off the main road behind the main buildings in town. Not too many spaces, but there is paid street parking as well. Great restaurant overall.“

“A true outside experience amongst the trees and pavillion. Large outside bar area under a pavillion , usually a band, plenty of space for kids to play, many corn hole game set up through out the venue and corn hole and bocci ball tournaments for entertainment. Lobster dinners on sturdy paper plates and various other fried seafood dinners are available. No bugs just lots of outdoor fun !! Try it you will enjoy with kids or not with kids, plenty of space to enjoy.Kid-friendliness: Play area for kids, many corn hole games set up through out venue, supervised fire pit, swings , picnic tables.“

“Was late night Friday and not many places were open but we knew they were till 12 midnight so we stopped in and got dinner. If remember correctly they had about 10 beers on tap including local brewers beers which was nice they also had speciality drinks as well after ordering drinks we ordered a Bacon burger,Buffalo fingers and mozzarella sticks. The burger was great and the appetizers came out in minutes and were awesome! The menu didn't have any desert listed but we asked and they said they had a strawberry shortcake desert with ice cream and a brownie desert as well so we happily ordered both and they came out looking delicious and were not small in size. Both were great! It was a cold late night so it was quite in there but it looks as if there's normally a band and there's a bar and tables out on the back deck which is directly on the river and there's boats docked all along the back of restaurants. Definitely a cool place to eat on a summer night. I've heard it's really busy in summer time and on weekends and I could see why. There's tons of tvs, and lottery to play while you wait!“

“I dont live in the area and it sucks i wont be coming back anytime soon. The food here was amazing. I found this place after searching a bunch of different restaurants in the area. What a find. Highly recommend. Seemed like a local favorite with the crowd and i can see why.“

“Had pretty decent dinner here when we visited. Make sure you give yourself enough time to beat the crowds of people in the evening. Pretty cool to go up the pool and choose your lobster among the dozens available. They also certainly know how to make a generous portion size.“

“This restaurant is absolutely wonderful. The location is extraordinary. The service is perfect and the food is delicious and creative. The bartender John is personable and makes great drinks. The hostess, who sadly I didn’t get her name was very friendly and very accommodating in seating us. The waitress was also just as great. I highly recommend this restaurant. We had a wonderful, memorable, delicious dinner. The view is gorgeous.Wheelchair accessibility: They have a lift on the side of the stairs.“

“Ok, I give them a benefit of a doubt with 4 stars because they have been around so long. It's not quite what it used to be though. Prices are up and you get a little less in the fact they no longer serve rolls before your dinner. I know, same story everywhere, but here it seems to be more striking. Seems they've tried to accentuate the bar area, and in doing so, they are alienating the diners going for a quiet meal. The bar was rather loud during dinner with occasional outbursts of people having fun, I'm not saying that it's bad, just not what Anderson going to just have a nice meal would want. They could benefit from adding sound proofing between the bar and dining areas. As for the food, it was very good, cooked well and flavorful. Unfortunately the plate was so cold, I felt I had to eat fast or not be able to enjoy warm food. Maybe keep the plates in a warmer spot? I'll update next time I go back and see if they improve. Lastly service was good, waitstaff was pleasant and just attentive enough.“

“Had lunch overlooking the ocean. Beautiful scenery and delicious lunch. Had the lobster roll with a side salad. The lobster roll was overflowing with lobster meat and very little mayo. Our server was friendly and polite. Must place to eat when in the area.“

“We had a nice relaxed Breakfast here while staying at the hotel off-season. Jazz music in the background, nice waiter, good food. The view in the background makes it extra special. Would eat here again. (The entrance door open was on the south side, the other doors were locked.)“

“We visit the York Beach area one to two times a year and have eaten at The England House many times. The food and service are always excellent. This visit to Maine we visited two times. The steak bomb special and the fish dinner were amazing.“

“Outstanding experience! Pleasant atmosphere, excellent service by Michelle. The Vodka Caramel Mule was AMAZING - I would return just to have another one of those. The haddock was delicious and their roasted potatoes were SO good....nice and crispy on the outside, soft on the inside. Really enjoyed our meal.“
