13 Best Seafood Restaurants near Old Town

“Great food and super friendly staff! Very accommodating to kiddos too.“

“This was my first visit to Maine! I'm glad I got to have a quick lunch at Governor's. The onion rings with horseradish sauce were just wonderful! I also had the haddock chowder. It was delicious ?. The haddock sandwich was good, but a little one note. It could have used some additional flavor and texture. Overall though, it was a really nice lunch. And the bakery items looked amazing!!“

“I cannot love this place more! This has my favorite kinda of noodles and just tap my liking the crab magoons are great! I love the chicken wings and this place so great! It’s a little messy but if you see and mind you business on the customer side is honesty isn’t that bad and I’ve read these reviews and people just don’t know how to appreciate the Staff and how polite they are I’m very happy with my food so far and look forwards coming next time I get a break off!.“

“Their lobster rolls are AMAZING, huge and delicious. Their French fries and coleslaw are the best. We got ours “to go”. Everything is packed separately: lobster meat in PINT-SIZED containers, coleslaw, French fries and two rolls (there’s more than enough lobster to fill two rolls). They deserve 10 stars, but 5 stars is the limit.“

“Bought Crabmeat and scallops today. Delicious! Fair price.“

“The woodwork is very nice. It has the feel of a local. It was clean. It was missing a dart board. The art was black and white...lacked colour. Our server was very accommodating and the bar tender was extremely friendly. The menu was kind of Irish. It does have the adopted bar dish of Bangers and Mash which the Claddagh uses the term " bratwurst" to describe the sausage. Lots of Guinness based dishes too...A bratwurst is a German sausage typically made with pork, often seasoned with spices like nutmeg, marjoram, and caraway, while an Irish sausage, also called a "banger," is a milder sausage with a higher proportion of meat and less pronounced spices, often including ingredients like breadcrumbs or rusk to create a softer texture. Fish and Chips and other bar staples were there....but it does not feel Irish.

I guess it meets the definition. An authentic Irish pub will be a very laid back and chill. This meets the bill. A good place for a drink if you get over it's a hotel bar with limited hours and serves tater tots/pizza.

So the order:
A salad was brought out. It was a garden salad. It only loses points based on the courtons having this dry crumbly look....it was a salad. Nothing lost nor nothing gained.

The soup of the day...was chowder.The name "chowder" comes from the French word chaudiere, which refers to a large, three-legged iron cooking pot. I mean chowder is traditional Irish. Again uninspired...No beef barley, curry soup (mulligantawny), potato leek....something!!!

Now, The special entree was great! I had the chicken pot pie. The pastry top was flaky and good. My party got there at 5:18. Despite us and only 1 other party being in the dining room...We were told that we ordered the last two! This was really great and I am sorry other patrons missed out. It was piping hot with potato, Mashed Potatoes smeared to adhere the pastry, carrots, peas, chicken (very little). Plating was messy. I give it a A- but because of the pastry. The filling was a B. Again, the staff made the atmosphere by being very kind.“

“Great atmosphere, beautiful building, good drinks and excellent food.“

“Dietary restrictions: If you tell them they will do their best to accommodate almost any reasonable requests

Parking: I believe that they have like 36 parking spots if lot is full you could park nearby in the mall parking area behind Governor's just a short walk to the building most busy during day they have specials.

Kid-friendliness: They have crayons and some coloring pages .hi chairs an booster seats

Wheelchair accessibility: They have a wheelchair ramp and wheelchair accessible bathrooms“

“We've eaten from Chinese restaurants across Canada and the New England states over the past couple of weeks. The food here was the best so far. Not as good as expensive restaurants, but good for takeout and the price.Note: This is a strictly take out or delivery place. No tables available inside.“
