Wandered here for lunch and was greeted by a cozy, dimly lit dining room with only a few people in it, but with a buzzing, friendly energy. Our server was lovely and happily shared the dishes she enjoyed with us. My friend ordered a lobster roll and I ordered a big bowl of clam chowder, along with a root beer and a bright red mocktail.As much as it was hyped, the food felt a bit under-seasoned, and I struggled to taste much fishiness from my soup or my friend’s roll. The chips and pickle served with the roll were really good, as were the drinks.I would come here again during a warmer month & take advantage of the patio outside. I’d also come mentally prepared for the $75 bill at the end- not unjustified on their part, just a bit on the pricey end.Overall, would recommend!

This place is located next to Porthole restaurant.The oysters were ABSOFREAKINLUTELY amazing!!!!!!They were juicy, briny, and salty! ? M, so good!!!Nooooooow, the lobster and the lobster roll I was NOT impressed with. The roll was bland, with no lettuce, condiments, nothing. ?The lobster was ok, but the drawn butter was salt free. So everything was bland and I didn't like it!

Straight up Maine seafood. No frills. Nice, not amazing. Not a tourist trap despite its nice location.

Great place to go and drink and enjoy fresh oysters. They are super fresh. Also order the mussels in a hard cider and mustard broth. I actually went back again on a different night for more Oysters.Service team was great. Can't wait to go back.

The baked stuffed lobster is truly a one of a kind treat, best lobster meal I have ever eaten!!! Jillian and Darcy made our visit very special. The oysters and lobster roll were also amazing. If you’re looking for a fun night out with great food, choose Boone’s!!!

What a gem! I'm local at this is my first time here. The atmosphere is absolutely "Maine" and well done. The food, we started with the Pork Belly was presented beautifully, and tasted better then it looks. We are here for lunch, the Ceasar Salad and Chicken Sandwich were also great. Will be taking me wife here now for dinner most certainly. Also love its locally owned.

Very sad when you spend over $200 for a meal and they don't validate your parking ticket. Dimillos does!
Our meals were delicious and the service was top notch.

My experience was phenomenal! My bartender/server was Jill S. She was amazing! She could tell I was a guest in town. She asked the right questions and everything Jill suggested was spot on! I will continue to visit this restaurant every time I’m in Portland. Boone’s is a great place and Jill made it even greater!!

I went here for brunch with some friends. The place we originally planned to go was closed, and Boone's had a sign advertising brunch so we thought we'd try it.We tried ordering the Flatbread, but they didn't have it. Then, I tried ordering the eggs Benedict, but they were out of that too. Then, I tried ordering hash, but they were out of potatoes. Finally settled for eggs and toast, which was mediocre. The table next to us got a lobster that looked good though. Maybe brunch isn't their strong suit.Atmosphere was nice.
