My company Hager Photography has had the absolute pleasure of photographing a few weddings here at Dimillo's including one just last month and it was AMAZING. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a great New England wedding experience. Dimillo's is such a unique venue! How cool would it be to get married on a boat? They have great views and an amazing staff. You really can't go wrong here!

Juice chilled lobster meat in the rolls with chips on the side. Clam chowder is good with huge chicks of potatoes and good amount of clams.

We had the crab grilled and cheese and regular grilled cheese. Both were terrific. Great place to grab food and enjoy and outdoor space nearby

Well I’ve been craving salmon… mind you the only place I’ve ever had it was at the Doughbird in phoenix .. we went to DiMillos this afternoon .. I was sooo excited to have Maine salmon. We sat at the bar, took 25 minutes just to get someone to take our drink order… another 15 for someone to come ask us our food order. We ordered an appetizer then our meal.. appetizer came out in reasonable time.. 15 mins after we were done with our appetizer we were asked by our same person what our food order was again? Another 45 mins still no food… while people that came in after us were being served their food and we still have nothing!!! Needless to say we paid our bill and left, and I’m HANGRY!!!! Apparently I’m only supposed to only have salmon in Phoenix !!!!🙄🤦🏼‍♀️🫢🤷‍♀️

Had the chowder as a pre lunch snack ahead of a late lunch, one of the best chowders I have ever had. Delicious and full of seafood, well work the price. This is a chip truck style set up along the road near the wharf

I was on a bus tour from New Hampshire to Portland for a Lighthouse Cruise (also ? good). Prior to boarding the boat I had a grill cheese ? sandwich from the food truck and it was amazing! I want to know what cheese was used.

This is a really good place . I ordered the lobster roll with a side of chips, and it was one of the best lobster rolls I had. I’m not really a big fan of lobster, but this was truly delicious. They put a lot of lobster in it unlike any other place I have been to, also it was really fresh and flavorful. Totally recommend going here if you are in Portland.

Best lobster roll in Portland. I’ve been eating at all the spots and none had any decent tasting lobster. Then we found Dimillos. Best one hands down with tons of lobster goodness.

Walked in with no reservation, had called prior, and was told it could be an hour to two wait. We had our heart set on the prime rib, so of course, we would wait. Just before we left to grab drinks elsewhere while we waited, I asked the lovely ladies if there still is prime rib, a gentleman jumped in and asked what size and he would be sure to not on the reservation and let the kitchen know. We walked out blown away by this customer service. Sat at a bar across the street for less than an hour before we were texted that our table was ready. Upon arrival, the lovely hostesses showed us our seat. Our waitress came over sweet and super attentive. She asked us if we were still interested in the prime rib... how did she know! Great customer service. Come to find out, the communication with the hostess and waitress was impeccable. Again, blown away with the customer service. We were super pleased with our calamari and prime rib dish. Everything was so full of flavor. Come to find out, the gentleman who was kind enough to hold a prime rib for us was Steve Dimillo himself. All around, great experience and huge kudos to that team and owner for a all around fabulous experience!!!

Tonight, I was the guest of my brother and nephew at Dimillo's, the food was INEDIBLE! From the lobster stew to a Fried Fisherman's platter and polenta, all the food was so salty that my brother and I sent our food back to the kitchen. The waitor informed us that the salt was in the breading, so anything fried would likewise be salty. OK, but that doesn't explain the salty lobster lodster stew and polenta. In Portland, Maine, famous for excellent seafood, I had a hamburger and a salad. Upon leaving, the hostess asked about our dinner. I explained about the above dining misadventure. A gentlemen was standing nearby, apparently a manager, didn't apologize, but informed me that the stew and platter were their best sellers. I shrugged, and exited the restaurant.

The The fish was old you can taste and smell the ammonia. One piece OK and the second one is old smelly like ammonia. The Cook trying to cover it up. The I don’t have handicap bathrooms. I need two people get in and out because of that.

Wheelchair accessibility: Because you have a sticker on the window doesn’t mean for wheelchairs .

Amazing! The food was so delicious and do keep in mind that the menu constantly changes due to popular demand or availability of the products. I will definitely bring my family back and the atmosphere is something that you should not miss! I was not aware that I was on the water until I got off. The best perk is that you don’t have to look for a parking because they have one on their lot!

Day after XMAS buddy and I hit Cabelas and then had mussels chowder and crab cakes. Sat at the bar. Very comfortable and would have stayed longer but for an appointment in MA. Will return with the spouse for entrees on the deck in April!
