The lobster stew and clam chowder were both in the top 5 of the best I ever had. But everything was delicious. Kudos to the fresh bread

Decent stuffed lobster. I didn’t actually get the side that I ordered, but it was still good

The atmosphere is cool and fun but the service is so slow. Our waitress was very nice but took 15 mins to get us water and get our drinks. Pasta was overcooked and the taste just seemed off. Clam chowder was good I guess. Definitely would only recommend if you HAD to eat. Seems like a lot of locals that come here for the consistency but this place isn’t anything special

Fantastic service, food and drinks. My husband got the steamed Maine lobster and it was a lot easier to get out of its shell than expected. I would not recommend the lazy lobster, it is easier than getting the lobster out of its shell but it's served in a lot of butter.

Over priced for lousy food. We had a better meal at Luke's Lobster for a lot less money. Dimillos is a tourist trap with so so

Everything from the service to food was A+!!! We are from Vegas and had a delicious app and some cocktails. Nothing disappointed as we watched ferries come in. The root of it- delish! Husband had the lobster stew and was in seafood coma/bliss. He literally drank every drop of it. Steve was our server and was a plethora of great information/suggestions. He gave us a map and highlighted some key points for us to visit. What an excellent find. We will be back in a few hours for more snacks and drinks before heading back home.

A great place for dinner. Beautiful views of the water in Portland harbor. The food was great and the atmosphere was incredibly relaxing. Luigi was a delightful server who was attentive and our food was brought out in a timely manner. I recommend to anyone just visiting Portland, but was also a very nice experience for those of us who are more familiar with the area also. I will definitely go again in the future.

Yeah they're really good. Foods great, a bit pricey but if you're out with a large group or family, the setting really warrants it. Great service, never had an issue in 20 years.

Everything was delicious. The bacon wrapped scallops were outstanding. The Lobster roll was also delicious. Will definitely will be back....

Being my first time in Portland, Maine, my colleagues thought it a treat to take me to a popular restaurant, DeMillos on the Water. I was pleasantly surprised with the variety and diversity of seafood options (it is what they are known for) as well as land options for those that prefer. What none of us were prepared for was the incredible wit from our server 'Bobby' who has worked at this establishment for 28 years. Her incredible humor, strong knowledge of the menu and recommendations did not fall on deaf ears. We not only laughed throughout the meal but were also incredibly impressed with the food that we were served. I started with the Lobster Stew, which as 'Bobby' described, was full of buttery goodness and flavor. It did NOT disappoint! In addition, they have both gluten free as well as gluten free options to many of the selections. The pecan crusted haddock that several of us chose was packed with flavor and more than satisfying. I can't think of a better location to have your 'first meal' in Maine and would go back just for the entertainment that our server provided for us!
