“Best lobster roll in town! Wonderful staff!“

“We had a wonderful meal at the bar, tried a couple cocktails each, and split 6 dishes with a dessert, which was actually the perfect amount for two hungry people. Cocktails were great. Food was all truly excellent, the maitake tacos were recommended and were a highlight of the meal. Mackerel crudo was crazy. Scallops, avocado and hamachi all great. Cant say enough about the great hospitality we received from Mena at the bar. He was thorough with accommodating an allergy, genuine, gave the right recommendations, and had great knowledge of the menu. His colleague that night who was serving the floor was also a really friendly and and genuine person. We appreciate them, and would go back here again for sure.“

“We had an amazing experience on the Lucky Catch Lobstering Cruise in Portland, Maine! The crew made everything so fun and educational. We got hands on experience checking lobster traps, baiting them, and learning all about lobsters and the local lobster industry. The boat itself was comfortable and offered great views of the harbor, and the crew was friendly, knowledgeable, and full of interesting stories. This cruise is perfect for anyone who wants a true Maine lobstering experience, highly recommend getting out on the water with Lucky Catch!“

“The food here is DELICIOUS!!! One of the best views in Peaks Island off the outdoor balcony deck. We ordered the cucumber salad, the salmon and the scallops. For dessert the carrot cake - which you could taste it wasnt store bought, but rather made with love - and chocolate balls. Everything was amazing, but especially the scallops. Our server was also very kind and friendly. Don’t let the lack of curb appeal fool you, this is a must stop hidden gem.
PS: I noticed you guys only respond (hilariously) to the negative reviews (I hope to receive a comment from THE Cockeyed Gull Restaurant) 😉“

“Amazing food! We brought our lobster catch from Lucky Catch to them. They cooked it to perfection for us! Couldn’t recommend enough“

“The Big Chief is what I had tonight and I was quite pleased. The sandwich was well filled and flavorful. The sides we ordered along with the different sauces were all on point. Staff is friendly and willing to offer suggestions. We will definitely be returning!“
