The Cockeyed Gull Restaurant

We got the food to go and we are staying at an Airbnb

Very rare for food to match its taste with its cost, it's not cheap, and that's a compliment. Excellent service and laid back environment

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) 😉

Food and vibes were phenomenal. Our server Christian was so friendly and attentive! I live in Portland but would absolutely take the ferry just to eat here again

Loved this place! We went to the island to wander a bit and enjoy the sunset the week after Labor Day. It was windy and we were the only people on the patio as the sun went down before we went back in and sat at the bar. Sam was warm and welcoming, and answered all of our questions about life on the island as if we were friends, chatting over drinks.
The food was delicious! Unexpected Korean influenced dishes, really great.

It was a great dinner! Christian was a fantastic server. I am sorry I had the Halibut. It was so good I am not eating halibut anywhere else. This place just great. The views, atmosphere and of course the food. Go there, you won’t regret it.

Our server Christian was so welcoming! They were able to get us a table without a reservation (next time we will call ahead) and as a back up we could have sat at the bar but we loved our waterview. My tequila cosmo and my aunts negroni were mixed perfectly. Then OMG our entrees were so delicious (Lamb & Lobster Linguini) we were sharing off each other's plates. Thank you!

If you end up on Peak Island in Maine. Skip Jones Landing for a meal. Food was bad service was worse and prices were outrageous.

2nd night on the island we went to the Cockeyed Gull!!! Food was amazing. Views was great and our server Jack was amazing. The fact I know his name for this review should be an indication how much better this place is then any restaurant there

The Cockeyed Gull is our favorite restaurant on Peaks Island. The food and cocktails are always amazing! Great views from the patio, and you’re extra lucky if you get Christian as your server. He’s really personable, attentive, and gives great recommendations! We’ll be back.

I do not typically write reviews on Google, but our experience at the Cockeyed Gull was so exceptional that I had to let everyone know! We had an amazing experience at the cockeyed gull on Saturday, July 13th. Trust me when I say I have not had a seafood meal this delicious since our trip to Sicily. Spontaneously, we decided to visit Peak Island on our trip to Maine.

The frogs decorated around the restaurant were absolutely adorable. We loved the meditating frog outside of their beautiful pollinator and vegetable garden surrounding the property.

We made a reservation for 7:45, and they kindly seated us 20 minutes early. Our server Christian was highly attentive throughout the entirety of our dining experience. He always made sure that we were taken care of and our water was full. He spoke highly about the restaurant as well as our choices for food. We started with the little neck clams cooked in what was possibly the best broth we’ve ever tasted. We did not leave a single drop. Our minds were blown instantly. My main course was a linguine with cilantro butter sea scallops, and my husband chose the wasabi pea encrusted halibut. Both were to die for. The breading was the perfect amount on the halibut and it stayed on perfectly.

We were full from the appetizer and entrees but we were curious about the carrot cake. Christian insisted that we should not miss trying it and that it was the best carrot cake he has ever had. After trying the decadent cake, we agreed. The three layer carrot cake was out of this world. No carrot cake we’ve ever had could compare.

The view of the sunset over Portland’s skyline was picture perfect. We couldn’t believe that we had never heard of this place!

To top it off, we left our credit card at the restaurant and they kindly offered to mail it back! Needless to say, this restaurant will be a staple in our itinerary each time we have friends and family come to visit Portland. We would give it a 10/5 if we could!

First time there. Won't be my last. I'd even take the trip over from Portland just to eat here. The flavors were outstanding. We all LOVED our meals.
BEST PLACE TO EAT IN THE ISLAND..
