View of the harbor and plenty of parking. Food was good (lacked a little flavor) and dessert was served cold. Service was very good, everyone was very kind. They provided us with blankets, which was nice. Prices of the food contradict the ambient of the place (plastic table, chairs, and glasses)

Update: the suggestion of olive garden was to say that their terrible food is better then this restaurants terrible food, I don't eat at olive garden and certainly wouldnt eat here again, but for the price your better off at olive garden then over paying for this garbage. Thanks for the nasty reply though, even the owner has a wonderful helpful attitude as you can see from this and the other replies to reviews (maybe the owners attitude towards customers rubs off on the staff and is why they think its acceptable).
Terrible, I can't believe this is what tourists are greeted with for a Maine experience. Food is gross. Got swordfish that I am not sure was fresh served with frozen French fries that were cold. You'd think for the price they charge you could get some real fries, I mean potato are that expensive. Not worth the price, you'd be better off at olive garden and they arent great but better than here. All the staff have attitudes like they would rather be anywhere else on earth which doesnt make the experience great either. I do not recommend

You know when you're starving and pretty much anything tastes good? Well even starving this place was not great, so thank gosh I was starving. Everything is way overpriced, and when I speak prices, I don't mean that I wasn't expecting to pay those prices. I mean that the product and service do not match the prices being charged. The food is bland and either pre-made or frozen and very small portions. The swordfish plate was laughable.Possibly because they are near the ocean, although in an industrial area, the lobster could (or could not) be fresh? I felt ill for the rest of the night after eating the sad swordfish dish. After reading reviews, it looks like several people got food poisoning here. I should have read the reviews before I went and I would have taken the extra 15 minutes it would take me to get to Rockport , stopped to buy a sundress, and gone to our favorite restaurant there. The Landing is very very casual dining BTY. The inside of the restaurant felt cluttered , dirty, and stuffy so we opted for outside seating and hoped for the best. Darlene was our waitress. She didn't seem interested in providing an excellent experience. She actually made us uncomfortable, like she was annoyed or thought she was better than us 😆 . I was impressed by the runner/busboy. I've noticed that whoever is monitoring this page seems to be rude and not willing to accept criticism. Interested to see how they respond to this review. They obviously cannot take criticism well and aren't willing to change. Embarrassing for Maine. Go to Ports of Italy in Rockport

Greeted with kindness and the view was spectacular! We really enjoyed watching the ships on the harbor since we got a table on the patio. The only disappointment was the food. We both ordered different meals and found it bland. Was not worth the price. Gluten free is limited here.

Just had the best meal tonight! I had the shrimp and scallops, the hubs had haddock and scallops, we shared and it was incredible! The seafood was the freshest and cooked perfectly! We inquired about the chef and was told he was the twin of the host and only 21! Kudos to him and his amazing skill! I would be remiss in not mentioning our incredible waitress! She was so kind, personable and extremely attentive! Loved her! And last but not least we dined on the outside deck and the ambiance was like sitting with a group of friends on your own back deck! We will definitely be back!!!! If you are not from Maine and are unsure how seafood should be cooked you must try this place!

Two visits this year. Food is close to perfect, their breading is light and flavorful. The Blueberry Bread Pudding earned an extra star (and a notch in my belt). Staff is friendly and attentive, and if the weather allows dining on the deck, it's hard to imagine better.
On the water. We had the halibut and it was outstanding the servers were very friendly. The scenery was beautiful. We had a fantastic time.

The wife had the mussels which were good but they only gave her two scrawny little pieces of toast I had the fried oysters and they were delicious But there were only about 5 of them. And the fries were frozen. For 29 bucks you would think that they could have thrown in a few more oysters and made fresh cut fries. Probably won't rush back.

The French onion soup was fantastic and so were the scallops and bacon! Can't wait to go back and try dessert! Also the owner was so nice and gave us free glasses of champagne when she found out we had just been married!

The service was perfect, Liz was amazing at the bar, she was attentive and made my drink perfectly. The owner Kate, custom made my meal to order and I couldn’t have been happier. Beautiful restaurant, genuine service and life changing sea food. I will be back! Thank you ❤️
