20 Best Seafood Restaurants near Rockport

“Local lobsters right out of rockport harbor prices are reasonable I’ve had lobsters from them 4times this year and the old shell lobsters were full of meat like they should be can’t get any fresher then being caught and brought to the shop the same day“

“Staff is always so friendly and helpful, even when they are super busy! Products always fresh and fantastic! They have everything you need for an entire meal plus some wonderful unique items that would make great gifts!
Additionally, the wine selection is top tier.“

“The service was great, very polite but the kids pasta is super pricey for not a lot of pasta.“

“Really nice waitress, great food - we will definitely return“

“Excellent food in a beautiful location. The top notch attentive staff make you feel welcome. We eat at Salt Wharf almost weekly. By far, the best in the area.“

“Eclipse of the Pearl is a new jewel ? Lovely ambiance and thoughtful/tasteful creative food. Midcoast is privileged to enjoy and share this new restaurant. The owner is caring and meticulous: your appreciation is HIS reward. ?“

“WOW!!!A feel-good local favorite, I’m so glad that out of all of the great restaurants on Main Street I chose “Rockland Cafe”, I had read some reviews about it before I came to town and was swayed by some of creative offerings on their menu like their Reuben Sandwich made with a fish filet 🐠 (!), Seafood Lasagna and their Homemade Fish Cake which is a reason to travel to Rockland, Maine! It was a cross between a Potato 🥔 Latke/Pancake and a Puerto Rican 🇵🇷 Bacalaito - it’s delicious!!!! A must try with some lemon 🍋 wedges (skip the tartar sauce). I don’t recall my server’s name but she had a fun personality and told me how much she loves her job. I watched how customer after customer were all greeted by name because this is a local spot that has a loyal fan club! I would have loved to have tried many more items such as their many dessert pies - apple, blueberry, peanut butter and chocolate but I didn’t have room in my stomach! I write about food professionally and can say that this place serves everything with love. Keep it up!!!“

“We visited Camden in early December, 2025 just as the local holiday festivities were starting. Wonderful area, particularly to experience the magic of the holidays. Lots of fun events and convenient to take day trips to many other wonderful areas of Maine.“

“My aunt and I went to Archer’s on Monday and splurged for lunch and totally enjoyed ourselves! The setting was gorgeous, beautiful with views of the harbor and we had the best seat in the house. The staff and were friendly and knowledgeable on the menu. We tried the peekytoe crab cakes and oyster Rockefeller for appetizers and had the lobster lunch special! That lobster was the best one I’ve ever had, perfectly steamed and very delicious. Couldn’t walk away without a slice of raspberry and blueberry pie for dessert! I will recommend this place to all my friends who travel to Maine for vacation! Archer’s made these 2 Cajun gals very happy while we were on vacation! Thank you so much Lynn!“

“Everyone at J&J is super friendly, lobster prices are very reasonable, and watching how they operate is really fun! Owners are AMAZING and so are their employees! Bonus: if you're lucky you'll catch the owners there with their ridiculously cute dog, Orca, and gets lots of snuggles and loves from her!“

“The lobster roll was #1. The lobster red Ale wasn't too bad either. My sweetie gave the clam chowder a big thumbs-up. Thanks“

“Extraordinary and unlike any other restaurant in Maine. We found the establishment on our Michelin Guide portal, pretty much the only place recommended by Michelin in Maine. We enjoyed the lobster tasting, beautiful dishes of Maine lobster combined with south East Asian flavors. Service was attentive and knowledgeable .“

“I honestly can't understand why this gem isn't getting more attention. We have eaten there three times, and each time, the food has been out of this world. It's shocking that such a small, unassuming place knocks it out of the park in terms of bread (every single bread on the menu is FANTASTIC--last time we went, our table got one of each!), entrees, drinks AND baked desserts. If you want a stellar meal in a low-key atmosphere, you must go to Albatross. I sort of don't want the secret to get out, because I want to always be able to get a table, but this place should be packed every day.“

“We enjoyed Fresh and Company. It's a nice venue in a location close to the waterfront. I had the Rigatoni Ala Vodka and a broccolini side. I'd give my meal a five out of five. My spouse had the Chicken Schnitzel. She'd give her's a four. The wine prices were quite fair. It was a nice meal. The service was good, but a bit slow. That's OK, we'd rather have some extra time than be rushed. We'd happily return in the future.“

“My review is based off of the tamales just ordered. I grew up in Panama and it was one the best treats to get fresh tamales. It didn’t happen very often- but when it did, I loved them so much. And obviously in Maine- it’s almost impossible to find them- especially authentic. I was quite impressed with Sammy’s take on tamales. Of course- they are not the exact replica of what I had- but they are very impressive. And it’s A LOT of work to make them. It’s not Taco Bell. These are real tamales and I truly hope they don’t go away. Thanks so much for adding these into the Midcoast menu taking the time. Truly delicious. 🇵🇦“

“High Tide Restraunt in Rockland was amazing and so was the service! Thank you Thressa for all your help! You made our first lobster eating experience so wonderful!“

“Though raised in the Midwest, my family is from California & my mom cooks great Mexican food… so I was prepared to be disappointed when I first went to try the fare at this popular local restaurant- in several visits I have never been disappointed. Though (not surprisingly) not quite ‘equal’ to the best I’ve ever had, their Mexican and Southwest-inspired dishes are REALLY delicious, and very generous in portion size (just TRY to finish even a half-order of their nachos by yourself!). The friendly staff complete a great dining experience. Thank you Park Street Grille! :)“

“Just spent 5 nights here & it was a great stay. Perfect location! Our room was Paris. It was beautiful with lots of pillows and the bed was so comfortable! Would definitely recommend & stay here again!“

“Amazing lobster rolls and stew!!! Great service and healthy pours! I apologize as my husband knocked over the whole tub of silverware coming into the place but thanks for the laughs!!!“

“First time dining here and it won’t be my last. Delicious food. I love the menu choices. Tasty drinks. Excellent wait staff. Didn’t wait too long for our food after ordering. Restrooms available. Seating available for indoors and outdoors. Nice comfortable chill atmosphere.“
