26 Best Seafood Restaurants near Rockport

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

“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“

“Call ahead to pick up steamed lobsters and yes,they are delicious! The walnut cranberry chicken salad and garlic shrimp should be outlawed,they're that good. If they have really moist blueberry muffins and don't forget to get some chowder. Seriously, this place is great! Be kind and don't show up right before closing time. They have a lot of cleanup to do once they close their doors, so be respectful.“

“This review is short and sweet. It’s a five. Go there and eat.

Ok. Don’t roll up on this place and roll your eyes and leave. That haddock sandwich is something to write about. I snagged that baguette the second the baker put it on the shelf. Still warm! The tartar sauce is scratch made and delicious. Skip the fries and get the onion rings. Slaw is yummy.

In the cooler are some fresh made sandwiches. The sandwich bread is perfection and they are made fresh. I loved the egg salad. My husband had chicken salad and said it was very good.

Grab some seafood from the market on your way out to take home.

Note: the seafood market has limited indoor dining.“

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

“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. ?“

“First time there, will go back again. Very nice people and service. Lobster rolls and cole slaw were great. People next to us recommended the Seafood Platter! Next time!!“

“Found this place about five years ago now we visit every time we are close we're from St. Louis Missouri and I've eaten here 10 or 12 times in the last few years. It's a must eat destination when in or near Central Maine! The Lobster Fettuccine Is To Die For 😋 🦞👩‍🍳🍝“

“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.“

“Good breakfast and lunch on Route 1 aka Main Street in Camden. Deck seating available weather permitting. Great service and great food at a fair price. Booths in the back overlook the harbor and you're right over the falls.

Parking: When it's busy in Camden parking can be a problem but off season we got a space right in front.“

“Visited here from upstate NY...Best meal ever and the coleslaw is the best I have ever had and I'm big on coleslaw. Will definitely be back, Everything was Cooked perfect!!!“

“As a born and raised Mainer we have been up and down the coast eating seafood all of our lives. This place is hands down one of the best. Seafood is plentiful as well as the best tasting. I consider myself a scallop conisor, l know a good fried scallop. This place is the best. And the fried clams are just as good. Take it from me you will not go hungry or disappointed.“

“Stopped here for lunch yesterday on a girls trip to Camden. I got the calamari, margaritas, and the waterfront Cuban and we all shared the brownie dessert. Absolutely delicious! They had so many enticing menu options it was hard to choose between them. They have indoor and outdoor seating with a beautiful view of the boats on the water. You won't be disappointed stopping here for a bite to eat.“

“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!“

“We took my sister out to eat for her birthday. We ordered 2 buckets.. seafood platter. Food was excellent! Servers were great. Even took pictures of us for me. Everyone was so polite and very fun. Food was served hot and tasted amazing. Best seafood place I've been to so far. Highly recommended. Even if prices were high, the food was well worth the 2 and half hour drive! Thank you all! 10 stars if I could give it to you.“

“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!“

“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.“

“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. 🇵🇦“

“I loved this restaurant so much that I ate here 2 of my 4 nights in Camden. They have such a wonderful menu that changes often. I ate outside each of my 2 times. They have a global menu that was very appealing including dishes from Brazil and Africa. The Spitzers were very refreshing. On my first visit I had the Marcequa (spelling) which was basically a stew with Haddock, shrimp and mussels in a coconut lime broth with jasmine rice and tomatoes. I loved it so much I went back another night. The whole menu looks great. The service was excellent. The only issue that I had was that my dish was priced on the menu as $35 but rang up as $38. When I pointed it out, they said that the menu changes (but the price??) and he didn’t offer to get the manager or anything. It still was great and if ever in the area, I’d go back!!
Things to note- Prices vary between menu and receipt. Bread and butter costs $4. The spritzers and the food are excellent!! Service very attentive!“

“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.“
