23 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“

“Graffam's is a great store. I ordered lobsters for a friend who lives in the South and had them shipped via UPS next day air. There was a problem with the package being transferred at one of the shipping locations and it prevented a timely delivery. Kim, of Graffam's, got on the phone and talked to UPS supervisors who were able to track the package and get the lobsters available for my friend to pick them up in rural Alabama. I was impressed with her resolve and determination to ensure the process went correctly. 5 stars!!“

“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. ?“

“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!!“

“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!!!“

“I got their specialty Fish Cake Benedict... or some name along those lines you just ask them for the wicked good Benedict and they will know what you me! Its exactly what I did and the exceptionally helpful waitress knew what I want and it did not disappoint. I got a half portion and homefries, the hollandaise sauce was phenomenal. Actually homemade and not the jelly goop I've gotten at less quality places! Prices for the food were below what I pay at most diners.“

“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 😋 🦞👩‍🍳🍝“

“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 .“

“This was the best place during our entire trip around New England.

The girl who served us was lovely. They lit the fireplace and seated us at the best table with a harbor view—we didn’t even ask for it.

Every dish was incredibly delicious, especially the fresh-caught scallops with tomatoes. The oysters were extremely fresh.

Overall, if you’re passing by, you should definitely stop in for dinner—European-style dishes, a unique menu, and absolutely delicious!“

“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!“

“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“

“A little worn out and I think everyone was ready to be closed for the season but lobster roll was pretty good. Definitely local spot, I wish it had more meat but it was our first lobster roll in Maine so we’ll see how it compares. Mushrooms needed more seasoning.“

“What a phenomenal dinner with family. Visited from far away, but I am thankful we ended up here. 1st, Chris was a fantastic host at the bar before we moved to our table. Addison took over and took great care of us. Portions were ample & everyone sated and happy. Highly recommend for the foodie and non-foodie alike. All can find happiness and be well taken care of at the same time.“

“Absolutely exquisite food. Everything we had was interesting, unusual and utterly delicious. World class dining in a low-key setting. Cannot recommend highly enough.“

“Great food. Had dock tacos were exceptional. Big pieces of broiled had dock and vegetables cut properly topped with crema. The poutine was addictive, and big enough for two. Will definitely go back and try the rest of their menu“

“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. 🇵🇦“

“Happy hour at Hartstone Inn was amazing with Tiffany. I enjoyed the Gin Kiss and Elderflower Cosmo.“

“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!!!“

“We had an amazing experience here after hiking the beautiful trails in Camden! John was our server and very accommodating, helpful, and kind to us and our pup. We had the lobster roll and chili, and they were great with gluten free and dairy free accommodations. Would highly recommend and plan on returning next time I visit!“
