50 Best Seafood Restaurants near Scarborough

“Blue ocean seafood and steak has my heart. First of all I’ve been here multiple times and left satisfied every time. ❤️ I saw their post with the chicken and waffles and then I went to get it because it looked so good and then they happened to have one extra that they gave to me for free with chicken nuggets which was ONO! Then Mahina gave me the fried chicken one I asked for original for lunch to-go, also for free.🥹 Ralisa is authentic, you can tell, which I actually appreciate. You cannot ask for malama pono lidat’ anywhere else you guys. Check em’ 🤙🏽 Guaranteed Aloha 💯“

“Food is fantastic, and the staff is very kind and accommodating!“

“A short, pleasant walk to beautiful Higgins Beach. Awesome, friendly staff. Hiply decorated with art on the walls and beach-themed pretty rooms. The bar is relaxing and fun and the restaurant food is excellent. We will definitely be back. Highly recommend.“

“Haddock chowder is the best I have ever had. Enjoyed the fisherman’s platter on our visit. Tonight we enjoyed the haddock chowder with a haddock box and shrimp box. All of it was delicious.“

“Delicious whole belly fried clams!!“

“Tried it for the first time. We loved the food for the most part. The boneless ribs had more fat than meat. This could have been just a bad batch the was received in delivery to the store. Over all this place is recommended.“

“We had such a delicious meal at Scales! Everything was presented beautifully and tasted excellent. Service was on-point and the atmosphere is super chic. I would recommend this restaurant to everyone in the Portland area!“

“We highly enjoyed our visit to the area and Eventide! Food was great - oysters and lobster roll were amazing, great atmosphere, and employee serving oysters gave us good info on area. We will definitely make another visit to Eventide from Austin, TX!“

“We totally enjoyed our first visit to Luke’s. There were 4 of us. The service was quick, the food was delicious, the vibe was somewhat key west and the staff were so great!! Definitely returning. Thank you“

“This is my favorite restaurant. My favorite meal here is the clams & linguine. I have been obsessed with clams & linguine for decades and have had it a ridiculous number of times, all over the world, including at least 20 times in Italy. And Street & Co makes it the absolute best, by far. It goes beyond my ability to articulate its amazingness but I will say it's for garlic LOVERS. Service at Street & Co is also extraordinary. The only reason I give it 4 instead of 5 stars is it's open today (during the ICE shutdown) and not donating money to causes supporting immigrants! You basically get to choose one or the other to not be an awful company.. and yet here we are. So disappointed :(“

“I always enjoy stopping in when I’m in the Portland area! Only place with other options besides the ol run of the mill lobster with butter or mayo. Delicious!“

“Nice palce and wonderful service.“

“everytime I come to Portland I try new restaurants and this place definitely is one of my favorites so far! great on a cold day“

“Go elsewhere. Way overpriced for food that is not good. The service is subpar and look up past Health violations and other violations.“

“Beautiful bar and amazing food! Great fried fish and soft serve“

“The best seafood I have ever had. Fresh! Hand breaded! Delicious! 🦞🍤🦀“

“Had a chance to visit the Dry Dock recently as they were one of the opening venues hosting for Santacon! So much fun... they had the upstairs decorated and some great and friendly staff there serving up some lovely wines and beer too! So much fun .. we even ordered some baked stuffed potato skins... they were delicious! Our whole crew had a great time... hope they are hosting again next year! We will be back for sure as they are located right by the water on commercial street, so close to everything and all the shops in town. If you haven't been, get there and check it out :)“

“If you haven’t had the Boone’s fish house oyster room experience your missing out on some delicious food, great cocktails and fabulous beer choices. The atmosphere is such a great vibe with ocean views from their decks in the warmer weather to dine on, they have two bars to choose from I love the second floor one a nice open space with plenty of room to sit and have a drink and good conversation without the back ground noise from other tables. They have a beautiful setting to host your events with friendly knowledgeable staff to make it a personal experience for your needs.“

“Everything was top notch and the staff was exceptionally friendly.“

“Had a drink and oysters during happy hour and it was a great experience. Bartender Andy was so friendly and polite and gave some great recommendations for local spots to visit. Would definitely come regularly if I was a local.“

“Great cocktails, food, and atmosphere! We will be back!“

“We dined with dear friends as a group of four and Mr Dimillo was so gracious to help us reserve a perfect table for some of Portland Maine's best consistant cuisine. With Frankie as our food and drink guide we were taken care of with all the perfect timing and grace that could be expected in any top restaurant. We appreciate him and his whole DiMillo's Team..scallops, salmon, and other yum yums were all on point! Thank you Dimillos...another superb experience!!“

“We traveled from Memphis to Maine and tried out several different highly recommended lobster roll spots. None could compare to Bite Into Maine, soooo good. The next time im in Maine I will def be coming back“

“Got super lucky and was able to get a table on walk-in! (Was 7:30pm on a Saturday). Most delicious food ever. All fresh! Farm to table! so cool you can see the chefs making it right from practically the farm and delivered right to your table! Sourdough bread was a delicious and delightful complementary course- baked right downstairs! I got the spinach & feta pie (10/10) and my mom got the braised chicken (10/10). Such good quality food. To top off the night we got a crème brûlée and scoop of malted cider ice cream. HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS PLACE!“

“terrible food. soggy and cold. nothing fresh about their seafood. you can't even get ice with your drink because they're brain washed libtards. stay away unless you hate America, you'll fit right in.“

“Great experience. Friendly staff, great food. First time we’ve found blue crab since moving up here from Maryland in 2018. We left full and happy. And the value for the money, ya it’s definitely worth every penny. We’ll be back“

“My three friends and I loved this experience. The creative food was tasty and filling. We were full with three small plates especially since the fried chicken (not what you would expect) was a substantial portion. The waiter was very helpful, and helped me with my choice of orange (yes) wine from a local vineyard. $55 a head with for drinks and yummy bread. Definitely recommend it..“

“We had an amazing experience on the Lucky Catch Lobstering Cruise in Portland, Maine! The crew made everything so fun and educational. We got hands on experience checking lobster traps, baiting them, and learning all about lobsters and the local lobster industry. The boat itself was comfortable and offered great views of the harbor, and the crew was friendly, knowledgeable, and full of interesting stories. This cruise is perfect for anyone who wants a true Maine lobstering experience, highly recommend getting out on the water with Lucky Catch!“

“We stopped by on our way back to New Hampshire from Bailey’s Island, pleasant find after driving through Portland. The staff was very friendly and accommodating, we were able to dine outside on a sunny afternoon. I had the 3-lobster dinner, my wife had the broiled clams and haddock. Super delicious ! Eve was awesome! Highly recommend!💝😉😋“

“A must go to when visiting the island . I go there from time to time just for the view out back and grab an app. Beautifully placed and the food is great and service is super friendly and quick . One of my fav places . Watch the sunset out back on the deck :) ♥️“

“I come specifically to Old Orchard Beach every year just to eat at The Bell Buoy. They serve the best seafood and are very closely located to the pier and beach. You can’t go wrong with anything on the menu, but the lobster is a huge selling point. Friendly staff, great food, good service, and a mere walking distance from many of the other attractions. I cannot recommend this place enough, and hope it remains open forever.“

“always enjoy our oysters & lobster rolls at J's. we've been coming here for over 20 years. great ppl watching too!“

“My Experience with the Porthole The Service was great and quick, but I had taken a picture of the haddock sandwich before I started eating and you can visibly see a hair coming out of the sandwich, and I know it wasn't mine because it was in between the fish and the roll.“

“My girlfriend and I had a wonderful dinner on 2-15. We sat at the end of the sushi bar- it was a little tight when it got busy, but it’s definitely the best sushi place we’ve been to. Our server Chad was awesome and made us feel very welcome. I told a few friends and decided to write a review“

“Absolutely the best! Known them for years!“

“ordered the whole clam belly basket today...was no bellies. actually looked lime mixture of calamari rings and very thin strips of clams..asked waitresses if I was given clam strips buy mistake she went to ask someone became back and said the calm bellies were just small...ummm... No!! there was none! anyways .was charged for whole belly basket and that was that..will be trying other places next time .“

“Excellent food . The kindest and most helpful staff. Best new contribution to Knightsville. YES ALL THE WAY….. .“

“We've eaten at Rick's numerous times over the past 3 years and we've had delicious, fresh, haddock, scallops and clams every time!! The reason the atmosphere is a 5 star is because it's great to walk along the pier, grab food from Rick's, and then sit on the tables or benches along the center of the pier area. The fried food is cooked to perfection with a nice light colored batter suggesting they change their oil often. We recommend Rick's.“

“Our lobster rolls were fresh and delicious, and the service was great! The lady cooking was super nice and friendly. We’ll be back next year!“

“Best homemade clam cakes around!“

“Amazing food, drinks and service, a true gem!!“

“What an amazing experience. We would definitely recommend and will be back soon!“

“We have been occasional diners since Leluco opened, and it’s always been a lovely treat. This year we also decided to trust them with our Thanksgiving meal, and they did not disappoint! Our 1.5 turkeys were amazingly prepared, lovingly packed, and easy to reheat. Our friends and I are not sure if we’ve ever had a more delicious bird. Thank you, thank you for being a part of our Thanksgiving celebration. We are so glad you’re in our community ❤️“

“Walked into the Portland location at 7:57 on a Saturday when they close at 8:00 and they graciously served me, even though it was clear they had finished cleaning up for the night. I am a regular at the Scarborough commissary throughout the summer and this was my first time visiting the Portland location. The staff all said hello to me with a smile and conversation and had no problem packing a few rolls for me to go! Great staff and always consistent food!“

“Wonderful service and excellent food!“

“Came here after visiting Portland Headlight in Cape Elizabeth. Many options to choose from and they were delicious! My girls ordered three different kinds of pad Thai.“

“Small, intimate Bistro. Italian influence. Friendly bar, delicious food.“

“Our Garden Suite was awesome! Super comfortable and well appointed, awesome soaking tub, the nicest robes, great views and quick walk to the beach. Loved how dog friendly it is. Dog bowls, dog blanket, dog towel, ball, poopie bags and a giant biscuit greeted our pup. Dogs are even allowed in the tavern. Hot chocolate and cookies in the lobby at night. Chocolates in the room. Free use of the steam room and experience shower in the spa for guests. Staff is great! That’s just to name a few things that makes the Inn by the Sea great! We can’t wait to go back!“
