“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 💯“

“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.“

“🤓The only item I found very disappointing were the clam cakes. They were over cooked and really thin making them tough. No taste at all“

“We just left there after having the fried whole belly clams. Absolutely delicious! It’s the cutest place to hang out and have some great seafood. The staff is friendly too! We had gone to another(big)place in the area the night before and we were very disappointed . Luckily we found the Salty Bay! today! I love the seating out back with the beautiful view and the Tavern on site where they serve drinks is great. Nice set up! We’ll be back!“

“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!“

“Today, I enjoyed lunch with an old friend at Luke's Lobster, situated at the end of Portland Pier on the waterfront. Should you find yourself in Portland, I suggest visiting them; you will not be disappointed.“

“Upon landing in Portland, we were greeted by a Nor'easter, but our determination to savor a superior lobster roll remained unwavering. Highroller Lobster Co. exceeded our expectations, serving a delectable lobster roll accompanied by sublime old Bay seasoned fries and an extraordinary whoopie pie. Although we were unable to finish our meal, we gave it our best effort. The staff was extremely welcoming and knowledgeable.“

“As soon as you walk in the ambiance feels inviting and not overbearing for a popular restaurant in a central location. The service is attentive and genuine in wanting to create a well-rounded experience for the guests. I felt guided through the menu and confident in choosing the best items for my group and I. As for the food, spectacular. They've perfect the classics, simple goes a long way when you know how to create the perfect flavor profiles. Definitely end with something sweet as it helps balance out the palate before heading back into the real world. 10/10 will be back.“

“Truly excellent paella and pleasant 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“

“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“

“Great Lookout and to grab lunch. We had already eaten prior so didn't get food but it smelled delicious.

My only complaint is if you are trying to relax and enjoy lunch you will constantly hear the employees yelling the numbers of order meals.

#15 your order has been ready please go get it! Tired of hearing your number, ready to be 15 myself.“

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

“The ambiance and the food were amazing. The service could have been better, but I recognize they were slammed on a Saturday night. We had a reservation and still had to wait 25min for our table, however, there is a very nice full service bar/lounge area to wait so it wasn't a deal breaker. The food was incredible and by far one of the best meals we've had in a while. Will definitely be back.“

“a fantastic time was had by all. Thank you Steve for the swag.“

“10/10. Beautiful location with an amazing menu. My 5 year old rates the clam chowder “1000 and some numbers out of ten”. Definitely recommend!“

Went for a NYE fixed menu, sitting at the bar. Dishes were beautiful, service skilled and kind, and the owner we met (Kim) was lovely. Drinks were balanced and beautiful.

I loved everything about this place.“

No!! there was none! anyways .was charged for whole belly basket and that was that..will be trying other places next time .“

“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“

“Loved this place! We went to the island to wander a bit and enjoy the sunset the week after Labor Day. It was windy and we were the only people on the patio as the sun went down before we went back in and sat at the bar. Sam was warm and welcoming, and answered all of our questions about life on the island as if we were friends, chatting over drinks.
The food was delicious! Unexpected Korean influenced dishes, really great.“

“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.“

“We first ended up here as a late night stop to listen to Thursday live music. The next day we also had lunch and drinks. Both experiences were pleasant and the staff is friendly.“

“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!“

“Well reviewing Rick’s isn’t going to be easy. We do stop there to pick up fried dough and sit on the benches right across from Rick’s and people watch the fried dough is very good, the people that take your walk up order are pleasant. What more can you say , it’s a carnival atmosphere.“

“Great ambiance for our group aged 14-75. The food is incredible with complimentary flavors. It has a neighborhood dinning feel with high end quality food. The staff RC and CT were very friendly, knowledgeable, inviting, not rushing of patrons, and a real joy and pleasure to speak with. I'd definitely recommend for any occasion or like us, no celebratory occasion at all. Great find for dining near where we were staying.“

“Order food and non-alcoholic drinks at the counter and have a seat. The server will be around to pick up your ticket.

Server brought our beverages quickly and the food arrived piping hot and fresh. We were told it may be a long wait (slightly busy) but it was like 5-10 minutes tops.

The Food: Warm lobster roll with melted butter, sweet potato fries and a side of slaw and a cup of the most delicious lobster bisque!! We shared and it was the perfect amount. Clean plate award!! We weren’t overly starving so sharing was perfect. About $55 for our meal. While that may be pricey to some, I mean… it’s fresh caught lobster. And we shared and it was the perfect amount for our hunger level.

Overall, it was great. The food was top notch. If you’re looking for fine dining, this isn’t it. But, the food was awesome. I love supporting family owned businesses. Definitely would recommend.“
