“THANK YOU @ Farm 23 Boothbay Harbor for amazingly DELIVERING my order ON Christmas Eve!

After the beautiful charismas snow we received, I knew I wasn’t going to make it for pick up by noon. I called asking if they’d bag it and leave it on their steps, but no…. Instead they were happy to deliver it (an option that had not crossed my mind)! Thank you Josh & Laura! I hope you had a fabulous Christmas! 🎄”

“We had the best experience at the bar with AK. He was fantastic- super friendly, gave great food suggestions that turned out amazing! Would go back again and again!!”

“The wait was an hour. But it was well WORTH the time. They don’t measure or weigh the lobster. They just load it up. I had leftovers. I have a healthy appetite but I couldn’t finish it all. I opted to not even eat the majority of the roll. It was tasty with the awesome warm butter that is served with it. This was my first visit but not my last. Awesome hard working folks.”

“Was in the area for the Botanical Gardens, our group made a reservation and was greeted promptly and was taken to our reserved table with a water view. The food was amazing, everything was cooked perfectly, best seafood we have had in a very long time! We met the owner who came to our table and asked how our dinner was and he recommended local events going on this weekend. Would highly recommend McSeaulls, we will definitely be back:)”

“what a great day spent golfing and eating ice cream.”
