“When visiting Maine two years ago, my husband and I were looking for gluten free restaurants, which can be quite the chore. After reading the reviews for Shannon's, we drove to Boothbay and couldn't believe all the gluten free options. We ordered more food than we needed because there were so many options. Everything was fresh and delicious. Seriously, gluten free onion rings! During that trip, we ate there twice and twice again the next year. We are looking forward to next year's trip and more Shannon's food. In addition to the food, the staff are warm, welcoming and friendly and make you feel like a neighbor instead of a tourist. We are huge Shannon's Unshelled fans!”

“We went to the Salty Stag for a casual lunch and the view was beautiful. Our server Jana (dp?) was helpful and attentive in spite of serving customers outdoors on the patio along with us being indoors. Our meals were very delicious with generous portions. In particular was the amount of lobster in the Lobster Mac and Cheese! So good and too much for one person. ( We ended up taking a huge portion home .) I also recommend the SPI Cooler for a nonalcoholic refreshingly yummy beverage! It's made with 4 different fruits and really hit the spot on a summer day! Finally, we decided to get desserts to go since we were full but wanted something sweet to have later. We got two of the decadent chocolate flourless tortes. They were packed perfectly so when we ate them later they looked as nice as if we had eaten them at Spruce Point! Thanks to this lovely experience we now look forward to returning for a dinner at their upscale Whiteclover dining room! I hope to have the Lobster Thermidor !!!”

“Harborside 1901 is where craft and comfort meet the shoreline. 🍸✨ The modern mixology is nothing short of inspired — each glass a little journey of flavor and artistry. The staff welcome you not just as guests but as friends, creating an atmosphere that’s relaxed, fun, and wonderfully interactive. Plates arrive as both nourishment and celebration, with food that delights at every bite. And the finale — world-class pastries and desserts — lingers like a sweet memory you’ll want to return to again and again. (We sure did!!)A true gem where culinary creativity and heartfelt hospitality shine. 🌊🍷🍰”

“Good food, great steamers. But the bees wow. I literally bought a soda just to try to deter the lovely 5 we had away from our table. Didn’t really work, so we ate in the car. Idk what they can do about that situation, but yeah. Can’t really enjoy it and I wanted to”

“My husband and I stopped in here on a whim while celebrating our 15 year wedding anniversary and we were so happy we did. We ordered pumpkin spice lattes- which have REAL pumpkin- a strawberry and cheese danish, a garlic twist, 2 blurry scones and a brownie with vanilla cream cheese frosting decorated so beautifully with violets. Everything was perfect and delicious. Like crazy delicious. Gourmet and priced fairly. The staff working today were both very friendly, patient and good at their jobs. I wish we had more time to explore the shop and order more things to bring home with us, but we had an hour and 45 minute drive home and were in a hurry. We will definitely be back though!”

“We just tried Vera Idyllic Pizza for the first time and we were impressed. We tried both pizza and calzone - both were excellent. The pizza dough was tasty and well cooked. The red sauce had good flavor and there was none of the ugly garlic powder or sugary flavor that you sometimes get on pizzas at other locations. This was a cash only place when we visited.”
