Food & drinks: Blueberry pie was amazing.“

“This restaurant, tucked into the Spruce Point Inn, was very good. Service was outstanding and the ambience was nice, though there was a strong musty smell to the room, probably from the thick carpet. The prices were higher than we usually pay but the food was worth the extra treat.“

“I had the pleasure of photographing a wedding at The Carriage House this fall and WOW, it was such a great experience. The ambiance is fun and down to earth. Definitely not a stuffy, boring coastal restaurant. This place has plenty of character! If you want a unique venue that will still provide you with a professional, efficient, and friendly experience you can't go wrong with The Carriage House.“

“We were scheduled for a schooner ride and had a late lunch here. The schooner cruise was cancelled due to fog but our experience at the restaurant was so pleasant that we didn't mind. The food and drink was very good and our waiter, Andre, was attentive without being intrusive and made our experience quite pleasant. This place is quite close to Boothbay Harbor but not nearly as crowded. We will be back!“

“The food is great and staff very friendly. We visit the area yearly and this is my favorite place to go for breakfast. Fresh baked goods are so good, amazing views outside. Yes it gets busy but it's a great place to go and if it feels crowded give it a minute. Service is very quick and once everyone is seated it's just an amazing location.“

“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“

“You have to check out the Anchor! The food is excellent! We had the calamari as an appetizer: delicious! The dipping sauce was a bit sweet for me (I like spicy) but delicious nonetheless. Baked Haddock is awesome! Really fresh and served on top of creamy polenta cakes! Yummy! Excellent wine list! Views to die for! You must check it out!“

“Delicious, affordable, deck seating, friendly staff! Loved the homemade veggie burger.“

“Well worth the 14 hr drive! We enjoyed it. I have had multiple lobster Rolls in Maine. This was by far the best one I’ve had!!!“

“Perfect Night for a Family Dinner on the Deck at McSeagulls last night. The Grilled Salmon Special was delicious! The Ginger Soy Glaze was an excellent compliment to the salmon. Amanda, our waitress, couldn't have been nicer. It truly was an awesome way to end my brother-in-law's trip who happened to be visiting from Australia. Thank You, McSeagulls, for being the one of his top highlights of his trip to the States.“

“If you want healthy good food this is your place. Had an amazingly delicious breakfast with the family and all happy bellies after and good before our cruise. The banana pancakes are delicious with real banana slices you can feel and taste in it with chunks of bananas baked within the bread to enjoy the savory taste of banana in each bite. The corned beef hash was melt in your mouth soft and easy to chew moist and delicious with flavor w good peppers. Only thing that threw me off was large chunks of potatoes because I'm used to hashed potatoes being thinly sliced like from a cheese grator but thick thin slices more easily eaten and easier to get the perfect crisp. My husband enjoyed his poached eggs and the organic coffee and fresh squeezed orange juice with peel next store while pricey but worth the delicousness. If in the area ever again I would come back for the food. However it is a tiny crammed place like sitting next to strangers moving in and out to get out and long waits to get in but its worth it. Server was super nice and friendly but clearly understaffed and felt bad for her. She shone with patience.

Atmosphere is less due to wait, lack of space, and hard to get parking but is completely out of their power so cant complain about something out of their control.

Location: This is on a main tourist part of area so parrel side street parking us limited 2 hours free if can find a spot or have to pay for a parking spot. It is a very hard place to find a long term parking spot in August mid week during work hours.

Lots of shopping and places to eat nearby and the beautiful harbor views

Parking: Parallel parking free 2 hour on side if lucky to grab or pay for long term parking. There is no parking lot here.“

“Been here many times over the years and never disappoints. Parking is a bit frustrating but once that is solved, it's all good. Food is cooked perfectly and good selection of drinks available. Sit inside or on the deck overlooking the water.“
