“Lobster, clam, corn, potatoes are so good. Beautiful sights!“

If you all want an exceptional meal go to the Boathouse...you won't be disappointed! The place isn't fancy..boaty decor...who cares....the food makes up for it!“

“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“

“This place is the bomb! Tucked into a small lot in the middle of town, this place has limited hours and only three items on the menu: Haddock Sandwich, Haddock in a Bowl and French Fries. All of it is superb.
The haddock is fried and about as fresh as it could be. You have a choice of tartare sauce and lemon dill sauce. Ask for both. We didn't have the fries, and it's a good thing because we were stuffed just from the sandwiches. The servings are massive! There was about a half pound plus of haddock on each sandwich.
Next time I think we'll split a bowl and some fries (which also looked like a huge portion), and call it good.
The staff is friendly and speedy - guess you have to be if you're only open 3 hours a day.
It doesn't get any better than this!“

“The food is excellent at a fair price! The menu has a lot of good options.“

“The best place to eat in Round Pond! Great service, food and atmosphere. Thanks for another great meal!“

“Awesome food and gorgeous setting!!!“

“We had breakfast there today. Everything about the experience was wonderful. Prices are the best around, and portions are large. The blueberry pancakes are thick and fluffy and as big as a dinner plate! The view of the water was beautiful.“

“Fish, Fish, Fish, Fish, Lobster too!“

“Had a great lunch! Drinks were tasty and even though it was busy we got great service!“

“They always have some of the best fried food around, especially the onion rings!!!
The scallops portion seemed a little small at first, but the cook noticed the same and brought out a few more, which made me feel they cared about their food and customers. I stop here every year after Monkey C, and you should too!
The crab roll is also good 👍“

“Lovely location, lovely people……..and the sun’s out!! 😍“

“A beautiful wharf but the food was okay. We spent more money on a lobster roll than I would’ve liked. I ended up getting the lobster stew and it was tasty but nothing special. The lobster roll however did have a ton of meat on it but they didn’t give you the option for butter or mayo like most other places we’ve been to in Maine. Definitely worth it for the view and a nice outside deck.“

“Kind staff and good food and views“

“Vacationing in Boothbay, and at the top of our favorite restaurants is Ports of Italy, this place is not to be missed if you love Italian cuisine. Very popular with the locals and the tourists, be smart and make a reservation, especially over the weekend so you will not be disappointed. They are open 7 days a week 4:30-8:00. We had an early reservation and was taken to our table and immediately approached by our waiter, given water, he told us the specials and gave us time to look over the menu. We received a paper bag of warm, delicious rustic bread and olive oil dipping sauce, so good. After ordering, our food arrived in a timely fashion right from the kitchen. I ordered the veal ravioli in a mushroom cream sauce, let me tell you my choice was just delicious and very rich and filling. Husband ordered Osso Buco sitting on top of a rich broth and risotto, what a great presentation and my husband enjoyed it tremendously! Our waiter was very attentive to us and good at his job. The busboys were so nice and took good care of our needs. This place is a cut above the rest and they are popular and have a cult following!! Highly recommend coming here, a little pricey but so worth the experience. Bob and Debbie/ Mich“

“Our first time although we have heard about all the amazingness of Red’s. We cannot rave about this place enough. The owner Debbie is so personable & kind with a huge smile that is contagious! Chef Shannon is a perfect pair to Debbie. Everything on this menu is fresh daily, dips & sauces made on the premises & you won’t find a lobster roll like you will get at Red’s. It’s a true family based establishment 🦞Together this is a MUST visit. There is a continual line & often a wait but it is worth every second in line.“

“By far our favorite restaurant in the Midcoast area. Always delicious food and great service. If you need gluten free options this is the place.“

“I almost overlooked this place and I'm SO glad I didn't! We had the Brandy Lobster, Calamari, Seared Scallops, and Steak Tips. Every single dish was perfectly cooked and seasoned beautifully. The waiter was kind and attentive, and the cozy atmosphere was perfect for a chilly, rainy day. I would absolutely come back to try some of the other dishes!“

“It is a classic must stop for seafood on the harbor and make sure to snap a photo with Captain Brown before you leave.“

“I can’t straight post .. so I will leave this here…. I am a Paramedic with Boothbay Region Ambulance Service… THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH for lunch this past Wednesday!! It was amazing!!“

“Had a late lunch here today. The food and service were excellent. Danny did a great job. Kitchen cooked the rib eye perfectly. The pan seared scallops over risotto was also excellent. We will definitely visit again.“

“Lovely location, lovely people……..and the sun’s out!! 😍“

“Coastal Prime was my choice for a birthday dinner, and it did not disappoint! Martinis were very well-made, wine choices plentiful, and appetizers and dinner were delicious. Service was excellent. My only complaint is that the music choice was incongruent with the atmosphere.“

“This is one of our favorite spots. We go back every trip. The view is A+. Nothing compares to sitting out on the deck, watching the boats while enjoying a drink.

The food is always great. The clam chowder is one of the bests on BBH. The bang bang shrimp and the Caesar with blackened haddock. Everything is fresh and consistently delicious.

What makes it even better is the people. Chloe, Katy and Lily are the BEST and make you feel right at home every single time. They’re a huge part of why we keep coming back.

We love Linekin!!!“

“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!“

“My wife and I were at the lounge the last 2 nights. Great atmosphere, the bartender was extremely friendly. It was our second trip to Boothbay/Sunset Lounge. Or previous experience was the same. Great place to visit, the Harbor Inn is away from the restaurants, shops and bars, but it is only a footbridge away.

Parking: Stay at the harbor inn, you won't drive again until you are ready to leave. Everything is within walking distance.“

“It’s cozy and the food is really good!“

“Classic Maine!! Great location and wonderful food and service!“
