“Cozy's is really a wonderful place for lunch. The setting on a small cove looking out towards the ocean is just splendid. The food is delicious. Will definitely visit again.”

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

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

“In my opinion this was the best meal we have had on our trip so far. Service was great, food was outstanding, and the wine was a great sip I'd never had before. If you like Italian food this is a must.”

“***update: I am editing my review a few weeks later- I should have done so sooner! The restaurant manager called my husband to apologize for our experience. They sent us a gift card in the mail so we can give them another chance. The customer service is greatly appreciated!! We look forwarding to coming back to use the gift card and give the restaurant another shot.***

Really disappointed in our experience at the Monstweag this afternoon on Mother’s Day. We made a reservation for 3pm. We left at 4:38 and our appetizer hadn’t even been started yet. We spoke to the waitress and after learning our app hadn’t been started, we requested the bill and left. We were told it would still be an hour before we got our appetizer and we had three very young extremely hungry children. The server was apologetic but we were not offered a concession, discount or anything (we had ordered 6 drinks at this point) for the extraordinarily long wait and lack of communication about it. I don’t normally expect anything like this but I was frankly blown away at the lack of communication or accommodation considering the circumstances - on Mother’s Day nonetheless! We’ve been to Monstweag several times in the past and always had a good experience. This was out of character for this restaurant and really disappointing. We left deciding where to try to get a pizza to try to get some food in the kids, knowing it would be too late to get a reservation anywhere else on Mother’s Day. I debated whether to write a review but I do think after an experience like this management should receive honest constructive feedback. It was a disappointing experience to say the least.”

“The vibe here is welcoming, real, and genuine. The food and drinks are top notch along with the service. And it all begins with the owners, Zoli and Sarah, who are kind and honest as the day is long. We can’t speak highly enough of them, their crew and this establishment. We will come by every time we are in the area.”

“Great sandwiches! You won’t be disappointed with this shop. We ordered the Harvest Turkey and Pit Boss.”

“The midcoast is a bit of a pizza desert. Look no further to finally get satiated. To quote Leia: “Help me, Vera; you're my only hope.”

Crust is top tier, roni cupped perfectly. No complaints!”

“This bakery was recommended by the Resort staff and sure did not disappoint. The coffee was delish and the handmade donuts were amazing. Will be making a day trip back to Boothbay just to go here.”

“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. 🌊🍷🍰”

“Excellent Maine lobsters at an affordable price in an amazing setting in the harbor.”

“A local bartender recommended this coffee shop for a quick breakfast and it did not disappoint. Had a delicious pistachio latte and a maple snail, arguably the best pastry I’ve ever had. Wish I lived closer so I could stop by regularly!”

“The Best coffee in Boothbay. A consistant great cup of coffee every time.”

“Only giving this a location rating of 3 because it was 40 minutes from the main road.. we stayed here for 2 nights and to go explorer from this location was a drive just to see anything .. we went to bay harbor one day then booth bay the next ans the drives back were hard.. but super cute place, restaurant was delicious and staff was super friendly !”

“You can't beat the view here. Our waitress was nice. The food was just so so. Lobster gumbo was decent. The crab cakes were ok. The brussel sprouts appy was not good - deep fried / oily and very salty.”
