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

“***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.“

“highly recommend the Thistle inn for meal and drinks, lovely people, good chat, excellent service“

“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!!!“

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

“Friendly staff. Great location and service.“

“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.“

“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.“

“I had breakfast on the deck everyday of my trip! Service was friendly and great. The food was delicious and the atmosphere was a perfect was to start the day!“

“Spectacular doesn’t begin to describe our experience at Grey Havens Inn! From the moment we arrived, the magnificent harbor view beckoned us to sit in a big ol’ rocking chair on the Inn’s lovely porch, cocktail in hand & relax completely into the moment. Oh & sunsets? Outstanding! Our first moments at Grey Havens were so warm & welcoming. Actually even before arriving, calls with innkeepers, Ali & Carlos, had us beyond excited for our initial stay. I say initial because of course we definitely will return & soon I hope! I could list endlessly all the delightful elements that the Grey Havens team have combined to create a place in which one can truly & gloriously unwind. From the lovely & cozy guest rooms to the gorgeous bay-windowed common room (with its stunning actual bay-view) the vibe is marvelous. Grey Havens feels quintessentially seaside Maine with just the barest but perfect touch of some lovingly placed & demure whimsy to intrigue a curious eye. Our initial stay dates did not overlap with Blue’s calendar, sadly. However the many tales we heard of Chef Esau’s creations have us drooling in anticipation. We will ensure we enjoy a dinner at Blue upon our return to Grey Havens.“

“They had a lot of ice cream flavors. It was really good.“

“Just had one of the best meals- peach and goat cheese salad with blueberry vinaigrette dressing and bang bang shrimp. And the hostess gave me some dressing to take home! Thanks for a wonderful experience (as usual 😉) Kaler's.“

“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!!“

“Always great food and big portions! Wait staff is great too!“

“We had a great time camping at Boothbay Craft Brewery! Friday Brisket was a delicious meal.Staff and owners are friendly and helpful. Campsite was clean and quiet. We can’t wait to visit again!“

“Fabulous in all respects!“

“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.“

“This is the best restaurant breakfast we have had in some time (and we eat breakfast out often). The coffee is excellent, the biscuits as good as what I make at home and the eggs were done perfectly. We returned the next morning and had the French Toast stuffed with cream cheese and Maine wild blueberries and it also was excellent. The ambiance is pleasantly funky and the service is warm and efficient.“

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

“You can be promised a waterview and NOT get one. My windows face other structures.“

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