New American Restaurants near Southport, ME

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

“Our group of six enjoyed most of the food. Unfortunately a very loud group of 6 REALLY enjoying their alcohol seated nearby made the atmosphere of the restaurant with a talented musician unpleasant. We moved outside to the deck and that was much more pleasant even though the table for four was crowded. My salad came with sliced oranges with the peel attached (curious) but once I removed the peel it was delicious. My husband’s Caesar salad was outstanding. We shared Tikka Masala and the chef kindly served it in two portions. Those who got the double burger were very satisfied. Unfortunately the scallop main dish was the size of an appetizer and lacked a generous side ($33). We enjoyed the waiter and waitress who were very attentive. We will be back, hoping to avoid rude people who act as if they are dining at home.“

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

“This was our last night in town and Francee made it memorable and wonderful. She offered drink and menu insight and had a smile on her face all night. The outdoor view area was beautiful and the entire staff was great. Perfect pacing….We could sit and relax, but not feel like we were being ignored. Thank you Francee for everything and making our evening special. We will definitely come back to Coastal Prime when we return to this area in the future.“

“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!!“

“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.“

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

“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!“

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

“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!!!“

“Friendly staff. Great location and service.“

“The server Wed night was exceptional. And dinner was super!
Thursday night the servers seemed stressed ad fighting for who had our table - our dinner order got taken twice, ad when we told the First server Another had come and taken our order again, well...
Hopefully they worked it out.

The Oysters were top notch clean, fresh!
The Crabcakes, absolutely delicious.
The Grilled Vegetable Sandwich was satisfying and so very tasty, and the salty stag Asian Salmon is our fave meal in town!“

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

“The White Clover's warm decor, white table cloths and wall to wall to wall windows granting harbor views, created that atmosphere for a magnificent date night. Nakita was personable, and immediately made you feel that you had her full attention. We started with a specialty cocktails. The Pink vesper was a fun and light. We had lamb chops and beet salad for appetizers. Both were perfectly prepared with the appetizer lamb chops being more than enough to share. The golden beets were such a treat! Mid course of asparagus with feta that was whipped and provided a wonderful pairing. For the main, We had the lobster and halibut succoatash and the lamb shank. Again Chef Kyle outdid himself. Every bite was better than the next. Lastly we shared the key lime tart and then rolled ourselves out of the restaurant! This is not to be missed!“
