The Pub at Newagen Seaside Inn

The Pub did a terrific job of handling our party of 15! We were promptly seated in a smallish dining room, with a very pleasant view. The waitstaff were prompt and courteous, and managed to keep all of us straight. The menu had choices for everyone, good for the vegetarians and non-seafood eaters in our group, and it was all delicious. I have only 2 complaints: first, that the signage for both The Pub and appropriate parking was not wildly easy to find, and second, I found the noise level somewhat difficult. While I realize that the restaurant does not have complete control over that, being seated right in front of the musical entertainment made conversation around our party difficult. Don't get me wrong, I really enjoyed the music (and did request a song even), but it was hard to compete.

Stopped in for an adult beverage on a Friday afternoon. Bartender (male) was unfriendly, did not interact at all (we were the only 2 people at the bar and just 1 table of 4 ladies eating late lunch) and clearly could have cared less about his job or customers.

Very good food. Scenic views. Noisy environment. Service friendly and helpful, but confusing. Several servers helping us, but not in coordinated way.

What a lovely experience at this restaurant. The food was incredible. Best staff ever! Shout out to Elroy who created his own options for possible upcoming bride and groom signature wedding cocktails. Very talented and thoughtful! All bar staff should be commended for their service.
The food tasting for our upcoming wedding on property was spectacular! Shout out to Tiffany and Maura for a beautiful experience!
See you in a month. Can’t wait to come back. Thank you for a wonderful few days.

Best place to eat in Southport hands down. Always get the lobster roll and a cup of clam chowder. It is the best lobster roll in Maine! The views are incredible and always talk a walk down by the water. Always a must when in town. Never has been overly crowded so service is always fast when we go in.

We went over by boat for lunch. Newagen Harbor is a bit tricky to navigate, but we had the dock to ourselves. Lunch was great. Service was great too. Dog friendly on the outside deck where we ate. A great afternoon outing at a beautiful spot.

My husband and I had a very good dinner at the Pub at Newagen yesterday. We shared the burrata appetizer, the filet entre, and a cheesecake. While the filet was good, it was not fantastic. The burrata and cheesecake were also good. Our server, Tian, was excellent. He was attentive and helpful, but not overly intrusive. Overall, a pleasant experience with great service.

A beautiful peaceful place to visit with excellent food and service.

My husband and I ate at the Newagen Inn last Thursday night and we were underwhelmed with the overall experience. This pub is located inside a hotel that is on the water in Southport, and it has beautiful views of the surrounding area. We had made a reservation ahead of time, and when we arrived were given a seat right next to the service station/bar. We asked if it would be possible to move to another location (there were several other open tables) but we were told they were all taken. (Note: most of these tables did not become occupied during our visit). Like many restaurants we visited during our vacation in Maine, it seemed the pub was short staffed, but our biggest concern was really the lack of warmth or attentiveness of the staff. The staff took our orders, delivered the food but there was no personality at all! We would have received the same level of service if we ordered from a kiosk. Once a course was delivered to our table, the serve never asked how it was, or checked in to see if anything else was needed. When the next course arrived, not all of the dishes were cleared off the table from the previous course. My husband had the shrimp cacio e pepe dish, which was delicious. I ordered the hot lobster roll with butter, and was sort of underwhelmed. It was not a huge portion of lobster, and the homemade potato chips were overcooked and hard. For dessert we ordered the sticky toffee pudding and initially the wrong dessert was delivered. Eventually we got the right dessert but it barely resembled other sticky toffee puddings I've had, and it was wayyyyy too sweet and we couldn't finish it. While we were there a woman set up to play the guitar and sing in the lounge area. She had a nice voice, but the whole time she was playing she was looking at her iPad screen, and never once acknowledged the people in the restaurant or tried to "connect", and it was a bit too loud to be able to have conversation while she played. I really wanted to love this restaurant but in the end was disappointed.

As summer residents who visit the Inn for dinner at least once a year, my wife and I were somewhat surprised by some of the recent negative reviews. As we have in the past, throughly enjoyed the outside deck and gourmet meal prepared beautifully. Take advantage of the outside deck and the spectacular view. Rohan our server from Antigua was a pleasure. My wife and I shared a Calamari to start and it was very large portion that we ended up taking home. It was very good, but as someone else mentioned a little less salt would have really made it special. For dinner I had the Arctic Char. It was a first for me, and it was delicious. The fish itself is very similar to salmon if you are not familiar with Char. Wife had the Sea Bass which was also delicious. Only criticism there is for the $$ a larger portion is required. Despite some of our critiques, we had a very enjoyable dinner evening. The nice thing about the pub is that you can enjoy both casual food or gourmet......we've done both, your choice.
