My family are long time residents of Maine. Decades in fact. I’ve been coming to visit them regularly over the years. They introduced me to the Slipway, and I instantly fell in love. Always been a pleasure to sit outside and enjoy the delicious food and drinks. That is with the exception of this past Saturday. We arrived a little after noon and saw the waiter opening umbrellas. He said hello, yelled inside that a four top had arrived and then gave us instructions on what two tables we were allowed to sit at. (The entire pier was open)
After he came back out, my aunt who has lived in Maine for maybe over 40 years asked him politely if we could sit out on the pier. (What’s the point of going to the Slipway and not sit outside?). His response was insanely rude. “No” was basically the answer. He apparently gave us the instructions in the first place. Then he proceeded to insult my aunt with a dig at her sunglasses.
Suffice to say we ended up leaving and heading to our other favorite restaurant in Rockland. But considering we were nothing but polite, it was absolutely shocking.
Slipway, I would love to talk to you about this since your waiter has truly offended and upset your biggest fans.

Very disappointed the Slipway's website said they were open. drove 45 minutes to find them closed. They need to attend to their website. Tried calling and you couldn't leave a message Sadly it used to be such a good spot ? ..

So, the atmosphere is fantastic. It's right on the water and you definitely feel like your on vacation here. FYI, We live here year round. The service is also great. We had a very charming local wait on us, who was very attentive. The problem is the food. The menu is extremely limited. The portions are very small and the cost is high. If you are looking for a great Waterview experience, this isn't it.

Mixed experience. No beer on tap, fish chowder had almost no fish (literally 2 quarter inch pieces in a large bowl), chowder also had way too much onion and was very milky like it was just made, mixed drink was good (Clammer's Punch), fish and chip was good.

Although sitting outside on the deck on a beautiful summer evening is idyllic, and the service was good, we waited way too long for our food, and when it arrived it was cold…not great for a plate of fried food, which is mostly what they do. Pretty disappointing.

For me, the laid-back, calm outside atmosphere reminds me why I love Maine. I had an amazing haddock sandwich overloaded with beautiful, flaky fish- I even took some home! Crispy fries, and excellent service, too. Great hidden gem! I will be back.

Closed the entire summer but google says they are open. Wasted time driving here. Answering machine says they are open through Columbus day. Which Columbus day? 2002?
Beautiful setting at the head of the inlet. The food was worth the wait. The sunset was a bonus.

Can't really give a review as we weren't able to eat there. All the information on the internet says they open at 4pm, but when we got there they said that they don't start serving food until 5pm. Their chairs are NOT comfortable enough to wait another hour to be able to order!

First time here, completely AMAZING, great food, service. So happy we came here ...
Wheelchair accessibility: There is accessibility to the pier to eat, but would have been nice to be able to eat inside as one of our group gets cold if you turn a fan on.... But nothing that would make not want to return.
