10 Best Seafood Restaurants near Wiscasset

“Great company and great food and so on.“

“Let me put the cart before the horse and tell you this was one of the best, if not the best, experiences I have had at a restaurant. Corrinna was lovely. She took time to explain to this uninitiated wine consumer the differences between wines, glasses, and tasting, as well as pairing with foods. Speaking of food, this was also splendid. We started with oysters, which was a first, calamari, pork belly, arancini, and focaccia that melted in your mouth. My main course was the Swordfish with sweet potato puree, fingerling, and swordfish "bacon" jam. This is a silent gem that I selfishly stays quiet for my purposes, but Back River Bistro needs to be visited by anyone who loves a small curated dining experience. Much success to Matt & Corrinna. It is much deserved.“

“They always have some of the best fried food around, especially the onion rings!!!
The scallops portion seemed a little small at first, but the cook noticed the same and brought out a few more, which made me feel they cared about their food and customers. I stop here every year after Monkey C, and you should too!
The crab roll is also good 👍“

“By far our favorite restaurant in the Midcoast area. Always delicious food and great service. If you need gluten free options this is the place.“

“The food is excellent at a fair price! The menu has a lot of good options.“

“First off the service was great. Very friendly staff and very quick service. Nice atmosphere and great view from where we sat. Now the food. We got bowl of clam chowder, steamed clams, a crab/lobster roll with sweet potato fries and a soda and ice tea. Our bill came out to $130.00! Really? My husbands food was good and my ice tea and sweet potato fries were good. The combo crab/lobster roll was lousy. Could be one of the worst ones I’ve ever had. Kitchen staff you served me crab meat that stunk and tasted like ammonia. I used to work in the restaurant industry and sold seafood and folks that is bad news. I gagged it down and tried not to complain too much because my husband really wanted to check this place out. I did tell the waiter I didn’t care for my meal. I also made the mistake of getting it with drawn butter and no mayo. They didn’t serve it right or because they used borderline bad seafood it didn’t work. I’ve had the warmed lobster rolls before and it was delicious down in the Portland area. Unfortunately we will never eat here again and would not recommend it…. BTW Red Eats in Damariscotta is a long wait but the food was well worth the wait and the money. If you want to spend a lot of money on a lobster dinner go there…. Sorry Taste of Maine places like yours I’m sure usually works on food quality but you failed big time yesterday.“

“Kind staff and good food and views“

“Went and had a steak dinner. The food was amazing, the staff person was top notch. Pricing was reasonable. The lounge area had a nice laid back vibe to it and wasn’t too loud. I’ll definitely be back for more!“
