I work at the Moffatt-Ladd House across the street and have been meaning to come over and experience their menu, as we often have overlapping customers.

AMAZING FOOD!!! SERVICE WAS GREAT
I called to make reservation on a Friday night after 7:30pm for 6:30pm Saturday to a restaurant. The restaurant took my CC info and I expressed hesitancy at first.

The Oar House provides an excellent dining experience with great food, drinks, and friendly, attentive staff. The atmosphere is lovely, especially in the old dockside buildings, which create a cozy and vibrant setting. Guests can enjoy their meals outside on the deck, making it a perfect spot for summer nights in New England. The restaurant is capable of accommodating large groups and is convenient for those with time constraints. While upstairs seating is better suited for larger, louder groups, downstairs seating offers a quieter atmosphere for private conversations. Recent diners have praised dishes like the bacon wrapped scallops and Lobster Ravioli for their incredible flavors, though some noted that the portion sizes could be improved. Parking is conveniently located off-street in front of the dockside deck. Overall, The Oar House is highly recommended for its delicious food, great service, and inviting atmosphere.
