19 Best Seafood Restaurants near Waterville

“This restaurant is truly a gem and our favorite new spot. The quality of the food is outstanding — every dish is prepared with care, using fresh, seasonal ingredients that you can really taste. The menu is thoughtful and creative, and you can tell the chef prioritizes quality over quantity, which means some items may sell out — a clear sign of freshness and high demand.

The cocktails are equally impressive, well-crafted, balanced, and unique without being overcomplicated. They perfectly complement the food and add to the overall experience.

The atmosphere is warm and inviting, striking that perfect balance between relaxed and refined. It’s the kind of place where you can enjoy a casual dinner with friends or a special night out.

If you’re looking for a place that combines fresh ingredients, exceptional flavors, and a comfortable vibe, this spot is hard to beat. Just a tip: get there early or make a reservation, because when something runs out here, it’s because it’s that good.“

“Service n food was outstanding“

“good seafood, friendly service. Excellent cheddar biscuits“

“Excellent food and server. We especially enjoy watching the ice waterfall melt over the lobster tank. This is one of the few restaurants in the area that offer Chilean sea bass which is one of my favorite and it was cooked to perfection. I also had the shrimp as an appetizer and it was large and crisp, not soggy. Only downside is the noise level.“

“Made our first visit last night, and it was amazing. Not 1 thing that needed improvement. Food was amazing and the service was top notch. Ricardo knocked it out of the park, he was without a doubt the best server we have ever had anywhere.“

“This is definitely a very nice restaurant to come eat at. It's a beautiful setting service was great really good menu. The hot mama bread was great. The steak and potatoes were amazing lasagna was quite good as well. The desserts were really good but they didn't really wow me. I am still searching for carrot cake better than J Alexander's but everything else was superb. I will definitely be looking for an excuse to come back here.“

“Thank you Abraham, Moe and Hassan🤩 great service and my perch dinner was so good. Three young men taking care of business. They need a raise making all of that food for people. I’ve seen more workers at other restaurants and the service and food was not as good.
Ok, back to the food🔥 I had the perch with okra and coleslaw. So much flavor and the lemon pepper changed my mind about lemon pepper…it was the best 😋 I didn’t even need hot sauce 😂 I ate it too fast. I bit a piece off the fish on one pic too because I couldn’t wait.
I seen Akmed on the receipt as cashier so thanks. The price is really nice for a two price fish dinner. I recommend this place for sure.“

“I love this place“

“We wandered in mid-afternoon on a Friday, and had the best experience! Service was friendly and fast, huge selection of food and drink options, and our meals were delicious! We had walked down from the Volvo dealership after our car was towed there, having not eaten all day, and couldn't have asked for a better spot to land! Highly recommend the Burro Grande and Enchiladas! Definitely a hidden gem!“

“Really enjoyed our meal st SamBs. Our first time. Able to reserve a table for 6. Seated promptly. Olivia our server was attentive and polite. The kitchen relayed some info to make our meals better. Food was served hot and everyone enjoyed their food-sliders, walleye sandwiches-perch and salmon dinner. Would recommend“

“Went out to eat at the Whitehouse Inn ... my bill was $23.16. I gave him $40.00.... should have gotten back 16.84. I would have left him a $5.00 tip. But he brought me back $7.00. Got that???? So I went straight into the kitchen and found him. He knew ASAP and I said I gave you $40.00 and showed him the 7.00 he immediately gave me $10.00. So just to be nice the I gave him $2.66 tip. Watch your change back on cash customers... It was a male with black hair and about 45 years old maybe.“
