A+ fam...start with some tasty breads . Chowder is good, boiled lobster is awesome. Pot Roast is off da chain yo. Great atmosphere and fun. Must do in P-town.

A little hidden gem out on the pier in Portland. Get the oysters to start, the halibut in butter sauce , and the scallops are not to miss! Great for big groups.

Kristopher Chavez

Start the meal with fresh oysters and order the scallops for dinner with a nice crisp white.

Alex Still

This is a snazzy place to have your dinner lobster , because you already had your lunch lobster sitting on the dock, right? Also, the oysters are local and amazingly fresh and delicious.

The mussels are fantastic and the scallops couldn't be better. What I was most impressed by was the main Halibut dish. I never knew Halibut could taste like that... Wow!!

We had a 9 pm reservation on a Sunday night. Food was ok but fish was overdone. 12-15 tables seated and staff was preoccupied with clean up for the night, including wait staff . Disappointing.

Get the blueberry sour cream crumble. The blueberries are local. The sour cream gives it a tartness and the little crumbles are bits of delicious texture. This is some good ice cream. - Kristopher Chavez
