North Beacon Oyster

MidCoast Maine has many superb restaurants and North Beacon Oyster fits into the fabulous category. A small quaint spot in downtown Rockland that does not disappoint. We tried their Damariscotta oysters, shrimp cocktail, crispy Brussels, steak fritters, Parmesan fries, and fish tacos. A nice sampleing of delicious items and will be back for sure. Rather easy to get in during the Winter but can be more challenging during the touristy Summer months. Owners Eric and Amanda have put together a great crew serving up wonderful dishes…enjoy!

The food and bar area here was stellar! Kim was extremely knowledgeable and warm, the bar area was such a cozy place to enjoy a wonderful meal. The oysters were super yummy, the cucumber jalapeño mignonette was delicious. We also enjoyed the steak frites which had the best parm covered fries ever. Would eat here every night if I could. Thanks Kim!

This place was awesome. Our wait staff Tony was right on the mark. The food was excellently prepared. The Ceaser salad with calamari as the protein was finominal. My wife's burger sliders were so very good. French fries and coleslaw were the bomb. I had the pemiquid oysters which were very good. The sauce for the oysters was a little vinegary for me, however the classic cocktail sauce was spot on. The food was definitely worth the price. Overall A+ and a do again.

Congratulations! You just found the sweet spot in Rockland! The food is sooooo good and the service is lovely. I make a point of always having lunch here when in the area. Have a Vesper martini with your oysters and then go from there. All items on the menu are cooked with intention & love. Meals & service are rejuvenating. 💕 Sincerely, A born Mainer 💕

We’ve never had such an awful dining experience and it was terribly upsetting. The owner is RUDE and ARROGANT. We were both looking forward to eating here and would’ve never expected such a horrid experience. We got there early but owner said he’s running on schedule so come back. So we left and walked around the area. When he said this we felt he was a bit curt. Okay, we figured he’s busy so he flustered. We returned exactly 2 minutes before our reserved time & he seated us. Our waitress took our order promptly. She was a sweetheart but very flustered from a large table she had. My husband ordered a cup of soup and I ordered 1/2 dozen oysters. My oysters came fast, but no soup. We waited a total of 20 minutes for a basic cup of soup. My oysters were okay but the chowder tasted like dishwa
