★★★★★ 5.0 Dave Cushman · Aug 2025

Visiting on a trip and the food was exactly what was needed. The haddock chowder was excellent. Wonderful view of the bay from the restaurant. Cute hidden gem just off the road.

★★★★★ 5.0 Cameron Pennoyer · Dec 2025

We went in December and it was all done up with holiday lights. Full sized Santa for the little ones. Food was great! The salmon slapped. Would do 2 of the artichoke dip next time. The chowder brings me back to the boothbay chowder house days of my childhood. 11/10 going back this summer

★★★★☆ 4.0 Dee Brewer · Nov 2025

The first night we were greeted with open arms by the host Thomas, but felt the wait staff was not quite as professional. The first night the salad never arrived and the second night the chowder never arrived for the 2 lobster dinners. Lunch the 3rd time I went the bartender waited on us and was great! The food here is amazing.

★★★★★ 5.0 EdwardC Yim · Aug 2025

Excellent food great service and wonderful view. Best fried haddock sandwich I’ve had!

★☆☆☆☆ 1.0 Diane DeGhetto Bonizzi · Oct 2025

Terrible. Service was slow and incomplete. Asked for dressing on the side with the salad and it came drenched in dressing. Had it remade and the chicken was dry and tough. The pan seared haddock with butter crumbs tasted more like it had been cooked in a microwave with no seasoning. Two of us didn't get our meals until the other four were almost done with theirs. Asked for grated cheese for the pasta twice and never got it. Half of the things we requested, including drinks, were unavailable. Waitress forgot key components of the lobster dinner. It was the worst meal we have had on our vacation in Boothbay Harbor this trip.
