Mile Marker One waterfront restaurant offers four season indoor dining and igloo dining on the marina with stunning views of fishing boats, some you'll recognize from television. We offer the freshest seafood, locally sourced direct from fishermen. The grass fed beef is amazing and you're never going to leave our restaurant hungry. We have fresh local clams, fresh local lobster, hake, halibut, and a stunning lobster grilled cheese sandwich with sage butter. We're about friends, family, fun and we even have music some Wednesdays. Local bartenders are always coming up with new drinks like our signature "Purple Rain." We host the Blue Fin Blowout each year in July.

Dining outside in one of the igloos was perfect for our family which included a 3 and 5 year old! The privacy and warmth they provide is amazing. The food was delicious.

An exceptional breakfast that was more than reasonably priced. Our waitress Yuri was as pleasant as usual. The portions of EVERYTHING were amazing though the VT maple syrup was too much on the thick side to almost not taste like VT syrup. Just awesome ambiance as well.

Dined last night in one of the NEW igloos at MM1…fantastic! They are clear and cozy, very cool design and they’ve added little tiny lights if you want even more atmosphere. One of them, the one we had, even has two lounging chairs- the perfect igloo for a romantic and relaxing dinner. Our servers were prompt, knowledgeable and fun (not just courteous, but fun too). I eat gluten-free and MM1 offers numerous options. We shared 3 gluten-free apps which everyone gobbled up. There’s a variety of GF entrees and GF layer cake, all delicious. This has become our go-to to bring friends from out of town looking for seafood, and for a quick dinner (try the grass-fed burgers!) for just the two of us. Love it!

Delicious dinner as always! The onion soup was fantastic, very large portion and seafood chowder was also delicious. Love that MM1 always has specials on the weekends and last night we had braised beef, served with garlic, mashed potatoes and grilled asparagus. Our servers were right there taking great care of us, thank you!
