This was our favorite meal in Boothbay Harbor. The service was fantastic, the meal couldn’t have been more delicious, and we enjoyed our evening so much. We were five and enjoyed the tuna, the lamb chops, the filet, crab cakes, and chowder... delicious!

First much confusion about where to seat us then they blamed open table saying internet reservations are sometimes not accurate.Now to the food scallops where gritty and The haddock seemed to have been sitting was at room temp which wouldn’t surprise me considering it took 21/2 hrs for two meals and a app (crab cakes very good highlight of the meal)trying to be fine dining but miss the mark

This visit was a big disappointment and after having visited every trip to Boothbay for years, I doubt I will go back. The service was slow and the food was so salty I could barely eat it.
