We had dinner here and were able to sit outside. They have a really good location as it’s overlooking the water. It’s fairly small so you’ll need a reservation. If you can, walk up early afternoon to make the reservation. FYI if you request outdoor seating and it rains they won’t be able to move you inside. The menu has a good selection and there were a few specials Our food was really good and the staff was friendly and attentive. It’s pricey but we really enjoyed sitting outside with the water lapping up on the rocks.

We had a delightful lunch on the terrace but be sure to wrap up warm due to the cool breezes and some tables, like ours, are in the shade. Lengthy menus for all tastes and degrees of hunger from standards to some unconventional items. Great wine list and a selection of unique cocktails. Prompt and friendly service. Reservations are NOT possible so you may wind up standing in the street waiting for a table. No QR code menus, thank heavens!

The food was outstanding and cooked at perfection. The fish stew, the mussels in garlic white wine sauce, the medium rare salmon… even the garden salad was a work of art. 5 stars all around and impeccable service from Barbara who ushered us in and made us feel like home. Thank you!

Spectacular Portuguese fisherman’s stew, packed with melt in your mouth fresh fish, scallops, mussels, shrimp, sausage, and potatoes. Oily spicy tomato broth with tons of spices.

I’m giving two stars because the setting and view were spectacular. I ordered the chicken sandwich with Brie. It came with a salad and chips. To my surprise the chips seemed like just a handful of generic potato chips thrown on the plate. The salad was lettuce and onion if I’m not mistaken and only two choices of dressing. I chose the house, which tasted just like oil. I was very unhappy with my sandwich I took two bites and did not eat anymore. When the waiter came to check on me I apologized and told him very politely that I did not care for the sandwich. I have not eaten anything else off the plate including the chips or the lettuce. He apologized and quickly took the plate away and told me he will see what he can do. He returned sometime after with my bill and told me there was nothing he could do. So not only that I have to pay full price for the food I did not consume, it was taken away from me (not that I wanted the food but I should’ve been given the option to take it if I’m paying for it). I also feel that I should have been given an option of another item off the menu. Very disappointed in the experience. So I paid $25 for a view I guess.

Wonderfully romantic location, food was delicious and our server, Nick, was very helpful and courteous. We had clam chowder, the daily pasta (a shrimp carbonera) and the local haddock. The owner and server cared about our experience and helped make it a great night. Would definitely visit again!

The service at this place was simply awful. There was a nice guy at the front counter but a old grey haired lady was extremely rude to my family and I. This made us extremely uncomfortable. I cannot comment on the food itself because after the encounter we rightfully did not give them service. I can say however that service was below expectation.

Our dining experience was outstanding!! The service, the atmosphere, the view and the food were all excellent. The view of the water was of course, sublime. I can’t think of enough superlatives to describe how wonderful our evening was at, My Place By the Sea. Thank you!
