I came from out of state(Texas) into a once-in-a-lifetime experience. The atmosphere was electric as the live band played. The weather was 50 degrees cooler than Texas’s 120 degrees. Service was top-notch and attentive. The people were great and hypnotized by the vibes of the music.

A fantastic way to spend some time water/front in Portland! The lobster was fantastic and the location of the restaurant was unbeatable! The weather was great when we ate outside and the lobster and fish were so fresh, not to mention the great beer! The staff was so friendly and would recommend to anyone visiting Portland! It’s located right downtown, walking distance to other cute shops as well!

Great host. Not the best lobster roll. It wasn’t even buttery! I wouldn’t get lobster roll from here there is better other places ! We sat on deck, was very windy and cold. The clam chowder was amazing ! I would def be back for the chowder … we also ordered crab burger – it was okay. The fries were yummy ! Dog friendly !! The manager even offered us a pup cup- but it was so frozen our dog couldn’t eat it. But still – was very nice. I’ll recommended it ( fish and chips) – looked good. Don’t waste your time on the lobster roll. – good prices. You basically order then they serve you and find your table on deck. Super friendly staff.

Overall very positive experience, this place does get really busy in the evening especially on the weekends. You can expect a short wait to get a high top table after you place your order. I can only speak to the lobster roll and fries, both of which were pretty tasty. Likely could be improved with a little more flavoring on the lobster, but it definitely was fresh tasting!!

We were walking downtown Portland and came across this restaurant. It was very busy on a Friday afternoon around 1pm but we found seats on the deck. Pretty loud place but fun! Dog friendly too. We got lobster rolls and it was great! It’s easy and quick. The people at the counter when ordering your food were friendly too.

We love going there and the food is fresh , we had the scallops roll and they were amazing and sweet, the only draw up I’m giving 4 stars to the cashier. We didn’t know we needed our receipt to get our drinks at the bar (especially when she handed it to me and I said to trash it) could have spoken up. Lesson learned and that won’t happen again and won’t stop us going again.

Skip the lobster and go for the crab cake burger!! This is 100% worth every penny! This was probably the best crab cake I have every had, it was moist, flavorful, and just delicious! The French fries were your typical fries but also cooked amazing and a great side dish. We got a great view while we ate and some great music was playing by a band. I was 10/10 go back here. You will no be disappointed in this purchase!

Omgosh this place was everything I wanted when finally making my dream come true to visit Portland, Maine. I highly recommend the house lobster stew paired w/ a fresh lobster roll you can thank me later. During my first visit accompanied w/ my end of August 2023 crew memberz. I definitely n highly recommend stopping by this lil gem on the water. Who knowz maybe like me you can enjoy some live music played by a local baba

Great menu with plenty of seafood for dinner. The portion are a great size. Large varieties of wine and beers. Great terrace on the dock with live music. Staff are kind and friendly. They keep it very clean and service is on point. Definitely a stop when in Portland, Maine.
