Unfortunately this place was average (or below average) for the cost…read more Came here to get lobster bisque due to a glowing review from another Yelper. I asked for it extra hot. Ordered the fried haddock sandwich too. Soup arrived with steam (before the spoons to eat it came) but the soup was actually not that hot when we tasted it. We had to wait for spoons. The bowl of lobster bisque was $34, which was a conscious decision for us to order - because that's expensive. (A cup is$20.) The lobster bisque had no flavor. The salt, pepper and lemon we added ourselves helped but for $34, it should be amazing. It cooled off super quickly and was room temperature within 3 minutes and in 8 minutes or so, cold. Which means it wasn't truly heated through and through to start. We regret ordering it. The fried haddock sandwich had zero flavor. None. Not salt, not pepper. The fries and Heinz ketchup had the most flavor of anything on our table. When the sandwich came we asked for another plate (we were sharing it), which never came. At one point, the waitress came over and asked how everything was. I replied, "Eh, alright." She said "Okay!" and walked away. Disappointing since, budget-wise, we are eating out one meal a day of this trip and that was the experience (and lack of flavor) we had. $66 including tip. Such a waste. Sorry to say....but skip this place.

We learned of it from locals and decided to give it a try. It was a bit rocky of a start, someone didn't really know that we were there, but when we asked we had service recovery that was off the charts. We had a very nice Chardonnay. and because of our initial wait we received the cajun shrimp appetizer that was absolutely incredible and served with homemade chipotle cocktail sauce - so good and perfect with the wine. I then followed that with an order of chicken wings that came with buffalo sauce and blue cheese, Wayne had the fettuccine Alfredo that was also excellent. Although no longer within the blues festival grounds, we will totally add it to next year's plan!

Then the waitress scolded us for not asking to be seated. We explained that the woman inside told us to grab a table, the waitress scolded us again. The waitress tried to be sweat but there was an undercurrent of unhappiness and unpleasantness underneath that. The sandwiches were mediocre and the coleslaw side was very bland. Seems like a fussy place that really does not know how to welcome guests and thinks that is the food looks good on the plate that is all that matters.

The Greek gryo had a wonderful tzatziki sauce, fresh veggies, juicy chicken with a great sear. The haddock fish had a light, airy, and crispy batter. It was tender, and had a great flavor when paired with the tartar sauce. The kid's Mac and cheese was also fantastic. Most restaurants sell you kraft Mac and cheese, not here. The Mac and cheese was made with cork-screw pasta, a thick, creamy, cheese sauce, topped with a crust of additional cheese and bread crumbs. The food also had very nice plating considering the price point. Each meal was presented in a way that showed thought, and craftsmanship. Overall, this restaurant had the most memorable food of my trip to Maine.

We had intended to eat at a different restaurant, however, said restaurant was full, and this was a back up. When we called they said we're empty so we said fine we are on our way. We arrived and the interior was interesting, not bad just interesting and we thought OK we'll just get a quick meal nothing right home about. It'll be fine. However. Fine is not enough to describe it. Don't walk, RUN to order the broiled haddock plaki. What an AMAZING surprise. Flavorful haddock with feta tomato and lemon on top, perfectly sautéed zucchini and yellow squash, and a rice and tomato combo that was absolutely shovel in mouth inducing. Other dishes that were described as out of this world included the atuffed haddock, fried clams, chicken tenders, and don't get me started on the FRITES!! Paired with a can sauvignon that was an excellent selection by the bar team, I was in heaven and had to be rolled away from the table. Absolute perfection in every bite!!

Upon arriving, I learned that the pricing was absolutely outrageous--$ 38 for a Lobster Mac'n cheese. I'm dead. We ordered and took our seats out on the patio, where my ears proceeded to get violated by the worst choice in music I've heard in my life. Never in my 52 years of living would I imagine "I wanna be your Maine man" by Rhett and Link to play at a mom-and-pop restaurant. I would've given 5 stars if it wasn't for the music. Great food though.

I ordered the Almighty Fisherman's Platter with fried scallops, haddock, whole belly clams, and shrimp. Everything was fresh, hot, and cooked just right. The Neil's Bourbon Salmon was also excellent and definitely worth ordering. You can't beat sitting overlooking Rockland Harbor while you eat. It's got that laid-back, authentic Maine waterfront feel that so many people come here looking for. The service was friendly, the food came out quickly, and I honestly don't have a single complaint. If you're in Rockland and craving fresh seafood, I'd definitely recommend stopping at Hill's. Great food, beautiful harbor views, and a true taste of Maine. We'll definitely be back!

I asked to be seated outside, but away from the sun and scored a table near the center. I realized belatedly that if I had grabbed one of the extra seat cushions from the bench seating, that I would have been more comfortable. Service was friendly enough and my meal brought out at reasonable pace, but my water was not refilled and I had to ask for a straw. Also my original assigned server declined to be assigned me since I was a party of one, which wasn't the most welcoming feeling. Their haddock Reuben $20 was a grilled cheese on steroids, and was quite good, and came with fries. They did have honey mustard and provided it at no additional charge. When a table near me forgot their credit card, their waitress quickly hopped the fence to return it to them.

Sammy's deluxe... unforgettable experience. Was walking around Rockland and we just stumbled upon…read moreSammy's not knowing what to expect or what the menu was like. Sat at the bar since they were quite busy and haven't had a chance to clear a few tables. Restaurant reminds you of grandma's house, rustic, chic tables and chairs, mismatched dinnerwares and the whole ambiance playing "killin jive" from the 1940's. I wasn't born then but the whole vibe reminds you of that era that I only get a pleasure to watch on TV. Now for the food... Jonah's crab as you can expect was sweet and delicious but a pain to eat using your fighting tools however, the dip was heavenly. BF had the burger, he was surprised that you can't modify it, but thoroughly enjoyed how unique it was, I told him, the chef takes pride how he prepares his food, so you either take it as it is or get something else. Keep an open mind. And I had the overnight beef shank, wow, simple yet delicious, fork tender and luscious marrow. The celery and fennel salad added brightness to the dish and the blue cheese wasn't overwhelming. And I don't like blue cheese and this creativity made me wanting it more. The dish isn't a huge portion, but surprisingly it got me full that I left a few bites of the beef and the salad. For drinks, I had the Rosé and he had the New England India pale ale, light and bubbly. Service was okay, a little slow in the beginning and as the night went on, our server became friendlier.
