The view was great and it was really nice to look out over the water. There is a rooftop bar, but it was extremely hot during our visit so we passed on sitting up there. We're late eaters, so we're nervous about the 8:00 closing time, but it seemed like that's when they stop seating vs closing for the night. We left a little afterwards and the restaurant was still bringing out food - so probably the last tables before shutting down the kitchen for the night. We weren't rushed despite being the end of their night.

One had the fish and chips. Up this way they use haddock. Don't know why we don't in Charleston, that was some oh-so-delicious fish!!!! I'd been dying for some 'Boston' clam chowder. This chowder definitely fits the bill. Tasty, salty (in an appropriate way) thick, hot, and stuffed with some delicious clams. I also decided on the risotto, just the 4 cheese, no protein. This was creamy and so full of flavor, 6 days later I'm still thinking about it. We sat on the rooftop, enjoyed some fine weather, a great meal, and lovely wine. Couldn't have been a more perfect lunch!

It seemed to be where most people were anyways. The bartender, I think named Greg, was awesome. Even though he was busy, he was quick and attentive. I ordered the filet cooked medium rare for dinner. It was slightly under, more on the rare side, but I didn't complain. Mainly because the couple next to me were non stop complaining and I just didn't want to be a bother. It was still delicious and I don't mind rare steak anyway. I will say, it had an amazing crust on it and was seasoned well. The sauce also paired really nice and wasn't too heavy. The baked potato was also delicious, and they made sure to salt the skin which is bonus points. Overall, I thought it was a cute little restaurant. I liked the vibe and sort of eclectic decor. Food was fresh and delicious. I would definitely come back if I'm ever in town again.

One only comes for the view which is--honestly--not work a $50 entree. Lights were very bright and chairs dig into your spine. This was by far the worst service I have ever had. The food took 51 minutes only to be served undercooked carrots and overcooked pheasant truly tasting like fried chicken. Lamb was good, but some chops cooked past medium, some still raw (ordered MR). Bread was stale. Furthermore, I waited over 20 minutes just for a refill on water because our server was nowhere to be found. The manager never spoke to us or apologized. Any restaurant I worked at would have offered a free dessert and/or comped apps. For a place to be promoting such 'prestige' likeness, the restaurant is absolutely awful.

Let me start by saying that I'm being generous with four stars, based on the obvious effort that…read morethe restaurant puts into the experience. This could be even better - maybe even a spectacular experience - if they had a floor manager or Maitre'D with experience running the show. 88 has a pretty interior, both relaxing and quiet. It has a definite upscale casual elegance. My first big impression: they desperately need a sommelier or at least a head server versed in wine. We ordered a bottle of champagne and they brought it out, opened it, and served us warm champagne; if the bottle was warm, why even open it? Now I'm losing the bubbles for the 30 plus minutes it took to get cold in ice (and at first it was too much water and not enough ice, so it didn't chill until we asked them to replace the water with actual ice). It wasn't even cold until after we were done with our oysters, amuse, and salad. Other times, once it was cold, the waitress would come over, but not pour us more champagne - despite our glasses obviously low or empty. I understand people are starving in the world, but that doesn't change the fact that in a decent place they should train the staff on wine handling and etiquette. The big issue there is that the servers are very young; need at least a couple of "grown ups" in the place. (A "grown up" is someone over 35). As for the food, it was well made and tasty. Scallops appetizer had three large scallops, which were perfectly cooked, but a tad under-flavored; the pink peppercorn sauce was delicious, but it almost needed more. Raw oysters (5) from Glidden Point (down the road) were clean and cold and local. 88 gets big points for the thoughtful, nice touches - a free glass of champagne to start; an amuse bouche (it was a chilled melon-cucumber spoon tonight); warm cheddar biscuits; and a parting gift. For main courses, we had the chicken breast stuffed with arugula cranberry stuffing and a side of risotto - it was high quality chicken and it super flavorful, served sliced. The "stuffing" was obviously fresh and made with high quality ingredients. We also enjoyed The sliced, rare tuna, which I believe was maple glazed - served over a bed of wild rice. The chef perfectly seared it, and this was clearly high quality tuna. Very tasty, and a generous portion. Overall, we enjoyed the relaxing atmosphere and lovely view; with additional management and training, this could really be a top notch dining destination in the Mid-Coast.
