    two bowls of food on a picnic table
    Naomi R.

    I was expecting overpriced crap but it was relatively reasonable to where it's located and very good. I would've given five stars if the bartender wasn't such a moody cranky B. She was atrocious and made a terrible drink. Lobster roll was yummy, clams were delish, to sweet potato tots are worth the upcharge but don't sleep on the Greek salad- that was fab!

    Clam chowder, fish & chips (all GF) both were delicious
    Holly B.

    Absolutely beautiful location. Food was delicious. All GF, too. Best French fries I've eaten in a while. Counter service was helpful and knowledgeable about the menu. No complaints. Great food at comparable prices with an amazing view. It's a bit out of the way but definitely worth the brief ride!

    Just Ordinary. Guest at the hotel looking for a light dinner. Crab cake sandwich - very small ok flavor $21.00. Pulled chicken sandwich with sweet potato tater tots Smoked chicken- dry and spicy. Tater tots were delicious Order at counter. Pick up when ready. Bus your own table Bartender friendly

    Lobster roll with fries

    Was looking for a place to eat before meeting someone onsite at the Cliff House. Nubb's seemed perfect. It was the perfect location and it does have the cutesy factor but resort pricing and resort ambiance would lead me off site if I had the time to spare. Orders are taken as you enter the restaurant, a walk up ordering station where you order, pay and receive a buzzer to take to your table. Menu is classic lobster shack menu with resort pricing. The tables are a mix of indoor upscale picnic tables and regular tables. There is a bar in the restaurant and they serve a very good selection of local beers, this gets high marks! There were a couple of groups in the restaurant and they were having a good time. My lobster roll was fine, not one I would seek out. Fries were crinkle fries and looked and tasted like frozen fries. Coleslaw allocation was small, but it was good. So, overall I think Nubb's is good but I would not consciously come again unless I was staying at the resort or was pressed for time - meeting someone at the resort.

    Always a pleasure to eat here when staying at the Cliff house. The lobster rolls are meaty and delicious. This time we also tried the big lobster, which was exceptional. Prices are good, ambiance is casual and views are spectacular

    Menu -order at counter then carry food to dining area.

    If you're looking for lobster everything along with ambiance, look no further!! First time here, I wanted a lobster roll but after seeing more on menu, chose a trio of rolls-lobster, crab & shrimp! Sooo good! I love that they had malt on the tables to have with my fries!! Yum! Cute rustic decor & of course the views are gorgeous! On other side of counter is more to the menu -tons of ways to get tater tots -hubby ordered lobster, brown buttered with cheese curds & whoa!!! I will be back! :)

    Whoopie pie, blue berry pie, brownie and beignets. The beignets were probably the best.

    Very nice people working here, My family and I sampled most of the desserts on the menu. The deserts here will get you a quick fix.

    Nubbs lobster shack! Well you have to really be looking for it to find it! But when you do, you will have a great lobster roll with a breath taking view. The lobster was tossed in mayo and butter at our request. The lobster was tender and roll perfectly toasted. Located near the pool area of the resort. So find it and you will find the lobster Roll you have been looking for!

    Warm butter lobster roll with Baxter Brewing Company's special make only for Cliff House "Following Sea" Lager.

First things first - parking is super easy, it's a free valet service (not obvious at first, as there is parking behind the restaurant, but you're greeted right away when you pull in). We walked through the bar area, over to the restaurant area (surprisingly the bar was quite full), and were able to choose a table by one of the two fireplaces. On the restaurant side, it feels very cozy, and homey, exactly where you want to spend a cold night, inside eating dinner. Our server was lovely, greeted us right away and provided menus. I started with a cosmo (they had flavored versions like strawberry, but I elected to go for the classic). For an appetizer, we started with the bacon wrapped scallops - the bacon was maple glazed, and wonderfully crispy, with the scallops cooked perfectly, and some micro-greens scattered on the plate - delicious. For entrees, my mom had the baked seafood stuffed haddock which came with a lobster sherry cream sauce, a massive pile of perfectly cooked green beans, and mashed potatoes (yum). I went with the duck special, which was absolutely delightful. It came with Brussels sprouts, and I subbed out the au gratin (I very strongly dislike sweet potatoes), for mashed potatoes. It was delicious. We were so full, we opted for dessert to go (chocolate cake), which was generously portioned, and decadently delicious. We really enjoyed the meal - this was a wonderful dinner to celebrate my mom's 80th birthday!

Like, I'd probably go out of my way just to come back. It is a super unassuming spot behind the building of a gift/craft store and ice cream shop. There is a bar seating and patio. It was not too crowded at 3ish in the afternoon on a Monday; we were greeted warmly and told to choose a table. They didn't have a high chair but they had booster seats. I got a glass of brut rosé and my husband got the Pilsner on draft. Both were refreshing and delicious! I got a half dozen oysters (followed by another half dozen afterward) of the fresh oysters of the day, and also learnt this place is on the Maine Oyster Trail. For good reason too--they were probably some of the best oysters I've ever had. Shucked perfectly, with delicious cocktail sauce, horseradish, lemon and mignonette. So good I had to get more. I had a burger for my main, with a gluten free bun and no cheese for dairy free. They also have gluten free fries that are made in a separate frier, bless! My husband got the lobster roll, cold style and said it was absolutely delicious--his first lobster roll and everything he hoped it would be. On top of the food and drinks being great, our server was an absolute gem. So kind, so helpful, he went above and beyond to take care of us and ensure my food was allergen safe. He even went out of his way to get milk for our toddler in a fun kids cup. I truly hope to make it back some day soon!

After being told by our waiter that our food was coming, 45 minutes after our order was taken, we were dismayed that our entrees were delivered and they completely forgot our salad. Where was the salad we ordered for our first course? And where was the second glass of red wine my wife ordered? We ordered a seafood dish with clams, mussels, haddock, and shrimp atop a pasta in a "saffron" sauce, and a grilled beef tenderloin with potatoes and grilled asparagus. The seafood dish featured perfectly prepared fish and shellfish, but the sauce had little flavor. I sampled the beef tenderloin, which had a nice flavor but was otherwise indistinguishable. The long wait for food, as well as the scatterbrained attitude of our waiter, made this dining experience so uncomfortable that we decided to skip dessert and just pay our bill and leave. And we had to pay for parking a princely sum to make matters even more adverse. We won't be back.
