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!

The fish tacos are so delicious and they have a lot of fun cocktails to choose from. I come here every summer! Perfect for a date night or night out with the entire family. Servers are very friendly. It has a laid-back yet upscale vibe. I've also come during the daytime for lunch. You can come via boat. I believe it's the same lunch and dinner menu but again everything is soo good. Their Linekin Bay Smash (rum punch) is a must!

I can't help myself...we had the "neat"-est experience at Neat in Boothbay Harbor…read more I first came across Neat in a local magazine and added it to my running foodie list. During a recent off-season trip to Boothbay, we finally stopped by, and I was genuinely surprised this little whiskey bar exists right in the middle of town. It's a sub shop during the day, but after hours it becomes this moody, intimate and cozy space with a huge whiskey selection. I'm a big whiskey fan (not an expert by any means, just a fan), but my husband isn't, so this could've gone either way. To my surprise, the vibe was super relaxed, and by that I mean not even a hint of pretentiousness (that whiskey bars are sometimes known for). The bartender, who also owns the place, was so welcoming and friendly, helpful, and running the whole thing solo like a pro. The whiskey list was wild (it just seemed never-ending), and the cocktail menu had plenty of options for non-whiskey drinkers too (my husband loved his drink!). Plus, sipping drinks while looking out at the harbor?! Can't beat it.

For the last couple of days, we've been staying near 727 Ocean Sunset Bar, and we decided to give it a try. Tucked away in a quiet corner with absolutely stunning views, this place ended up being the highlight of our trip -- both for the food and the service. A big shoutout to Roxxie, who made our experience even better with her warm and attentive service. We ordered the ribeye with mushroom sauce (10/10), the blood orange and maple salad (delicious!), and the seared scallops. Everything was cooked to perfection. For dessert, we shared the blueberry crisp -- and wow. Just wow. We'll definitely be coming back tomorrow for another round. This place is a gem.

I was already in a foul mood, walking in here set me into straight sensory overload. It's a bar where they sing. I am unable to get inebriated enough to enjoy bars where they sing any longer. Call me miserable, maybe I suppose. In addition to the merry old fella belting it out on the mic, we had the joy of having some drunk guy in a large group behind us try and out sing him without a microphone. He even challenged the old guy singing to a form of a duel. Anyway I was so off, I cannot remember anything about my server at all. Nothing. I do remember almost screaming and running out. I sat there trying not to lose it while my wife had the time of her life. Every song made it worse, everyone else is singing, I am dying. When the guy took a break, guess what, dickhead from the crowd goes up and takes over. Shots helped at this point and the weed is kicking in well at this point. Now I'm hungry... My food was inedible and I'm pretty sure incomplete as well. The worst flatbread in the history of flatbreads. C's looked pretty good actually so I am sure her experience was quite different than mine. I hope to never return. '25 - extra

Everything was aesthetically pleasing but I did find the muscles overly sauced with a little too much salt for my palette. The lobster flatbread was fine but nothing spectacular since the flatbread was not made there. Lobster meat and corn were sporadically covering the bread. Very good for a shared appetizer. Raviolis were great but since they were stuffed with peas and to have them with pea sauce is a little bit too much but again it was tasty. The scallop dish was on the pricey side for just three large scallops with pea sauce. Apparently they use their homegrown peas in the garden which is organically good. Crab cakes were delicious. There's a little band playing in the pub on Sunday nights. Good place to go to eat after checking in the hotel.

Our room was on the small side but clean; it appeared it hasn't been updated in quite a while, however. The internet worked fine. And we parked our car in front of the room, which was convenient. Not bad. We arrived almost two hours before our reservation and checked in at the nearby Wharf Inn, a sister property apparently. We knew we'd have a wait, but we were reassured it would be no more than 15-20 minutes. Turned out to be two hours with a series of missteps in cleaning our room and reporting back to the front desk. It took another 10 minutes to get our keys. No one ever apologized. So we can't rate the service highly, but again, the room was alright. Not sure we'd want to return. (Our room was first floor with somewhat limited view of the waterfront; not a big deal for us but might be for others.)

It's not a plate of fish, it's a BOWL of fish, And it comes with crunchy fries, also a big serving. We think that may ruiined us for anyone else's haddock for a long, long time.

I also love the outdoor seating and the picnic benches as it only adds to the experience. I look forward to trying it again. Next time I visit Boothbay, Maine. Yum!
