    The location has been our goto in Boothbay for a long time. This is a new business (June of 25), and it's even better than the one that was here for years. Although the lobster rolls are great, I went for the crab roll. I'm even thinking of buying one or two for the trip back home.

    Crab roll.  Super fresh and stuffed full.

    Great food and service. I had two hot dogs and my wife had the fish and chips. The food was hot and fresh and the service was amazing

    Whenever we are in Boothbay, which is at least once a year, we always stop here for tapas…read more Have never had a menu item that I didn't like, and I have just about tried them all. Love sitting up on the rooftop with good company, good food, and good beers.

    Struggling with my review of this restaurant. The menu is an odd mix of risotto, sushi, tapas and…read moreother dishes. While we enjoyed the food we ordered, our server was somewhat rushed, impatient with us, and clearly needed to turn the table FAST. This is a popular restaurant that does not take reservations, so we went early at 5:30 and had no trouble getting a table outside on the third floor deck. Our server arrived and asked for our drink order just as the menus were dropped, and we said we needed a minute. This was the first hint that she had no time for our nonsense! She did return a few minutes later to take our drink order and asked to place our appetizers. Drinks and apps came out lightning fast, clearly pre-made and sitting. The fried oyster appetizer was delicious. For dinner we tried the lobster risotto, which was much much better than I expected given the vibe of the restaurant. When it came time for dessert our waitress asked what we might want after reciting what they offered. We chatted for a moment among ourselves, which was apparently too long, and she huffed off saying she did not have time for this, and would return. Clearly they wanted the table, and for us to leave, so we did. I get it, Boothbay Harbor is busy and filled with tourists. Some of the restaurants (like this one, and their sister spot) don't even try hard with service. We've had some good as well as excellent dinner in this small town. There's no reason for such poor and rushed service. A shame as the food was pretty good. Don't expect to stay here more than 45 minutes or so for your dinner. Given our service experience, I think I'd be hard pressed to come back here.
