We had a remarkably great experience yesterday, from start to finish. In addition to the great views, there is a warm hospitality and a lively but not loud atmosphere. The Clementine Martini was a bright well-balanced cocktail. Next up were the oysters, with 2different styles of mignionette. These were the freshest, best oysters I've ever eaten. Then the scallop special, as promised by the server's description, was a light and delicate blend of the roasted pears and celeriac. It was delicious. Our desert, the apple tart, kept up the standard with a fresh apple filling and tasty pastry. And the entire staff was helpful and friendly. Our server Mike was especially outstanding. His descriptions were really spot on and his suggestions were very helpful. He made the evening warm and inviting.
Great staff, spectacular view and food was amazing taste and presentation I would recommend to all my family and friends
Delicious lunch. Almost missed this spot due to all the bad reviews. We had good customer service - the server did have a weird reaction when we asked for the "briniest" oysters, They only have one kind - but aside from that the food, drinks, and service were great. Pro tip: parking SUCKS. Walk there. The haddock is where it's at for lunch. Drinks are great.
Duck confit is excellent- tender. If the alternate veggies come with this dish maybe even better.
Favorite place in Ogunquit! The food, the service, and the view can not be beat. My go-to when here
The great - location, view, service, bar selection, lobster rolls, haddock sandwich and raw bar. Portions very generous, could not finish my haddock sandwich, but it made a nice dinner for my daughter. Chantelle our bartender was very attentive to everything. Oh two bars both were nice. A/c was solid on a very hot day. Cocktails and Mocktail were both appreciated, lots of beer selection for me. Oysters and smoked salmon on a bagel were out of this world. So good The good - French fries were solid, BLT was solid The ok - can't think of anything. Well I guess I like a larger water glass and a pitcher of water, but like I said I never hit 1/2 way down my water before Chantelle refilled it, so it didn't matter. The bad - absolutely nothing. Highly recommend.
