    Small little cafe! Coffee is self served. The best part of the cafe is the terrace which has an awesome view of the harbor. Breakfast is simple. Had two sunny side up eggs with English muffins and home fries (mixed with sweet and regular potatoes). Sadly, the potatoes were undercooked, almost raw. Service at counter was a bit repetitive with our orders but the waitresses who brought our food to our table were excellent. Otherwise...it's an adorable spot for a quick start in the morning.

    Blueberry pancakes and farmer's omelette.  You can see the one decent bistro chair behind me which I switched to.

    We come to Boothbay Harbor every summer and this year we stayed for 10 days, so plenty of opportunities to enjoy breakfast at the Blue Moon where we've enjoyed the blueberry pancakes for many years. Sadly, this year we only ate there once and the reason may surprise you because it certainly surprised us! The morning we had breakfast here, the food was delicious as always! I ordered a farmer's omelette (ham, cheddar & veggies) and it came with a toasted english muffin and home fries. It tasted wonderful but the cheese was stringy and tough... like overcooked mozzarella, so I removed the cheese and finished the omelette without it. The home fries were great, BUT I only received 7 pieces of potato! It was as if they ran out and gave me the dregs before they made more? I don't know but for a breakfast that was almost $15. I expected a serving of home fries, not a few pieces. My husband had the Maine blueberry pancakes and they were wonderful, as they always have been since we began eating here many, many years ago. We also ordered a Maine blueberry muffin and the server kindly asked if we wanted it toasted and buttered (thank you) and it was absolutely delicious as was the coffee. The reason why we ate here only once, instead of every morning of our stay as usual wasn't because I was shorted on the home fries. We stayed away for the following reasons: 1). The chairs on the deck (where we and everyone else prefer to eat) were horribly uncomfortable! Whoever made the decision to replace the chairs with these cheap, wobbly, back-bending, plastic lawn chairs made a BAD decision and it wasn't just my opinion... once one person mentioned it, everyone chimed in and complained! The slope of the back of the chairs force you to recline when all you want to do is bend forward a little to eat at the table. Patrons feel like a bug on its back! 2). The new, cheap plastic patio chairs have a bigger footprint than the old chairs, and they make the deck horribly tight! The chairs are back-to-back, so unless every customer is a size 0, you cannot sit down! Folks were really frustrated at not being able to sit AT their table, or being shoved AGAINST their table due to overcrowding caused by these horrible, awkward, plastic chairs! 3). The staff MUST start posting that guests cannot claim tables until they have an order number. It's the job of the staff to make patrons comfortable and welcome! Rude patrons were hogging tables LONG before they ordered leaving folks with hot plates of food nowhere to sit and eat! It's just plain wrong and something needs to be done about it, even if it's just enforcing a rule that you cannot sit down until you have an order number to place on your table. Seeing folks standing up, trying to juggle their plates and place their coffee cups on the ground is inexcusable! There are a few tables indoors and two or three out back on pea gravel (no view of the harbor, but a few flowers; it's pretty) but most patrons want the view and I think it's up to the management to, well, manage! Great food, great views, horrible seating. Please replace the chairs to sturdy bistro chairs (I noticed you had a few) and please manage the seating. We only had one meal there (out of our entire 10 day stay) because nobody wants to begin their day with frustration. Breakfast should be relaxed and peaceful.

    Nice views

    Food was decent but not better than the views. You get in line to order your food then wait to have someone bring it to your table. Service was not bad - staff were nice.

    Very nice breakfast right on the water. The ordering process is slightly confusing, and the food is somewhat expensive, but it was good.

    but why do they ask if you want real or fake maple syrup? it doesn't seem like a place that would serve fake maple syrup.

One of my dining companions ordered the brandy lobster, which is really an appetizer, but she had it for dinner. It came with gnocchi and was so rich and fabulous. We had ordered a side of bread and I was dipping my bread in the brandy lobster sauce. Another diner ordered the scallops with sweet potato risotto, and I had the lazy lobster that came with risotto. I can't even begin to tell you how good all of them were. The food was excellent. My risotto had corn and was a little toothsome, a little more toothsome than the sweet potato risotto. The scallops came with a mashed avocado and roasted beets. My lazy lobster came with asparagus. It was all fabulous. Our server had a few too many tables, but all in all the service was good. I would highly recommend this restaurant.

    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.

    Boathouse Bistro is one of our favorite spots whenever we're in Boothbay Harbor. In a town full of…read moretourist-heavy restaurants, this place stands out, and we've tried quite a few. Prices are fair given the location (you are in Boothbay, after all), and the quality and portions make it feel worth it. We've been in both summer and winter, and it's been a great experience each time. In the colder months, the indoor tables with harbor views feel extra cozy. In the summer, their rooftop deck has one of the best views in town. Service has always been friendly and attentive, even during busy times. Our go-to is the haddock sandwich. They use these massive pieces of fish, and it's always cooked perfectly. We've had it both fried and blackened -- both are excellent!
