Truly incredible. I never get to order bao buns because of the gluten, so getting a lobster roll and bao bun in one was incredible. We were at table of 5 and only ordered a drink and a lobster roll each, but I think our order was forgetting because it took a really long time for the lobster rolls to come out, our server was awesome he randomly brought us a gf/df coconut brownie! It was so delicious. We had a great time here and will be coming back.

I'll start with the good - if I had just gotten the oysters, I'd have given this place four or even five stars. The oysters were a delight and the service was really great. I did wait a little and it is unclear how to queue up / if you leave your name at the front or just line up, but that was whatever. I was really just disappointed by everything else I got - the scallop waffleyaki, tuna crudo, and brown butter lobster roll, all listed from most to least disappointing. For the price point, I expect a much higher quality of food and seafood and found it disappointing. I had better meals elsewhere in Maine.

We were seated on the top level and ordered lobster rolls, of course. The lobster meat was huge and fresh, and so good! I recommend the lobster trio, the crab roll was actually my favorite. The views are amazing! We saw local fishermen/lobstermen(?) and saw boat tours go in and out. The sun was perfect! Staff is kind, shoutout to them during busy months! And the place is clean. If there isn't a lobster spot on your list, add this one.

The restaurant is larger than it looks since there's a second seating area too. I'd recommend the Flight of mini lobster rolls (3x 2oz lobster rolls), which can be chilled or warmed. Prices are fair, at about $20 a lobster roll. Their ghee butter add another level to their lobster rolls and they don't skimp on meat! Definitely try out the Highroller and maybe get some of their iconic merch.

There was a…read moreline waiting for tables even though it was only 5:30pm on a Saturday - this place is popular. And for good reason! The food was insanely delicious!! We snagged an open spot at the bar and was immediately greeted by the one-and-only, Eddie. He was fun, kind, attentive and entertaining. We started with the caesar salad, which was good and had a nice lemony finish. I ordered the baked haddock and the hubs ordered the blackened fish sandwich. The sandwich was good but the baked haddock was a clear winner (not that it was a competition!) The baked haddock had a panko crust and smothered in a tomato wine sauce over puréed potatoes. To. Die. For! My husband isn't a huge fish lover and he basically stole my plate. He loved it - and so did I! Highly recommend. Overall, if you're in Portland, make it a point to dine at Dry Dock. P.S. don't let the wait time deter you. This place is big and they were sitting people quickly. And if you have a chance, grab a seat at the bar with Eddie. He's good people!

Great views of the water if you're upstairs, and spacious seating downstairs. Lovely wine and drink menu, and it's very clean.

Hands down one of the best seafood spots in Portland, especially for the price!…read more My husband and I are big seafood lovers, so we had to stop here during our trip. We started with the fish chowder since they didn't have clam chowder. This was probably the only dish that felt average to me, although my husband really enjoyed it. Everything else was a completely different story. The raw seafood was so fresh. We tried the oysters, clams, scallops, and spoons, and every bite tasted clean, fresh, and high quality. The prices were also surprisingly reasonable compared to a lot of other places serving similar seafood. For our entrees, we both went with the hot butter lobster roll. It was classic, simple, and exactly what I expected a good lobster roll to taste like. For the price, I definitely think it was worth it. The restaurant has a casual, laid back ambiance, which fits perfectly with the no frills seafood experience. It's a great spot if you're looking for something relaxed rather than fancy. Service was attentive, friendly, and overall great. If you're in Portland and craving seafood without wanting to spend a fortune, I highly recommend giving this place a try!

I really liked both the Picnic and Connecticut! The rolls came with a tiny piece of lemon, but I did feel like the rolls needed more acidity. I felt like those were pretty classic flavors that let the flavor of the lobster speak for itself! The bread was super fluffy and buttery, a really nice pairing with the sweet lobster mixture. One thing I didn't like was that the bread could've been cut a bit deeper so I didn't need to take a bit of the lobster and then a bite of the bread. A single bite would've made the experience better.

Heaven forbid anyone in your party is running late because none of you will be seated until everyone is there. Super fun!!! When we were seated, I had the server station a couple feet behind me with staff calling loudly to one another. The expensive wine they served us was bad. Should have been sent back. The lobster bisque had an unpleasant taste, was overpoweringly creamy, and what little lobster was in it was not fresh and was mushy. I can't even remember what I had for a main course (Maine course?). Unremarkable. One of the salads with blue cheese in it was okay. Some of my compatriots got the stew which is a bouillabase type dish with various shellfish and some fish in it along with a tomato base with a little kick to it. Not bad. The desserts are solid. Can't go wrong with a sundae. They also have Indian pudding which is a regional dish and interesting to try. Not sure if it needs to be renamed for current norms? Other people in our group enjoyed the meal. Lining up and standing around waiting to get into hyped up noisy places with mediocre expensive food, some of it nearly inedible in this case, is always in fashion somewhere. Have at it. I'm out.

Once you are seated, you're handed a paper menu on which you mark your selections, then bring that marked-up menu to the counter, where you order and get a number. Food is brought up to you, and you can order subsequent rounds of food by crossing out previous orders and marking up the menu anew. I would highly recommend multiple rounds of oysters -- the first to try one of each and figure out which varieties you prefer, the second to get more of the ones you like, and the last to go all in on your favorite. They've got a varied selection that will suit various tastes, whether you favor a large creamy oyster, a small briny guy, or somewhere in between. All from Maine, which made me feel better about having oysters in a non-ber month. The oysters here are top notch, and the shuckers are, too. Not a single speck of shell in there! I love oysters, and this was my paradise. The non oyster items are also worth trying, so if you have a friend who isn't into oysters, there's something here for them, too. The smoked fish dip and french onion dip are awesome, and the chips they get from another local producer are fantastic. Whether you're a beer lover, a wine person, or a cocktailer, they've got something for you here. Any of those could be the perfect company for your favorite oyster, or you could go for their cucumber mint lemonade slushy, which is insanely refreshing and a great palate cleanser between oysters. Service is efficient, welcoming, and friendly. I think anyone from an oyster novice to an aficionado would feel right at home here. If I didn't live on the opposite side of the country, I'd be here all the time. Unfortunately for me, I'm relegated to pining for these oysters from a distance. If you live nearby, take advantage of your proximity and eat some oysters for me.
