    My dish
    Stefanie S.

    This restaurant was recommended to us by two sources, including the motel we were staying at. It is right on the water, and has a large indoor and outdoor area. It was Saturday night and they had a great band playing outside. We ate outside and enjoyed the band. I ordered the Haddock special with carrots and mashed potatoes as a side. It was $25. I really enjoyed the dish, very delicious. My friend enjoyed her salad dish also. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is the service. Our server was very good, but the staff as a whole didn't seem that friendly. Nevertheless, I would come here again.

    We had a big group of 10 and the server was pretty nervous and seemed new but did a pretty good job considering. I got the lazy lobster and the lobster was so tender and delicious. I wish there had been more lobster (I always wish this) but what can you do. I also got a sun gria as my drink and it was huge and refreshing. Def a great price for the drink! I didn't think the clam chowder was anything to write home about but did enjoy the Caesar salad. If you like less dressing, this one isn't for you! It has stunning views so try to get there early to sit outside!

    Great place right on the water. The staff was super friendly and always had a positive attitude. The menu is great plenty to choose from. My 3 weeks in Bangor plus other trips in the past I have enjoyed this place for lunch and dinner. It is a casual laid back place. Great to get a group together or a nice date night. Definitely recommend. You have to try the bacon wrapped scallops you won't regret it

    We've been here a number of times and we never complain! High tide is our go to for lobster food but we have always enjoyed the various soups. Shout out to my favorite dish- the Lobster Mac and Cheese (drool). It's always a hearty portion with a good amount of lobster in the tasty mac and cheese. My ultimate comfort food in the cold Maine winters when I want to splurge. It's worth it! Came once for brunch which was delicious but don't think they offer that anymore :(

    The fettucine alfredo after I devoured the grilled shrimp.

    The service was friendly and attentive. The servers are young and they hustle! The food was really good!! The fettucine alfredo is "the best I've ever eaten" by far!! It was so cheesy and savory. Superb! Topped with a handful of grilled shrimp which were perfectly seasoned, I was a happy camper! My husbands hot lobster poboy was a bit dry. It needed a side of butter for dipping. Still delicious. Totally disappeared!!

    Not bad!! We arrived a bit late so the restaurant was a bit empty, the view was nice even tough it was nighttime, the food was great and the service ok, they were a bit busy picking up the terrace for closing so we struggled for simple things as getting silverware or our drinks refilled.

    Simple, but oh so good. Maine lobster

    Restaurant with a view! Lively with great service and fresh seafood. Get the lobster. No frills, just gorgeously cooked with drawn butter.

    Food was delicious and the overall feel of the restaurant was nice, definitely recommend sitting outside on a nice day! My only issue I encountered was I was told by my server that the chefs overcook food a little so I ordered a medium rare burger instead of a medium well, under the assumption that I would get a medium well and I actually got a medium rare which I did not want but that's what I was recommended by the server, and my fries were rather salty but overall a great experience!

    Clam chowder, apparently taken from a can!
    Tom M.

    The restaurant was fairly empty when I went around 5 PM which probably wasn't a good sign. It's part of a large building that also houses a dentist so that was a little bit unusual although the ambience looked really nice. At this point, you seat yourself, and there was a lot of empty tables so I sat in the back. It took a while for a waitress to greet me, but she was friendly. I had the lobster roll, clam chowder, and bacon wrapped scallops. It seems like most of the patrons were elderly, but it could've been the time of day. The lobster roll had mushy bread and wasn't very well toasted. None of the food tasted very fresh, which is why it probably came out so quickly. There wasn't much lobster in the roll, and the lettuce accompany was a little bland. The coleslaw seemed a little water down. The sweet potato fries were good, but not great. Very crispy however! The clam chowder was good, but also seemed like it was previously canned. The bacon was very dry although the scallops were super hot, indicative of a microwave. They had poured a maple syrup across the bacon, wrapped scallops, which tasted cheap. I had high hopes for this place, but walked away, thinking I could find much better food, especially for close to $73!

    Walked in and was super excited as we have been here before. Last time we were in Maine. when I discovered this place while visiting it was AMAZING the entire restaurant was packed. Fast forward to this time, we drive 2hours for Portland to Bangor just to eat here because last time it was amazing. And left such an impression on us. I walked in and was quit empty, there was a sign at the front that said "please sit yourself" I took the menus and walked me and my friend over the the table and ask him if it was okay (since I was being a host). A young lady came over and took our orders she wasn't very pleasant I had to ask her her name. She took our orders I order the wine and my friend ordered ginger ale which wasn't great so we sent it back and order coke. We realize it was Pepsi not coke at no point did she say we don't have coke we have Pepsi or is Pepsi okay? We asked about happy hour since we made it in time. She didn't know the prices of items said they were just going to be a bit cheaper. So we ordered the wings since she said it was $1 per wing later found out she charged us full price I was in such a rush to get out of there I didn't even notice it. My friend loved the lobster bisque last time that's why took the initiative of driving here, this time it was sour, seemed old in my friends opinion as I don't really care for lobster bisque. Safe to say this was truly disappointing.

Service was friendly and very knowledgeable. The drinks we got were great. Things to improve on: Priced a little high for what you get. Change the menu to much where they don't have anything on the menu you have to hear everything from the waitress which is hard to remember. We didn't try any food for the reason and for everything to be super pricey. I will be back to try again if I'm in the area, even if it's just for a drink!

The vibe is chill speakeasy/library; there's a comfy bar area with tables and then a warren of other little spaces where you can hang out as well, with books and games strewn about to peruse. I love that they have a small, curated menu, which makes it easy: Maine oysters (two kinds, both awesome) got me started with a martini (well OK two martinis; friendly bartender makes them *perfectly*), and then you can extend to dinner with a few rotating options. I got lucky because whoever is making this delicious food decided that bolognese and lasagna should have a baby and be served in a piping-hot dish with some bread and salad on the side, and who could be mad about that?! (NB get some red wine with it). And they feature the fabulous Maine martini (aka Allen's Coffee Brandy, to which I have been converted), so there's your perfect nightcap. Sometimes when you go to bars with small menus the food is so-so, but not here: everything was insanely good and the perfect portion size. Who knows when I'll be back in Bangor next, but I'll definitely come here again when I am. Check it out!

The ambiance is upbeat and medium loud. Medium to dim lit with 7 or so spots at the bar and then tables near window or in dining room. There are wine, beer, and cocktail options.
