I ordered a bagel sandwich (I think it was called the Gardener) that came with jalapeno cream cheese, sprouts, red onion, and tomato ( I got it without the tomato). You order at the counter and they were nice enough to bring our food out to our table after we sat down. My sandwich was very tasty. The jalapeño cream cheese was actually a little spicy, which I loved. The only reason I'm eating four stars instead of five is the price - I just think $12 for what is essentially a bagel with cream cheese is a little ridiculous. For that reason, I don't think I would come back, even though the food was good.

One important heads-up: they are cash or check only, so make sure you come prepared. Overall, a really solid, comforting meal and a place I'd definitely recommend if you're in the area.

Maybe because their reviews have indicated poor service, we experienced over-service: the floor manager checked in with us three times to see how we were doing in a rather obsequious manner which was very off-putting. Our very friendly server checked in with us 15 times (!) so much so that it was a bit irritating as she kept interrupting our conversation. I think that's about 7-8 times too many check-ins over the course of a 1.5 hour dinner. Now to the food which was all VERY expensive: - popover and butter (complementary) - 4/5 - clam chowder - 3/5, $13 for a cup of chowder is a LOT to pay and while i did enjoy the flavor overall, there was an addition (not mentioned in the chowder description) of a swirl of chili oil on the side of the chowder. I did not mix it into the chowder and realized later when I had a burning sensation across the middle of my tongue that it likely from a line of chili oil. This was not a pleasant sensation and for a while I wondered if I was having an allergic reaction to the chowder. It subsided after about half an hour. I'm not sure why adding chili oil to New England clam chowder is a good thing and it also wasn't listed as an ingredient on the menu. If there had been no chili oil, I would have given the chowder a 5/5 for flavor. - 2025 Claw Down Winner Lobster Bite - 4/5, $18 is a LOT to pay for a tiny silver dollar pancake with some creme and a few bites of lobster on top. Maybe it's the caviar that drives that price but I did not think it was worth the cost (but it did meet my goal of having lobster every day in Maine) - goat cheese and peach salad - 5/5, I loved the tiny little fried goat cheese balls and the ratio of goat cheese to spring lettuce to peaches was good with a light dressing. I would have liked a little more greens and a little less radicchio in the spring lettuce ratio though. - halibut - 4/5, it was a sizable portion of halibut with mashed potatoes and sauteed spinach. Half of the halibut was done well and flavorful, the edges composing the other half though was rather dry and lacking in flavor. Curious. - scallops - 5/5, five scallops which were very flavorful with a celery puree and three halves of a baby carrot. Delicious but minimalist for sure in its size and presentation. this was the best item we had along with the salad. Note 1: we saw all the other tables receive an amuse bouche which looked like a shooter of something but despite all the check-ins from the floor manager and our server we somehow did not receive the amuse bouche. Note 2: It was chilly so we changed our reservation last minute to move into the dining room as opposed to sitting on the deck, which we were very glad about as it did not appear they have any heaters on the deck which we definitely had in the past times we've dined on the deck when it wasn't even as cold as 60 degrees (as it was last night) For the price and over-service (my husband tried to avoid engaging with the floor manager for the third time when we exited the restaurant but we were intercepted), and good but not great food, I'm not sure we'll be making a point to return to Coastal Prime next time we're in town.

I'm so glad i stumbled into this quaint spot. I was in the mood of a pastry and a coffee and was able to snag a bar seat at the counter since it can get pretty packed with it being such a small space. The coffee was excellent and free refills and self serve. I went for the apple fritter which i think was as big as my head, as the wonderful woman at the counter suggested it. This pastry was the absolute best apple fritter i have ever had. I don't expect something so large and from a vietnamese bakery to be so amazing since i don't correlate apple fritters with Vietnamese food. But i will from now on!!! Perfect crispy glazed exterior and when I say a pillowy inside i mean it was the most softest bread i've ever had. I could only eat part of it and then i took the rest home and air fried it to heat it up and it was just as good if not better!!! I would also love to give a shout out to the hospitality and service. The wonderful woman working the front is extremely well organized and so sweet to everyone. The folks working in the back even come out to greet you when they get a chance! I loved how cozy and quaint it was and will definitely come back for some classic Vietnamese dishes the next time i am in the area! A must try!!

We ordered the peach and watermelon salad as an appetizer while the watermelon and the dressing were amazing. I swear the peaches were canned. That was very disappointing. 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.
