Blackened haddock sandwich special with chimichurri slaw and sauces
Ashley M.

Mixed feeling about this place. The food was cooked well and the service didn't take too long, but the best part is the view and seating area! The lobster was market price but we have since learned there are much cheaper places in the area to get lobster. The coleslaw on the other hand was a waste of time and energy on their part - cabbage with maybe a touch of mayo, not even enough to bind it and absolutely no flavor. The blackened haddock sandwich special on the other hand was much better. The bun was enough to support all of the ingredients they put on the sandwich, but really it didn't need all of that. The fish alone carried the show and a thinner bun with less toppings would have been well worth the $17 as it was so flavorful and a great portion. They do have a store to by their merchandise, ice cream and drinks available as well. A very nice spot to sit and eat outside

the perfect lunch!

Delicious with a great view. I went on the way back from a hike at Barred Owl Preserve.

Absolutely beautiful park to eat in, food looked great but tasted like a McDonald's fish fillet sandwhich, cost $80.

The food is fabulous!! The staff is friendly and attentive. And there is more than just lobster or clams they make a "mean" thick juicy burger as well as a super Deluxe BLT. Can't say enough about the Sweet Potato Fries that are heavenly. All of this with a great view of the Deer Isle Sedgwick Bridge over Eggemoggin Reach.

Yum!

Very casual place to just sit by the water and enjoy a great cold lobster roll or delicious steamers. Bring the kids for a nice selection of ice cream. Be prepared though for seasonal pricing. Lobster rolls are $25 and come with chips, pickle and slaw. Bring your own beer or wine!

My family is in the area looking at housing as I may be relocating for work. We come to MDI every year and were here 8 weeks ago. Now we are staying Downeast Just across the bridge from LDI. After house hunting, on our way back to the Oakland House Inn (another 5 star review), we decided to head across the bridge to Deer Isle for a late lunch. The setting is stunning! Beautiful grounds, nicely spaced out picnic tables, lots of shade, and incredible views. Far better views than any of the lobster pounds on MDI. The food- one word for a typical NE shack by the water- excellent! Best lobster roll I've had in the area, and I've tried many. Loaded with perfectly cooked lobster, a little mayo, and a bit if drizzled butter, all on a butter grilled bun- heaven! The ahi Tina sandwich with wasabi aioli was rare, spicy, and scrumptious with a perfectly toasted brioche bun. My kid's burger was medium, grilled well, and devoured in mere moments. To top it off, the sweet potato fries were crispy and nicely salted, along with horseradish spiced coleslaw made for great sides. I believe you can BYOB, so plan accordingly. We will, when we return tomorrow for an encore. It's a bit pricier than the other places of a similar ilk, but we felt it was worth it. After all, when on vacation it's only play money anyway.

This place was very charming! It had a swing for kids, it was friendly to dogs, it had delicious food and it had a beautiful view. We appreciated that each table has supplies for cleaning during these pandemic times. Great crab cakes!!

The lobster stand.

This is the very best lobster roll I've ever had. I've eaten lobster rolls wherever I find them. I've made my own. This is still the best. No filler, just unadulterated fresh lobster. Don't miss it if you are in the area.

We started with local oysters that were tasty and fresh. Then my husband had the cod with crispy rice and I decided to pick 2 starters as my mains; the tuna crudo and lobster hand roll. All great! Topped it off with a chocolate ganache with the most intense strawberry coulis I've tested in a while; it was fingerlicking good! All people we met were super friendly and helpful, so definitely would recommend stopping in Bucks restaurant when you're in the area.

Bright, clean,cheerful decor with Maine art on the walls. Our server who was pleasant, willing and very attractive just graduated from high school with no experience still did a terrific job of meeting all our needs. The food was beautiful and very tasty. My cod was poached in a bright acidic ponzo flavored sauce was cooked perfectly with the silken texture which is hard to achieve except with very exact cooking. It was served over cooked scallions and was one of the best things I have eaten this summer. Simple salad was fresh and perfect. 2 pieces of toasted sourdough bread was an extra charge. Lasangna was vegetarian with a slightly spicy fresh tomato sauce and a generous portion attractively presented. For dessert we has a outstanding grapefruit sorbet and a luscious blueberry sauced tres leches cake. We had an overall great experience and the new young and friendly owners have done a wonderful transformation of well beloved restaurant.

We've visited Aragosta Restaurant on Deer Isle, Maine before... but always in Autumn. This year,…read moreJuly's "Ode to Summer" menu mostly featured lighter seafood dishes, and why not? It doesn't get any more "New England Seafood" than the Deer Isle / Stonington areas. This was a remarkable experience from start to finish. The staff is mostly very young, friendly, yet well-polished. The room and the views are gorgeous. And we loved every bite. Take a look at the treats Chef Devin Finigan and her team presented: TASTE OF LOCAL SEAWEED - Nori Tamagoyaki, Laver & Toasted Sesame Cracker, Fried Dulse THE COLD SEA - Aragosta Oyster - Green Apple, Fennel & Thai Basil Juice, Fresh Apple / Maine Fluke Crudo - Lemon Verbena Kombucha, Fresh Local Strawberry, Cucumber Granita / Maine Peekytoe Crab - Corn Croustade with Crab Salad, Butter Poached Claw PEN BAY SCALLOP - Cultured Butter with Aleppo Chili and Dulse cooked over the Hearth (I'm told the butter will be featured in their Cookbook, coming soon) LOBSTER BAKE - Stonington Lobster, Hominy, Charred Corn, Lobster Butter & Chives Topped with Corn & Espelette Espuma - with Old Bay Waffle Chips GOLDEN BEET - Fountain Farm Golden Beet Soup, Pickled Blueberry, Duck Fat, House Creme Fraiche, Nasturtium Green Puree - with Fennel Pollan Focaccia & House Sumac Ricotta AGNOLOTTI - Stonington Lobster Agnolotti, Mascarpone, Gremolata, Beurre Blanc, Pea Shoot Salad FRIED DEER ISLE CLAMS - Seasoned Cornmeal Dredge, Gochugaru Aioli, Fine Line Farm Cucumber & Baby Courgette, Sesame Vinaigrette, Red Orach COD - Maine Cod, Vadouvan Curry with Coconut Milk & Lime Leaf, Flowering Cauliflower, Sugar Snaps, Green Beans STRAWBERRY - Local Strawberry & Anise Hyssop Sorbet, Olive Oil Mousse ZUCCHINI BREAD - Puff Pastry, Zucchini Pastry Cream, Charred Corn Custard, Sweetened Ricotta, Zucchini Jam, Thyme Flowers, Elderflowers, Micro Basil What a meal!
