Thank goodness because we got the opportunity to tour and buy superfresh quality for such a reasonable price (current $8.99/lbs). After spending $26 for just one lobster roll, we decided to make our own veryrolls using Chipman's Wharf's ! Actually, this experience of making our own lobster rolls was a whole lot more memorable than eating at a restaurant, especially since we are touring Maine -- all thanks to the friendly service and from Chipman's Wharf!

First and foremost, the two stars are for the waitress and bartender/waitress who clearly were…read moreoverburdened and still killing it. We ordered the baked lobster dinner and while decent in taste of haddock stuffing in the baked whole lobster and size of it, it took entirely too long (35 minutes) , not because the kitchen was heavy on orders and lean on staff, it was audibly clear that there was way too much fooling around going on and not enough cooking. I worked in the oil and gas industry so cursing starts to become white noise to me, however, I felt uncomfortable for the elderly patrons and children present with all the F-bombs that were being announced from the kitchen and launched at the waitress. Clearly it is a favorite with locals (as evidence in the bar area) and I can see why with how great the servers/bartender are but the wait compounded by the inedible sides (a canned green bean, frozen veg mix with peppers that was intensely bitter and mashed potatoes that were clearly sitting in a warmer for too long just isn't worth a second trip. It was Saturday and apparently besides the slim pickings, everyone rolls up the sidewalk by 7 or 8 respectively so we went there by default, not design.

Crab Stew was the best crab soup we ever had; chock full with a ton af crab meat and a nice creamy, buttered broth. No potatoes. Lobster Risotto was baked in scallop shells topped with bread crumbs and was delicious. Regular menu included mussels as well as fried seafood and assorted burgers. A tall glass dessert case as you come in was very tempting but with soup, salad and Risotto we were filled to the gills. I wish we had the time to try it again this year.

Upgraded tables, expanded back area is great on terrific "downeast summer days". But the menu has shifted to "selling" more alcohol... pages of alcohol... and shrinking the food offerings to near "after thought"... it's not an attractive look. The help is still friendly. But our fried clam meals seemed meager... lacking in plump bellies... and the fries and onion rings glistened with grease. The managerial decisions feel "higher profit" motivated... Why not master a few great dishes and then rest on those laurels? You have a terrific harbor view... but the food should rise to that level.
