Our server (Laura M) never missed a beat with our request to split the meal. The extra plates came automatically and with a smile. We had onion rings for appetizer. They were outstanding: lightly fried, wonderfully crunchy, and hot! The clams were likely the best I've ever had: wonderful sweet whole belly clams fried in clean oil in light batter. The sweet potato fries were perfect too. Oh and the raspberry iced tea--delicious! We left with a doggy bag and we'll be back next special occasion for sure.

Then I had to ask the waiter for the birthday cake. I just wish they had told him that it was going to be a birthday. Also, was no price on the menu for the cake.

Fast forward, we moved away to Arizona for 14 years before moving back to New England. Just had lunch at Darby's to celebrate our anniversary. It was perfect as always So often when you visit an old favorite it's not so wonderful anymore. But Darby's is the exception. Same charming and spotlessly clean interior, same amazing food and wonderful friendly service. Today, we started off with a bowl of French fries as an appetizer and they were fantastic! I had macaroni and cheese (without the Cheez It topping due to an allergy to orange cheese). My husband had the chicken pad Thai and he said it was fantastic just as it always has been in the past. The server was superb. My husband asked if the Mac and cheese was white cheese and learned it was so I ordered that explaining to the server that I was really happy that it was white cheese as I have an allergy to annatto which is in orange cheese. She immediately alerted me to the fact that they top their Mac and cheese with crumbled Cheez Its and asked if I'd like her to hold those off. It was really refreshing to have a server so aware of a likely issue with an ingredient for a customer. Just fantastic personalized service. Thank you! We will be back again next year. Loved every minute of our visit.

We weren't sure where to dine so walked around Belfast checking out shops and restaurants menus. We decided on Dockside and were delighted with the service and food.

Our waitress, Kate B, was one of the best servers we've ever had at a sit down restaurant. Suffice to say we thought Dockside had great service, great food, great atmosphere, at a great value, and we will dine there again when visiting Belfast Maine.

Diplomatic Community…read more Great boutique grocery store located in Downtown Belfast that has lots of locally produced fruits, veggies, and goods, like some locally-made kimchi we picked up that was fantastic. The Good: *It's important to note that since this is a "co-op," that it's a community-owned organization; anyone can apply to be an owner for $200/year which includes discounts and other benefits. *The store was clean, organized, and stocked with all manner of goodies. *Friendly employees The Meh: *Probably not a "complete" grocery store in regards to the products they carry, if that makes sense. Probably more in-line with a higher-end Trader Joe's than a typical grocery store. The Ugly: *Located in Downtown Belfast, the parking can always be a little dicey especially during the tourist season. Conclusion: Great grocery store to visit if you're staying nearby at an AirBnB and need some food stuff to cook up at home.

Our server was equally excellent- efficient, friendly, knowledgeable. Restaurant has a brick interior, very cute. We split the calamari which was very good and well portioned for two people to share.

Just too small and somewhat boring. I would never miss it if it wasn't offered. I had the chicken parm. It was fine and my husband had the bolognese, also fine.
