We've been searching for lobster stew. Not bisque not chowder but stew. We came to Ocean point…read morebecause they have lobster stew on the menu.. and it has a fabulous view. It's a little bit of a hike from Boothbay Harbor about 15 minutes, but the scenery is gorgeous. We got a table overlooking the water. We ordered lobster stew, and a Caesar salad salad. The Caesar salad was good, nothing really earth shattering about it however the lobster soup which they call a stew but it's not really a stew was divine. Very creamy and rich but not cloyingly so. It is not a very big restaurant and we were here for lunch.

We stayed at Ocean Point and ate both breakfast and dinner here. I was surprised at how good the…read morefood was. I wasn't as impressed with the resort and friends said to give restaurant a try. Wow. It was some of my favorite meals. We had to make reservations for dinner which seemed odd until we came for our dinner and all tables were filled. I had the crab an fish cake sandwich and fry. The sandwich loaded with crab was amazing. Fries crisp and tasty. The rest of the table was pleased as well. One morning me and my friend picked up breakfast sandwiches and sat outside in the chairs overlooking the water. Great food. A must try.

This was my least favorite food experience on my recent trip to the Northeast. C chose it, let's…read morehope she misses reading this review. Miserable is the best way to describe my experience. I was already in a foul mood, walking in here set me into straight sensory overload. It's a bar where they sing. I am unable to get inebriated enough to enjoy bars where they sing any longer. Call me miserable, maybe I suppose. In addition to the merry old fella belting it out on the mic, we had the joy of having some drunk guy in a large group behind us try and out sing him without a microphone. He even challenged the old guy singing to a form of a duel. Anyway I was so off, I cannot remember anything about my server at all. Nothing. I do remember almost screaming and running out. I sat there trying not to lose it while my wife had the time of her life. Every song made it worse, everyone else is singing, I am dying. When the guy took a break, guess what, dickhead from the crowd goes up and takes over. Shots helped at this point and the weed is kicking in well at this point. Now I'm hungry... My food was inedible and I'm pretty sure incomplete as well. The worst flatbread in the history of flatbreads. C's looked pretty good actually so I am sure her experience was quite different than mine. I hope to never return. '25 - extra

It's just a tiny little shack on the side of the road (we missed it first time around and had to circle the roundabout), but do they ever serve up the right stuff! They serve a huge -- really huuuuge -- portion of fresh, crispy haddock with homemade tartar and lemon dill sauces. It's not a plate of fish, it's a BOWL of fish, And it comes with crunchy fries, also a big serving. We think that may ruiined us for anyone else's haddock for a long, long time. There are picnic tables for your dining and a small parking area. Oh, it's also cash only, so come prepared. Our thanks to all the Yelpers who have recommended Bet's; we're delighted to join the crowd.

That's how popular and good this place is. Finally, after two years of trying, we were able to enjoy the amazingly delicious fish fry that everyone raved about. The batter was light and flavorful... And the fish was cooked to perfection. Not one millimeter was overcooked or overly seasoned. The ladies who make this food know what they're doing, and it's been worth every single attempt. I also love the outdoor seating and the picnic benches as it only adds to the experience. I look forward to trying it again. Next time I visit Boothbay, Maine. Yum!

We had the shrimp basket with fries and seaweed salad along with a clam basket with blueberry cole slaw and fries, with a side order of onions rings. The shrimp and clams were tasty and oil free - we appreciated that as sometimes (at other places) they are greasy and not very good. The blueberry cole slaw was a fresh alternative to the pretty flavorless version you get at many other places. The homemade onion rings were the highlight of the meal - it is hard to find handmade onion rings and especially ones with just the right amount of batter (sometimes they seem to be in armor plate). I wish the fries were just as good; they were ok built didn't match the excellent options on the ret of the menu. If homemade fries would be too hard to make, maybe they could buy thinner fries that cook and crisp up more quickly and reliably. It would also be good to have the option of a flavored salt

Booth Decay FKA "The…read moreBoothbay Region Lobstermen's Co-Op," is an actual working Lobster Dock that also happens to have a fast-casual restaurant and bar. We arrived after a day at the nearby Botanical Garden and were ready for our first Lobstah Roll back in Maine. The Good: *Happy Hour daily 3 - 5 p.m. *Clam Chowder was fine, but I thought it should be thicker for my liking. Carissa thought it was fine fwiw. *Fairly large parking lot that could get filled during busier times of the year, but parking was plentiful upon our visit. *Full bar with everything from spirits to local micro and macro brews on tap. *Amazing views from their dog-friendly outdoor dining. They also have some indoor dining upstairs during inclement weather. The Meh: *Service wasn't friendly at all from the order or pickup booth. In fact, I'd say it was downright sassy-- and not in a good way. When we asked for our lobster buttered and not dressed (i.e., mayo) we got a giant eyeroll from the maître d'. Why she cares is beyond me, since she's not doing much beyond taking orders. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ *The bartender was slightly better service-wise, but she tends to disappear and you have to wait around for her to re-appear. *Fries were whatever, but at least they were cheap. *The Lobster was overcooked and chewy, which is disappointing. However, we will say they were very generous with the Lobster itself, as we both got fairly large pieces of claws. Pro Tip: If two people want a regular Lobster roll, you're better off ordering the large and splitting it. I'm pretty sure the large was at least double the meat of the regular, and it was only $10 more. *The roll they use for the roll didn't really hold up to the moisture, as it was fairly soggy by the time it reached our table. The Ugly: *They really have the gall to charge $2 for a tablespoon of melted butter. As if paying $40-50 for a sandwich isn't enough... 0_o Conclusion: Below avg lobstah roll with great views but grumpy Gus service. Hard pass.
