I think the ambience of this place is absolutely gorgeous, especially because of where it's located right on the beach you see it from all angles. However, the service was just like lack luster. We just got takeout and we had to go inside to the bar and we didn't seem to really want to help us. They just gave us a menu and then forgot all about us until I wouldn't tell somebody that would help us about 10 minutes later. We just got takeout and we got only the chicken fingers And they were pretty good. Wish they came with some sort of sauce though but overall it was pretty good and not a bad alternative. read more

Best restaurant and lobster roll out of the 6 restaurants I went to during my week in Ogunquit. The "Colossal Lobster Roll" was by far the best. It was chock full of at least 5 lobsters worth of fresh claw and knuckle meat. I had to use a fork. Usually I wouldn't even give french fries a second thought but their fries are out of this world. They have some sort of seasoned crispy coating goodness on them that are an unusual stand-out in a world of frozen fries. The lobster bisque was also delicious and had whole claw and knuckle meat in it as well. My Dark & Stormy cocktail was strong and perfect for a rainy day. The place is clean, modern and stylish with a great view of the river. The bartender (short girl with blonde hair) was awesome and seemed genuinely happy to be there (unlike the other places I visited in Ogunquit). I wish this restaurant was located in my town. I would be a regular for sure. read more

This place is a MUST if u are inOgunquit. It's really a very large log cabin structure with picnic tables throughout. Excellent service, especially considering the number of tables that need servicing. They open at 5pm. I recommend arriving earlier because they don't take reservations and the huge parking lot was full at 5:05. Also you get a better selection of lobsters if you arrive at openings. read more

Visited here for dinner July 16th with my sister. We were seated in the back of the restaurant where the faux leather seats were dingy & dirty. The tables weren't cleared & there was food left on the seats & tables. Our waitress was not attentive & at one point my sister had to go and search for her & found her in back of the hostess station rummaging through her purse. The cold lobster roll was room temperature & I was afraid to eat it, but our waitress heard none of it & did not care that I wasn't happy with it, she told me that's just how it is. She did not come back to our table to check on us, take a dessert order or freshen our drinks after that - another waitress (very courteous & friendly) finished our service. At one point 2 servers came over to open the banquet seating right next to me to get access to their storage and wanted me to move to accommodate them as I'm trying to eat my $100 room temperature lobster roll. Also during our entire meal a worker was sweeping the floor in our area with a regular broom kicking up dirt while we're trying to eat. Skip eating here & go to The Oarweed in Perkins Cove - much better food & service!! read more

Definitely overrated. It was okay but had no flavor. Not many gluten free options either.

Lovely place. Delicious food. Attentive server, even though the poor girl was slammed while we were there! She took great care of us. Really enjoyed our experience there. read more

Stopped here for a quick bite in between lunch and dinner. Reservations are highly recommended but if you're okay with sitting at the bar it's open seating and it's just what we did. Being right by the beach it gets quite busy and you could be waiting a while if you don't want to sit at the bar. I find it to be like express service wherever you go. We ordered drinks and got them within 5 minutes. I got the painkiller and it hit the spot for boozy and tropical which seems fitting for the setting. It wasn't too sweet .. was just right. After we got our drinks we put in our orders, I got the fried oysters and a bowl of lobster bisque. They both came out within 6 minutes or less. The oysters were amazing. The sauce underneath was a sweet, savory, with a touch of spicy which paired well with each oyster that was fried perfectly crispy and not over breaded. The lobster bisque .. just OMG. When it came out, the bowl size is just ginormous almost like a bathtub I could hop in lol. The bisque was creamy reminiscent texture of a New England style clam chowder. The taste was a touch fishy mixed with almost a very light creamy tomato soup with herbs and spices that meld well together and don't overpower. The real treat was the chunks of lobster inside. I had 3 whole claws and a couple knuckles in there. Soo delicious, I would definitely get it again. The ambiance was bright and modern, neutral cool tones that invite the beautiful sunlight in. I didn't get to go upstairs but they do have a rooftop deck and a small patio off the side of the restaurant overlooking the water. There is no parking so you'd have to park at the beach parking lot. As with most of the restaurants in Ogunquit by the beach don't offer parking. read more

We went here prior to a show. Got there right at noon when they opened and was seated by the window overlooking the water. The blueberry beer was very good. The clam chowder was just okay. The steamers were great but who puts chives on steamers?!?!. It is a small place but have a bar. read more

The food is solid with great attentive service. The clam chowder was amazing. The lobster roll was great.

Nice beach location with water views. My wife enjoyed a traditional boiled lobster. The Cioppino was delicious. Prices are reasonable.

I got a burger but it looked like a burnt meatball. I was mad but then guess what... chicken butt. Always they gave me a real burger after and it tasted good. The service was good. W Elisha she was nice give her more money please. read more

Very nice beach front restaurant in Ogunquit! Always recommend a bug repellent since this restaurant is located on the water. Staff was very friendly and attentive. Food was tasty. Wish the fried oysters were a larger portion but it was worth it. Scallops were a bit overcooked but again the flavor was there. Cocktails were nothing special and a bit overpriced. Would highly recommend to visit! read more

Ordered oysters on the half. Decent Lobster bisque and seafood stew - didn't like either stew was really thin with minimal seafood. Bisque was like eating nacho cheese sauce one piece of lobster. Lobster roll was good and plentiful Lobster plate was good. Cooked well. Service was mediocre at best. Miriam looked like she'd rather be anywhere else . The other servers around were cheerful and helpful. View was nice read more

This casual restaurant on the beach features a delicious seafood menu! I usually get the lobster roll with warm butter & I love their crunchy fries! Lobster bisque and clam chowder are both very good. Not to mention excellent service from start to finish! Thank you to fabulous the hostess and server. Last but certainly not least thank you to the kitchen staff for preparing our delicious food! read more

Nice lobster dinners with a great view of the tidal river, with inside and outdoor seating.

I have been here many times for the large lobster roll and it has been delicious. We went there 3 times last year, 3 times in Juneand unfortunately only once in September. In the past, the lobster was always fresh and you could see the lobster meat. Now, the mix it beforehand and it does not taste fresh and we did not enjoy it at all. the additives were awful. What a shame because we loved this place and now will not be going back anymore. They should never cut corners. read more

Sat upstairs, outside along the water. I ordered the fried clam plate. Plenty of food, but the clams were small. The jalapeño marg wasn't spicy at all. Our server was good, but it took a long time to get our food. There were maybe 5 parties up stairs. Either way, I would still go back. The lobster rolls I saw looked bomb. I'll try that next time! read more

We decided we wanted to try dinner at this modern waterfront restaurant. The interior is modern and airy, with views of the Ogunquit River. Though this restaurant is modern and bright, still our dining experience was peaceful. Our first night for dinner was a hit. We decided to split their house salad- a very generous portion of salad greens, sliced cucumbers, and grape tomatoes (yes, split this). We followed this with an equally copious serving of mussels, nicely steamed in a garlic broth, served with toasted garlic bread slices. Then we split their fisherman's platter with it's fried scallops, haddock, and crispy fried clams. On a second night, we again split their salad. But we ordered their lobster roll platter, with a lobster roll stuffed with large fresh lobster chunks. Also ordered a cioppino, a generous serving of haddock, mussels, shrimp. scallops, and corn-on-the-cob in a richly flavored tomato-based broth, served with four slices of toasted garlic bread. Fantastic! Wine pours each night were generous, and the service was friendly and accommodating. When in Ogunquit, we want to put this on the list for places to enjoy dinner. read more

We stopped in ogunquit to have some lobster by the beach on our way to Boston. We walked around town waiting for the restaurant to open up at noon for lunch bc it looked like it had the best menu. So happy we waited. My bf and I both ordered lobster bisque to start which came with huge chunks of lobster. We then got two lobster rolls one cold and one got. I will say the hot buttered one was way better than cold but that's personal preference. Our waiter was also so sweet and fast! 10/10 loved having lunch here! read more

Loved everything about the place. Even went back for lunch the next day. We had lobster and the filet, both were just right. read more

Not sure why this place doesn't have more stars on Yelp. I had the lobster grilled cheese and it was excellent. It had a good amount of fresh lobster and the fries were good too. Clam chowder was better than most places around Ogunquit. It is right next to the water so ambiance was great too. Best of all was the attentive staff who checked on us every few minutes to make sure we were having a great experience. read more

Food, service, and location are great. Both inside and large outside dining capacity make this a great spot. read more

We had walked the beach and were ready for a nice lobster themed lunch - not necessarily a whole lobster but definitely a good lobster roll. We were not disappointed. This restaurant is just off the beach with a great location looking north up the inland water way. The staff were very accommodating and polite. The service was quick and friendly and the lobster rolls were fresh and tasty - including a side of fries and a fresh cole slaw. The tables are nicely spaced, the fixtures are new, and the bathrooms are clean. And you won't be bombarded with loud music. I even got the waiter to get our fancy ceiling fan going. They looked cool but it wasn't spinning. Now it is! read more

Great location, amazing views, especially during high tide when the estuary behind Ogunquit beach starts to fill up and you see paddle boarders SUP'ers and kayakers all float by you. This place can be great if the people around you are also chill. If on the the other hand, you're surrounded by 20-something drinkers and obnoxious partiers, you'll have a miserable time here. I thought about getting a lobster roll here but nixed it after I saw that they had Cioppiono on the menu here. I remember another glorious fish and shellfish stew I had called Brodetto, back on the Oregon coast a few years ago and given that Cioppino and Brodetto are kind of similar, I thought I would give the Copping a shot. My mistake. The broth was too much tomato sauce flavour, not enough wine and herbs and garlic, the bread it came with had no garlic butter on it at all and the Cioppino itself had rolls of corn and hardly any clams, shrimps and mussels. Not cool. The waitresses and servers were nice, but there's definitely room for improvement. read more

Beautiful views ! Bartender was lovely . There was an understandable wait for a table for 8. No problem . A member of our table asked " lobster bisque or sea food stew".., quick response, seafood stew... the whole table disliked it as being too " clove " foreword. The same waitperson who recommended it then agreed When she asked how our dinner was, we gave her our honest feedback ..,. Some great, Some fair , some not so good... then never saw her again. Bill delivered by another staff person Sadly , much good but the customer satisfaction loop was never closed ....poor staff training ,, Much potential, but poor execution.... read more

Anybody that gives this place less than a five-star rating, should be doomed to having the michelobster at McDonald's forever. Absolutely the best scallops wrapped in bacon and fish tacos I've ever had. And for what it's worth I was born and raised in Gloucester mass, so I know fish this is another one of the restaurants in Ogunquit that's worth the drive and worth the wait if there is one. read more

Delicious! I had the Lobster dinner which come with steamers and corn. My husband had the filet mignon. The lobster dinner came with delicious blueberry pie and I added vanilla ice cream.(absolute necessity) Wait staff is super and the food is reasonably priced for what you get. We are from Southampton NY so the prices seem reasonable everywhere we go comparatively. Highly recommend this place. read more

Facebook says open 12-8, at 330 was told they were "closed" as they switched over to dinner. Makes no sense, just give us the dinner menu and let us get our drinks. Wanted us to wait outside until 4. Pass. Update your info online read more

So, the good is it was close to the beach. We stopped by on our way back to our motel that was about a mile away. We walker here from the Footbridge. The menu looked great, we stopped closer to 7PM near closing (8PM) and got a great table overlooking the river. The atmosphere was awesome. We each ordered a glass of wine, and we were upsold to a bottle which was totally ok. That was the end of a great experience. We ordered two appetizers that never arrived, we did get our clam chowder which was just OK, and some lobster sliders, again good. Not delivered were our oysters or our lobster rangoons. Staff seemed focused on closing time. Waitress was nice and apologetic, and we said that's OK and just remove them from our bill which she did. Waitress noted that that the staff ate the rangoons, and that they were not very good. - Bill came, and was accurate, with the removed items. I signed and tipped 15%, usually I tip 20+% but, but well the waitress didn't follow up on the apps. - When I was leaving I checked my wallet and I was missing my credit card, our vacation card. I went back and asked them to check the bill holder and the table area, and they couldn't find it. Honestly not sure the waitress brought it back. I was able to turn off the card. Just make sure you get your card back. read more

Looking for great service? Keep looking, my friend! Look--I get it. I've done my time working in the service industry. But it really grinds my gears when I get terrible service for no reason. I can't speak to the quality of the food or beverages at this establishment...because we were never served. After waiting for over 20 minutes for a very unprofessional bartender to even ACKNOWLEDGE us, we got the message and walked out the door. A kind waitress took pity on us and attempted to help after noticing we'd been sitting there for a long time without anyone even greeting us. She even spoke to the bartender to let her know we were waiting. Several minutes later, she still had yet to even glance in our direction. She finally made eye contact and offered a snide smile ONLY when we walked past her on our way out the door. Yuck. I realize it's tough right now to find good, reliable workers to staff restaurants, but this individual was beyond. I'm not one to leave negative reviews...but I'm also not the type to walk out of a place after a laughable amount of time without so much as an acknowledgement. It was both rude and unnecessary. They weren't even that busy. Even a basic greeting or "Hi! I'll be with you soon" would have made a world of difference. People that rude and incompetent have no business being in the service industry. read more

My husband and I walked the marginal way and wanted to try the Ogunquit Beach Lobster house. We got there at 11.45 and it doesn't open until noon. So we went to Splash where the bartender was awesome. Then we went back to The Ogunquit Beach Lobster House. The young gentleman greeting us told us we couldn't sit upstairs. He wasn't friendly. Didn't communicate well. Didn't take our name. My husband went upstairs and all the seats were vacant except for two. The greeter came upstairs and told us we would have to wait 45 minutes. So we left. We are sitting at Surf 360. Having a beautiful lunch. Looking at ocean. Friendly and attentive waitress. It's sad that the Lobster House didn't need our business so we will spend $200 elsewhere. read more

Beautiful views for every seat in the house! The clam chowder was not my favorite. It was a huge bowl and did come with a strong portion of clams. Just not my style. The lobster salad came with a very generous portion of lobster and I am told by my salad expert the green stuff was fresh and chopped nicely. The steamer appetizer was a large bowl and the cleanest steamers I have ever had. I rank them top 5 all time. I was extremely pleased. The place isn't cheap but if you're willing to pay extra for better this is worth a stop on your way back from the beach. read more

Still dreaming of this meal - we were able to put our names in for a waitlist text so we could explore the beach and work up an appetite for the feast we were about to enjoy. The service was spectacular and the views on the deck were amazing. I highly recommend the blood orange margaritas - a very generous pour and it paired quite nicely with all the delightful seafood. We basically ordered a bit of everything and all of it was absolutely superb! Worth the wait 100% read more
