We stopped here for lunch while we were exploring town and I'm really glad we did. I had the burger and fries, and my friend got the grilled chicken sandwich with the broccoli salad. Both of our meals were really good and service was quick! My favorite part was the outdoor patio. The weather couldn't have been better, and it was a perfect place for lunch before walking around the rest of town.

While visiting with our dog, we walked by this place often. The hostesses loved our little dog and gave her lots of attention. They also had fudge samples. We returned for dinner and sat outside with the dog. She immediately got her own bowl of water. They also have dog menus which include plain grilled chicken or hamburger. We got our dog a bowl of fruit, watermelon and blueberries. She didn't eat much because she was too occupied with other dogs or people paying attention to her. My husband got his lobster roll and was happy when the waitress offered it hot and buttered rather than cold with mayo. It made his night. My BBQ chicken flatbread was really good. Before we left we got more fudge samples. Service was great. Food was good. Dog friendly, a big help!

Fish and chips

From the lobster bisque to the Haddock Fish and Chips to wine be disappointed. The service we received was more than we expected. Mike at the bar was very welcoming and attentive. Yes it was a tad slow, but our overall experience was great!

Caesar Salad

First the ambience... beautifully appointed. Then the server...very attentive. Then the food... soo delicious. Chef grade A. Finally the price-that was a shocker... extremely reasonable. Highly recommended.

3.5 stars. When we visited the restaurant had a bit of a stressed atmosphere. We started at the bar while we waited for our table. The bar tender was very irritated by the amount of activity and made that clear to us as we sat down. We were at the bar for about ten minutes. My wife received her drink, but I had to wait an additional twenty minutes after being seated before I received mine. I felt bad for our waitress as she made several attempts to get my drink. Beyond that, we sat outside at a fire table which was a unique experience (in a good way). Food was excellent as were the drinks, but the stress level from the staff degraded the experience.

Menu

Lovely restaurant in the heart of Ogunquit. Diverse menu, with many options for seafood, meat and some vegetarian options. We didn't want a big dinner, so opted for soup and salads. Lobster bisque very filling and hearty was served with croutons. The clam chowder was well done and filling. We included lobster meat on the salad which made it a full meal! After dinner fudge was a great touch! We sat on the patio, next to a fire pit to take out some of the evening chill. The restaurant is positioned next to a very busy street, so it was noisy. Service was great and with a smile. Overall a positive experience.

A complimentary dessert

The restaurant has a beautiful atmosphere, both inside and out. Based on the setting and appearance, we expected a more upscale dining experience, but unfortunately the food didn't live up to those expectations. I ordered the broccoli salad with shrimp. The shrimp was well cooked and flavorful, but the broccoli salad tasted like something you'd find at a supermarket deli rather than a restaurant at this price point. My partner had the fried scallops, which came with only fries, a small wedge of watermelon, and a couple of spoonfuls of coleslaw. While the scallops were decent, the sides were underwhelming, and overall the meal felt overpriced for what was served. The service was mixed. Our server was friendly and professional, but we felt a bit forgotten after our meal was finished. It took quite a while before anyone came back to check on us or ask if we needed anything else. We were also given a complimentary dessert at the end of the meal, which was a thoughtful gesture. However, its presentation was fairly underwhelming, so it didn't leave much of an impression and didn't desire to eat it. See picture of dessert attached. Overall, this restaurant has a lovely ambiance and a lot of potential, but the food quality, value, presentation, and attentiveness of the service didn't match the impression the restaurant's setting creates.

Fish and chips

We just happened to walk by this place and decided to try it. We ate so glad we did! Our server was Noah and he was very friendly and attentive. Place was very busy with many waiting for a table outside. We chose for a quicker table inside and we are glad we did. Bar is decorated with pretty Turkish lamps Highlight of our evening was our perfect fish and chips. We got our order about 10 minutes after ordering. Fish was hot and nicely fried. At the end of dinner, we were served complimentary fudge that we were told were made in-house. Very nice treat. We will be back again next time we are in the area to try other dishes.

brocolli salad

had dinner here on a Monday night. Temps were cool and we were able to enjoy sitting by the fire on the outside patio. Our waiter was Mike L and he was amazing- definately enhanced the dining experience. I had lobster bisque and the broccoli salad- both were excellent. my husband had the fish and chips- also excellent and my son had the lobster flatbread, amazing as well and definately more fillig than a lobster roll. If you are in town it is worth a try for sure.

Blueberry Mule and Mango

This place is fantastic! My husband and I are MA residents that got married a couple weeks ago. We went here as a celebration dinner. Staff was very warm and welcoming. We were even surprised with champagne! Compliments from the owner. We sat outside with the lovely fire place going. We even went back the next day for lobster bisque! Not overly priced, either. Can't wait to visit again!

HUGE shout out to Michelle, Eli, Coop, Jessica and the ENTIRE staff at The Catch for helping us…read morehost a pre-wedding welcome party on 9/5/26! We wanted a casual, fun, typical Maine setting for our out-of-town guests and The Catch exceeded our expectations. The food was excellent - lobster rolls, grilled swordfish tacos, mini fisherman platters and of course...New England chowder! And whoopie pies for dessert! The new backyard patio provided beautiful views of the marsh and the fire pits and cornhole games added to the ambience. Our guests had such a good time and we're still getting compliments a week later. Everyone was so accommodating and easy to work with. Service was excellent! Thank you for a fun and memorable "night before!" Looking forward to visiting next year!! Fran, Josh and Lorianne

This used to be one of my favorite seafood spots, but apparently it was sold a couple years ago…read more Today is the first time we've gotten the chance to go and it was a disappointing and frustrating experience. I'd been coming here for at least 20 years, and in recent years it had been a favorite spot to eat outside when traveling with my dog. But now, we are not allowed to eat outside with a dog. Instead we had to order to-go and then walk down back to a 'dog area' which is a spot to the left of the building, below the parking area with one picnic table and some chairs in the woods. It was a beautiful sunny day, but we were getting eaten alive by no-seeums, which is not a nice experience when paying $100 for 1 meal with 6 scallops, 4 small pieces of fried fish, fries and slaw, an order of onion rings, a small clam chowder, and 2 beers. And $50 for a small lobster, an ear of corn, and an iced tea. I get that this is a tourist area, but $12 for a beer in a plastic cup and a $7.50 up charge for 6 scallops while being banished to a buggy spot that made eating very uncomfortable is a big no thank you for me. Crossing this place off my list, sadly. The upgrades and changes to this place are not a bonus at all. I'm sad that a place I always felt was friendly and welcoming is now overpriced and we all felt like we were being treated as second class citizens.

A romantic evening by happenstance. Columbus weekend, my first time in Ogunquit with my husband on…read moreour anniversary, we didn't make any reservations for dinner, thinking it's off season, in a beach town, not too busy. After hopping from restaurant to restaurant, all booked up, we walked in the Crooked Pine to find a waitlist inside the restaurant as well. They had seating outdoors and, given no other choice we agreed. What a treat!! We were seated by the fire, Frank Sinatra was singing in the background, string lights above us - couldn't be happier, we loved everything. I had the Lobster papardelle, and my husband had the stuffed cod, both were incredibly flavorful and savory. I would come back here anytime!

What we ordered: -Cornbread: 3/5, great portion to share with the table and piping hot which I loved but wish it was moister and had more honey on top. -Caesar salad: 5/5, incredibly fresh, dressing was delicious and evenly spread among the whole salad, fresh anchovies on top were a nice touch -Crabcakes: 4.8/5, only comes with 2 but the cakes were very fresh and flavorful. The corn on top was very boring I wish they spiced it up a bit but it did not take away from the flavor of the cakes so I kept the score high. -Lobster Pappardelle: 5/5, one of my favorite meals we ate on vacation!! Generous lobster portion with perfectly cooked pappardelle in a very tasty sauce. I already miss it and wish I could eat it again. -Braised Short Rib: 3.8/5, beautiful presentation and everything tasted great but very small polenta/carrot portions and I wish the meat was more tender. It wasn't bad, it just didn't blow my socks off. -Espresso crème brûlée: 4.5/5, was the perfect birthday dessert for my boyfriend and he absolutely loved it. Quality espresso flavor, wish it was a little crispier on top. Food was ~4/5 but our overall experience was 5/5. Our server, Pedro, was so friendly and helped us with dish recommendations. When I told him we were celebrating a birthday, he brought the crème brûlée out with a candle and two other staff members to sing to him which was so sweet. We will definitely come back here next time we're in town!

A flock of ducks, large and small, swim around the cove without a care. The fried sea food is on point and fresh. The steamers had a real sweetness that can only come with fresh seafood. The lobster roll is also sweet and tasty in a lightly buttered and perfectly grilled bun. The fried scallop roll was also light and fresh. The giant fish sandwich was the value play. The huge piece of haddock was twice the size is the brioche roll. The baked haddock was covered in dill and ritz crackers. Don't sleep on their original rum punch.

We requested a table with a view and were allowed to hang around the bar area while we waited. The wait was only about 10 minutes and the table we were given had a wonderful view of the harbor. Our waiter was at our table to take our drink order almost immediately and promptly took our food order when he arrived with our drinks. Our food came out fast and was all hot, clearly nothing had been sitting under a heat lamp at window and was brought right to our table as soon as it was ready. Pickle chips - first it's worth noting that these are not made with dill pickles, they're the sweet "bread and butter" pickles. It's not my personal preference, but some may prefer that. Either way, it probably should be mentioned on the menu. The fried pickles themselves have a perfect thickness of breading on them, which does seem to have some seasoning in it. Every one of them was crispy and the breading wasn't peeling off like it does at many other places. The dip they came with tasted like it might have been a blend of thousand island and horseradish. Fish and chips - both the fish and the fries were very fresh. The fries were definitely freshly cut and not frozen. The fish had just the right amount of perfectly crispy breading on it. Neither the fries nor the fish were soggy. The only feedback I'd have here for improvement is for the sauces. If you're going to go through the effort to use fresh fries and fish, then why use store-bought tartar sauce? I'd love to see them start making some fresh tartar and maybe even some homemade ketchup! Fried clams - My wife had the fried clams and one of her favorite reasons for coming to this restaurant is that the menu states that they don't use any hydrogenated oils in their food. She also really enjoyed her clams and found them to be crispy and flavorful.
