This place is amazing!!! Easily the best restaurant in Vinalhaven. (Second best is Dot & Millie's)…read moreThe only bad thing is they aren't open for dinner, or Wednesday-Thursday! We came here for breakfast around 10 on Friday during vacation (they stop serving breakfast at 10:30). I was quite hungry, so I ordered the fisherman's omelette. It is amazing!!! One of the best omelettes of my life. It is so packed and the home fries are great too! We saw some others with lunch food and theirs looked just as great! If you're in the area for breakfast or lunch, STOP HERE. Thank me later.

The quintessential little town of North Haven welcomed us like one of their own. We came looking…read morefor a quiet escape from the everyday rush--and we found it. You could sense the stillness, take in the sparkle of the water, and feel time gently slow down. Nebo Lodge charmed us with its thoughtful touches--from vintage linens to unique silverware, each piece with a story I wish I could hear. Every evening brought incredible farm-to-table meals: homemade focaccia, fresh halibut, perfectly grilled ribeye, and lamb Bolognese with handmade pasta--each bite better than the last. Angie, your hospitality was truly top-notch. And a special shout-out to our new friends Sammy B, Jeremiah, Todd, and Dave--you made the trip even more unforgettable. Already dreaming of our next visit!

I asked what one of the beers was in the menu and she didn't even know what I was asking. Took forever to get food and it wasn't busy. She brought out 3 of the meals and then we finally got the other two meals 15 minutes later. She didn't ask if we needed refills on our empty drinks the entire time. She never brought the chowder I ordered. Never asked if the food was ok or if we needed anything else. Then waited forever to get our bill. I will say most of the food was ok. The broiled scallops were terrible but everything else was decent. And the outdoor patio area was really nice. I'm not from Maine so I won't be back but if I was from Maine, I'd make a point to never go back.

Beautiful, remote location Aragosta had been on our list for quite some time. The meal is more of…read morean experience than I would say "a dinner" . There are many dishes served and I certainly didn't leave hungry but I wasn't thrilled with a lot of the preparations. Starter featured local kelp and seaweeds- not my thing. Lobster and crab dishes were outstanding. A course of just carrots was good but maybe not as a dinner course. Service was "a presentation" of each course and the overall evening became slow because of it. Dinner started out well timed but there were long waits in the middle. I would go back but would only go when the à la carte menu was available. Oh yah, you have to be on time for the seating so that means being early as it is fairly remote. Aragosta doesn't serve from the bar until the restaurant opens so no pre-dinner cocktails overlooking their great ocean view. We saw people in their cars having cocktails before dinner. Smart!

We've visited Aragosta Restaurant on Deer Isle, Maine before... but always in Autumn. This year,…read moreJuly's "Ode to Summer" menu mostly featured lighter seafood dishes, and why not? It doesn't get any more "New England Seafood" than the Deer Isle / Stonington areas. This was a remarkable experience from start to finish. The staff is mostly very young, friendly, yet well-polished. The room and the views are gorgeous. And we loved every bite. Take a look at the treats Chef Devin Finigan and her team presented: TASTE OF LOCAL SEAWEED - Nori Tamagoyaki, Laver & Toasted Sesame Cracker, Fried Dulse THE COLD SEA - Aragosta Oyster - Green Apple, Fennel & Thai Basil Juice, Fresh Apple / Maine Fluke Crudo - Lemon Verbena Kombucha, Fresh Local Strawberry, Cucumber Granita / Maine Peekytoe Crab - Corn Croustade with Crab Salad, Butter Poached Claw PEN BAY SCALLOP - Cultured Butter with Aleppo Chili and Dulse cooked over the Hearth (I'm told the butter will be featured in their Cookbook, coming soon) LOBSTER BAKE - Stonington Lobster, Hominy, Charred Corn, Lobster Butter & Chives Topped with Corn & Espelette Espuma - with Old Bay Waffle Chips GOLDEN BEET - Fountain Farm Golden Beet Soup, Pickled Blueberry, Duck Fat, House Creme Fraiche, Nasturtium Green Puree - with Fennel Pollan Focaccia & House Sumac Ricotta AGNOLOTTI - Stonington Lobster Agnolotti, Mascarpone, Gremolata, Beurre Blanc, Pea Shoot Salad FRIED DEER ISLE CLAMS - Seasoned Cornmeal Dredge, Gochugaru Aioli, Fine Line Farm Cucumber & Baby Courgette, Sesame Vinaigrette, Red Orach COD - Maine Cod, Vadouvan Curry with Coconut Milk & Lime Leaf, Flowering Cauliflower, Sugar Snaps, Green Beans STRAWBERRY - Local Strawberry & Anise Hyssop Sorbet, Olive Oil Mousse ZUCCHINI BREAD - Puff Pastry, Zucchini Pastry Cream, Charred Corn Custard, Sweetened Ricotta, Zucchini Jam, Thyme Flowers, Elderflowers, Micro Basil What a meal!

Great food and atmosphere…read more I had the crab roll. I know, it's Maine, don't judge. I love crab. The waitress offered it with the butter instead of mayo, and I happily said yes.

The waitress was very busy, we had to remind her of some of the drinks we ordered! No big deal especially considering the busyness at lunch time. The fried pickles were a bit too greasy for my taste, though still decent. The sweet potato fries were the highlight, crispy and flavorful. The mozzarella sticks were very tasty, but again on the greasy side. Fish taco was average at best, Reuben sandwich was also average but good! The garden burger tasted good! Overall, a good stop if your on the area, however the parking during lunch time was the worst for sure! Took me around 15 minutes to park, about 7 minutes away, parking at a supermarket parking and walking here! The prices are a bit expensive but understandable since all the out of town, tourists in the area here to spend money just don't expect anything extraordinary.

"Blueberry Salsa" nothing more than blueberries and onion with chips coated in dense strips of black pepper that hurt the pallet to eat. The main course was plain and wet. All the food is filled with Rosemary in a way that over-powers the non-existent other flavors. The bill came and the price of our strange food made with date, rosemary, and black pepper felt very wrong. Guess we payed triple for the ocean view. The menu appears normal at first but every item seems to randomly have nonsense ingredients mixed in. 2/5 would not go again. Many great restaurants in Camden, this isnt one.

Have returned twice since then. As the menu is small and hasn't changed since my first visit, the charm has worn off. I usually share the roast half chicken plus 2-3 sides. The meal was absolutely flavorful on my first visit but not so much the last visit in Dec 2025. Maybe it was a bad night? I thought the flavors fell flat and service was not as attentive. I was celebrating the holidays by treating friends to dinner and had to wave down someone twice to order rounds of drinks. I will give any establishment 20 stars if they are paying attention as to whether your glass is half empty. For me, the food can be excellent or blah but excellent service can make or break a restaurant.

(See pics) Hospitality is completely absent. No one made eye contact for a prolonged period of time after we entered. Yes, it is a very small space, but there was one waiter and one bartender. Never received set ups. We rooted around in an exposed cabinet and snagged our own. And they don't carry any sodas whatsoever. So... enjoy the food but pack your patience and perhaps don't look too hard at the walls of the dining room.
