When you decide to dine in coastal Maine, it's a crap shoot. Most of the time, you'll have a fine meal. But it's really only an average meal. You'd never really tell anyone about it. Maybe the scenery was nice, or the fried clam boat was overflowing with food. But usually, it's forgettable. THAT PLACE IN OGUNQUIT is the kind of food that will make someone like me write a review. All of the food menu was well thought-out, and the quality & taste was off the charts. Cocktails were great, too. Broiled Seafood Trio was perfectly cooked, and the scallops, haddock & shrimp were all stand-alone jumbo bites. Clam chowder with bacon beats most seaside places because it had actual flavor of creaminess & smoke. Crab-Stuffed Shrimp with sauce was memorable, and will be ordered again next time. Valet parking was complimentary, or there's a $5 lot across the street. I hope you like it, too! read more

The food was top notch and so was the service! We are local and they are always consistent with both!

Nice atmosphere, very good food quality. You won't be disappointed. Only downside is not much parking.

Excellent service, off the charts food. Wife described the lobster appetizer - something crostini - as one of the best things she's eaten her entire life. While the restaurant menu probably isn't the most ideal for kids, the bar menu has plenty of options they'll like. Only problem is the bar is a little small especially if you have more than 2/3 people in your party. In any case it's definitely worth the stop. read more

We had a fantastic lunch here. We got margaritas, and they were delicious. I got the lobster roll, and I wasn't sure about the bacon when I ordered, but it was really good. My husband got the honey fries. They were good but maybe slightly overpriced for what they are. Our server was also really friendly. We'll definitely be back b read more

Top memory: The two guy bartenders were awesome. Funny, great convos, entertaining chatter as we watched some NBA playoff basketball on a weeknight in the last hours before closing. I stopped by here on my way RVing up the Atlantic coast to Acadia. Sat at the bar. Clam chowder was awesome. My favorite in particular was that they hooked me up by allowing me to order the scallops wrapped in bacon with maple sauce even tho it wasn't on the late night menu (I had seen it on another Yelp review and they were awesome!!!) read more

Food was very good. Service was very good. Drinks weren't bad!! Would come back..the Portuguese stew was amazing

My partner lives locally, so when we go to That Place, it's like Cheers--everybody knows his name! Service is always great!! I love sitting at the bar and chatting with the staff. I really need to branch out and try something different on the menu, but it's hard when the baked seafood stuffed haddock is so delicious. The first time I came here, I ordered the haddock and it was the best I had ever tasted. I've been back here twice (last visit was Good Friday) and keep ordering it. Maybe next time.... Rick, the owner, told us that it is his grandmother's recipe. It's always on the menu, and always will be. Delicious!! That Place is a great place :) read more

The food was terrific. We sat outside and the staff thoughtfully provided heaters so that we could enjoy the crisp fall night. Although they were busy the service was very good. The escargot and warm lobster crostini were both fantastic! read more

This place was amazing. The food and the staff were very pleasing. The forced valet service was a little odd, but the tasty food made up for it. The drinks were good too. The homemade bread and butter is to die for. We almost took some home!! For apps, we got the bruschetta and chicken wings - both really flavorful and delicious. The wings came we sauce but we didn't even use the sauce because that's how well the fried chicken was seasoned (I am very picky about my chicken). For main entrees, we got the Baked Stuffed Haddock, Honey Half Chicken, Shrimp Pesto and Green Thai Curry Noodles. Zero complaints about any of it and I recommend them all. The portions are fairly sized and priced I would say. Def recommend! read more

Phenomenal service and top notch food. I had the haddock bake and it was delicious. My favorite spot in Ogunquit.

I would have given this a give star review but for one reason. You have to pay between $10-20 to park. They offer valet parking but it fills up within minutes. There is a large lot just across the street that charges. I'm not sure why they don't make a deal with them to valet park in there. We had reservations and were seated immediately in the dining room. The atmosphere was very nice, lots of local artists on display on most of the walls. Our server Veronica greeted us and went over the daily specials. She was an amazing server, so pleasant, upbeat and knowledgeable. We ordered appetizers, bacon wrapped scallops and shrimp cocktail, both were delicious. We were served warm homemade bread with honey butter, so good. I had the bone in pork chop with mashed potatoes and asparagus it was fantastic. My sister had the chicken carbonara which was also wonderful. We did not have any dessert as we were too full but the menu was very extensive. We did have the Rum punch and it certainly packed a punch! We will definitely be coming back, maybe off season when there is room to park. read more

You can definitely tell this is a place where all locals frequent, and understandably so. The food and drinks were delicious! I had the stuffed haddock and my husband had the salmon! The only reason I took off a star was because we did not feel everyone was following mask procedures as best they could. We are in the middle of a pandemic, please keep your mask on. read more

That Place, has prime real estate located in between the center of town and Perkins Cove. They have A GREAT SPOT and the inside (as well as outside patio) are contemporary and clean. I was really hoping to love it here, but after two experiences-- i'm left feeling underwhelmed. The first time (summer 2016), we arrived early for our reservation (the host was incredibly sweet), we went to the bar and got drinks. The bartender was... cold, disinterested, annoyed, rude, etc., etc., I WAS BLOWN AWAY. Our server, however, was fine and the food was decent, but like anything else, that initial impression from the bartender left a bad taste in our mouth. We brought friends here in September and got drinks at the bar, (different bartender) we went to our table where we had an INCREDIBLE server (I feel terrible I can't remember her name), she was awesome. The drinks were good, wine was great, but the food... ugh I ordered the Pad Thai because it was gluten free, I asked our server what she thought, she said it was one of their most popular dishes... and it was because I saw it go to table after table... but WHAT WERE WE ALL THINKING.... it was watery, bland.. I had serious food envy at my table looking at everyone else's dinner. My mom got a steak which was overcooked, but it had taken awhile so we just ran with it, our friends got the stuffed baked lobster special which looked amazing, they being from Arizona were happy to get their Maine Lobster fix, and were happy as clams. Overall, I would go back for the service alone... but the food, I mean I typically have a rule not to order ethnic items at contemporary American cuisine style establishments... but that GF advertising, had me sold. Growing up in the southwest I crave spice and rich flavor, so maybe it was just me...but I have a feeling i'm not alone. Ultimately, I will probably give it a third chance, because I never want to write off a hot spot such as this... afterall all a year made a huge difference in the service, maybe the same will happen for their back of house by next summer. Fingers crossed. read more

Deserves 5 Stars We went there for dinner and when we arrived no lines and were immediately seated. Our waitress quickly arrived and took our drink menu. They had a pretty nice wine selection and we settled on a bottle of red. The waitress was very friendly and helpful with the menu. We started off with the french onion soup that was loaded with cheese, onions and flavor a big hit. We tried the salmon and the baked haddock. Both were cooked perfectly and the flavors were perfect. Nice atmosphere, great service, outstanding food and reasonable prices. I would suggest you give it a try. read more

Have never felt the need to write a Yelp review before, but I feel like this is necessary. Went to dinner with my husband, 2 children, and sister. At 5:30pm. Have been here before and always had a good experience. My child dropped ~10 cheerios, OUTSIDE on the patio. At 5:30pm. We paid, at the end of the meal were approached by some manager, unsure their role, and was thrusted a broom and dust pan into my hand and told I had to clean up the Cheerios before I could leave. Will NEVER return to this restaurant again. Also, my portions were small. It's hard enough to go out with children, but my kids were well behaved tonight. I left feeling terrible. read more

Great place Rick Is Always Inviting the atmosphere is great and food is awesome. Highly recommend going.

That Place does not disappoint. We stopped in after a beach trip last year and then remembered it this year when we were back in the area for a special occasion. The Delmonico steak was cooked perfectly and the baked stuffed haddock, which is my go to meal wherever I go, is one of the best I have ever had. Cocktails were great and service was excellent. Can't wait to return! read more

We parked across the street at a pay lot and were able to get a table quickly outside. Service was ok, however we were very surprised that there were no lobster items in the menu. No steamed, or pasta dishes etc. that had lobster. We did enjoy the baked stuffed shrimp and the baked haddock, however there were no chunks of crab or other seafood stuffing we could find. We had good cocktails. Dessert was small and pricey. read more

Bacon wrapped scallops are TDF. Honestly one of the best tasting things I've ever eaten in my life. I ordered the baked seafood trio and unfortunately it came out tasting completely like white wine. However, I told our waiter right away and we switched my meal out for the crab stuff shrimp. Chef came out and apologized and the alternate meal came out right away. Very exceptional service. Shrimp on the crab-stuff shrimp was cooked perfectly. Freshest tasting cooked shrimp I've probably ever had. read more

My wife and I were absolutely pleased with this restaurant especially you could tell that they have a professionally trained chef a fool that came out of that kitchens are some read more

That Place in Ogunquit is always a great experience when in town. Ricky the owner is always behind the bar and full of P&V... the food is always outstanding, I splurge on the crispy pork belly with mango slaw appetizer... outstanding. For an entree, the cioppino is the best I've had ( spicy, don't be surprised). Don't miss That Place when you are in Ogunquit! read more

Outstanding service. Great drinks and a lovely dinner to celebrate my daughters 18th birthday.

Food and service was exceptional. Our waitress was knowledgeable and the food was hot. Very nice ambiance. The chocolate was excellent.

Saw they had an early bird special on their board our front so we decided to check it out. When we were ordering the server mentioned every other thing expect that, we had to ask to make sure it was still happening. read more

Staying at the Cliffhouse ~ happened upon this gem! Excellent food and reasonably priced. Had the calamari appetizer, stuffed haddock and fisherman's stew~ everything was delicious. Will definitely go back! read more

We had a lot of nice meals in Ogunquit but this was by far the best. Started with the beet and goat cheese salad and fried calamari- which was to die for. I had the seafood trio which was cooked and flavored perfectly and highly recommend. Husband had the filet and lobster tail and was equally pleased. Definitely recommend to anyone looking for a quality seafood meal in town. read more

Amazing delicious choices!! I had the maple glazed scallops and pork belly apps and my friend had the pork chop - both exceeded our expectations! Wonderful service and beautiful decor on top of that. HIGHLY recommend! read more

Nice inside and outside dining. If inside inquire about having them turn on fireplace because it gets chilly inside. Food is great. A great walk from anywhere in town. read more

Excellent food and service. We had a Wednesday night reservation at 7pm and were seated right away. We ordered the Boiled Lobster and the Hanger Steak which were both excellent. Our server was very helpful and friendly. Would definitely come back. read more

A group of 12 of us were heading to OGT for the 8/1 weekend. We made rezzy's weeks ago at That Place with the tables broken in two to adhere to SD and Covid. We just got a last minute notice that they are cancelling our plans. Very abrupt and no explanation. So, now we are back to Old Faithful....Jonathan's. Very disappointing! Oh well, Happy summer read more

A MUST DO! EVERY ONE OF OUR MEALS WAS FANTASTIC @ THIS LITTLE GEM OF A RESTAURANT IN OGUNQUIT MAINE. While taking in our walk on beautiful Marginal Way, I called to make Dinner Reservations they were completely Booked Up. They said to come Early as they have an Outdoor Dining Area that is Non-Reservation - First Come First Serve. So we did just that & snagged a Table Outside. We shared everything because we wanted to taste a bite of everything. They were very accommodating giving us extra plates & Spoons. We started off with their Mixed Green Salad which was Excellent! Then we had their take on New England Clam Chowder with a little Different Twist with Bacon Very Good. We had The Chioppino - a Portuguese Fisherman 's Stew Tomato Based & Fennel & Garlic Excellent. We had the Broiled Seafood Trio with Scallops, Haddock & Shrimp, White Wine, Lemon Butter Smashed Pitatoes & Green Beans DELICIOUS!!!! Then we had Pan Seared Salmon with Wild Berry Glaze & Rice & Green Beans DELICIOUS!!! We had no room for dessert. But all the desserts looked Fantastic! We heard several different parties when they were leaving telling the Waitresses & Head Staff that this was the Best Meal they had while visiting Maine. Next time I'm in Maine I'll definitely be heading back here for sure. It used to be, you had to have Mega Bucks & be really Rich to have the Good Life, not anymore. The Game has changed. You've been Upgraded. Now You Can Live Like a King on a Limited Budget! read more

Food was amazing! Started with a shared Caesar Salad, and they split into 2 plates, was very good. I had the salmon with green beans and rice. So good! DH had the seafood stuffed haddock and he enjoyed his meal also. Bread is complimentary and it comes with a yummy butter. Our waitress was spot on also. Very popular place, call and,make a reservation. read more

What a fantastic place here in Ogunquit. I am not a big one on ranking places 1, 2 or 3 or proclaim them to be THE BEST in town or nothing else can come closer and euphemisms as such. That Place is definitely a fine dining experience that stands out and shines bright like a diamond (yes, I quote Rihanna!) when the conversation comes about great eats north of and not too far from Boston, MA. And having experienced quite a few of the best of beantown restaurants, I would go to the extent of saying, this place called That Place is simply in a league of it's very own. The ambiance is what catches your attention right away. Very demure and sophisticated, it is perfect for big groups or an intimate, romantic dinner alike. There is a bar right next to the entrance on the right section of the restaurant which seems to get quite popular as the hours go by. You can hear the cheering and all. The other half of the restaurant is much more quieter and as I said, more for couples and intimate group setting. The food was really good. We ordered a bunch of apps before our main courses. Calamari, Nachos, Cocktail Shrimp, and more. Even the house bread and sweet butter - oh yum. You could tell their focus is on quality while maintaining the quantity. For my main course, I got the special of the day which was a Boned in Filet Mignon, lobster meat, corn and garlic mash. Everything was good. The steak was cooked medium rare as I like it and not chewy. The lobster meat was fresh - dipped in not too much butter. The veggies were lightly seasoned. The service was great and our waitress was very nice. We did call ahead to make reservations which was a good thing to do because the place was packed. Overall, I couldn't find anything that I would have hoped could be improved or had been better. That Place is just the place you should be at for a good meal and a great ambiance. read more

That Place In Ogunquit - Boned in filet mignone with lobster and mashed potatoes and corn and some asparagus. - New American Near Me - Ogunquit, Maine

3.5 rounded up for good atmosphere and friendly service. Starter: Bacon wrapped scallops. 4 scallops wrapped in maple bacon and seared, they were a bit undercooked but very flavorful. Main: baked stuffed haddock and caramelized salmon. Great combinations of ingredients, and the potatoes and asparagus with the haddock were delicious and appropriately simple. However the fish both suffered from under-seasoning, especially the salmon, and the green beans needed some assistance as well. read more

That Place is really pretty and food is good. We've been coming for several years now, most recently this week. I had the haddock, which was very good but the green beans were completely over cooked and had zero flavor. My husband had the cioppino which was good but not filling at all (he ended up eating the rest of my meal and our son's). Just a head's up to the many parents visiting Ogunquit in the summer - this is not a kid friendly place. They offer a "kids" menu, but it doesn't feel friendly if you're dining with kids - they couldn't get us out of there fast enough & our son was super quiet and polite. We walked in at 5 & left at 535 - wicked rushed. Our son got "chicken tenders" but what came out was a chicken cutlet sliced into strips & they don't offer any sauce at all with it (how hard is it to keep bbq sauce in a restaurant?) and the fries were all burnt - we ended up eating our dinners and leaving to go get him pizza. Good spot if you are traveling as a couple or with friends, but find another spot for your kiddos. read more

Food was average, service was pleasant but not that attentive. My Portuguese stew was good, but my wife's fish trio was not so good including cold mashed potatoes. read more

5 star all the way My friends and I had the most wonderful time The food was impeccable as was the service As you can see from the other reviews-this is the place to go when in the area read more

Very limited parking, although if there's space, it's free valet! The greeter seemed dismissive when we said we didn't have reservations, but another greeter stepped in and had us seated right away. The server was average. Drinks were fine and food was good. I got the salmon, and didn't really like the mix of salmon flavor with the berry chutney on top. It just didn't match. My husband really enjoyed his lobster though. We probably won't go back but had a nice experience. read more
