The Maine Catch provided one of the best dining experiences we've ever had. We visited with specific dietary needs--my girlfriend required a strictly pureed diet following stomach surgery--and our expectations were far exceeded. **Service and Care** After noting the restriction on our online reservation, Alexa proactively called us to clarify preferences and ensure the menu was tailored to her needs. Upon arrival, the staff treated us with incredible kindness, even confirming the food consistency before serving. A massive shout-out to **Alexa**, who transformed what is normally a stressful outing into a beautiful, seamless experience. **The Food** The quality was phenomenal. Even the pureed spinach and mashed potatoes were flavorful and perfectly textured. The lobster risotto was cooked to perfection and was easily one of the best meals I've ever eaten. **Verdict** The Maine Catch offers a fine-dining level of service and flavor with a comfortable, casual atmosphere. Their attention to detail and genuine care for guests is unmatched. **5/5 stars** -- worth every cent. read more

Our second year visiting at Maine Catch. Lovely outdoor dining in a sunken garden in front, but this year we sat indoors which reminded me of a lovely Adirondack pine panel inn. Our server Benjamin was excellent. We started with 10 Maine oysters which were well shucked and ice cold. They were sweet and delicious + added two raw clams. Each oyster was labeled with cute wood sticks. Love the Maine oyster names. The Maine course was lobster risotto with balsamic drizzle. The rice was perfectly cooked with good deep flavor. The disappointment was the less than 2 Oz - 1/2 lobster tail sitting on top. It was tender, but a little more lobster pieces in this almost $40 dish of creamy Arborio rice would have been nice. The balsamic drizzle was a great taste touch. Lobster roll - nice presentation and tender lobster on the warm under-buttered hot dog roll - but not enough lobster. Decent fries and small cold slaw. Good flavor but sides should not be an extra charge. Blueberry pie - good but not as good as the nearby Ogunquit restaurant competition. Will return in year 3 - hopefully for a five star shout out. read more

I really enjoy this restaurant. I love the location. For a place that is not by the water, it is very charming. We have been going there every year since it opened and it is always consistent and good food. When you consider how much other places in the area are charging (and the food is not as good), their price point is great. The servers are always on top of everything and lovely. Get the cornbread! You will not be sorry. read more

This was our 2nd time here and it was just as good as the first. First due to a special diet I need to be very careful about my eating. They were so accommodating with everything. And the up charge was minimal. The server was extremely friendly and very helpful when I was ordering. The blueberry pie was amazing. The atmosphere is rustic but very warm and cozy. It has it own off street parking which is a plus in Ogunquit. As with anywhere in Maine everyone who worked there was so friendly. Just a great place to eat and hang out. read more

Amazing restaurant wow. Service was great, our waiter Benjamin was very timely, kind, and he gave really good suggestions. Cute ambiance, we sat outside and it was very cozy. As for the food. All of us were scraping every last bit of everything. Our table ordered the mussels in white sauce, oysters, stuffed lobster, blackened seafood trio, and scallop linguine. We came in a big group and our whole table went silent while eating. Cannot recommend this place enough read more

What a delicious dinner!! Everything was absolutely perfect. Our waitress was excellent and even with my elderly parents asking ridiculous questions and taking forever to answer her, she was still happy and very kind and understanding. We had a little bit of everything on the menu. My husband had oysters and said they were the best he's ever had. My daughter and father each had mussels one with red sauce and one with white wine sauce. They both practically licked the bowls clean. I had a fried haddock sandwich and it was delicious. Cooked perfectly. Definitely recommend you check out The Maine Catch in Ogunquit! read more

Came here while we were staying at the Blue Shutters inn last weekend. This was recommended to us by the staff at the inn and it was only a short walk. Very convenient location. We made reservations only a couple hours ahead of time. We were seated upstairs and our server Shannon was amazing- very friendly and nice. We ordered the garden salad which was actually quite a decent portion and nice. I ordered the grilled salmon and the hubs ordered the lobster Mac and cheese. When they brought the entrees- mine was incorrect - was a scallops dish instead of salmon. We told the server and she corrected the order. I ate the salad meanwhile and then the salmon arrived. It came with rice and a side of their kale vegetable medley which was nice. The salmon was tender although there were parts of it that were blackened almost burnt. Hubs liked the Mac n cheese - quite a large portion so he had leftovers. The restaurant seems popular as it was fairly crowded and the ambiance was cozy. Seemed like people sitting at the bar too. Overall good food and great service! read more

The Maine Catch has so much potential. The food was terrific -- everything we ate was delicious -- but the service (or lack thereof) left a lot to be desired. Thankfully, we went to The Maine Catch on Saturday with reservations, as they were packed. The restaurant is beautiful and has plenty of parking; it's between Perkins Cove and Ogunquit's Main Street, nestled amidst countless of trees. They have outdoor and indoor seating. From the moment we walked inside and told the hostess we had a reservation, we were met with a cold vibe, very unlike Maine and Ogunquit ( and something you wouldn't expect at a restaurant of this caliber). Our waitress's service was no better. She seemed checked out, and everything felt very transactional. The food made its way to us quickly--sometimes too quickly, as in the case of the crispy calamari starter--which led to a few misses, like having the food arrive before our drinks. Our waitress just seemed to not care. She'd talk to us in passing and do the bare minimum. It was one of the worst services we've seen at a Maine restaurant. The one thing that saved The Maine Catch, and the reason they're still getting 4-stars, is the food. Our crispy calamari was perfect; not too much breading or super greasy, as is usually the case. The accompanying sauce had a nice kick to it. My partner's lobster mac and cheese was the best we've ever had, and the portion was generous. My blackened salmon, with rice and veggies, was also a 10/10 and probably one of the best salmons I've eaten. The rice was cooked to perfection. Would we come back to The Maine Catch? Yes, the food was good enough to keep us coming back, but I do hope they improve their service. read more

The cocktails and food are delicious. The towers are great if you have a large table party. The restaurant has nice outdoor seating and a more rustic indoor seating. Our server was ok. He didn't seem patient with 4 kids orders and he didn't take an order correctly. They remedied this by giving us free dessert. The blueberry pie was more like a jelly inside and wasn't really fruity. read more

This place was next door to the hotel we were staying at and decided to try it after reading some reviews, we entered into the restaurant to find a very Rustic but charming/romantic coastal place. We were met by a friendly host who promptly seated us. Within 3 minutes our waiter came by with water for us and took our drink orders and made some Recommendations on appetizers. We went with the raw oysters and clam chowder. Within 5-6 minutes the waiter brought our adult drinks and the appetizers and then took our meal order, my wife ordered the Roasted beet salad with goat cheese and I ordered the Scallops with the roasted potatoes, with corn and bacon cream sauce. Both of these we highly enjoyed and recommend, Our waiter was always on point with checking on us and keeping our water topped off. We highly recommend this place. read more

Each one of the meals was fantastic and full of flavor. The location is very cute and unique. A very close walkable distance to Perkins Cove if you'd like to go there after dinner. The host and Weight staff were all extremely friendly. We had the halibut and the clams linguine and the blackened seafood trio. As well as a blueberry pie with ice cream for dessert. Overall, a great birthday dinner was had and we will definitely be back. read more

Oh my gosh this place was ahmazing!!!!!! Had been driving all day with nothing delicious to eat for the day other than tourist fast food. Called to see their hours and they said they closed in 35 min. I hated to be the last table but was really in a bind for good food and new to the area and being from the west coast (time change) I was starving. They were really so kind to us and everything tasted delicious. We were quick to order to help them out. Our drinks were delicious and when I say our food was delicious. I'm not exaggerating. Everything tasted great and that stuffed lobster with bacon, scallops shrimp. Omg!!!! It was like heaven in my mouth. Thank you for the delicious meal and not being short with hungry travelers coming in late in the day. read more

Quick friendly service , very intimate cute indoor and outdoor seating , easy parking or walkable from many little inns and resorts on Shore road with delicicous food sums up The Maine Catch The blackened Salmon and Pan seared Halibut were our picks for dinner and did we not live it . Delicately flavored the fish spoke for itself ! It was cooked perfectly a gentle nudge and fit would break away. The side of rice , kale with veggies and broccoli rabe plus parsnip purée was everything that was needed to complete our meal. We were completely sold on the fish that I missed mentioning the plain Jane fried calamari appetizer though the pepper relish on the side was a bomb This is a sea food lovers paradise . Don't miss it if you are in Ogunquit. read more

Very good seafood and land food in ogunquit! It's a little down the road towards Perkins cove and can be walked to. The service is good and nice atmosphere. Skillet Mac and cheese is fire and lobster scampi is great too. Salmon is also good. On our list for vacation every year! read more

Best dinner so far in Maine. From the service to the quality of the food, this is a must go to spot in Ogunquit. I wasn't feeling great from a rough day on a boat, and had the steak - which was delish - but my crew had stuffed lobster, stuffed shrimp, and seafood linguini. Everything was 5 stars, stuffed shrimp was 4. Shannon our waitress was the nicest and most attentive human ever. Pro tip; make a resy/ you won't get a dinner table otherwise. You just won't. Focus on lobster and DO get all the desserts. They are homemade. read more

Very much enjoyed our meal at The Maine Catch. Servers were very attentive and informative about the selections. We knew nothing about this place and just happened to walk by looking for a meal and a cocktail. Found 2 seats at the bar and was thoroughly impressed with the menu selections. The lobster rizzoto was very good. The lobster was prepared perfect, not over cooked and the rizzoto was very well seasoned with both mushrooms and a balsamic glaze that complimented the rice very well. My wife elected to go with crab cake appetizer which was ok, but maybe slightly over done. The local oysters were prepared clean and presented perfectly, also very good. Would absolutely go back. read more

Great food and service! Had some oysters to start - they get most from Damariscotta region, so you know they are going to be good - and they were great. Had the halibut for a main - nice portion and cooked perfectly. Anyplace else this last thing would not matter - but they have plenty of parking! read more

We went to this place on a Saturday and it wasn't too busy but the only thing is they lost my reservation So my time got pushed back which is a little annoying. However, I was excited to be sitting outside because it was a gorgeous night and you don't get many more of those around here. My mom got the lobster roll and she liked it She did say it tasted lemony. My son got the chicken fingers and he also like them. I got the Bob fried clams I don't personally think you get enough for $40 but they were really good. I would definitely be back and make reservation next time read more

The Maine Catch describes itself as a casual fine dining establishment. This family-friendly eatery features rustic and modern decor with many references to the sea like buoys, portholes, and lobsters. My cocktail glass was chilled with ice while the bartender shook and crafted the cocktail. While I enjoy a cold glass, this method is not my favorite because it usually leaves the glass somewhat wet. The olives were sized well and tasty. The drink was strong and enjoyable. The Maine oysters were shucked clean and tasted exquisite. My lobster roll entree was fine, slightly small with average fries. Also, since this lobster roll was just okay, there are others available in the area that I would recommend enjoying instead. read more

100% perfection. :-) This was one of the best restaurant experiences my family and I have had. Service was stellar. Timing of when food was served was just right. The meals were all in excess of what we were expecting in terms of taste, texture, seasoning, consistency, temperature, and overall awesomeness. Scampi with lobster: brilliant, and not skimpy at all on the lobster. Sirloin steak: perfectly cooked and seasoned. On point onion rings. And superb lobster mac and cheese. Desserts were also thoroughly enjoyed. We will be back! read more

Another year in Ogunquit and another 2 stops at the Maine Catch. Steamers here in our opinion are best in town. The lobster Cobb is to die for, and the blackened salmon was delicious. Will certainly come back next year. read more

One of my favorite places to enjoy fresh seafood when I'm in town! A quick walk from our hotel, this place always delivers. We usually sit at the bar, bartenders have become like friends... great recommendations and drinks to sample. They do have a few outside seating to enjoy a drink and the night weather. I love their lobster roll, oysters and fish n chips. Sometimes we order set a bunch of food and share. Great beers on draft, always some delicious local tasty ones to try. read more

We've been multiple times over past few years and in past years they've served a solid clams and linguini dish. In 2025 I've found the portion size cut in half. Small clams circling the edge of plate. A small scoop of pasta clumped in middle. What was of it was tasty, however I left as hungry as I arrived. I've had good meals here in past. Maybe this was an anomaly, however there are two many great restaurant options in Ogunquit to go short on portions. read more

My family and I came to dine here tonight and we were so impressed. We are a large group of first time diners, as we are traveling from NJ, and our waiter Benjamin was very patient and helpful.

My wife and I enjoyed our evening dining here. Pros: large parking lot (not easy to find in ogunquit), extensive menu including seafood and other options. The oysters we had (bayside and norumbega) and the clam chowder were above average. Service is friendly and quick. Good beer and drinks choices. Online reservations. Cons: I enjoyed the taste of the seafood newburg but didn't love the version they did - it was essentially a soup in a skillet with bread crumbs on top. Overall, I would recommend the restaurant to visitors of the area. read more

The Maine Catch - Seafood Newburg - Seafood Near Me - Ogunquit, Maine

Delicious and quaint find a few steps away from the busy downtown Ogunquit. My boyfriend and I had a reservation but we noticed that walk-ins were still possible. We were sat on the restaurant's patio, and our server Kenroy was very friendly and set a good vibe for our dinner. We started with some Maine oysters and some calamari, which were fine. I also had a white sangria which was very refreshing and went very well with our fish-based dishes. The star of the show was the spaghettoni with clams. They had a slight kick, so just be aware of that if you're sensitive to spice. Otherwise, the saltiness of the clams were perfectly balanced by a light garlic, wine and parmesan sauce. The spinach was also a nice touch. The spaghettoni itself were cooked just over al dente, making for a great dish to close a day in this beautiful town. read more

Beyond spectacular! Fabulous service from hostess, Nikki, greeting though freshly brewed coffee and creamy coconut cake. The "bakers dozen" oysters were very well presented with a divine rendition of mignonette and a not overly "horseradish'd" cocktail sauce. Beautiful restaurant, although we ate outside on a perfect evening in the very well appointed garden inspired outdoor dining area. Cocktails were well served and, happily, "pre-Covid" portioned!! I would however recommend they apply more suitably sized "larger" olives in the Martinis. I had the absolutely very best seafood Newburgh I've ever had and my wife throughly enjoyed her well crafted crab stuffed haddock. This has to be one of the very best restaurants in the area and on site parking this close to Perkins Cove is yet another plus... read more

I had a terrible experience with service which basically resulted in me being at the restaurant for an hour and a half and i never got my food. i spoke to the manager who didn't do anything to remedy the situation except not charge me for the food i never got and i was so upset by what happened i wrote a follow up email with additional feedback. throughout all this i tried to be kind, understanding and reasonable and really just wanted an apology. i never got it from the manager, i never got a response to my email so i guess my conclusion is this place doesn't seem to care about their customers. read more

The Maine Catch is located in a cute redone New England styled house front turned restaurant. Although the interior has a darker almost lodge feel to it. Our waitress was above and beyond kind to my friend and I as we were celebrating our shared birthday dinner together. I ordered a muscle scampi which was one of the best scampi dishes I've ever had. My friend order their fish and chips and thought it to be average. Their wheat beer was incredibly good as well. Our dinner concluded with two flans topped off with birthday candles. Overall an amazing experience and one of the best dining experiences I've ever had. My only complaint is that their bathrooms are strangely hot. Not that it really affects the dining experience. read more

We had a fabulous meal at The Maine Catch. Both the food and service were excellent.

Please with all the options available in this most wonderful of Maine beach towns do NOT go here. We arrived on the recommendation of a friend who said she had a great meal here. We were ready to eat and ready to pay for great food. Atmosphere nice. Waitress nice but not as nearly chatty with us as with the table next to us who got three rounds of drinks (12 total) in under an hour. But we can't complain about that. The problem was truly the food. The so called burrata was shockingly like Polly -O and 20 bucks. The jumbo shrimp cocktail was jumbo and nothing else. Rubbery and like it was frozen. The biggest let down was my surf and turf which clocked in at about 70 bucks. The price would've fine if the strip steak weren't like from a sizzler and overdone - truly as rough as leather- and a lobster tail that I thought was a joke. Tiny. Dry as a desert and just thrown on the plate like a mistake. Omg. In MAINE where all the lobster we have ever eaten is served with a such a pride and strut as if to say: beat this to the next restaurant. It was worse than red lobster lobster and I was shocked. The last time I didn't finish a meal of surf and turf is never. Total bill was round about 200 with NO alcohol. Thankfully our ordeal was over in under an hour. So hey the service was fast. The place was packed. Reservations were not easy to come by. If you're getting a burger ok maybe? Chicken? Maybe. If you're going there for traditional Maine food, like lobstah don't. read more
