We were so excited to dine at The Maine Catch in Ogunquit, ME. Unfortunately, our experience was not good. My husband ordered a very pricey steak, and it was rare when he ordered medium, cold and full of gristle. We could not eat it. I ordered a lobster roll with butter, and there were only 3 pieces of lobster in the roll. There was no butter, and it was cold. Our bill was almost $200. Never again. read more

Yikes, eat out very often and don't feel that I'm critical but this place was bad. Very slow service (waited 10 minutes for bottle of wine) forgot to bring appetizers, oysters were size of my thumbnail literally, had to send steamers back as they smelled like sewage and were all shriveled up and blueberry pie was no different than something you'd pick up at Shaw's... read more

Excellent, great environment that was warm and welcoming. We had a wonderful waitress and we were served perfectly cooked fresh fish dinners along with a great mixed drink and tasty local pale ale beer on tap. read more

This restaurant is well worth the long walk from our hotel. The scallops in bacon sauce is excellent and the corn bread is heavenly (and I don't typically even like corn bread). On our last visit to the Maine Catch, my husband and I both had the lobster cob salad and both raved about it. ...not too much lettuce but plenty of Bleu cheese, bacon bits, egg, avocado and generous portion of lobster! read more

The best seafood dinner we had while visiting Ogunquit. The newly opened restaurant glowed with a beautiful interior decor, which we chose to sit inside. There is ample outside seating to enjoy the great weather. Then there's a large bar to also sit and enjoy. We had a delicious dinner which included raw oysters, lobster crostini, crab cakes, baked haddock and seafood Newburg. My favorite were the oysters and lobster crostini. I also enjoyed 3 different cocktails and favored the Blue mule the most. Then to top it off we did have blueberry pie with ice cream. Our service was good, friendly and attentive. The Maine Catch is sure to be a popular place for all. read more

What a pleasant meal! Enjoying the food, sitting outside ambiance and the server was truly amazing (OF!). I enjoyed the shrimp scampi as I liked tasting the parsley as well as the right amount of garlic. The shrimp was done perfect, so easy to overcooked. Kuod's! Baked haddock, simply done was delicious. Pours were good and pricing appropriate. Loved the blueberry cake dessert! One issue with the host and check in process. why make a big deal of making reservation, adjusting our requested time, and then seeing an open outside and then reminding the host we wanted outside seemed a disconnect. So often the first impression can put you off for the rest of the meal, back to the comment on the server - she saved the day and made the meal a memorable event. read more

Stopped in for lunch today, ate indoors and social distancing was observed by the separation of tables indoors. Outside seating was available as well. Not super busy so not sure what it would be like if they were crowded. Seated promptly but only one server working both indoors and out which made service a little slow. But the server was pleasant and did a nice job. We ordered the clam chowdah, side of onion rings, fried scallops, and whole belly clams. The entrees came with a huge portion of waffle fries, coleslaw, and tarter sauce. Took awhile fir the food to arrive and was disappointed that everything came out at once versus getting the chowdah before the entrees. But having said that nothing disappointed! The chowdah was one of the best I've had. Plenty of clams, well cooked potatoes in a nice light creamy chowdah. Oyster crackers were served on the side. Definite 5 here.Expected a cup of chowdah but got a full bowl for a very large portion which continued throughout the meal. The onion rings were coated in a nice light beer batter and were the largest onion rings we've ever seen. Great flavor and texture. Serving was very large. Another 5. The scallops were cooked to perfection and the portion followed everything else, large! Needless to say a 5 here. The whole belly clams were excellent. Large portion of small bellies (miss the large bellies we used to get eons ago) so no need to worry about going hungry. 5 here. Waffle fries were nice and crispy and could have been shared between two people rather than just one. Fries get a 5. Coleslaw was of the 'dry' variety. Flavor was okay but not good enough to finish it. Maybe a 3 here at best, just not my taste. Overall a great place to eat. The only thing I would say is reduce the portion size on the waffle fries to eliminate waste and goose up the moisture in the coleslaw. Definitely will be a go to place next time we are in town. read more

I enjoyed the food. The shrimp were cooked perfectly and the side dishes were excellent. I'm not sure if there was any lobster in the stuffed shrimp but they were still good. My friend wasn't impressed with the dinner but he's not into food like me. Service was good. read more

This place was an excellent find! Everyone we go to Ogunquit, we are afraid to try anything other than our old stand bus. Thankfully, we took a chance on this place! Top notch service, drinks and food. Brussels sprouts are not to be missed and the stuffed lobster was amazing. Lobster Newburg was super delicious and the veggies were super fresh and so yummy. We will definitely be back!! read more

I LOVE this place. Tonight, I tried the baked haddock with crab stuffing. It was delicious. For dessert, I had the chocolate cake which was very good. My husband said his fish and chips was probably the least greasy, and one of the best, he has ever had. read more

Everything was so fresh and the mussels and shrimp fra diavlo some of the tastiest. Very cool Post and beam interior. Great fro friends and family, casual and relaxed atmosphere. read more

The meal was delicious. Clam Chowder was wonderful. Creamy with a great clam flavor and content. I had the baked stuffed shrimp with crab stuffing. Shrimp were perfectly cooked, stuffing was delicious. The rice side was tasty as was the vegetable medley. The servers were pleasant. They could maybe use a little more training in terms of how to serve. But everyone was lovely. And frankly, I'd rather have a pleasant server than a perfectly trained one. read more

I've been here twice so far and the food has been consistently good. The clam chowder is one of the best. The chowder has a rich clam flavor with a good amount of clams. The stuffed lobster was stuffed with seafood (shrimp, scallops, clams not stuffing as what we expected) served with creamy mash and a mix of summer squash cooked perfectly. The baked scrod is good if you want something on the lighter side. The dish paired well with rice pilaf and buttery summer squash. Nice outdoor patio seating and good service. read more

Service was very good and food was terrific. Oyster selection was excellent and they were delicious. Got halibut special and it came with a saffron sauce over whipped parsnips. Inventive and super tasty. Great spot in Perkins Cove!! read more

Fantastic food and service this past weekend! The salmon was so fresh and cooked to perfection, the blackened trio was delicious, and a nice space for the ambiance read more

Absolutely amazing! Oysters, lobster risotto, & lobster roll were INCREDIBLE. definitely recommend!

Great find ! Food was amazing, server was friendly and attentive . My only negative comment , was the Hostess . Walking in , seeing a mature looking woman , we considered she might be the owner, due to the way she carried herself and spoke to staff . I informed her we were a little early for a reservation. She was rude and snapped , " You'll have to wait till your time." We didn't mind or expect otherwise . I asked her another question, she gave me a short answer with a nasty tone. Must have been having a bad day. However , in the restaurant business, I personally do not feel that should be apparent to customers. Other than the lovely woman at front desk , everything was amazing . Well worth shrugging off a bad attitude. read more

I put off writing this review hoping my heart grew fonder, but my experience remains disappointing. For such high price points, we expected a higher level of service and atmosphere. Our waitress got our order wrong twice (wrong oysters, wrong drinks) and served us warm white wine. Things got weird when we mentioned the order errors. Most places/most servers would've immediately removed the erroneous items from the table. Not our waitress - she left them there and vanished. She never said where she was even going. She came back a minute later saying that (in both cases) they were "out" of our original ask and the kitchen gave us the "closest next thing." When we got the bill however, it seemed the closest thing was more expensive - and they charged us for that without even asking if we wanted that option. Elsewhere, only the shucker seemed to know what he was doing. We witnessed people complaining about the wait for water, the bill, etc. A waitress who was covered in sweat - and dripping sweat - not great for a restaurant. After ordering our apps, a different waitress came over to ask about drinks, though we'd already ordered them. Just pretty messy service wise, all around. The food was very good (shrimp was delicious, steak was great), as was my martini, but if would've been even better if the restaurant was playing better music. Though I'm a 90s lover, there's just something bizarre and distracting about eating steak and seafood and dirty martinis in a ski-lodge-barn-esque place to the tunes of Paula Abdul, La Bouche and Marky Mark & The Funky Bunch. Seriously? We weren't feelin' it. read more

We were looking for a local seafood place along the south east Maine coast. The Yelp reviews for the Maine Catch Looked really good so we stopped here while driving north. We were not disappointed, it was off the path of the busiest part of Ogunquit, So Parking was easy and we got a table right away. We have the muscles in a cream sauce for an appetizer, brought it home, It will make a great soup later! Kim had a clams in the bouteille pasta, I had the seafood newberg, both excellent and huge servings! My only slight complaint was it took forever to get our wine order. read more

This place is fabulous! We were searching for a dinner spot that wasn't crowded and happened to stop in here while on vacation. I love Ogunquit and hadn't had my raw oysters yet, which is a must at every visit! I was happily surprised to find out that they could seat us And they had a raw bar! They also had some awesome martinis so I tried the one in my picture and it was wonderful! Along with 2 dozen delicious oysters I had an amazing lobster salad and my husband got a pasta dish that was great! Service was amazing and I'm glad we were there early (6ish) because by the time we left it was packed! Obviously a favorite spot and I see why! I can't wait to go back! read more

The Maine Catch - Delicious Lobster Milanese - Seafood Near Me - Ogunquit, Maine

The place was very nice and really rustic. We had 5 different types of oysters and shrimp cocktail, both super fresh and fantastic. We had penne fra diablo with shrimp and the lobster risotto, both great. We had the blueberry pie for dessert and it was ok. The waitress was very nice but what caused the four stars was the fact that she forced us into ordering our dinners. When I explained we wanted to get through the raw bar appetizers, she said oh don't worry I won't put it into the kitchen until I come pick up your empty tray. Well needless to say, we didn't get the shrimp with our oysters and then received our dinners at the same time we get our shrimp cocktail. I'd like to feel she wasn't rushing us but it felt that way when her promise to us didn't follow through. She blamed the kitchen and other staff. In the end, the atmosphere was great and so was the food so I would go back again and not make the same mistake of ordering everything together. read more

Best lobster roll during our Maine trip!! They buttered and toasted the split top roll and jam packed it with tender lobster! Still thinking about it today! So many good lobster rolls and this one was fantastic!! read more

We just had dinner here and I can't say enough great things about The Maine Catch. We were greeted right away with a nice welcoming waitress and host and the hostess kindly moved us to a table on the patio with more shade when requested. Our waitress, Barbie from Jamaica (we love Jamaica), was so nice and friendly. My husband got the Maine style Lobster Roll with Mayo and I got the Connecticut style Lobster Roll with Warm Butter. I did ask Barbie for more drawn butter which she brought right away. The Beer Battered Onion Rings are awesome, they come with a delicious dipping sauce. So far, this is our favorite restaurant that we've eaten dinner at and we highly recommend them!! FYI - Doug T's one star review is so unfair. We were on the patio at the same time and they were upset because they felt like they waited too long and then made a scene storming out of the restaurant. Their waitress was super nice and was getting another table's food from the kitchen. They were complainers from the start and made a comment about how they were put beside heaters the past two nights at different restaurants, so they were thankful they weren't sat beside a heater tonight. They're the type of people who will complain online because they're cowards to say something in person. You both looked like fools storming out and making a scene. read more

Great food, service and ambience. Off of beaten path, which is nice. Seafood dishes are a must.

Decided to try The Maine Catch after a couple different people had recommended it. I checked out the menu online first and saw they had a lot of options that appealed to everyone in my family and high ratings. It was easy and convenient to book a reservation online and there was open availability only one day in advance. The prime dinner times seemed to diminish online with less than 24 hrs but there were still plenty of tables outside when we were leaving. Still better to be safe than sorry especially once the summer season is in full effect. They have a private parking lot on site and parking was adequate. The inside of the restaurant was nicely decorated and modern. Service was good. Prices were average to high. However, I found the portions to be on the small side and the food was somewhat underwhelming. I had the exact same experience as another reviewer so I would not recommend the calamari or the bucatini and clams. The calamari was small rings in a bland coating. The only redeeming part was the cherry pepper relish which had a nice kick. The sauce on the bucatini was tasty but there were only 6 small clams in the dish and they were all blown to shreds in the shell. I tried a taste of the lobster mac and was pleasantly surprised with the flavor but thought it could have had a bit more lobster. Overall not a bad experience but also nothing to boast about. read more

I was blown away by The Maine Catch. It felt like a brand new restaurant with a charming barn feel. We started with the stuffed clams, calamari and crab cakes for appetizers. I would highly recommend the clams and crab cakes. Both were extremely flavorful and I'll order the next time I'm back. My dish was the crowd favorite (the bucatini and clams). Each bite was so rich and fresh. I'll be back for more read more

I've never seen a harder working hostess. She not only handled the seating, but I saw her making drinks at the bar and serving food. I would guess they are short-staffed, but she definitely helps make up for it. We made a reservation, so seating was prompt. It seemed very busy that evening. Both the service and food were very good. Of course, I had lobster and it was great, as were the sides. read more

Good food, great service, friendly. We went there when we were staying at Meadowmere on Labor Day weekend. It got great reviews so we decided to try it. The seafood is fresh. We both had the lobster tail and the only thing I'd say for feedback is that it wasn't that generous a portion. The tail didn't seem as full as other lobster I tried. The service and flavor made up for it: read more

Best food, wait staff and ambiance. We made a 7:15 Reservation and we're seated promptly. The hostess was pleasant, waitstaff attentive. The drinks are strong!! The clientele at the bar were a little snooty and when leaning in for a drink... pretty rude but over all the Maine Catch is amazing and a must try when in OGT! Get the filet with mushroom sauce!! read more

We have been coming to Ogunquit for years and we just found the Maine Catch and so glad we did! It has only been open for a few years but I would highly recommend this establishment for great service, Thank you Ricardo!, good ambience, and excellent food! We had a large table including 3 children and 5 adults ! Some of the dishes included, Oysters , buffalo cauliflower, clam chowder, fried clams, excellent onion rings, burgers , hot dog, steak tips, lobster rolls and a lobster Risotto that was amazing!! Everyone was happy with their dishes!! Thank you to our Server who was quick, efficient and great with the kids!! We can't wait to go again!! read more

We've eaten dinner here and it was good...wait staff was new. Tonight sat at the bar..new bartender... had to ask other bartender about a stoli and soda (?).. ..ordered fried calamari..served with Sriracha ..my husband liked it, i didn't so i asked for tomato sauce ..it was ice cold...ughh fine. The brussel sprouts with bacon walnuts and blue cheese where yummy but barely room temperature..warm would have been nice. Bottom line food and atmosphere are great... but food should be more carefully prepared. The waitstaff and bartenders may need a little more training. read more

Food was terrible. Clam chowder so watery and tasted canned. Glassware from the 80s. A fifteen dollar glass of wine should not be served in low level outdated glassware. Order came out wrong twice. Menu description inaccurate for dish. Service sub par. This place is posing as upscale but is 1000% not. Worst meal in Ogunquit. read more

Thoroughly enjoyed lunch with friends. Great service too! The fried haddock sandwich and lobster roll were both very good!

I have nothing but positive things to say. Very comfortable atmosphere and welcoming staff. The owner comes to check in with each table. The clam chowder was filled with the good stuff. Both dishes came out hot and fast. I could go on and on. A must try! read more
