The Osprey - Restaurant views - Seafood Near Me - Georgetown, Maine

Delicious food at a beautiful waterfront location. They have a small but excellent cocktail, wine, and beer list - options for everyone.

I grew up coming to the Osprey, and I've seen it go through a lot of phases over the years. Honestly, the way it's run now is the best I can remember. I stopped in for lunch recently and had one of the best salads I've ever eaten. It was basically a Niçoise, but instead of tuna they used smoked eel--not the soft sushi-style eel (which I also love), but a firmer, smoky version more like smoked trout. Paired with the usual green beans, potatoes, and a jammy egg, it was just perfect. Big portion too, and while I don't remember the exact price, I do remember thinking it was a steal for how fancy and delicious it was. We also split some oysters and a lobster roll--both perfect. The Osprey has never exactly been cheap (you're looking at a marina full of half-million-dollar boats), but it always feels worth it. Plus, the view over the cove is about as good as it gets. Keep it up guys! read more

Great location, great view, protected outside seating on the deck and great picnic table alternative on the lawn- plus super nice inside tables with a view. Great bar with good choices, reasonable if not cheap prices. All that would get 4stars. Sadly the food didn't live up to it. Good local oysters, but at $3+ a pop at the $$$ price range. My friend had a very bland grilled fish dish. I tried the fish and chips, which were frankly amongst the worst I've had in Maine. I think you might have better luck with the salads, which looked great on the menu but I did not see come out. The recommended dessert was... Adequate. Bottom line, great location, adequate service, choose your food wisely. read more

In Georgetown for a few days and am fortunate to be here for the first day of the season for The Osprey! Land and Sea dinner was excellent. We also had the Lobster Caprese which was very good also. Our servers and the owners were very attentive and we were happy to share this seasonal opening with them. Obviously a very happy occasion for the locals. Comfortable dining space with great views of the water and the ospreys. read more

Rolled in with cutoffs and a tshirt and immediately felt right at home. We sat at the bar and were welcomed right away. The. Food. Is. EXCELLENT. Oysters were from right out the back door - incredible. Seafood stew, clam chowder (the best we ever had - not even kidding) and smoked mussel tapenade - all excellent. Great wine and beer list, cocktails too. Good music and not too loud. Great vibe to the place. Owners are great. Attentive and fun and not overly so. They genuinely care about the staff and it shows. Can't wait to come back. read more

The Osprey - Oysters + Tapenade w/smoked mussels - Seafood Near Me - Georgetown, Maine

We love this place. The food is terrific, and everything we have tried we have liked. Especially recommend the clam chowder, seafood stew and pork belly poutine. Great location and views in the marina, good boating destination with a dock for the restaurant, great beer selection, and save room for the locally made desserts. The staff are attentive and the owner/host is one of a dying breed of people who actually understand and care about hospitality. All are made to feel welcome. Highly recommend. read more

I ordered the fried chicken sandwich, when I get a fried chicken sandwich I always want it crispy .... Soggy mess, no crisp, maple mustard overpowered it . $4 up charge for fries that were soggy, greasy. I regret not sending it all back . The atmosphere is nice, enjoying looking at the boats and the Ospreys .. service was ok . read more

Food was o.k. rather pricey for small amounts. Cost extra if you want a piece of bread. The view is outstanding. Guessing you pay for the view. Service today was not so good. I would not recommend this restaurant nor will I return. read more

The Osprey's staff and owner, Zoli, are very personable and helpful. My wife had blue mussels in a wine, butter, garlic sauce (wonderful) Plus a delightful clam chowder. I had a small lobster Newberg, and raw oysters, both terrific. The scenery from the restaurant looks over the many boats in the Robinhood Marina on the back channel from Bath to the Sheepscott River. read more

I came in for a cold drink in the afternoon...was offered a small glass of lemonade for $7. Had to pay in advance. Tipped $1.50. Sat at the bar for more than an hour, ignored by the bartender and manager, also sitting at the bar. No offer of a refill. read more

Stopped in during our vacation in Maine after hearing a recommendation from friends that live nearby. Overall, I felt the food was a little overpriced but it was tasty. It was also very hot in the dining room so it was a little uncomfortable for me. It did have a nice ambiance. I started with a thyme gin rickey which was strong and refreshing. We came in on the later side, around 8pm, so the special tuna dishes were all gone and the waitress forgot to tell us this before we had already made our selections. I settled for the lobster mac and cheese which was priced at $17. I was expecting a much bigger bowl for that price but it ended up being a tiny cup. It did have nice chunks of lobster. Everyone seemed to enjoy their meals - steak fries, seafood chowder, green salad etc. The sweet potato fries were really good and I couldn't stop eating them. The desserts were quite large and we struggled to finish them. The tart was around 6" diameter. The pot de creme was pretty dense and rich but offset by the passionfruit. I would have preferred a smaller dessert and larger entree. The food took almost an hour to come out. The restaurant was pretty busy but I felt it was quite a long time for a table of 4. Waitress was friendly which helped make up for it. read more

I'm reluctant to review The Osprey because ... well, I'm local and this is one of our favorite places and YIKES do we want it to get so crowded with People From Away that we'll never get a seat again?!? But the owners and staff here are knocking it out of the park and effusive praise is due. The Osprey has changed hands several times over the past decades but this current iteration of "The Bird" is its happiest, most delicious, and most creative. For families and pizza lovers who want a terrific view of a lovely Maine harbor (complete with Osprey nests and the occasional seal poking its head up) the outside lawn scene (think: picnic tables, dogs allowed on leash) is great. The Osprey makes excellent wood-fired pizzas. So excellent in fact that Local Luminaries of the Elected Kind (who shall not be named, sorry) might even have had the pizza maker cater their daughter's tented Georgetown oceanside wedding. Yes: that good. Indoors the ambience is fairly ordinary but a BIG, brighter improvement from past years. If you're lucky enough to snag one of the outdoor patio tables (my preferred spot) you might be tempted to linger for hours, watching lovely boats put in at the dock and people-watching the folks who disembark. All while very friendly, helpful waitstaff serve you excellent drinks and outstanding food. I won't run down the entire menu, but to call out a few highlights (see pictures) and throw down the gauntlet here: this might be the best lobster roll in Maine. PACKED with fresh lobster, on a perfectly toasted-buttered roll, just the right amount of mayo/butter. If you're an oyster fan: the offerings vary but Maine oysters are really coming into their own and at our latest visit we had a half dozen outstanding Eros oysters from Georgetown, and WOW. Watch out Wellfleet. Drink pours are generous, cocktails are creative and The Spicy Margarita is memorable. What can I say? The Bird is Back and we hope it's here to stay. read more

Great food, great ambience, great staff and great food. You can't beat the beautiful view!!!!

I want to give this place more stars! We came for the view (which is lovely), we came because we were hungry & we will return because the crew here is phenomenal. They love what they do, they love where they work and it shows! My experience started when I called mid afternoon to confirm an online reservation and was greeted by the nicest person on the planet (I later found out was one of the owners). We got there and they were a little backed up and so we were 1 of 2 reservations on the porch, but there was only 1 table available and the super kind locals let us have the porch table. I'm telling you people walk into this restaurant and just want to be kind. We were recommended to order the scallops which came with polenta I wanted to bathe in! Our server, Amanda, was amazing. The hostess (I didn't catch her name) was so super kind as well. The vibes are just good here. I feel like the food tasted better because there was so much love in the building. I know it simple to feed people but it's harder to do when a restaurant down the street closes early for the season, half your staff goes back to college and you've likely been working every single day since May but man it does not show with this crew. If Ted Lasso was to own a restaurant, this would be it. Make the Osprey the top of your list when you are planning your next dinner out! Do yourselves a favor and give The Osprey a try, I promise, you won't regret it! read more

The Osprey was recommended to us by the owner of our B&B, and it very much lived up to her excitement about it. She recommended calling or booking a reservation as it does fill up. We read some reviews to get a flavor of what drinks and food to try, but there are daily specials to look out for, too! It was clear from our experience that the staff takes great pride in both recommending dishes and accommodating slight modifications (see below). For example, I wanted to try the Bee's Knees but asked for tequila instead of gin. Phenomenal drink with local blueberry wine incorporated and used during a benefit to support maintaining bee populations. My husband enjoyed both of his drinks as well! The food was the true showstopper. We asked for recommendations, and our waitress recommended 4-5 apps and entrees with a variety of cuisines and palates in mind. We ultimately selected the following: Lobster Mac & cheese - phenomenal with lots of lobster. Very creamy and the crunches on top added a nice touch! Seafood chowder - we tried several during our Maine adventure and can honestly say this one had the most amount and variety of seafood. It was truly delicious! Cornbread with house made sage butter - the cornbread came out last and it was clearly made to order. The sage butter was so freshly whipped and a nice contrast. Steamed Mussels with Thai chili sauce - the absolute best of the best. The sauce packed some heat but complimented not only the mussels but also dunking our cornbread in it! The gluten free brioche that came with the mussels was also delicious! We would definitely come back again! read more

Misty May evening with memorable food. I visited by myself and was made to feel very welcome. The servers were mostly young however they exuded charm. The setting overlooks a harbour but on the Saturday night I was there it was misty and you couldn't see a thing. I had some steamed clams to start with which needed a littler more cleaning as I had some sand in the sauce. However this shows they were fresh and local and were very tasty. I followed this with a unique pizza. The pizzas were cooked in an outside woodfired oven and had the perfect combination of handforming and singed around the edges. My topping..... bacon and fiddlehead ferns and the combination really worked. A decent glass of local brown ale topped off and enjoyable 1.5 hours. read more

Warm greeting from the hostess/owner who moved us to a table with a view without our asking. The menu featured local dishes - the seafood chowder was fantastic - and we shared a great ceasar salad and delicious cobbler. Don't miss this one - a real gem. read more

If you are reading this to help you decide if you want to eat at The Osprey, don't waste another second ... get over there now! My husband and I and 2 friends were actually headed to another restaurant because we were determined to have a lobster roll before we returned the next day to NJ. But the other place was unexpectedly closed. We had passed The Osprey, and the owner of the Airbnb where our friends were staying had recommended it so we decided to go there. On the way, they called to make a reservation but were told there was nothing for about 1.5 hrs. We were not going to wait that long but decided to stop anyway to see if they could find a table for us. Best decision! The owner was at the door and promised he could "make magic happen"! A short time later we had a table. We each got lobster rolls and although pricey ($38!), they were so delicious! Our waitress was wonderful. The star of the show though was the owner! He had such enthusiasm and passion for his restaurant that you could see it was contagious on his staff. As we were leaving, he offered us a taste of his homemade limoncello. It was absolutely excellent. If he had been selling it, I would have purchased a bottle on the spot. I would love to eat at The Osprey again! read more

I've been to the Osprey a few times with different menus. Their new 2024 menu is really nice, a big improvement over last year's.

I love this restaurant and recommend it highly! The staff are friendly and the service is very quick! I love the hummus and the salad I had tonight was so fresh! Kudos to the owners Zoli and Sarah for offering such delicious food at a reasonable price! Our server Oliver was very professional and friendly and we always enjoy going out to eat at The Osprey when we visit our family in Maine. I cannot recommend this restaurant highly enough!!!! The view is also pretty amazing! read more

Last year while on a river boat tour, I spied this restaurant as we motored by, and I made a note to find it and try it this year. And we found it! It's a beautiful drive and not far from Bath. It has fun waterfront tables and even if you're stuck inside on a rainy day, the whole place has been fixed up and is bright and cheery. Also a very fun bar! There is not a bad seat in the place. I ordered the seafood chowder and it was truly the best I've ever had. read more

At the end of a birthday dinner for my father where we ordered appetizers, bottles of wine, entrees, and then some, the owner/chef came out to berate my family for the fact that he had been able to hear my almost 3 year old child the entire time we were there. Mind you, my child had not cried once, he was just being a tiny guy and is a small place so it was a little loud, we did our best keeping him quiet and entertained. I have never been more embarrassed or flabbergasted in my entire life. Even if we had a small check and our child screamed the entire time, his behavior would have been unprofessional, he's an embarrassment to the hospitality industry. read more

If you haven't yet been to The Osprey, it's time to go! If you've been in prior years, know that there's new management and a fabulous new chef, so the menu has had a serious upgrade. The waterfront views are outstanding, but it's the food and the staff that really makes this place special. I was lucky enough to be brought here for dinner by wonderful friends last week. We started our meal with some of the best calamari I have ever had, as well as Creton de Quebec, which was a truly delicious pate-like pork spread served with cornichons and crusty slices of baguette. For my dinner I chose the Parisian Gnocchi with local mushrooms and braised leeks. Divine! My dinner companions reported that their dinners, which included a couple of fish dishes, a salad and steak frites, were spectacular. A few of us ended the night with fabulous dessert specials, including creme brulee. I can't wait to return! read more

From the moment we arrived, we felt welcomed, taken care of and charmed by this special place! It's literally the End of the Road... the road dead ends at the marina/parking lot. We didn't have a reservation on a Saturday evening and it was obviously fairly busy, but the hostess (and owner, I later learned) didn't even blink; she set us up with cocktails at an outdoor table overlooking the marina so we could enjoy the last bits of sunshine. We had our meal inside at the bar and the food, drinks and service were just outstanding. Worth a trip to visit a place like this!! read more

Osprey is one of the best restaurants on the mid coast. Food is outstanding- my favorite is the duck, but everything is good! They have Georgetown local oysters on the menu - which are outstanding. The setting is very calming and lovely - you can eat dinner and watch the Osprey take care of their nest or watch the boats come and go. Service is Also excellent. Servers are not pushy but attentive. They genuinely ask about your order and do not assume everything was perfect (even though it was). This is a don't miss restaurant. We are local and eagerly await their opening each spring, and not having to travel further for a great meal! read more

A warm, hospitable pub with food that's much better than it needs to be, given its beautiful harborside view. We had bright, fresh steamers in a tasty broth; a luxurious cup of mac and cheese; and a poke bowl full of plump chunks of locally caught tuna. The wine comparison was fun, and a healthy pour. And the service was delightfully personable. One of the owners was hosting, and our waitress made everything sound as delicious as it tasted. Great place. read more
