I tend to lower my expectations a little bit when I find myself in smaller towns in rural areas, and this spot did a nice job exceeding them. My first time at the Black Pearl and I'll call it a fantastic addition to Rangeley, great space that felt well lit and comfy in a cold late winter night. Sat at the bar and had a really tasty blue cheese burger with an upgrade to risotto. Highlight of the night was the St. Paddy's special Guinness espresso martini. I had no plans for 3 of anything like this, but I had 3! Service was fantastic taboot!

You order at the counter, and they bring the food out to you. Lobsters this time of year are not cheap. But we got a deal; for $68.99, we got 3 hard-shell lobsters, added 2 lbs of steamers for $5.99/lb., and came with a roll and coleslaw. It was perfect! And BF added a cheeseburger as well and 2 waters. The total bill with tax was around $98. You can't ever beat that. The coleslaw was good that I had to get 2 more for $3. Service was friendly. 5 stars!

The Red Barn is a legendary Augusta, Maine restaurant. A fixture in the community, if you will…read more They've been a part of the Augusta landscape for decades (since '77). What are they famous for you ask? Well, seafood...of course. Specifically, the lobster roll. My boyfriend loves the lobster roll! I had the popcorn chicken basket with crinkle fries that I could eat everyday if given the choice. The seasoning and breading are just right & fried until golden brown without sacrificing safe cooking or flavor. Another one of those busy places-it's a restaurant that attracts locals and tourists. They've always got inspirational quotes on their marquee. Outdoor patio seating (tables with umbrellas) and a no-frills, basic interior decor. Gives total seaside vibes.

Maine has absolutely no shortage of seafood restaurants. What most people don't realize is that you…read morecan go as far as two hours Inland and still receive quality seafood directly from our waters. This is in augusta, which falls within that range. They have the option for ordering takeout Ahead of time or online. There is significant outdoor seatting as well as a small interior dining room. The interior has one non gender handicap, accessible bathroom. The menu is not excessive, but the portions are generous. CAUTION: pay close attention to the prices. they will fluctuate and you should not assume what the final cost of your meal will be beforehand!! My clam basket and my daughter's 1/4lb roll (2 20 Oz drinks) totaled $65!! Now I will absolutely give credit to them for the clam portion being large and high quality. These were the type of onion rings that I prefer, which are thinner and more crunchy with less batter. That said, the total completely blew my mind.Because even with a very industry standard upcharge for onion rings in place of french fries.I had sticker shock. I grew up near Portland so I understand the price of seafood can change quickly. But I would say do some price shopping. Because this is more about the experience of the location since the quality of food does exist at other restaurants.In maine.

I should have known better, though. What we got: - Lobster roll flight - Fried clams dinner The lobster roll flight is served as an appetizer and doesn't come with any sides. It was lobster prepared 3 ways. Classic butter, wine sauce, and a jalapeño mayo. The classic was good, the wine sauce was bad, and the jalapeño mayo overwhelmed the lobster flavor. It would be better as a classic mayo with a drizzle of the jalapeño sauce. In all 3, the lobster was overcooked and the portion was small. The fried clams were delicious. About 9 or 10 in total. A big portion of fries and two small hush puppies. The hush puppies were delicious. But for $30, the price is too high for what you get. The server was friendly, but her energy was off-putting. She was very erratic, made sure to mention that they had drinks on the menu, and then proceeded to give a detailed list of every alcoholic beverage they had. We came in for lunch, on a Wednesday, and weren't looking to drink; her energy just didn't match the energy of the room. When we said we were just going to have water. She exclaimed "FANTASTIC, LOVE THAT!" and then rushed off. Surf Shack was a hit and a miss. But more of a miss. For $75, 1 app, 1 entree, and water. The price is outrageous for what you get.

Booh and I came for supper…read more The service was top-notch. Our server, Serena was superb. She gave us recommendations on food, and sides. She was busy since was also working in the bar but she always had time for us. The manager, Mathieu was quite funny and very busy too We ordered the French Onion soup it had a wonderful gravy and was very tasty. We also ordered the New York Strip steak. It was perfectly cooked; so melt in your mouth delicious. I had a "the works" baked potato. It had bacon, cream cheese and topped with cheese. For dessert we had a Brazilian coffee We will definitely return!!!

I'll be honest--I expected a bit more. For the price, I was hoping for more flavor, better steaks,…read morelarger portions, and more comfortable seating. We spent well over $250 plus tip and, unfortunately, I found the steak to be fairly mediocre. I understand that a high-end restaurant comes with higher costs, and there were certainly plenty of maître d's and staff around, but I couldn't help feeling that the overall experience didn't justify the price for an early afternoon mid-week meal. That said, I'm glad I finally tried it, especially after hearing so many people rave about the place. Unfortunately, for me, it simply wasn't worth the trip or the price tag. Sherbrooke doesn't have many high-end dining options, so it's still worth experiencing for yourself if you're curious. Go with reasonable expectations, and you may enjoy it more than I did.

Anglers is one of our favorite restaurants and I am surprised to see that it has been over three…read moreyears since I have written about it, so here I am. Turns out it is even better than I thought, because I really tested it this time. Anglers describes itself as a seafood place, and indeed they make the best fried scallops I have tried anywhere around here. I usually pair them with clams or oysters for a seafood combo for that reason. But I went in a different direction this time. Partly, I admit, due to the current market pricing, as the current cost is breathtaking, but also because it occurred to me that a kitchen that can provide the very best of a particular dish probably does well at other choices. So I went with the linguine veggie scampi. Then it came down to what type of potato I wanted for my one side dish, so I up-charged my way to sweet potato fries, which were good as always. My wife went with the dependable fish and chips and made sure she included their garlic-smashed potatoes as a side. And what can I say, my veggie scampi was delicious! It came with a pointy French baguette sort of thing and was quite a healthy-sized portion. I must confess that I don't remember exactly what our dinner companion had, but it involved scallops and lemon and she really liked it. Rosie was our server so we received efficient and fun service. Normally you pay on the way out, but this was just before the dinner rush, so she offered to handle the transaction at the table. So, to sum up, a great meal, slightly less expensive than usual, and we all defrayed the cost of the evening by bringing home a second meal.

I was hoping to try their deviled eggs, but they are only served in the restaurant after 4:00 pm. We both had the lobster rolls. Ample amount of lobster. Crispy buttery "toast". In my personal opinion, I wish there was a little more mayo. I like mine to be a little more "wet" and it really pulls all the flavors. We also had dinner. I was able to try the deviled eggs. They are gooood. Perfectly boiled and the filling was piped very nicely. Firm and good flavors. We did add the caviar. Caviar was good, nice amount of salty kick. My husband was not as impressed with the caviar. Said it was better without. He ordered the Roasted Halibut (asparagus, roasted fingerlings, cherry tomato, lemon caper beerre blanc.) He said it was cook perfectly great blending flavors. Only compliant, it was a small piece of fish. I orders the Fra Diavolo (maine lobster, linguine, calabrian chile) Wow. This was soo delicious. Lobster in anything is a must. The linguine was perfect. The sauce. Of the sauce was light and flavorful. I loved that it had a nice heat and spice but it was not overwhelming. I think this would also be nice for someone that is not a fan of spicy. Our waitress Emma was wonderful!

The ladies had seltzer and a beer. We ordered the Smash burger, the Roast Beef melt, and the Ramen. There was a chalk board hanging on the wall which had the meat and fish options for sale! So they do sell meats and fish but are more of a restaurant! Got it! The food came out in a timely fashion and looked great! The Ramen especially looked delightful! My Roast Beef melt was good.
