We ordered the peach and watermelon salad as an appetizer while the watermelon and the dressing were amazing. I swear the peaches were canned. That was very disappointing. One of my dining companions ordered the brandy lobster, which is really an appetizer, but she had it for dinner. It came with gnocchi and was so rich and fabulous. We had ordered a side of bread and I was dipping my bread in the brandy lobster sauce. Another diner ordered the scallops with sweet potato risotto, and I had the lazy lobster that came with risotto. I can't even begin to tell you how good all of them were. The food was excellent. My risotto had corn and was a little toothsome, a little more toothsome than the sweet potato risotto. The scallops came with a mashed avocado and roasted beets. My lazy lobster came with asparagus. It was all fabulous. Our server had a few too many tables, but all in all the service was good. I would highly recommend this restaurant.

Therefore if you ever make to to booth bay harbor, blue moon is where you need to go!! Now be where they do breakfast brunch and lunch. They close like at 2pm. So get there before. The view of the harbor is amazing and you get excited about that. Then you order and some of the most fresh, deliciously consistent and perfect portion food comes out of the this little piece of heaven!! You order before you sit, space is limited yet so worth the wait. We went and sat in the back garden the first time which is cute but you miss the harbor view. The second time we got there before the opened so we were first in line. We sat outside on the harbor side. Picture perfect. But let's talk about the most important food. Blueberry pancakes with real Canadian maple syrup. I am ruined for life there will never be another blueberry pancake quite like it!! Then wait for it...crab omelette. Now you know I live my omelets and we make some good one in Cali. Well Blue Moon gets a Cali approval from me. Just enough crab meat not stingy and did I say how fresh this crab was!!! I love my Cali food for the freshness. Not all places in Maine had the freshness but Blue Moon had the freshness. A plus plus plus!!

I had a cup of seafood chowder which was wonderful. It had great depth of flavor and lots of seafood. It was definitely in house made. The lobster roll was plentiful however the meat didn't taste fresh. It could have been because it was the last day of their season and the were shutting down for the year. The chips that accompanied the lobster roll were delicious. I met family here that live in Portland. The view from the dock was breathtaking. I would come for a beer and chowder anytime just to have a chance for that view!

We sat on their outside deck and the view and breeze were wonderful. The chowder was very good, and the blueberry pie was amazing. The hot lobster roll could have been better.

We had a wonderful dining experience here and recommend this restaurant highly. All of the food we…read moreordered was very tasty, our server couldn't have been better (thanks Calli) and the atmosphere and vibe was perfect for an evening at the harbor. Let's quickly get down to the good specifics. The raw oyster appetizer was just right for us: fresh, briny, large oysters (mere points, $36). The lobster bisque was thick, lots of lobster pieces ($12). The clam chowder not quite heavy enough for our preference but good and filled with of clams. Our added bonus was the yummy spinach and artichoke dip ($17). The 1 1/2 pound lobster for dinner ($39) was delicious; tasted as if hauled aboard only a few hours ago. Add in a plate of fried scallops ($34) and a Thai crunch bowl ($19) and we were thoroughly and completely satisfied. Oh yeah, a few good beers, too. Calli kept our drinks refilled and was a constant model of efficiency and good humor. The restaurant has a patio and pretty open dining inside right on the harbor. Conversation is lively but never overwhelming perhaps because it is open. We made a reservation which we'd recommend. In summer it obviously gets very busy. As it should be.

We ordered the lobster bisque , haddock bites, I had a sandwich, the fish tacos, and the fried clam bellies. The lobster bisque was OK not the best I've ever had. The haddock bites were fried crispy and very tender. The taco dish had two tacos with maybe chipotle mayo, but not very spicy quite good. The fried clams were amazing. They could have given us more of them, but they were very tender and large not just a little strips but the whole clam. They had a sandwich was Massive. There was a choice between blackened, fried or grilled, and my dining companion got the blackened. She said it was quite good. It is a real piece of fish. It came with fries as did all of the dinners. The fries were double fried and crispy. I thought it was a good meal.

Some local friends said there's a new executive chef and that the food at Coastal Prime has…read moreimproved. unfortunately, I did not experience this to be the case - as I thought the food was outstanding the last time I dined here and our dinner was good but not amazing and there were a few issues. Maybe because their reviews have indicated poor service, we experienced over-service: the floor manager checked in with us three times to see how we were doing in a rather obsequious manner which was very off-putting. Our very friendly server checked in with us 15 times (!) so much so that it was a bit irritating as she kept interrupting our conversation. I think that's about 7-8 times too many check-ins over the course of a 1.5 hour dinner. Now to the food which was all VERY expensive: - popover and butter (complementary) - 4/5 - clam chowder - 3/5, $13 for a cup of chowder is a LOT to pay and while i did enjoy the flavor overall, there was an addition (not mentioned in the chowder description) of a swirl of chili oil on the side of the chowder. I did not mix it into the chowder and realized later when I had a burning sensation across the middle of my tongue that it likely from a line of chili oil. This was not a pleasant sensation and for a while I wondered if I was having an allergic reaction to the chowder. It subsided after about half an hour. I'm not sure why adding chili oil to New England clam chowder is a good thing and it also wasn't listed as an ingredient on the menu. If there had been no chili oil, I would have given the chowder a 5/5 for flavor. - 2025 Claw Down Winner Lobster Bite - 4/5, $18 is a LOT to pay for a tiny silver dollar pancake with some creme and a few bites of lobster on top. Maybe it's the caviar that drives that price but I did not think it was worth the cost (but it did meet my goal of having lobster every day in Maine) - goat cheese and peach salad - 5/5, I loved the tiny little fried goat cheese balls and the ratio of goat cheese to spring lettuce to peaches was good with a light dressing. I would have liked a little more greens and a little less radicchio in the spring lettuce ratio though. - halibut - 4/5, it was a sizable portion of halibut with mashed potatoes and sauteed spinach. Half of the halibut was done well and flavorful, the edges composing the other half though was rather dry and lacking in flavor. Curious. - scallops - 5/5, five scallops which were very flavorful with a celery puree and three halves of a baby carrot. Delicious but minimalist for sure in its size and presentation. this was the best item we had along with the salad. Note 1: we saw all the other tables receive an amuse bouche which looked like a shooter of something but despite all the check-ins from the floor manager and our server we somehow did not receive the amuse bouche. Note 2: It was chilly so we changed our reservation last minute to move into the dining room as opposed to sitting on the deck, which we were very glad about as it did not appear they have any heaters on the deck which we definitely had in the past times we've dined on the deck when it wasn't even as cold as 60 degrees (as it was last night) For the price and over-service (my husband tried to avoid engaging with the floor manager for the third time when we exited the restaurant but we were intercepted), and good but not great food, I'm not sure we'll be making a point to return to Coastal Prime next time we're in town.

One important heads-up: they are cash or check only, so make sure you come prepared. Overall, a really solid, comforting meal and a place I'd definitely recommend if you're in the area.

The food is delicious and looks like they put time, energy and efforts in creating many yummy offerings. We enjoyed the egg sandwich's without jalapeños. The coffee is incredible!

Ambiance is busy and those who stay eat in reasonable times so you won't have to wait long. I would recommend this place. Parking is in back (no paying and plenty). They have restrooms, I didn't use them. It's worth it to grab some yummyiness while here for sure, enjoy!

I ordered a bagel sandwich (I think it was called the Gardener) that came with jalapeno cream cheese, sprouts, red onion, and tomato ( I got it without the tomato). You order at the counter and they were nice enough to bring our food out to our table after we sat down. My sandwich was very tasty. The jalapeño cream cheese was actually a little spicy, which I loved. The only reason I'm eating four stars instead of five is the price - I just think $12 for what is essentially a bagel with cream cheese is a little ridiculous. For that reason, I don't think I would come back, even though the food was good.
