Three course meal for lunch. Portions were just right, left satisfied but not stuffed. Quality of the ingredients was noticeable. Good spot for a business lunch near the office. Service was efficient.

The cocktails here are really well-crafted. I appreciated the thought that went into the drink menu&mdash;it paired nicely with our small plates.

The burrata and oysters were great. Appreciate the dietary-friendly options on a small menu. Quick lunch spot.

The picnic tables right by the water are the spot. Sat there with a local IPA, watching the lobster boats come and go. Fire pits got going later, which was nice. A classic Maine vibe. The beer selection was solid, though I wish they had a few more by-the-glass wine options for the seafood.

The surf and turf fajitas were really good, and the booths are so comfortable. A nice, relaxed spot.

Service was so efficient even on a busy Saturday. The staff were genuinely pleasant, which made the wait feel shorter. Really appreciated that.

Sweet potato fries were crispy and seasoned just right. The wrap was fresh and filling. Loved the big patio, perfect for bringing my dog along. A solid spot for a casual lunch.

Been coming here for years. Staff is always friendly, they know the regulars. Menu&#39;s big, but I usually stick to the classics. Gets busy, but they keep things moving so you&#39;re not waiting forever. Solid spot.

The fried pickles were a fun first try! The batter was light and crispy, and the pickles inside stayed nice and tangy. The crab cake sandwich was also solid, really fresh. Fish tacos had a good amount of filling too.

Service was pretty good. The server knew the menu well and seemed genuinely interested in making sure we had a nice time. It felt attentive without being overbearing. A solid experience overall.

The mussels were so fresh, and the fish was cooked perfectly. I really liked that the sauces were light, so you could actually taste the seafood. The whole place just felt clean and bright, which made the meal even better.

Their bagels are made fresh in-house. You can tell. Got a plain one toasted with cream cheese. Quick and filling for a quick lunch. The texture is way better than the supermarket stuff.

Still serving from a food truck, but the fried oysters are solid. Quick bite, no fuss.

The Americano was spot on. Staff was friendly, and that oat bar was a nice touch.

Been coming here for years. That curry seafood bowl is my go-to. The shrimp and mussels are always fresh, and the fish is just so tender it falls apart. It&#39;s the one thing I know I can count on every single time.

Gyro pizza was legit. Tasted like someone actually made it, not just reheated. Ordered online, you can even pick how crispy the onion rings are. Solid.

The steak frites here are a solid splurge. The steak was cooked just right and the fries were super crispy. It&#39;s definitely on the pricier side, but you can taste the quality in the meat.

The local roast selection here is solid. Grabbed a cup of their single-origin, took it for a walk. That&rsquo;s the move.

Cozy family-owned Italian spot. The complimentary bread with olive oil was a nice start. I had the osso buco, which was rich and tender. Their house red was a solid pairing, really brought out the flavors. A bit on the pricier side, but the wine list makes it worth it.

The chili and sauerkraut toppings here are a real find. It&#39;s a fun, casual spot where you can build your own hot dog just how you like it. The vibe is relaxed and the whole setup makes for a good, simple meal.

The poutine was the star here. Perfectly warm, savory gravy over crispy fries and cheese curds. Grabbed it from the harbor-side shack and ate on a bench watching the boats. Quick service, no fuss.

The Cowboy burger is juicy and tasty, and the large fries are a solid deal. The booths are comfortable, which is a nice plus.

The haddock sandwich and parmesan garlic fries were so good! Perfect for a casual dinner with friends. The owner even came by to say hi.

The pasta portions are huge, especially the carbonara. I couldn&#39;t finish mine. For the price, you&#39;re definitely getting your money&#39;s worth. It&#39;s a solid choice when you&#39;re really hungry.

First time trying their crab cakes. So much real crab in there, you can see the chunks. Got that nice sear on the outside, still tender inside. A bit pricey for two, but honestly worth it for that quality.

Service was on point. Server knew the menu well, gave solid recommendations. Food came out quick, perfect for a lunch break. Made the whole thing easy.

Nice little bookstore with a cafe inside. The kids&#39; section is huge, which is great. We picked up a few books and had some decent pastries &ndash; the croissant was pretty good. A pleasant spot for a quiet morning.
