Love it!!!! Super athmosphere! Nice music! AMAZING food and excellent food quality. Please try the yellowtail sashimi with scallion and chipollote! Grilled jumbo prawns! Tuna tartar! Wild branzino!
Awesome atmosphere. Great for seafood, good oyster selection. Happy hour from 3-6. Large whiskey selection. Outdoor seating as well.
There are TWO lines for ordering. The shorter one is usually on the right (closer to the soda fountain) and snakes back towards the fresh fish counter. Also, they now take Visa and MasterCard.
Solid wine selection along with bottles of Stella if you'd prefer a beer. Located on the Hill St. side of Grand Central market. Tried the oysters, tuna poke and shrimp cocktail, was very impressed.
Any of the lobster rolls, or the crispy oyster roll with a side of fried clam strips. Be sure to wash it all down with a Lobster Bloody Mary (or several), which comes with a whole lobster claw in it. Read more.
amazing oysters, One of the freshest and flavoured we had. Grilled octopus is by far the best appetizer. Crab cakes are tender and of superb quality.
Greek nouveau seafood-centric options in a lovely setting. Go for 3-Course $39 Lunch PF; $49 Wkend Theater Menu (Fri & Sat 5–6pm/9-10:30pm); OR $79 4-course dinner. And pay attention to the specials!
Fried onion rings + (fresh, huge) fried scallops are some of the best I've had in Maine!
My fave shack w/ outdr seating & view of Casco Bay. Super fresh & cheap: fried scallops, crab+lobster rolls, lobsters right off boat! Clam Chowda's full of clams. + BEST blueberry ice cream ever! ;9
Follow painted lobsters to Lobster Pound (only 4 steamed lobsters, clams & soups). Skip Soups-watery & lacking in taste. Great steamed Littlenecks + lobsters but wish U got ur pick of M or F lobster.
Pricier but worth it! Came bk 2x in 1 trip 4 nice S. Freeport H2Ofront views & lobsta, crab & scallop rolls + great steamed Littlenecks + lobsters. Skip soups, fries & slaw. Best ONION Rings+MIDDLES!
Bring bug spray! INCREDIBLE VEIW! To bad the snack shack people can't get the order right and are rude when we were missing an order.
Lobsters and steamers are amazing! Also the lobster roll and haddock sandwich are delicious. Ask to try all the dips!!
Known for their #1 of Maine-style lobster roll (w/ 1 WHOLE lobster), this roadside shack in Wiscasset (right before crossing bridge E to Edgecomb) can't be missed..1-hr long line just to order!
#1 of Maine-style lobster roll (w/ 1 WHOLE lobster)! 2nd fave: Grilled Haddock sandwich. Scallops were very fresh & onion rings ok..except batter was too thick. Mayoey crab roll w/ lotsa meat.
My Monterey go-to for seafood for 20+ yrs: NE clam chowder in a bread bowl, bucket of steamed clams, Cioppino + always a great view of the Bay & abundant marine life below Fisherman's Wharf!
Know what ur getting...ask waitress to bring #1 (larger) vs #2 (smaller) Blue Claw crabs to compare sizes - varies daily! I eat 'em Shanghainese way-simply steamed-w/ Chiangkang Black Vinegar sauce!
Why drive to MD to have best whole Blue Crabs done MD-style or in a garlic sauté + MD Crabcakes when u can come here?! MD Crab & NE Clam chowdas (altho' watery) are tasty. Order drinks & wait it out!
My other faves: NE clam chowder, MD-style Crabcakes, local fried scallops, potato salad, & corn on the cob (when in season July~early Sept)!
Good NE clam chowda, cole slaw & lobster roll (1/4 or 1/2 lb meat). Stars are fried scallops, onion rings & lobster stew (more watery lobster bisque w/ tons of meat). Trying Strawberry cake next time
Good NE clam chowda, cole slaw, & lobsta roll: 1/4 or 1/2 lb whole, fresh lobsta meat. Stars: scallops (brushed w/ wine b4 fryin) & lobster stew (watery version of lobster bisque w/ chunks of lobsta).

After a ride on the 6, F, & their courtesy shuttle from Carroll Gdns stop, it was still a 2-hr wait...even after a friendly Samaritan gave up her spot on wait list for us.
My advice: kick bk w/drinks & cold/raw platters on their 1st flr deck, & change to the upper deck for sunset. You'll be drunk & soaking it all up by then!
The avocado cream sauce goes so well with the fish and rice. They have brown rice, quinoa, and all grains for different diets. I love it!
Old school restaurant and it shows, But the view from outside is great. Topside is the only way to eat. the Frutta Di Mare was just ok, but wow the Lobster Mac & cheese was the best we've ever had.
The bloody Mary's are awesome. Try the clam chowder, the best I've ever had. The twin lobster plate was out of this world good.
Good spot if you are 50 or older. Head next door to Portland Lobster Co. for an outdoor patio and live music!

Not a fan of Ipswich clam w/ a siphon (gross foot/tail). I go 4 smaller Littlenecks or medium-sized Topnecks / Middlenecks but wish MC’s steamed 1’s weren’t gritty. No Manila & Razor Clams found here
Alaskan King Crab @$42/lb (1 jumbo leg) supplier is frm CA & was fresh but meat was brinier than sweet. Blackened Grouper-fresh, tasty & not too oily-good find! Potato salad was bland & starchy today.
Amazing views if you sit along the side. Get the fish sandwich, it's made with local Grouper!!
Be sure to arrive early to grab a table out on the deck & the view ...especially on a nice day!
The pan fried lobster and grilled shrimp with garlic sauce is spectacular! Try the conch fritters as well, they are amazing!
The Amber Jack and the shrimp were great. Keep in mind that the shrimp still have their heads!
Not a fan of Ipswich clam w/ a siphon (gross foot/tail). I go 4 smaller Littlenecks or medium-sized Topnecks / Middlenecks & wish MC’s steamed 1’s weren’t gritty. No Manila & Razor Clams to be found:(
Even if U don’t leave room for dessert after this sumptuous seafood meal, get the Key Lime pie to go..it’s the best 1 I’ve had in a while!
