41 Best Seafood Restaurants near Cape Neddick

“The lobster roll was a triumph of flavors, with succulent chunks of lobster nestled in a perfectly toasted, buttery roll. The combination of sweet and savory elements danced on my taste buds, leaving me longing for more. The shrimp roll was equally delightful, boasting plump, well-seasoned shrimp that provided a delightful contrast in texture. However, the crab roll, while enjoyable, didn’t quite reach the heights of its counterparts, with a flavor that fell slightly short of expectations.but overpriced.“

“Not terrible. I had the surf and turf with filet and lobster tail. It was not terrible lobster, but it was a little tough which was surprising given the location and the about $80 that the plate costed. The steak was a little better but could have used more flavor. Over-all not bad, but the plate should have been more at a $45 price point relative to its quality. I would say keep the higher price and improve the plate.“

“Arrived right on time for a 6 o'clock reservation on a Saturday evening. We were seated promptly and had our cocktail order taken immediately. I had some version of a Manhattan that was very well-made and my wife had the Amethyst Amor'e, also very well done. We started with a cheeseboard, which was very generous, lots of cheese, bread, honey, and candied walnuts. We also tried their deviled egg, very tasty... My wife had the beets and the mussels, which she enjoyed thoroughly. I had their version of the chicken pie, which had some unusual flavors. I'm not quite sure what it was, but it was very good as well. our server, I wish I could remember her name, was very attentive, timing of her visits to our table or perfect. The pacing of when food was delivered, was just as one would hope. Altogether our bill was about $180 not including tip. All in all a really nice experience, given the somewhat limited menu options I'm not sure how soon we'll be back, but I would certainly recommend this restaurant.“

“We ate at the Front Yard Saturday 3/23/24, our meals and service was excellent. The Octopus we had for an appetizer was tender and so delicious. Our meals were delicious also, I had the Lobster and Shrimp with papperdelli ale vodka and my wife had the seafood baulabaise. Jenni was our waitress and she was awesome.“

“Ate lunch with friends on drive home from Logan on our way back home from London. Our first meal back from London is a tough one. The food was fantastic. Had a nice window table with a view of the sparkly water. There was a vent blowing cold air underneath our table, but fortunately the server provided a small mat to cover it up. The cocktails were en pointe and well balanced - not too sweet which we appreciated. Even though we are all seafood lovers, two of the stars of the meal were the buffalo cauliflower ( great sauces and nicely fried- not greasy or soggy) and believe it or not, my daughter’s grilled chicken caesar was also really nicely done on all fronts. We all loved the haddock reuben ( again many nice touches- great cook on the fish, delicious sauces). I already mentioned the drinks. Cocktails were awesome ( we tried 3 different ones from the menu). My chief and probably only complaint would have to be the wine pours. I am spending top dollar on quality food at a respected restaurant- please give me a glass of wine. We spent over 300$ at your establishment, don’t serve me a splash of wine. Rather insulting. Everything else was wonderful. Kitchen staff are doing it right and our server Sierra was great. Bar program - don’t serve skimpy wine pours.“

“My husband and I ordered a lobster roll and also got two lobsters (buy one, get one free, so a total of two). The food was incredibly delicious! I believe their lobster roll surpasses any I've had elsewhere, and their lobsters were also exceptionally fresh. If you order lobsters, be prepared for a bit of a wait (approximately 20 minutes), during which you can explore the nearby docks and bridges, which offer beautiful views. You might also consider ordering the lobster roll and lobsters separately, and enjoy the lobster roll while waiting for the lobsters. The only drawback (though not the restaurant's fault, of course) is that you'll need to find outdoor seating, so if it's a busy time, windy, or raining (as it was when we went), it might be a bit challenging for eating (we saw a lady requesting them to pack her items in a sealed box rather than an open paper box, which might be a good idea), so plan accordingly!“

“From the minute you walk into The Franklin you feel the warmth of the space. The servers are knowledgeable and friendly. We ate everything and it was flippin amazing - I took my sister and her husband here and his eyes lit up when he caught site of the selection of oysters! He still talks about The Franklin and makes me take him there every time they are in town.“

“There are quite a few " smart casual" dining options in Ogunquit and I cannot claim to have tried them all, but , of those I have sampled That Place stands out. It is a small town average floor plan that lends an air of intimacy to a roomy vibe. The service is highly trained and knowledgeable but without being pretentious. As for the menu, it is large enough for choice but simple enough to suggest specificity and care for each dish. Escargots seem to be out of favor these days but here they immediately caught my attention and did not disappoint! Neither did the generous and perfectly cooked pork chop. Utterly delicious! My Hendricks martini arrived with a slice of cucumber as garnish- a stroke of genius- and has since become my sine qua non ( if you can persuade the bar tender to supply the cucumber!) Go on spoil yourself!! You'll thank me afterwards.“

“Our food was great as chef perfectly accommodated my request for light garlic in the shrimp scampi. My wife loved her stuffed haddock. These were part of the Sunday special: good sized entree and blueberry pie for $18 which is cheap for just the entree alone. Nice decor and our server Shannon was fantastic. We'll be back!“

“I haven't had a full 5 star experience at a place in a while. This is a restaurant but honestly it felt like so much more than a simple place to sit and be served food. John and Susan, the owners, were great to chat with. The space was decorated with a great vibe. The food was absolutely spectacular with unexpected flavors that were delicious. It's not cheap but it's a great value in my opinion. Highly recommend.“

“Visiting from Dallas, TX. We decided to stop in for a bite to eat before heading back to Boston. The service was courteous and prompt. The Fried Calamari appetizer was well cooked, not rubbery. The Lobster Mac N Cheese had a good portion of Lobster but the cheese sauce needed more salt. The baked seafood sampler was well-seasoned and cooked to perfection. For dessert, we enjoyed a Blueberry pie with ice cream. Overall we enjoyed the visit and would recommend it to anyone.“

“Tonight I had a wonderful dinner with my husband I think the service was great and the food was delicious and I think the manager was so wonderful and very pleasant and I think the restaurant is a 5 star all the way. Thank u“

“Great restaurant! First thing I noticed is the happiness of the employees o thing but smiles. Everyone working helped each other and they seemed to be a team who enjoys working with each other because of that our service was impeccable. From drinks to the food everything was delicious. We started with fried calamari cooked perfectly, we had warm rolls served with soft butter ,roasted garlic and olives. We ordered the salmon and monk fish both cooked with so much flavor and the presentation was beautiful. Then for dessert we ordered the banana cake new on the menu I’m not a sweet eater but this was perfect not too sweet…..definitely everyone should visit this restaurant.“

“My husband and I sat at the bar- enjoyed impeccable service as we watched oysters being shucked in front of us. I had Welfleet oysters fresh and delish, and we both enjoyed bowls of perfect NE clam chowder! All of this paired with a Maine Lunch it was the perfect supper in a fun and chic atmosphere!“

“We just checked in a little bit ago and already are liking the place. People at the front desk were very courteous. Allowed us to check in early. We have a great view of the beach. We are literally a stones throw from the beach at Long Sands. It’s going to be a fun 3 days we are here!!“

“I enjoy this place a lot. Old school. Wish they would open the dining soon. They had a hard winter with the flooding this January. This venue is right on the water. Real cool watching the boats come by. Best salad bar in the area. Pumpkin bread rocks!“

“Came here for a quick lunch while visiting Ogunquit as "Beach Fire" was allegedly one of the top rated restaurants in town. It was a bit difficult to find parking on a busy Sunday afternoon, but we found a spot and headed in. The service was average, nothing to write home about. We were seated with five minutes of our arrival and the whole dining experience took close to 45 minutes total, which was standard. I'm not much of a seafood girl, so I opted for the "Rancher" sandwich which came with smoked chicken, bacon bits, melted cheese, mixed greens, tomato, and ranch. The smoked chicken was flavorful, but I would have preferred it to be just a simple slab of grilled chicken with pepper instead, because the smokiness was very overpowering. The homemade ranch, however, was extremely delicious and I yearned for a bottle to take home with me. The mixed greens added color and texture to the sandwich, which was appreciated. I also opted for a side of baked beans, which were delicious and had a bit of BBQ tang to them. Overall, the sandwich was decent but pretty messy, so make sure to have napkins nearby! We also ordered lobster rolls which sold at a market price of $29, which stood close to average for New England this season (I believe the range is $25-35). It was very tasty and fresh, but would have been served better warm instead of cold. The portion was fair, though the side dishes were bigger than the main course (as pictured). The fries were so-so, but the side caesar was one of the best Caesar salads I've ever had in my life. Beach Fire clearly knows how to do their dressings. Overall, I left satisfied and ready to take on Ogunquit!“

“Oh ALICE,She and her husband own this restaurant and it shows the love.Young is the bartender and they yell your name when you enter. You feel amazing and as you notice, others do too. The person touch happens fast here and the food is fantastic. I have about everything on the menu but we have our go to items now. Join the family and this super clean and inviting place ☺️Vegetarian options: I have loved the tofu dishes and they do what you ask with what you need. I have tamari instead of soy sauce. Very helpful.Parking: The location is hard to find for new people but once you find it, you're in! The parking is easy and lots of it.Wheelchair accessibility: I was in a wheelchair after a stroke and it's one level from entrance to table. There is a ramp to avoid the curb but cars aren't always thoughtful about that.“

“As a local, I've had my fair share of visits to Cape Neddick Lobster Pound, and I can confidently say that Sherie the bartender is a standout. Whether it's a busy summer evening or a quiet afternoon, she manages the bar with the utmost grace and efficiency, never letting the hustle get to her. Sherie’s cool demeanor during the busiest times is genuinely impressive, and it adds to the relaxed atmosphere of the place.Her personable approach makes every guest feel special. Sherie remembers your favorite drink and greets you with a warm smile, making the Cape Neddick Lobster Pound feel even more like home. Speaking of drinks, she mixes them with a mastery that could rival any big-city bartender. Whether you prefer classic cocktails or something new and adventurous, Sherri's creations are always on point.So, if you're looking for a place to unwind and enjoy some fantastic drinks, head over to the Lobster Pound and look for Sherie. She'll take great care of you, making sure your experience is nothing short of excellent. She's not just a bartender; she's a part of what makes our local scene so special!“

“Love this place, great Thai food with extremely friendly people working here. Big fan of their duck and beef noodle soups, they also have a special one going so check for that on FB page. Usually get drunken noodles also if even to eat next day. The appetizer platter is great as well. Also the Para garden is awesome if you like peanut sauce. Curries are very good as well. Haven't disliked anything actually. Thai ice teas great too!“

“Food was excellent as always. Pet peeve - tell your wait staff to ask before taking silverware off an appetizer plate and placing on the table. It's gross to have silverware on a table cleaned with chemicals. Also if there are spills, offer to wipe things up“

“I have been eating there for years. I went the other night because I was craving scallops. I got my usual scallops and tried to substitute o-rings for fries. The girl told me it wasn't allowed. No substitutions. I was willing to pay for the upgrade. No go. I live in the area and there are a lot of other options which I'll be trying.“

“We came here for an evening and had some drinks with Brittany, had great service and convo, came back for breakfast and had an absolutely AMAZING breakfast with again great service and I dare say one of the best breakfasts we’ve ever had! Highly recommend, if I could give this place 10 stars I would!“

“Had an awesome experience at the oar house this weekend. Got to sit at the bar and taste some new creations from the bartender. Was really cool watching the experimentation and getting a first glance at the upcoming drinks. Snagged a couple of photos ??“

“the fox was great dining experience food was terrific and friendly service will definitely go back“

“Food was fantastic. Portions, freshness, flavors, presentation. Top notch. Parking huge, place small. Wish they felt confident and moneyed enough to expand or add a floor. Restrooms were sterling for access, decor, hygiene, aesthetics. Hostess was a very welcoming and very organized greeter. Waitress was a super professional and a wizard with recommendations. Cocktails were made by some person who is clearly a master at Jameson Highballs and or Cranberry Margherita works of art. Desserts were big city caliber, and the coffee was the perfect send-off into the night for the theater after a hell of a dinner. I was in a party of 4. All first timers. We all were floored at how great Johnson's is.“

“The waitress flips with cotscoVegetarian options: They have a symbol with vegetarian symbolDietary restrictions: Just have everythingParking: Just good parkingKid-friendliness: Were kids we are allowed to eat here with no adultsWheelchair accessibility: They allow handicap parking“

“Beautiful resort with great amenities. They clean your room twice a day and the staff is friendly . The dining area is just perfect that serves breakfast lunch and dinner . Definitely the place to stay if your visiting York . I loved it .“

“Great place tucked away in town. Has an upstairs patio outside and indoor seating. Food is great and reasonably priced. Also, friendly service. Definitely recommend anything to eat here.Parking: Parking is a little small and off the main road behind the main buildings in town. Not too many spaces, but there is paid street parking as well. Great restaurant overall.“

“The place is great with a lot of seating and easy parking. The server was delightful and very helpful. We tried surf n turf, baked haddock and scallops, and sides of mash, coleslaw, and rice. Food was amazing and portions were large. Do yourself a favor and order seafood chowder soup as well! It’s loaded, creamy, and rich.My only comment would be that food was a little bland and needed salt to my liking, but that’s not a big issue I just added more salt.Overall was a great dinner experience for our little family“

“This is the first restaurant I've visited while being back in the US, and I wasn't disappointed.The fish in the sandwich was twice as big as the bun!Great people, great location, and great food.I think the only thing I would change would be to add some made in hause sauces for the food.Overall great experience.Parking: There is plenty of parking on site.“

“Great outdoor entertainment Enjoy music, dancing, food & drinks People have a great time“

“Had pretty decent dinner here when we visited. Make sure you give yourself enough time to beat the crowds of people in the evening. Pretty cool to go up the pool and choose your lobster among the dozens available. They also certainly know how to make a generous portion size.“

“This restaurant is absolutely wonderful. The location is extraordinary. The service is perfect and the food is delicious and creative. The bartender John is personable and makes great drinks. The hostess, who sadly I didn’t get her name was very friendly and very accommodating in seating us. The waitress was also just as great. I highly recommend this restaurant. We had a wonderful, memorable, delicious dinner. The view is gorgeous.Wheelchair accessibility: They have a lift on the side of the stairs.“

“Fantastic Food, outstanding service, great dining room.“

“Very cozy feel inside! Food was delicious! We were there for lunch. I had the seafood chowder, it was excellent & very filling. My friends had salads & said they were delicious! They looked great!! Would definitely recommend this restaurant.Parking: There’s metored street parkin across from The restaurant & a parking garage close by“

“Had lunch overlooking the ocean. Beautiful scenery and delicious lunch. Had the lobster roll with a side salad. The lobster roll was overflowing with lobster meat and very little mayo. Our server was friendly and polite. Must place to eat when in the area.“

“We had a nice relaxed Breakfast here while staying at the hotel off-season. Jazz music in the background, nice waiter, good food. The view in the background makes it extra special. Would eat here again. (The entrance door open was on the south side, the other doors were locked.)“

“We drove a very long way to have Maine lobster for my son’s birthday and we’re NOT disappointed. The portions were not huge and it was quite pricey however, our waitress (I think her name was Lacy??) was so sweet! She made sure to make my son’s evening special.She was knowledgeable, diligent and kind. The food was delicious ESPECIALLY the desserts (in my opinion).My son INHALED the lobster and said this has been his favorite birthday so far!Kid-friendliness: Yummy sundae for the birthday boy!!“

“Beautiful setting. Good food and staff!“

“We visit the York Beach area one to two times a year and have eaten at The England House many times. The food and service are always excellent. This visit to Maine we visited two times. The steak bomb special and the fish dinner were amazing.“
