Fantastic service, food and drinks. My husband got the steamed Maine lobster and it was a lot easier to get out of its shell than expected. I would not recommend the lazy lobster, it is easier than getting the lobster out of its shell but it's served in a lot of butter.

Over priced for lousy food. We had a better meal at Luke's Lobster for a lot less money. Dimillos is a tourist trap with so so

A great place for dinner. Beautiful views of the water in Portland harbor. The food was great and the atmosphere was incredibly relaxing. Luigi was a delightful server who was attentive and our food was brought out in a timely manner. I recommend to anyone just visiting Portland, but was also a very nice experience for those of us who are more familiar with the area also. I will definitely go again in the future.

Being my first time in Portland, Maine, my colleagues thought it a treat to take me to a popular restaurant, DeMillos on the Water. I was pleasantly surprised with the variety and diversity of seafood options (it is what they are known for) as well as land options for those that prefer. What none of us were prepared for was the incredible wit from our server 'Bobby' who has worked at this establishment for 28 years. Her incredible humor, strong knowledge of the menu and recommendations did not fall on deaf ears. We not only laughed throughout the meal but were also incredibly impressed with the food that we were served. I started with the Lobster Stew, which as 'Bobby' described, was full of buttery goodness and flavor. It did NOT disappoint! In addition, they have both gluten free as well as gluten free options to many of the selections. The pecan crusted haddock that several of us chose was packed with flavor and more than satisfying. I can't think of a better location to have your 'first meal' in Maine and would go back just for the entertainment that our server provided for us!

It was my first time here. It's an actual restaurant boat on the water! It doesn't sway with the waves, so I'm fairly certain it's stuck there.I was under dressed as this entire trip was a pleasant surprise with a friend. From the moment I stepped in side the door, I felt myself welcome. The staff and patrons are so incredibly kind humans. The food was delicious. I witnessed the manager walking around and introducing himself to guests and shaking hands. Even leaving, I was sad to go. I hope one day we can go again.

This is a must-try restaurant if you are visiting or from the area. There is an opinion from plenty of locals this is more of a tourist trap. I would disagree with that notion. You may find seafood you like more elsewhere but DiMillo’s has fresh and high quality tasting food either way. A spot that can be extremely busy during the summer cause how can you pass up enjoying seafood on a boat floating restaurant especially if you get a window seat. Tasty food (give the bacon wrapped scallops a try for an app and try the lobster mac n cheese or pecan crusted fish for an entree) and good cocktails or beer/wine. The prices will add up quickly especially if you bring a large party and get apps and drinks but seafood and fine dining usually are pricey. Also if you take advantage of their parking lot and bring in your ticket and get it validated then you get free parking! Like I said this place is a must-try so add it to your list!

we love it here. Cozy, good music, consistent quality food choices…the haddock chowder and What the Fish sandwich, our server Ryan makes a mean, Hard Shore martini. Thank you DiMillo’s!
