This place is a tourist trap. I LOVE the idea of it being a floating restaurant shaped as a boat. I ate here once 4 years ago, and decided to try it again- because like I said its a great experience.<br> We were of course put on a wait list (Labor Day weekend) and sat on the dock- no biggie. We were able to get seated next to a window at the bow of the boat, however our view was of the pier beam, again not too mad.<br> Our server was awesome, he was personable and didn't over crowd or rush us- something I, as an indecisive person, really appreciate!<br><br>We started with the bacon wrapped scallops- DELISH!<br> He ordered a beer, and I chose the habanero margarita (as a bartender myself, this had a KICK balanced w/ just the right amount of simple syrup to sweeten it up.....by far the best drink from my whole Portland trip!)<br> My s/o ordered the stuffed &breaded lobster for the first time. It came out tasting amazing! <br> I chose to order 2 appetizers as my meal- I couldn't fathom walking around and up all the hills Portland offers- after stuffing my face. I tried the steamed muscles (first time for me as well!) The sauce tasted great and presentation was cool- came in a rustic pail. Second thing I ordered was the spicy seared tuna. This fell short for me- hard. They were thinly cut (as advertised), the size of jalapeno slices per ea was overpowering, but when I took the pepper out of the equation it was completely bland- I could not taste the vinaigrette or even the aioli.<br><br>Overall this place is good for the experience, but for food nerds like me- there are better places to experience Maine Lobster in Portland.

No complaints about the food, service or pleasantness of the setting, however the RESERVATION dynamic is profoundly frustrating!!! Just made a third attempt in less than a month to book a table . Grrr have tried calling 4 days in advance and even for a weekday reservation outside...no go. We are local, but must have missed the distribution of secret DiMillo reservation code rings. Sad. Time to buy a dinghy, row to the waterfront and order takeout.
