    Always a fun stop and a must for my husband who wants fried clams. I had a wonderful Chinese inspired oyster bun with miso aioli and cilantro, friendly staff

    I would give DiMillo's 3 1/2 starts if I could. It was overall pretty disappointing service wise. We came with a group of 5 for dinner and were seated promptly. After that everything went downhill. <br>Though you might be "paying for the view" there wasn't much of it when sitting in the middle of the boat. With entrees starting at $22-40, I expected far better service. It's pretty much a tourist trap. <br><br>Our waitress was slow to greet us and even slower to get drinks out. After ordering our entrees, a bread basket and butter was brought out. Then our bread plates were whisked away, so we assumed food was about to come out. Nope. <br>Food came out 25 minutes later (about 38 minutes after ordering). During this time we listened to three rounds of happy birthday from tables around us. Clearly this is a special occasion kind of place. <br>The portions were huge. The fried chicken thigh & polenta with bacon marmalade was really intense and creamy. It was too rich to even finish half of. The haddock dishes were decent, but the green bean sides were so al dente they were not edible. <br><br>The only way I would hit DiMillo's again would be on the weekday happy hour in the bar area, not the dining room. There are far better options downtown.

    My family (husband and two young teen boys) were visiting from Michigan, and we were looking forward to a lobster dinner on our last night in Portland. After reading tons of reviews, I settled on DiMillo's. <br><br>There was no wait (Monday night) which was nice. The staff seemed bored and not very welcoming, but I wasn't upset by it at all. Our server was very slow to come to our table, and wasn't very attentive the entire meal. She did, however, take the time to explain how to break apart lobster (it was our first time eating it), which was nice. I wasn't too thrilled that she carded my husband for his drink but didn't card me! Haha, I'm 36 and my husband is 37. <br><br>I ordered the seafood scampi and the rest of the family ordered lobster. The scampi was disappointing--I definitely would not recommend it. It didn't have much flavor at all, and needed salt. The scallops in the scampi were good, but the shrimp and lobster were over cooked. <br><br>My family enjoyed trying lobster for the first time, but all agreed it was overrated. Certainly not worth $230! <br><br>One thing that I really appreciated was that the owner came to our table and chatted with us for a couple of minutes. He was very kind. <br><br>Overall, I gave DiMillo's two stars because of the subpar service, aloof staff, and just so-so food. I was hoping to rave about it, but we wouldn't go there again.

    Atmosphere was better than the view. Portions were small, prices were for the luxury of dining on a moored boat.

    Great views and great food. Prices are not that bad for eating on a boat.
